OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION 2.75 INCH TRAINING ROCKET LAUNCHER.

Abstract

Rocket firing training could not be provided for the initial F-4 pilot classes in Course No. lll507F because of the temporary non-availability of 2.75 in. rocket launchers. The 2.75 in. Training Rocket Launcher was developed and tested by the 4453rd Combat Crew Training Squadron and F-4C Operational Engineering Division. The interim launcher consisted of MA-2A rocket tubes attached to a modified MA-3 Adapter. Flight testing was satisfactory and resonable rocket firing accuracy was obtained. Loading, checkout, and pilot checklists were developed. It was observed that the present F-4B sight is unstable and that pilot acquisition of the sight aim dot is difficult at zero or small depression settings. The test aircraft intervelometer was found to be unreliable. (Author)
