Mk-82 explosion
-
Hi,
For a training mission over POH with 4 Mk-82 loaded, I release one bomb per one pass.
The first released bomb explode, but for the second pass, all the others 3 bombs hit the target but not explode!
Anyone have the same issue ?
Thanks,
Vincent -
havent experienced that issue… high enough altitude? did the bomb arm?
-
one possibility is over g.

Hi,
I have made some fuze change, but the problem is still the same.
I dropped the bombs from 3,000 ft in CCIP but I have the feeling that the bomb does not arm.
I was no over g for the whole flight (CAT III).
Very strange.

Hi,
I tried to limit my maneuver by 3g, and all the bombs exploded!
Apparently, this is an over g case, but I didn’t know that the bombs fuse was so sensitive.
Thanks for the link.

… and what about over-speed? (refer to “limitations” into load-out page.)

I was taught CAT III wasn’t to avoid over G - it’s designed to avoid stalling as far as I remember correctly.

Correct. CATI , II , III are AoA limiter. Not a G limiter.
Many posts about it might be found on the forum. I an almost sure than in manuals also.

the CAT limiter switch does not protect the stores in any manner. it protects the aircraft from out of control flight by trying to limit angle of attack, which in turn can limit G available depending on airspeed.
stores limitations are pilot observed, the jet wont do it for you.
