Locating low level flight targets (FCR)
-
I usually fly at fl028 to avoid AAA along the way.
When i get a warning by AWACS of a low flying tgt’s, like heli’s, that are near me i try to locate them using the FCR\RWS but with no sucsses. Usully the problem is with bandits below 5000ft.
I check to see that the range of the scan is atlist at 0 at the low end and even try lower scan (minus number in red).So, how can i locate and designate low flying targets while i fly very high. is there a specific FCR confiuration that i need to do ?

This can be pretty difficult, you can use the TGP for helo’s though.

Helicopters fly slow, so use GMT if they’re moving or GM if AWACS is calling them in the same position and they are hovering/dropping off troops.
Then use TGP (if available) to zoom in visually.
