        First one is the altitude tracker. The FCR beam has sidelobes that might get reflected off the ground and cause false alarms - to counter that, the FCR has criteria to dismiss echoes at the RAlt range. The symbol informs the pilot at which range this special processing is applied.

        Second is the Quarter Mile indication. Gives you a scale indication by displaying how wide in the display a 1500 ft distance is.

            I just performed a mission where I was delivering CBUs on a line of soft armor/infantry and couldn’t figure out my ripple spacing because the units weren’t right on top of each other as usual. This is a very helpful bit of info, thanks!

              Have you tried turning on the blast radius overlay on the TGP?

                What is this sorcery?? Are you talking about the frag circle? I found it in the manual. I’ll have to check it out.
