3.1.2 AIM-120 MODES OF OPERATION
The AIM-120 can be operated in 2 modes: SLAV and BORE. Switching between the two modes can be done either on the SMS
page, or with the CURSOR/ENABLE button. CURSOR/ENABLE can switch between SLAV and BORE either momentarily for as long
as it is pressed, or as a toggle, depending on the particular aircraft avionics.SLAV mode: SLAV[E] is the standard mode of operation for the AIM-120. In SLAV mode, the missile is slaved to the FCR. When a
track is bugged on the FCR (SAM, TTS/DTT or STT), the missile will be fired at the bugged track. As long as the target remains
bugged on the FCR, the missile will receive updates on target position in-flight via the AIM-120’s datalink up to the point when it
is close enough to activate its own seeker. With a bugged target in SLAV, the missile can be fired with a long press of the Pickle
button.SLAV mode without a bugged target: A missile can also be fired in SLAV without a bugged target, by a long simultaneous press of
UNCAGE and Pickle. The missile is then fired without a target and will not activate its seeker. This mode is essentially a missile
jettison.BORE mode: BORE allows you to fire a missile relying solely on the missile seeker to find a target. In BORE launch, the missile
seeker goes active directly after launch and targets the first aircraft it ‘sees’. This mode should only be used for self-defence with
extreme caution, as the missile seeker will not discriminate friend or foe (the brevity for such a launch is MADDOG for good
reason). In BORE mode, missile fire is done by a simultaneous long press of UNCAGE and Pickle. In BORE mode, the missile will
ignore any bugged target on the FCR.NOTE: This mode is well suited in dogfights when a Sidewinder (or other AA IR missile) is not an option.

Thanks. I never knew it wasn’t used like that. -

And above all thanks for taking the time to copy-paste a portion of the manual you could have simply referenced.

No problem with that. I thought someone, anyone, had to thank you for that.

Above even that, thanks for taking the time to thank one for taking the time to copy-paste a portion of the manual he could have simply referenced.
