@LukeberryPi try thinking about the problem more than you think about the solution. break down all the steps by yourself. the more you break down the things is the more you are training your brain back into shape (breaking down things until they are simple enough to implement).
@stevemushero@usmilihist@HexenFlexer At the altitude they were at, touching down is probably less than 5-8 seconds.
Unfortunately, not enough to time to;
a) stabilize (yaw + aileron)
b) arrest downward momentum (~15ft/s)
c) upwards momentum and climb away
all of this required power they could not use.
@shiv_cybersurg Those are downlock / arm pins; you can see them here for the AMRAAM / HARM as well. That Akash on the left might not necessarily be an EOIR guided unit.
The one on the right might be a dummy piece.
@valigo Is there a historical reason for using AT&T syntax? And +1 on the embedded ASM in C.. but I find that the cookbook for your specific target helps a lot with the register name / conventions.
