Magnetic ... it's the magnetic final approach course assigned by CATTC as an extension of the landing area; i.e., an extension of the ANGLE DECK.That's the one.... , is FB true or magnetic?

HUH???More specifically, the VFR Pattern for Case I and II is aligned to BRC, whilst the CV-1 Approach and CCA box are aligned to Final Bearing.
goes w/ a Night/IFR/Case III/CCA approach patten .... 'cause you fly an "IFR" radar-controlled "racetrack" pattern to land
Well, yeah. Sort of ... but as I'm not sure what you mean, let me add that you essentially do a racetrack-fixed wing-- @ night -- if you BOLTER or WAVE-OFF ...Oh, yeah. Sort of.

In no particular order:
-Radar: Where does it come in?
-JDAM: GPS, do-all?
-AGM-65 Maverick: TV-guided (means what?), IR? Situations?
-Paveway: LGB, homes off the "sparkle?" Pros, cons?
-Mk80 Series: Still employed regularly, yes? How precise can they be?
-CBUs / Rockeye (distinction?): Banned? Dumb, smart, "retarded" still, or all of the above?
-Harpoons: Radar-guided?
-Torpdedoes (and Bouys): sonar voodoo from any "player" out there? Active? Passive?
-FLIR Family: has navigation use as well? Laser-designation? LITENING differences?
-Anything I'm missing!
What do we use when and how do make it go the right direction?
There is various information disseminated throughout the wealth of the board, BUT being that it's acronym heavy, I figure it can't hurt to have a kind of collective discussion.
Obviously I mean for this to be an unclassified type of discussion. Maybe beyond the Wikis, there IS nothing to discuss, but I just thought I would ask.

You mean a freshwater wash-down? Yup. Though it's not right after landing like you helo bubbas. Usually it's something for a no-fly day, and if the evaps are working well enough (real problem on poor ol' broke-ass JFK during her last cruise).
