The automatic-computed release system relies on what to decide when to release?

• A. Pilot input only
• B. Preloaded parameters
• C. Visual cue
• D. Random timing

Answer: (B)

Automatic-computed release relies on the flight computer using preloaded parameters to decide when to release. Before and during flight, data such as aircraft weight and balance, configuration, altitude, airspeed, and target geometry are loaded into the system. The computer processes these values and calculates the exact release point, actuating the release when the computed conditions are met. This approach provides a consistent, accurate solution independent of pilot timing, visual cues, or chance timing.
