 The angle of attack bracket, or "E" bracket, is displayed when the gear is down. It is horizontally aligned with the velocity vector and vertically positioned to visualize AOA relative to the velocity vector. When the HUD is caged and two velocity vectors are displayed, it is aligned with the caged velocity vector.
-The AOA brackets represents 6.9&deg;–9.3&deg; AOA. The middle mark indicates 8.1&deg;, which is the precise "on speed" AOA for landing. The AOA bracket serves as an easy means of getting "on speed" for landing. The typical technique is to pitch trim the aircraft such that the velocity vector is fixed at the 8.1&deg; mark.

 When AOA is between 6.9 and 9.3&deg; (i.e. the velocity vector is inside the E bracket), the AOA number on the HUD is removed as an indicator of being near on speed AOA.

 ====Symbology Reject Modes====
-HUD symbology can be decluttered, or "rejected", using the switch just under the Upfront Controller (UFC). There are three settings: ''NORM'', ''REJ1'', and ''REJ2''. The following symbology is rejected. All symbology rejected in REJ1 is also rejected in REJ2.

 The flight path/pitch ladder on the HUD is typically in fact a flight path ladder, in that it is positioned relative to the velocity vector. The pitch ladder drifts horizontally with the velocity vector. When the HUD is caged, the pitch ladder is aligned with the caged velocity vector so that it remains near the center of the HUD.
-Whenever the velocity vector which the pitch ladder is aligned with is outside the HUD field of view (FOV), the ladder shifts to the center of the HUD and is then positioned relative to the aircraft waterline instead. The waterline is indicated by a "W" symbol whenever the velocity vector is outside the HUD FOV. (The tops of the airspeed/altitude boxes are also coincident with the waterline.) In this scenario, it only indicates pitch relative to the waterline (nose) and not the flight path. Note that when the velocity vector is caged, if only the ghost velocity vector is outside the HUD, no change with the flight path ladder occurs since it is aligned with the caged velocity vector. The caged velocity vector will only escape the HUD FOV in extreme yaw/crosswind scenarios in a bank.

 The pitch/flight path ladder contains "rungs" in 5&deg; increments. The horizon itself is indicated by a solid line. Angles above the horizon are solid as well, while angles above are dashed. The rungs are slanted toward the horizon by half the amount of the angle which they represent. For example, the -5&deg; line is slanted 2.5&deg; upward (toward the horizon) and the +10&deg; line is slanted 5&deg; downward.

 #'''Sequence Order/Time on Target''' - The Waypoints contained in the selected Sequence are displayed here in the order they are in (left to right).

This allows another Waypoint to be selected for steering while keeping the selected Waypoint the MGRS grid reference. REFWP is boxed when the selected Waypoint is the reference. See [[#MGRS Coordinate Entry Sublevel|MGRS Coordinate Entry Sublevel]] for details.
 #'''Overfly''' - The OVFLY option sets the current selected Waypoint as an overfly point for Coupled Autopilot steering. When the selected Waypoint is an overfly point, OVFLY is boxed. Refer to [[#Overfly Function|Overfly Function]] for details.
 #'''Precise Coordinates''' - Boxing the PRECISE option allows for Waypoint coordinates to be entered and displayed to ten thousandths of a minute in decimal degree format. When unboxed, positional accuracy is to a hundredth of a minute (in decimal degrees) or a hundredth of a second (in degrees/minutes/seconds). To display and enter the precise coordinates the coordinate displays must be set to decimal degrees on the Aircraft Data sublevel.
