SPOTTING
SA spotting is the observer’s
determination of the location of the
burst with respect to the adjusting
point as observed along the OT line.
7. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 77
SPOTTINGS
Spottings must be made by the observer the
instant the bursts occur.
•Observers will make spottings for deviation,
range, and height of burst.
• The observer should consider the most
difficult spottings first. The sequence of
spottings is HOB (air or graze), range (over
or short), and deviation (left or right).

RANGE SPOTTINGS
Definite range spottings are required
to make a proper range adjustment.
Any range spotting other than
DOUBTFUL, LOST, or UNOBSERVED
is definite. Normally, a round which
impacts on or near the OT line results
in a definite range spotting.

DEVIATION
A deviation spotting is the angular
measurement from the adjusting point to the
burst as seen from the observer's position.
During a fire mission, the observer measures
the deviation, in mils, with his binoculars (or
another angle-measuring instrument).
Deviation spottings are measured to the
nearest 5 mils for area fires and 1 mil for
precision fires.
26. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 2626
DEVIATION SPOTTING
Deviation spottings are taken from the
center of a single burst or, in the case of
platoon or battery fire, from the center of
the group of bursts. Deviation spottings
should be made as accurately as possible
to help in obtaining definite range
spottings.

Deviation Corrections
The distance in meters that the burst is to be
moved (right or left). It is determined by
multiplying the observer’s deviation spotting in
mils by the OT factor, then expressed to the
nearest 10 meters. Corrections of less than 30
meters are considered as minor deviation
corrections and should not be sent to the FDC
except if conducting a destruction mission or as
refinement data when ending an area fire
mission.

DETERMINING THE OT FACTOR
An important element in making proper
corrections is determining the OT factor.
In determining the OT factor, the observer
will express the observer target distance to
the nearest thousands.
36. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 3636
OT FACTOR
OT Distance = 2300
OT Distance Expressed to

44. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 4444
RANGE CORRECTION
When making a range correction the
observer attempts to “add" or “drop”
the adjusting round. If his spotting
was SHORT, he will add; if his spotting
was OVER, he will drop. When
conducting an adjustment onto a
target, the observer may choose to
establish a range bracket
45. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 4545
RANGE CORRECTION
HASTY BRACKETING
Hasty bracketing is best when fires are
required and the observer is
experienced in the adjustment of fire.
Success at hasty bracketing adjustment
requires the observer to conduct a
thorough terrain analysis that gives the
observer an accurate target location.
(An accurate target location would be within
250 meters of the target).
49. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 4949
ONE ROUND ADJUST
The observer spots the location of the first round,
calculates and transmits to the FDC the corrections
necessary to move the burst of the round to the adjusting
point, and fires for effect. This technique requires either
an experienced observer or one with accurate distance-
measuring equipment such as a laser range finder. All
missions conducted by using a G/VLLD should be FFE or
one-round adjustments.
52. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 5252
CREEPING FIRE
Creeping fire is used mainly in
danger close missions. The
observer should make range
changes by creeping the
rounds to the target, using
corrections of 100 meters or
less, rather than making large
range corrections..
58. USAFAS
TB34AK #TB34AK # 5858
SUCCESSIVE BRACKETING
After the first definite range spotting is determined, the
observer should send a range correction to the FDC to
establish a range bracket of known distance (one round
over and one round short). Once the bracket has been
established, the observer successively splits the bracket
until he is assured the rounds will be within 50 meters of the
adjusting point when he fires for effect. Normally, range
changes of 100, 200, 400, or 800 meters are used to make
splitting the bracket easier. The observer enters FFE when
he is sure of rounds impacting within 50 meters of the
adjusting point.

the number of mils in the air above the target,
the round bursts.

HEIGHT OF BURST
AIR--a round or group of rounds that bursts in the air.
The number of mils is determined. For example, a burst 10
mils above the target would be spotted as AIR 10.

impact.
