The five values of B and the corresponding best-fit values of A used to compute the Mode-5 distributions shown in Figure 9 through Figure 13 are tabulated in Table 20. It is apparent that the value of A is dependent on both qcx. and B. In general, if a larger value of B is selected, a larger value of A is required to effect a fit with the random- attitude-tum data. On the other hand, if the breakup qcx. is increased, the required value of A must be decreased. Only qcx. is critical since, as shown later, any value of B, together with its corresponding value of A, can be used in the launch-area risk computations if significant targets do not lie within ±80° of the flight line.
