What the hell does "hao'le" stand for?

A racist and derogatory term for white people in Hawaii. Usually in reference to white tourists. Think of it like "gringo".

(2) Continue break turn as you assess bandit's pursuit. If bandit pulls lead, continue to generate angles, executing guns defense when appropriate. If bandit overshoots in close with high TCR, execute a maximum performance nose-high reversal to swing the bandit into the forward quarter.

I've searched online and in the PDF manual I'm reading, but I can't find what TCR is.

EDIT: After some more reading through the manual it appears to be closure / overtake. What do the letters stand for?

Could you post a link?

I have a link for several ACM manuals, but some I only have in PDF files. The one I had questions about is a PDF file.

I would be happy to post a link, anyone have any objections to posting links to ACM manuals available in the public domain?
