![]() Warning light indicating failure in both wing-sweep channels or disengagement of spider detent. Warning light indicating waveoff commanded. Warning light indicating autopilot selected but not engaged. Warning light indicating CATCC not ready for ACL, switch to standard voice procedures. When not in ACL it indicates no data link messages during last 10 seconds. Warning light indicating no data link command received for the last 2 seconds during ACL. Indicates 10 seconds to arrival at the next point in approach pattern in other modes. Warning light indicating that carrier motion is added to data link info and commands during landing. Warning light indicating aircraft is under data link control for landing. Warning light indicating CATCC is ready to control aircraft. Warning light indicating CATCC has aquired aircraft and is transmitting glidepath information to aircraft. See images and tables below.ĭata link warning and caution lights situated at the VDI panel.Īdvisory light indicating other aircraft close to own traffic pattern.Īdvisory light indicating carrier has a channel ready for ACL and that the crew should prepare for carrier landing. When pulled inserts filter for HUD night operation.Īllows adjustment/trim of pitch lines on HUD.Īllows adjustment/trim of pitch lines on VDI. Note 2įor more information see relevant chapters under Navigation and Weapons and Weapons Employment Overview. The VDI has a night filter that can be installed by clicking in the middle of the VDI screen. Red flag reading STBY that appears if system is in backup (stand-by) mode.Īt high speeds and below 10,000 feet, due to pressure changes, errors in readout up to as much as 1,200 feet when transonic and up to as much as 4,000 feet when supersonic can occur.ĭisplay that compliments the HUD in displaying flight and weapons data. If set to STBY or power or CADC data is absent for more than 3 seconds system switches to backup (pressure) mode. If power and altitude data from CADC is present, switch can be held in RESET for 3 seconds to allow normal (servoed) mode of operation. Three-position switch, springloaded to return from RESET. Indicates barometric pressure setting, also called the Kollsman Window. Only used locally on the altimeter readout, all other digital indicators (via CADC) uses a set 29.92 in.Hg value. Sets local pressure in inches of mercury (in.Hg). It also displays altitude on a pointer on a circular scale indicating 100’s of feet. The handle-top is extended for manual operation.Ĭontrol and indicator for the servopneumatic altimeter.ĭisplays altitude digitally on three drums showing 10 000, 1 000 and 100 of feet respectively. ![]() The manual/emergency wing-sweep handle is protected by a guard and is normally pushed in and stowed. Emergency up forces the flaps up, overriding the normal flap logic. Both emergency positions have detents, the lever needs to be moved outboards to continue movement into these positions. The flap lever has a stepless range of motion between up and down and has two emergency positions, one emergency up and one emergency down. The sideways movements of the throttles are not spring loaded, this is so the pilot can have the throttle resting at MIL power for catapult launches and prevents accidental spool down of the engines.Ī friction lever for selection of desired throttle movement friction is located on the left side of the throttle quadrant, beneath the flap lever. Moving the throttles to the IDLE position from OFF arms the ignition and disengages the fuel cutoff. The throttles have detents in the OFF, IDLE and MIL positions. The main throttle quadrant contains the two main-engine throttle controls, the flap lever and manual wing-sweep handle in addition to the HOTAS controls on the throttles themselves.
