![]() ![]() Press the menu button a second time to see the support menu. Most of these pages are not yet implemented. The tactical menu (TAC MENU) gives access to the stores, attack radar (ATTK RDR), head up display (HUD), target data (TGT DATA), electronic warfare (EW) and situation awareness (SA). ![]() Press it a second time to access the support menu. Press the MENU button once to access the tactical menu. On the row of buttons underneath the display press the center button, which is usually labeled “MENU”. The menu system is the same on all three main screens (DDIs and MPCD). The pilot should immediately react and fly towards the tip of the arrow to avoid a collision with the terrain. When the aircraft senses a collision thread with the terrain it displays a large pull up cue arrow that points towards the up direction. This takes a bit of practice to get used to but this approach mode makes the aircraft behave more like an aircraft without fly by wire and feels quite naturally. Use fine throttle changes to control the descent angle during final approach. When you decrease throttle the engine thrust decreases which slows the aircraft down and the fly by wire pitches down to stay at the trimmed angle of attack. When you increase throttle and the aircraft eventually speeds up the aircraft will start climbing. When the aircraft is in the approach mode the throttle inputs affect the flight path. Use the pitch trim commands to trim the aircraft during the approach. With the stick release the airplane starts to pitch up or down to regain the trim angle of attack. The angle of attack is now also used by the fly by wire to steer towards the trimmed angle of attack. ![]() With the flap selector on HALF or FULL the fly by wire enters the approach mode. The half position is selected for takeoff or approach.įULL: flaps and slats can deflect to the full position, again depending on airspeed. Below 250kts they gradually extend as speed decreases to maximize lift. HALF: flaps and slats deflect down to the half way position, depending on airspeed. Slats deflect automatically at high angles of attack to increase the stall margin. On high-g maneuvers the flaps and slats deflect down to increase lift. There are three positions that the pilot can select for the flaps and slats.ĪUTO: flaps and slats operate independently and asymmetrically based on many factors such as angle of attack, g-load and Mach-number. ![]()
