First of all...how do we know he is out of control? no speed, no AOA readout....
Because the manoeuvre was a little violent? Normally when a guy goes of control he goes home...because it might be a problem with the FLCS.
So if the AOA and speed are not known you do not know if he went out of control.
That is what it was designed for (stores caution light) however there are now many configs that produce a false stores config light. In the manuals it will specificaly tell the pilot he may accept a stores config light with certain configs.
In the real jet you will have a cursor on the HSD. When the HSD is SOI you could designate steerpoints by going TMS up on a steerpoint. Also, you will see the radar search volume on the HSD, and you would see Markpoints and more.
They have a book for any authorized stores loading. They can see what the MAX G is and what position the Stores config need to be in. Also with lots of stores after a certain fuel stat they may pull more G's.
That book is about 1500 pages thick
True statement. But also be aware that when the Air refuel door is open the Viper is in landing gains...those gains are not made for speeds above 400kts. But now that I remember the Digital FLCS will cycle from Takeoff and landing gains to cruise gains whenever speed is above 400kts and the air refuel door is open or ALT flaps extended. The analog FLCS had the problem going over 400kts and doing funky stuff. So this is a bug and should not happen with DFLCS
You are talking TAS not CAS as indicated on the airspeed dial and normally the HUD (indicated with a C next to the speed tape). In calibrated airspeed M1.0 at 40000ft is around 300kts.
1. that freq never showed in my radio
2.okay..;-) doe you mean the sticker?
3. UHF backup radio is on battery power. so if it's on and main power in batt or main power it is supposed to work..regardless you are in UFC or backup
