– Added CSET display on F-15c HUD - ?

[fitness88]

– Added CSET display on HUD - is displayed for the first 10 seconds after ILS mode selection.

 

What does CSET stand for and what does it do for the 10 seconds while it is displayed?

 

Thank you.

The answer

 

Course Set (CSET) appears on the HUD to remind the pilot to set the final approach course. The CSET symbol flashes for 10 seconds and then disappears. Because we have simplified avionics in FC3 and can't change course setting on HSI, this feature isn't matter in simulator.

So in true mode, the pilot should manully set the final apporach course? Can you teach me more details? Thanks a lot.

Ex. you fly inbound to Nellis AFB, get active runway 21R from ATC and set 209 on course knob to have it correctly visible on HUD and HSI, probably in TACAN mode, that can help you to get aligned on downwind in overhead pattern.
