Bulldog_1 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 With the aircraft stopped and engines running, the AOA vane intermittently oscillates from 0 - 30 units. This can be observed visually externally, and from within the cockpit when looking at the AOA gage. Thinking back, I don't ever remember seeing the AOA vane move when the aircraft sat static. There is no mention of this phenomenon in the -1. I don't remember seeing this on the T-38 either, basically the same system. Minor issue though.

Bulldog_1 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 No wind condition? I'm thinking it would have to be a pretty strong wind to cause the movement I'm seeing. Maybe if the AOA vane was mounted vertically like a weather vane. I still have never seen this behavior on any aircraft I have worked. :prop: DELL OptiPlex AIO 7410: i5-12500T 2.00GHz: 2TB SSD: 64GB RAM: UHD 770 1920x1080 @ 60Hz: ThrustMaster HOTAS X: IRL Retired Maintainer of the AT-38B: F-4E/G: F-15A/B/C/D: and McDonnell Douglas/Boeing Technical Advisor for the F-15C/D.
