Sorry for the (maybe) Dumb Question; ..........

 

............ But what does that Bracket (in HUD) do, what is it telling me ?

 

In terms of:

 

- Airspeed (AoA)

 

- Pitch Trim

 

- Power Setting

 

- AoA Indexer

 

 

I've read references to it in the Forum and Flight Manual, but still don't quite grasp what it's telling me. Does it know something I don't from just eye-balling it ?

 

THANX !

Learn all about how the hornet lands using on speed AOA in this thread here

 

Be sure to watch the first video in that thread by a former F-18 pilot that will explain how the navy lands aircraft using on speed AOA.

 

The O donut (angle of attack indicator) to the left is the same thing as the hud E bracket.

 

In other words. You are on speed in that pic and it's also to help you trim the aircraft correctly for on speed.

Why does the AOA value in the HUD disappear?

 

 

Because you are then using the E bracket to manage it
