dresoccer4 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 quick question: i'm still learning all the things the CDU can do, and was wondering if it was able to display any sort of data like most efficient altitude, or remaining flight time at current speed, or best cruise speed, etc. Sort of like the info that the AV-8B or F/A-18C can display on the MFDs?

Puma Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I am not aware of any sich functions. At best the mission planner would have set well timed waypoints with that in kind and the cdu will help you follow the plan. I keep the performance charts from the flight manual nearby for the rare time I need to optimize any of those.

Wrench Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hog pilots have to do it all by hand. You have to know things like the drag index of all the external stores, current gross weight, air temp and pressure at atitude, etc. There was a fuel planning worksheet around here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

JokerMan Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 In NAV mode, the HUD does display both Distance and Time to next steerpoint on the bottom right side. But that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
