Bearfoot Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 The NATOPS manual provides sets of EM diagrams for two configurations --- "Maneuver Flaps and Slats on AUTO vs Not Operating". How does this related to the sim? I know you can manually operate the maneuver flaps using the DLC if the flaps are up. Is it on AUTO otherwise? And what are our slats and how do we operate them?
lunaticfringe Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 You really need to take a leisurely stroll through chapter 2, section 22 of F14AAP-1 to get a handle on the nature of the control surface interactions. F14AAA-1 or AAD-1 are reasonable substitutes, dismissing glove vane information in the former. The slats are the leading edge area of the wings that descend when flaps are actuated. Maneuvering mode flaps and slats are CADC controlled via schedule, and overridden using the DLC thumbwheel.

I'm giving it a close read right now!
