Bouli306 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Sigh. Okay. That’s not at all what I even said. And again, you just reiterated what I’ve previously said. Not in the mood to argue semantics. Jesus, you got to be a damn lawyer to even post on here. A major turn off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro You just have to be correct. That is all.

Fjordmonkey Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 You just have to be correct. That is all. I learned this the hard way :P @Eagle7907: Just remember that many here, and especially in this part of the forum, to have firsthand knowledge on the Viper, be it as currently or previosly serving groundcrew or pilots from a variety of current and previous operators of the aircraft. Many of us are also not native english-speakers which can complicate things even more. As an old crewchief once told me: you're either in accordance to the book, or not at all. Regards Fjordmonkey Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone. I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.

Eagle7907 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Questions about Stores config switch No where did I imply that the jet magically knows, he just assumed that’s what I meant. I was speaking in generality which he either doesn’t understand or just wants to pick a who-knows-it-all contest. This isn’t the first, and probably won’t be the last unfortunately. Guess I’ll just shut up.

The stores config light is still something that confuses pilots every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRuffen Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Ok, so if the FLCS doesn't limit G's even though it has data about what stores you have, how can I as a pilot know how many G's I can pull with X amount of bombs, Y% fuel in external tanks and so on? Would I need charts and tables for each possible external stores config and look up in a new spot whenever I drop ordnance or use fuel, or is there a standard max G like "just never exceed 5 Gs with any A/G ordnance or external fuel and you'll survive"?

They have a book for any authorized stores loading. They can see what the MAX G is and what position the Stores config need to be in. Also with lots of stores after a certain fuel stat they may pull more G's. That book is about 1500 pages thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Each load configuration has limits in symmetrical load, asymmetrical load, speed, Mach, etc. They can also be different for carriage, jettison, and normal release. You can see why it is said a fully-trained fighter pilot has the equivalent of a PhD education. I think most restrictive limits would be marked on knee board for one or more expected loading states as a reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
