[REPORTED]Cage/Uncage button does not work with MAV when master arm SAFE

[Jak525]

When the master arm is set to SAFE, the AGM-65F cannot be uncaged or re-caged using the Cage/Uncage button. However, it can still be uncaged by holding and slewing the TDC and can acquire a target. The difference is you cannot uncage it with Cage/Uncage or return it to boresight (cage it) after slewing unless the master arm is ARM.

 

Clearly there is one of two things wrong: 1. the Maverick should not be uncageable in any way when the master arm is SAFE, or 2. which I would bet on, you should be able to use Cage/Uncage with the master arm set to SAFE.

 

Track attached. Thanks!

Yep, never noticed that before. Doesn't seem logical, but it may be realistic. Hopefully BN will have a look.
