[RESOLVED] Incorrect TPOD laser ARMED functionality

[Fri13]

The real manual is for v2 Litening but likely it would apply for v4 as well.

 

Page 1-409

1.18.4.15.1 Laser Safety.

 

The Targeting pod should automatically turn to SAFE mode, or disallow ARMED status when any of the statuses are true:

 

• Weight-On-Wheels sensor
• Landing gear is down
• Mission Computer (MC) dictates aircraft is not flying
• Target is not designated
• IAS < 100 knots
• Master Arm = SAFE
• TPOD NAV or A-A mode is active
• TPOD video is off from either MFCD over 15 seconds

 

At this moment the TPOD laser can be armed:

- When on the ground (and MC knows aircraft is not flying, duh)

- When indicated airspeed is < 100 knots

- Master Arm is not ARM

- Landing gear is lowered/down

 

When those things happens, the TPOD laser should switch to SAFE mode, and disallow to arm it by pushing the OSB.

The TPOD has many other errors regarding the laser firing, the target altitude generation (magical like DMT/INS in Harrier), no mask warning, contrast lock errors, missing laser image scan (LTIP) etc.

Do you know that since last update laser can be armed also if those requirements are not met?

Will this be fixed with next update?
