What is 4808?

[Yo-Yo]

Hush! Top secret... It's a code to get all planes flyable with AFM. After some math is applied to these digits.

Mmm... I hope I get a new KA-50 bird that was not written... In the HUD... By a bored pilot who did not remember the laser code for that mission!!! Anyway I will put some soap and water close by... Just in case. LOL I hope that was written with a pencil instead of being scribed! XD

 

Very funny thread, best regards.

OOHH I Know!

 

It is simply a serial number written with an electric pen. That type of serial numbering is common Russian firearms, especially replacement parts- my ckc45 has it and i've seen it on others.

 

Its the serial # of the aircraft or the part, I don't know.

If the KA-50 maintainers are like ours, it could be the HUD serial number. To avoid the need to removed the part to verify the serial number, you write it some where accessible. Specially on a test aircraft which, IIRC, the DCS model is based on.

Transponder code? Flight Number/callsign? When you fly a lot in different aircraft on different days it is easy to forget the flight number/callsign and pilots often put this number scribbled down somewhere and placed in a prominent position. (Still forget even then!)
