F/A -18 manual error, page 194, GMTT target designation instructions.

[esb77]

On page 194 of the manual, English language version:

"Moving the TDC over the target brick and pressing the SCS in the direction of the MPCD will command acquisition of the target. Releasing the SCS will command track. The radar mode will change to Ground Moving Target Track (GMTT) and additional target information will be displayed: "

This is incorrect.   

 

To select GMTT one must move the TDC over the target brick and press the SCS in "out of cockpit" direction.   Left if on the left DDI, right if on the right DDI, and down/aft if on the MPCD.
