F 16D Handbook

Introduction Michael Hägele. This gentleman’s work is something many of you have had experience of in the form of the HUD coded for the the IRIS Pro Series F-14 Tomcat. It is from a simple successful collaboration between ourselves and Michael on that project that has led us to this point. The IRIS Pro Series F-16D F- 16D Fighting Falcon, designed by Michael’s own Triple Six Design Studio has been a labour of love for Michael over the last two years. His attention to detail as well as his superb coding knowledge really makes this new product shine. Michael has put together all the visual aspects, flight characteristics and systems for this fantastic product by himself, with the team at IRIS simply adding the necessary final touches. Michael’s attention to detail and knowledge of coding has really pushed a number of Flight Simulator boundaries, allowing us to provide functions to an F16 simulation which previously have not been done, such as a working EPU system, true Fly-By-Wire system and for the first time in Flight Simulator history, a working Continuously Computed Impact Point (CCIP) system for accurate dropping of ordnance within Flight Simulator. All these improvements have not come at a cost to system resources either! The aircraft visual model and systems have just a fraction of the system impact as other comparable products, allowing this F-16D to be enjoyed on a greater variety of user systems, something that was a fundamental key component in the design philosophy. It is with great pride that we add this product to our catalogue and provide it the ‘Pro Series’ branding, synonymous with superb quality from IRIS Flight Simulation Software. I would like to thank Michael for his choosing us as distributor of this fine product and hope that this is the beginning of a long and successful relationship. Good luck in your future endeavours Michael.. :) David Brice Founder & Product Manager IRIS Flight Simulation Software

QUICK-START & CLICK PHILOSOPHY QUICKSTART INSTRUCTIONS We all realize that so many armchair joystick jockeys (that‟s you!) may not have time or necessarily the patience to go through an exhaustive 15 minute startup procedure procedure every every time you want want a flight… with with that in mind, Michael Michael has incorporated a „Quick„Quick - start‟ start‟ switch to the aircraft. aircraft. The switch which is located just rear of the pilot and back-seater control sticks on the right side of the console allows you the option to either quick-start or shutdown the aircraft‟s aircraft‟s systems systems in an instant. Below is a simplified checklist for quick-start and shutdown. 1. Flip the quick-start guard open. 2. Click the quickstart start switch to the „QUICKSTART‟ „QUICKSTART‟ position. This will power up all systems and align the INS. 3. Flip the quick-start guard back into place. 4. Click the „JFS „JFS START 2‟ switch and wait for the engine engine to spool up and and start. Note; if you’ve clicked the throttle to move it into its cutoff position, be sure to click it again at about 20% RPM to engage fuel flow to the engine. A quick shutdown is even simpler, simpler, simply open the shutdown shutdown guard guard and flip the switch to the shutdown position, and the aircraft will be powered down and the engine stopped ready for the pilot to leave. The F-16D F-16D ‘Click Philosophy’ In general, a LEFT mouse-click (LC (LC ) places a switch AWAY from the pilot pilot and a rotary selector selector COUNTER CLOCKWIS CLOCKWISE. E. A RIGHT mouse-click mouse-click (RC (RC ) places a switch TOWARDS TOWARDS the pilot pilot and a rotary selector CLOCKWISE. CLOCKWISE.

Ground attack! As pioneered in our PC-9 software, software, we have have also included the the option to drop Mk-82 Paveway Paveway II Laser Guided Guided Bombs from from the F-16D in this package. package. We recommend you follow the instructions contained in this document to set up your own customized ground attack situation in Flight Simulator X. 1.

Create a situation in FSX with your favorite IRIS F-16D CAS model at the airfield of your choice.

2.

Save the situation situation as a name name of your choice. (i.e. (i.e. F-16 Bombing Test) Close Flight Simulator X and navigate to your; ‘My Documents/Flight Simulator Simulator X Files’ Files’ folder. folder.

3.

In that folder you should see a file with the name of your saved situation followed by by an .flt suffix. As I named my my situation „F-16 „F-16 Bombing Test‟ my saved file I‟d look for is „F„F-16 Bombing Test.flt‟

5.

Open the required required .flt file in notepad. notepad.

6.

Scroll to the very bottom of the notepad document and copy the following text in; [DroppableObjects.0] ObjectSet.0=GBU-12 Paveway, 8

7.

The number at the end of „GBU„GBU -12 Paveway‟ corresponds to the amount of bombs carried. For accuracy, I‟ve gone with eight, eight, however you can adjust the number to suit your needs.

8.

Once you‟ve pasted the text into your document, save the file fil e and reload the situation situation in Flight Simulator Simulator X.

You should now find you‟re sitting at the airfield of your choice in the F-16D F -16D you chose with an onscreen indication that you‟re carrying Paveway bombs. To drop the bombs, you need to assign a joystick switch or keyboard command to the „release droppable objects‟ command in Flight Simulator X. Please note that the CAS model is the ONLY model with visibly disappearing bombs. Whilst you can can add bombs to any any saved file, only only the CAS model model will have the bombs disappear from the rack as you drop them. A pre- saved saved situation situation file is located in your „Microsoft „Microsoft Flight Simulator X/IRIS Pro Series/F-16D Series/F16D Fighting Falcon/Saved Falcon/Saved Flights/‟ Flights/‟ folder. Simply copy the contents contents into your appropriate „My Documents‟ folder and you should be able to load the Eglin Strike Training Sortie, all armed up!

Sec.3 INSTRUMENTS IN DETAIL The following section outlines the standard instruments used used in the operation of the F-16. Most instruments can be found in both the front and rear cockpit. The flight instruments are located on the center instrument panel. The engine instruments are located on the engine panel, to the right side of the main panel.

Air-Speed Indicator (ASI) The ASI shows indicated airspeed (IAS), mach number, maximum allowed airspeed (VNE) and an adjustable speed bug. IAS is read at the outer tip of the needle, against a fixed scale (80 – 850 850 knots) . Mach is read at the inner needle tip against a moving (inner) scale (0.2 -2.45 MACH). A SET KNOB (lower right-hand corner) is used to set the speed-bug speed-bug to the desired value. Altimeter The Altimeter has two modes, pneumatic and electric. In pneumatic mode (PNEU) the altimeter is a conventional pressure altitude indicator (backup). In electric mode (ELECT) the altimeter is driven by the CADC (Central Air Data Computer). The mode selector (lower right-hand corner) toggles the modes. A SET KNOB (lower left-hand corner) is used to set set the altimeter setting (QNH). Angle Of Attack (AOA) Indicator The AOA Indicator indicates the actual AOA on a vertical moving tape (-5 - +33 degrees), color-coded for the optimum approach AOA. The colors match the AOA indexer colors. Vertical Velocity Indicator (VVI) The VVI shows pneumatically measured vertical speed in thousands of feet per minute (-6000 - +6000).

OBS 19 and 19 and 20 20 decrease/increase decrease/increase the displayed range. Range rings are available for orientation (white), while the aircraft's 12 o'clock position is marked by a gray tic on the range rings. A magenta diamond marks the present track of the aircraft aircraft on the second range ring. Three white tics and a triangle show the cardinal cardi nal headings (S, E, W) and north (triangle) on the inner range ring. OBS 1 switches 1 switches between centered (CEN) and depressed (DEP) display modes. Shown in the picture is the depressed mode. In centered mode the own-ship symbol (aircraft position) is in the center of the MFD. OBS 2 selects 2 selects coupled (CPL) or decoupled (DCPL) mode. In coupled mode the FCR range is also used for the HSD and can be altered on either the FCR or the HSD page. The airspace searched by the FCR is shown on the HSD in cyan, extending form the own-ship symbol. If Data Link (DL) is selected on the AVIONICS POWER panel, aft right console, traffic positions will be indicated on the HSD. Note that this feature does not require the FCR to be active.

Sec.4 Mfd IN DETAIL Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) Page (cont.) The Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) provides the pilot with a plan view, including tactical and navigational data.

Certain map data is displayed: di splayed: If a flight plan is loaded or a direct-to i s entered, this is shown by a white line. Airports with paved runways are are displayed with their identifies (ID's not available in largest range setting, airport elevation added in lowest range range setting) in red. The bulls-eye indication (also available on the HUD) shows shows distance and bearing FROM a reference point (called bulls-eye) in cyan color. In the circle the distance can be read, while the bearing from bulls-eye to the aircraft's position is shown above. A small tic indicates relative bearing from the aircraft. The reference point point can either be the tuned TACAN (VOR) station or the GPS to-waypoint. Please see Sec.5 see Sec.5 ICP in Detail for Detail for more information on how to set the bulls-eye reference. hi ghlighted when the option is selected. OBS 6 toggles the navigation needles option, NAV is highlighted With the needles displayed the pilot can choose choose from 4 different needle sets: OFF - only the course (HSI CRS) and course course deviation needles are displayed TAC - displays the CRS needles and the TACAN (VOR) needle, labeled “T” NAV - displays the CRS needles and the NAV (GPS) needle, labeled “N” ALL - displays both NAV and TACAN needles, as well as the course (CRS) and course deviation needles.

The airports map display is suppressed with the NAV needle option selected.

Sec.4 Mfd IN DETAIL Fire Control Radar (FCR) Page The (FSX) AN/APG-68 Fire Control Radar offers two air-to-air and one ai r-to-ground mode: Combined Radar Mode (CRM), with Range While Search (RWS) and Track While Scan (TWS) sub-mode, for the air-to-air role and Ground Map (GM), (GM), normal and de-cluttered. OBS 1 toggles between Combined Radar Mode (CRM) and Ground Map (GM) mode. In CRM OBS 2 selects Range While Search (RWS) or Track While Scan (TWS) sub-modes, RWS is default. The avionics master mode buttons on the ICP call up the respective FCR modes automatically. The radar cursor is fixed in the middle of the display serves only as a reference for the horizon line. The horizon is shown for situational awareness while flying head-down.

The radar display itself is a birds-eye view (top down), with the aircraft in the middle of the lower edge of the screen. To eliminate all FCR transmissions quickly, press the override (OVRD) button (OBS 4). NO RAD is displayed in the HUD (top), OVRD OVRD is is highlighted and the antenna position indicators do not move as long as the FCR is in the override mode. No targets or ground returns are displayed as long as the FCR is in override m ode. CRM Range While Search (RWS) sub-mode offers target symbols with target history (faded) and is capable of detecting aircraft on the ground and airborne. CRM Track While Scan (TWS) sub-mode offers larger target symbol with a velocity vector, short for lower speeds and longer for higher speed. TWS however can only detect airborne targets.

Sec.4 Mfd IN DETAIL Fire Control Radar (FCR) Page (cont.) The Ground Map (GM) radar mode is de-cluttered de-cl uttered be default. OBS 8 toggles the de-clutter function on and off. De-cluttered, only landable surfaces are shown and terrain radar returns are suppressed. In normal mode terrain is displayed as well, lighter gray for higher, and darker for lower elevation. Water is shown dark.

NOT SOI stands SOI stands for “NOT Sensor Of Interest” and is displayed displayed when the avionics master mode is A-G, as the HUD is then sensor of interest (SOI, (SOI, CCIP mode). The sensor of interest has no influence on the radar display. Stores Management Management System (SMS) (SMS) Page The stores management system in FSX can only be rudimentary. It is a fixed page, with the exception that the master arm status is displayed in magenta in the upper right corner. If the system is in SIM (simulated weapon weapon mode) “SAFE” will be displayed instead of “SIM” “SIM” to confirm that the weapons are still de-armed. Data Transfer Equipment (DTE) Page The data transfer equipment is used to load various systems data from the Data Transfer Cartridge (DTC) into the airplanes on-board computers. Doing so before each flight is optional in FSX.

Call up the DTE page via the MENU (OBS 11, then OBS 8). Note that on pages that can not be selected via a short-cut button (no highlight on the bottom bottom row), the title of the page can be read below OBS 2. The DTC name, or ID, is shown in the middle of the page. Select the four data groups to start the transfer. Either OBS 6 through 9, or OBS 17 through 20 can be used to do so. Once all groups are selected (highlighted), the data transfer will take a fe w seconds. When complete, DATA TRANSFERED will appear below the DTC-ID. The DTE is reset when the aircraft is airborne.

Sec.4 Mfd IN DETAIL Flight Control System (FLCS) Pages The two FLCS pages are used to monitor and control the aircraft's digital fly-by-wire system (FLCS) together with the controls provided on the FLT CONTROL panel, aft right console. OBS 2 alternates the two pages. The first page (FLCS 1, title, shown below OBS 2) displays the Built-In-Test (BIT) status as well as warning and caution massages in the lower part of the screen (warnings in red, caution and advisory massages massages in amber). On the second page, left side (top to bottom) the present Gross Weight (GW) and all three trim axes can be cross-checked. Abeam OBS 16 can be confirmed whether the FLCS is operating in landing (LDG) or cruise (CRS) gains. The gains change with the landing gear handle. The right side of the FLCS 2 page gives a readout of the total (TAT) and static air temperature (SAT).

Note: OBS 8 has a special function: During testing it became obvious, that some users experienced elevator flutter in certain flight conditions. With the ALT ELEV (alternate elevator control law) selected this does not occur. However the animation of the elevator is then less sophisticated. With this function the user can choose for her-/himself, which elevator animation she/he preferred. Blank Page A blank page showing only the page selection options (lower row) is accessible from the menu and is a way to improve frame-rates frame- rates when either MFD's information is not needed. HUD Replication (Aft Cockpit only) In the aft cockpit there is an option to switch the HUD to the right MFD. Just right of the right MFD is a switch labeled VIDEO SEL, SEL, with the options HUD and MFD.

Sec.5 ICP/DED IN DETAIL Upfront Controls (UFC) Upfront controls are those controls located on the Integrated Control Panel (ICP), used for frequently needed communication-, navigation-, weapons weapons delivery- and other aircraft systems data. The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) and Data Entry Display (DED) form a unit. The DED displays the requested page, while the ICP is used to select the pages and enter new values. Integrated Control Panel (ICP)

Master Mode Buttons Two master mode buttons, labeled “A“A- A” A” (Air-to-Air) and “A“A-G” (Air-to-Ground) are located in the top row on the ICP. Navigation (NAV) is the default master mode. It is the only mode available with the gear lever down. Pressing either master mode buttons selects the appropriate pages on the multi function displays (MFD), (MFD), sets sets up the fire control radar and configures the HUD. Pressing the same master mode button again reverts the systems back to the default navigation (NAV) mode. Override Buttons The override buttons are utilized to call up frequently used, high priority pages on the DED. Pressing one of them replaces the present DED page with the page corresponding to the depressed button. A second press calls up the CNI page. The four override buttons are: COM 1 COM 2 IFF LIST

- UHF radio page (FSX COM 1 radio) - VHF radio radio page (FSX COM 2 radio) - Identification Friend of Foe (including FSX transponder) - A list of additional pages

Sec.5 ICP/DED IN DETAIL Priority Function Buttons Nine priority buttons can be used to call up frequently used in-flight pages while the CNI page is displayed. Once the desired page is shown the priority buttons are used for data entry as a numeric keyboard (1-9). Data Control Switch (DCS) A left click on the DCS activated the return (RTN) function, which which returns the DED to the CNI page. A right click on the DCS activates the sequence (SEQ) function. On the CNI page the wind readout is toggled on/off by the SEQ function. On pages where data can be entered the SEQ function will position the asterisks around the data that needs to be changed. Increment/Decrement Toggle Switch Increment/Decrement Many values that can be entered by the numeric keyboard keyboard can also be changed incrementally by the Increment/Decrement Toggle Switch. Default values are added/ subtracted from the last valid valid data if you left/right click (up/down) on the toggle switch. switch. A Increase/Decrease symbol consisting of two triangles, one pointing up, the other pointing down, is displayed whenever the toggle switch has additional functions on that page. For example selecting the next pre-set UHF channel on the CNI page. Enter (ENTR) Button After new data is keyed-in, the ENTR button must be pressed pressed to accepted it into the avionics system. Recall (RCL) Button Rejects keyed-in data and recalls the last valid data, if pressed prior to the ENTR button. The data entry highlight is then removed. Controls on the ICP that are associated to the HUD For a detailed description of the HUD controls that are located on the ICP see the Head Up Display (HUD) section in this document. They are: - Symbology Brightness Brightness (SYM) Thumb Wheel - Reticle Depression (RET DEPR) Thumb Wheel - Drift Cut-Out (DRIFT C/O) and Warning Reset (WARN RESET) Switch

Sec.5 ICP/DED IN DETAIL Example 1: The CNI page

The picture above shows the CNI page. The following information is displayed: UHF pre-set channel 02 is selected; in the inset top left, frequency 283.00 is selected. Note: Since FSX does not support UHF frequencies the first digit of the VHF frequency is omitted and the decimal placed one digit t o the right. So 283.00 is the VHF frequency 128.30. Frequencies can be entered in 3, 4 or 5 digits and in the VHF format (123.45 type: 1-2-3-4-5ENTR) or the UHF format (234.50 type: 2-3-4-5-ENTR). VHF frequency is 121.50, the international emergency frequency, called “guard“guardfrequency” (GRD). IFF mode 3 code, the transponder code, is 4602. All IFF m odes are enabled (fixed). The GPS “TO“TO-Waypoint” is KDFW, the Dallas-Fort-Worth-JRB Dallas -Fort-Worth-JRB airport. The present wind is from 000 degrees with 0 knots 23:02:45 is the present GMT (Zulu) time and the hack time is 15 seconds. seconds. The VOR frequency set is 115.70 (the FSX VOR is called TACAN)

Sec.5 ICP/DED IN DETAIL Example 2: Selecting UHF channel 8

Every page follows the same principle. If you can alter a value, you have to push the DCS right (right click) to “SEQ” to position the asterisks around that value. Then key-in the new digits and press ENTR to confirm. The CNI page will be displayed, if the new value can be verified there (UHF Freq or CH, VHF Freq, IFF mode 3 code), in all other cases the page remains the same.

CCIP - MISC-9 MISC-9 – – CCIP CCIP INITIALISATION

CCIP stands for Continuously Computed Impact Point. It is a real-time HUD bombing mode. Please see Sec.6 HUD in Detail for more information

Sec.6 HUD IN DETAIL Head-Up Display (HUD) The Head-Up Display (HUD) symbology is superimposed upon the outside world. That means for example that the horizon line is in the same spot on the combiner glass as the outside world horizon and the Flight Path Marker (FPM) can be placed on any place of the outside world and, with no changes, the aircraft will fly through that exact spot. Display Formats The HUD has four basic formats, Navigation (NAV), Air-to-Air (A-A) and Air-to-Ground (A-G) and Landing (NAV sub-mode). sub-mode). The avionics master mode determines the HUD format. All formats display basic navigation and performance data, including airspeed, altitude, heading and attitude. Navigation Format and General Information

The gun cross is the main pitch reference. It is on the aircraft's waterline, in front of the nose. The Flight Path Marker (FPM) is showing the total velocity vector, thus indicating where the aircraft is moving towards. In strong crosswind the FPM might exceed the lateral limits of the HUD's field of view. Use the DRIFT C/O (cut-out) switch on the Integrated Control Panel (ICP) to center the FPM on the HUD. CAUTION: The CCIP will not be wind corrected with the DRIFT C/O switch in the C/O (cut-out) position! The steering diamond is superimposed on the present steer-point (VOR or GPS to-waypoint, depending on the instrument mode) Fly the FPM to the steering cue (tadpole symbol) to go directly to the present steer-point. The tail indicates relative bearing to the steer-point. The 12 o'clock position indicates a 0° relative bearing (point is on the nose), 3 o'clock indicates a 90° relative bearing (right abreast). In the navigation mode the HUD operating mode shows the selected instrument mode. If the horizon line is not in the HUD's field of view a so called “ghost horizon” (dashed line) is shown. It always indicates the direction to the nearest horizon and enhances situational awareness. Also for situational awareness the pitch attitude dive bars (dashed) are angled towards the horizon and zenith and nadir symbols are provided.

Sec.6 HUD IN DETAIL Air-to-Ground Format Format

The air-to-ground mode is CCIP (Continuously Computed Impact Point). Point) . It provides a real-time indication of the impact point of dumb-bombs. On roll-in fly the Bomb Fall Line (BFL) to your target by placing the FPM above the target. On final make only small corrections and keep your dive angle constant. When the pipper reaches the target, pickle you bomb(s). If the pull-up cue reaches the FPM before the pipper is on the target, go-around and set up for a new pass. The picture above shows the optimum release point to hit the fuel tank. Crosswind is compensated by the FPM lateral movement, if the drift cut-out switch on the ICP is in NORM (centered). Head-/tailwind is not automatically corrected. It can only be corrected by adjusting the drag/correction value on the CCIP page on the DED. See Sec.5 See Sec.5 ICP/DED in Detail for further details. In general, the effects of head and tailwind are minor. If, after the first pass, bomb accuracy is unsatisfactory, the drag/correction value can be adjusted as follows: Bombs SHORT Bombs LONG

- INCREASE correction value - DECREASE correction value

Also very steep dive deliveries (steeper than 55 degrees) may require a higher than default correction value. Level deliveries are only practical with high speeds and flown rather low, otherwise the CCIP pipper will be below the HUD field of view. CAUTION: As the CCIP mode (in FSX) relies on radio altimeter data it is essential that the terrain underneath the aircraft is approximately of the SAME elevation as the target. Attacking a target while flying along a downhill slope, e.g. into a valley, will be inaccurate. Fly ALONG the valley instead.

Sec.6 HUD IN DETAIL ILS / Landing Format Non essential information is removed from the HUD with the gear lever down. It is restored on the ground with ground speed below approximately 60 knots. With the LG lever down or the instrument mode selector in either ILS position, the AOA bracket as well as a 3 degree dive di ve bar is added to the HUD.

The picture above shows a final approach on a 3 degree glide path, with optimum AOA/ speed, and a light crosswind from the right (Note: the gun cross is not in the center of the pitch reference bars, they move move laterally with the FPM) FPM). Final approach is flown with reference to Angle of Attack (AOA) rather than airspeed. That eliminates the need for a gross weight correction and is very accurate. The correct final approach AOA is read against the AOA bracket, a squared bracket next to the FPM. With the FPM in the middle of the bracket the AOA is optimal.

Sec.6 HUD IN DETAIL ILS / Landing Format (cont.) Note: The AOA bracket is g force corrected, the AOA indexer is not. You might see different indications while pulling some g's during turns. The speed, altitude and heading scales move with the FPM to further facilitate the perception of the current AOA. With the instrument mode selector (located left of the HSI, center instrument panel) in either ILS/TCN or ILS/NAV position, a two-bar Instrument Landing System (ILS) indication is added to the FPM. The vertical line is the localizer deviation, the horizontal line is the glide-slope deviation. You are on course and glide-path when both bars cross the FPM in the middle. The picture below shows a slightly low, slightly right-of-centerline condition.

The depressible reticle option is a backup, manual weapon delivery cue. Once selected by the DEPR RET switch switch the two circle reticle can be depressed, or lowered, by the RET DEPR thumb-wheel on the ICP. The amount is displayed in milliradians below the aircraft bore-sight (gun cross), on the left side of the HUD, just above the master arm status.

Special Indications and and Warnings The word WARNING is flashing whenever a stall or over-speed condition (either because of trailing edge flaps limitations limitations or a general over-speed) is sensed. CAUTION: The Landing Gear speed limit (300 knots CAS) is NOT monitored. A flashing BRAKE-X is shown when ground impact is imminent and aggressive pilot action is necessary to avoid ground contact. The same warning is also shown in red on the Multi Function Displays (MFD). The word ALTITUDE is flashing for about 8 seconds when descending through the MSL-FLOOR (as set on the ALOW page of the DED). When descending below the CARA ALLOW level (DED ALOW page) the allow level indication (AL XXX, lower right) on the HUD is flashing and the red ALT LOW warning light illuminates, except when the LG is down. Upon reaching bingo fuel (set on the DED LIST->BINGO page) the word FUEL FUEL is is flashing for 15 seconds in the center of the HUD. In the lower left-hand le ft-hand corner a FUEL indication i ndication is i s shown as long as the remaining fuel on board is below bingo and complemented by a three digit figure when the fuel level becomes critical. The three digits indicate the remaining fuel in hundred pounds (“004” indicates 400 lbs).

Sec.7 Flight characteristics Flight Control System (FLCS) The Flight Control System (FLCS) is a four channel fly-by-wire system. It combines pilot stick an rudder inputs as well as aircraft motions to position the flight control surfaces. Artificial stability provided provided by the FLCS allows for relaxed relaxed static stability. That means the aircraft is, under certain center of gravity positions, aerodynamically unstable. It would flip ends if the FLCS didn't constantly balance it out. That brings higher maneuverability and less drag, as the elevator does not have to produce that much down-force. If the pilot pulls back on the stick, the FLCS knows he wants to go up and places the elevator "trailing edge up". Since the aircraft is unstable, it has no aerodynamic desire to stop the nose from moving up, in fact it will even accelerate. So So when the commanded pitch rate is reached the elevator moves back towards towards neutral. A way to check it out is to taxi taxi down the runway fast (100 knots or more), more), look at the elevator and hit the brakes WITHOUT applying forward or aft stick inputs. As the nose drops with deceleration the elevator will deflect trailing edge up for a short while and return to neutral, as the FLCS attempts to counter the un-commanded pitch change. Same thing when the aircraft stops, but this time trailing edge down. FLCS Limiters Maximum AOA (Angle Of Attack) and maximum g-force is limited by the FLCS. However However under certain conditions, in heavy maneuvering the limiters may be defeated. After the maximum AOA is reached, even with full aft stick and in low speed conditions, a stall will not occur. The FLCS rather lowers the nose of the ai rcraft to prevent further speed reduction. Leading Edge Flaps (LEF) The LEF optimize airflow across the wing and move in accordance with airspeed, AOA and gloading. They also provide special functions on takeoff and landing, moving to a 2 degrees up position with main landing gear compression. This reduces aircraft tendency to bounce or lift of prematurely. Trailing Edge Flaps (TEF) The TEF are automatically controlled, except when the ALTN FLAPS switch is in the EXTEND position. With landing gear (LG) UP the TEF are retracted. With LG DOWN the TEF extend in accordance with airspeed. Very little or no pitch trim changes are required as the FLCS counters any negative effects of TEF movement. Speed Brakes The speed brakes can be used over the entire speed range and do not cause any trim changes. With LG extension the speed brakes are limited to 43 degrees (normal: 60 degrees) to prevent ground contact upon landing. After nose landing gear compression the speed brakes are not limited and open to 60 degrees again.

Sec.7 Flight characteristics Normal Flight Characteristics Landing Trim for “on“on- speed” speed” AOA and fly that speed throughout throughout the final approach. The throttle is used primarily to control glide-path, and the stick is used to control airspeed through control of AOA and direction through bank angle. Only very small inputs are are required once established and trimmed. This technique allows for a precise control of the touchdown point and aids in minimizing landing distance. The speed brakes should be open during normal landings to prevent any floating tendencies and to make a higher engine engin e RPM setting possible, that allows for better, more instantaneous, engine response. If pitch trim is used during the turn to final a forward stick input is required upon roll-out in final to counter nose-up motion. Do not fully trim stick forces on base or be ready to re-t rim on final.

Engine Characteristics Operating on primary (PRI) engine control, throttle movements are unrestricted, unless above 20000 feet and below 250 knots indicated airspeed. In this region engine stalls or blow-outs may occur if the afterburner (AB) is selected before the engine has stabilized at military (MIL, full dry) power. Operating on secondary (SEC) engine control throttle movements are unrestricted up to MIL power only. Ensure the engine is stabilized in MIL power before selecting AB, to avoid engine stalls/blow-outs. Operating the engine above the FTIT hard limit limi t (995° C), ENGINE warning light ON, may cause severe engine damage.

Out-of-Control Characteristics Deep Stalls If a very high AOA is reached, despite of the FLCS limiters, a deep stall might occur. Due to the relaxed lateral stability, the aircraft will will not be able to recover to normal AOA by means of of elevator force. A deep stall is recognized by the AOA indicator showing showing 33 degrees (max indication), a glevel around 1.0 and airspeed indications of 150 knots or less. Pitch and roll oscillations may be experienced. Deep Stall Recoveries As the elevator can not produce enough nose down force force to recover from a deep stall maximum left or right roll input should be applied. If the airspeed is high enough to produce a sufficient roll rate the AOA should return to normal normal values as soon a the aircraft is inverted. Delay the subsequent dive recovery until airspeed is well above 200 knots, altitude permitting. If descending through 7000 feet AGL in a deep stall, EJECT.

Sec.9 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS Introduction This section covers the operation of the aircraft during emergency/abnormal conditions. It includes indications of a problem as well as corrective actions. There are three basic rules that apply to all abnormal and emergency conditions: 1. FLY THE AIRCRAFT Aviate, Navigate, Communicate! Keep the aircraft under control. Do not hit the ground or other aircraft. Only if the flight-path is stabilized: 2. ANALYZE THE SITUATION AND TAKE PROPER ACTIONS ACTIONS Use the warning/caution light analysis if practical and/or take corrective action. 3. LAND AS THE SITUATION DICTATES Heavy emergencies require a LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE , at the nearest suitable airfield. Less urgent abnormal situations require a LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL. PRACTICAL . The flight has to be terminated, but a landing at the nearest airfield may not be necessary and a return to homebase may be possible. WARNING LIGHT ANALYSIS The warning lights are located on the left and right edge of the glare-shield, glare -shield, illuminating in red. WARNING LIGHT

CAUSE Engine compartment fire

CORRECTIVE ACTION / REMARK If not at, climb to minimum safe ejection altitude (2000 feet AGL). Then retard throttle as far as practicable. If warning light stays on: EJECT. If warning light goes off: LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Consider flying a flame-out pattern.

RPM is below idle value If engine flamed-out (fuel flow zero), attempt a in-flight restart by retarding the throttle to idle or and selecting JFS START 2. If unsuccessful: refer to FLAME-OUT LANDING. FTIT is above 995° C hard limit

If engine over-temperature (FTIT < 995°), retard the throttle below FTIT limit.

Low pressure in one or both hydraulic systems

Check pressure indicators to determine system and condition. If engine oil pressure below 15 psi minimize minimi ze or throttle movement and prepare for engine failure. Consider flying a flame-out pattern. Low engine oil pressure If hydraulic pressure below 1000 psi, limit flight control movement to minimum. If HYD-A system effected: Use ALTN GEAR handle to lower the landing gear, speed-brakes are inoperable. If airplane control becomes sluggish: EJECT. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Sec.9 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WARNING LIGHT ANALYSIS (cont.) WARNING LIGHT

CAUSE Aircraft configuration wrong for takeoff or landing-

CORRECTIVE ACTION / REMARK In flight: If below 10000 ft, slower than 190 knots and vertical speed at least 250 FPM descend: LG/TEF NOT DOWN INCREASE AIRSPEED, DECREASE SINK-RATE OR LOWER LANDING GEAR If LG is selected down: refer to the LG panel, to check down-lock indicators. If LG down-locked: TEF not extended, USE ALTN FLAPS If unsuccessful: INCREASED LANDING DISTANCE If LG NOT down-locked: Attempt a LG recycle. I unsuccessful: USE ALTN GEAR HANDLE If still unsuccessful: PARTIAL or ALL LG FAILURE, LAND WITH EXTREME CAUTION On ground: TEF not fully down. Taxi with 5 knots or more for at least 5 least 5 seconds and then verify TEF down. If unsuccessful: ABORT the aircraft.

Canopy not closed and locked

Verify the canopy lock is in the LOCK (DOWN) position. In flight: LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL, REDUCE SPEED BELOW 250 KNOTS On ground: Recycle the canopy with the canopy lock lever. If unsuccessful: ABORT the aircraft.

ATTENTION GETTER

Whenever a caution light illuminates, the master caution lights up as well, to direct the pilots attention to the caution light panel. The master caution should be reset by pressing it, so the next caution is recognized as well.

Sec.9 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FLAME-OUT LANDING PATTERN (Typical, Overhead Approach) Notes: 1.

Maximum range (LG up) is achieved at 7 degrees AOA for any gross weight (GW) and drag index (DI) (airspeed 200 knots approximately, for a clean a/c). Glide ratio is approximately 7 NM per 5000 feet AGL. With stores glide ration decreases.

2.

Optimum bank angles are 50 degrees (LG up) and 55 degrees (LG down) for least least altitude lost per degree of turn.

3.

Use the HUD FPM on final. Aim for the approach end of the runway before initiating the flare with 190 knots optimum. Flare will reduce speed signifi cantly. Touchdown with optimum AOA (indexer: green donut).

4.

Use speed brakes as necessary during during flame-out patterns.

WARNING: Do not allow the airspeed to drop below MINIMUM AIRSPEED (170 knots). 



EJECT if it becomes obvious that a safe landing can not be made. Ejection can be accomplished at any point in the pattern; however, do not delay ejection below 2000 feet AGL in an attempt to salvage a questionable approach.

Simulated Flame-Out Flame-Out Approach (SFO Approach) A Simulated Flame-Out (SFO) approach can and should should be flown from time to time for pilots proficiency. Throttle AT IDLE will provide a adequate thrust level (cl ose to zero). Check normal engine operations on base.
