Introduction
Mirage 2000C Facts Sheet

General Information
French multirole, single-engine It was designed in the late 1970s as a lightweight
fighter for the French Air Force (Arme de l'Air). Later evolved into a multirole aircraft
with several variants developed, with sales to a number of nations. The variants include
the Mirage 2000N and 2000D strike variants, the improved Mirage 2000-5 and several
export variants. Over 600 aircraft were built and it has been in service with nine nations.
The first Mirage 2000 to go into service was the single-seat Mirage 2000C interceptor, C
stands for Chasseur (Fighter) variant. There were four single-seat prototypes, including
the initial Mirage 2000 prototype. The first production Mirage 2000C flew in November
1982. Deliveries began in 1983. The first operational squadron was formed in 1984, the
50th anniversary of the French Air Force. A total of 124 Mirage-2000Cs were obtained
by the Arme de l'Air.
The first 37 Mirage 2000Cs delivered were fitted with the Thomson-CSF RDM (Radar
Doppler Multifunction) and were powered by the SNECMA M53-5 turbofan engine. The
38th Mirage 2000C had an upgraded SNECMA M53-5 P2 turbofan engine. The Radar
Doppler Impulse (RDI) built by Thales for the Mirage 2000C entered service in 1987. It
has a much improved range of about 150 km, and is linked to Matra Super 530D
missiles, which are much improved compared to the older Super 530F. Lookdown/shoot-down capabilities are much improved as well, but this radar is not usually
used for air-to-surface roles. (Note that "look-down/shoot-down" often refers to being
able to track and target another flying object at a lower altitude, rather than targeting an
object on the surface itself.)
Upgrades includes the addition of the Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (NCTR)
mode to the RDI Radar to allow identification of airborne targets not responding on IFF,
integration for the Matra MICA IR heat-seeking missile, and the ability to carry air-toground stores such as Matra 68 mm rocket pods (18 each), Mk 80 series or French 250,
400, and 1000 kg iron bombs, and cluster bombs such as the Belouga or non-French
models. Some variants, especially those equipped with the RDM radar (mainly used in
export models) have the capability to use the Exocet anti-ship missile. Also, Indian
Mirage 2000s have been integrated to carry the Russian R-73AE Archer missile and the
indigenous Indian built Astra missile.

Chapter 2
Starting the Simulator

After a successful installation, it's time to start the simulator for the first time. You will
encounter a warning verifying the publisher. This is a very important step.
Basically this is due to the simulator's architecture in Windows designed by Mircosoft to

regulate and warn that it needs your permission to run this software since the publisher
cannot be verified. Software companies will have to obtain a digital signature (or digital
ID) from Verisign which regulates these licenses. This can usually cost into the
thousands and is basically a yearly subscription that needs to be renewed.
You must to click "RUN" so the module will load. Then there will be one last prompt.
You can to click "YES" to stop showing this warning every time.
Once that is finished, Flight Simulator will finish loading, from there we will move into
assigning Keyboard/Joystick Mapping events and Loading the M2K-C.

SNECMA M53 Engine Information

The Mirage2000C uses SNECMA M53, afterburning turbofan engine. The M53 is single shaft
driving both the turbofan and compressor. The M53 is relatively older in design in comparison to
the newer engine design of the same generation, it retains very desirable traits for military use.
This can cut maintenance and cost for service and reliability.
The Single spool design of the turbofan engine has it's draw backs. When one compressor
section stalls on a single-spool fan, it directly effects the entire spool. With the two-spool engine, if
the one compressor stalls, the remaining compressor and turbine continue to function independently,
maintaining partial thrust, making it easier to get the stalled compressor working again, without
having to rely on "wind milling" for engine to start.
The M53 is the only known single-spool turbofan extant as of 2013, while SNECMA transitioned
to a more convention two-spool design such as the M88.

Chapter 5
Fuel System
Every aircraft needs a place to store the fuel needed for the flight. To get the fuel to the
engine under all circumstances and flight conditions the system is equipped with
multiple pumps, filters and valves.
The Mirage 2000C Fuel system consist of 7 internal fuel tanks. The internal fuel tanks in
the wings and fuselage have a capacity for 3,978 liters of fuel. The aircraft can carry an
additional fuel load using external fuel tanks to bring the total fuel capacity up to 9,000
liters.
The aircraft has aerial refueling capability using a detachable probe on the starboard
side just in front of the cockpit. During aerial refueling the Mirage 2000C has a slower
transfer refueling rate at 600kg/mn, this is due to the drogue refueling which has lower
pressure then a boom probe and doesn't need the aid of a Boom Operator.
Mirage's M53 engine, is fuel-efficient with a specific fuel consumption at 1.92 kg/kg.h
(M53-P2: 2.0kg/kg.h) with afterburning and 0.75 kg/kg.h (M53-P2: 0.9 kg/kg.h) at
maximum power setting.
In this section we will go into the Mirage 2000C fuel system. Including the internal and
external capacities, along with the pilot controls and aerial refueling setup in the Tac

Autopilot
The Mirage 2000C autopilot system is used to control the trajectory without constant
'hands-on' control by pilot. The autopilot assists them in controlling the vehicle, allowing
them to focus on other aspects of operation, such as weapons delivery, weather and
systems. The Mirage 2000C autopilot has evolved significantly over time, from early
autopilots that merely held an attitude to the Mirage capable of performing automated
landings with a break off at 200ft AGL. The Mirage 2000C Autopilot unit is located on
the upper left main panel just under the glare shield along with controls located on the
flight stick and course selection with the Navigation Indicator .

Fly By Wire
The Mirage 2000C Fly By Wire system is used to control the instability design of the
airframe's flight characteristics. The flight surfaces on the wings are composed of four
elevons and four leading edge slats. Its neutral point is in front of its center of gravity,
giving the fighter relaxed stability to enhance maneuverability. It incorporated negative
stability and fly-by-wire controls with four analog computers, designed in the mid to late
1970s.
There is a few Fly By Wire (FBW) systems included in Metal2Mesh Mirage. But this is
not a true FBW system that uses an external flight model and we are limited at this time
to develop such a system. Here are some components associated with the FBW
system.

Navigation Systems
The Mirage 2000C uses the Sagem ULISS 52 (INS) system as its main navigational
equipment. It consists of 3 major pilot interface components. These components are the
Navigation Indicator, PCN/INS unit, and PSM/MIP unit. The Mirage 2000C also uses
TACAN, VOR and ILS, for other navigational aids.
Chapter 7
The Navigation Indicator has various modes and is used to steer the aircraft to proper
heading via the course needle, or autopilot. The Navigation indicator also has built in
DME (Distance Measuring Equipment), and Compass heading rose and will work with
VOR, ILS and TACAN (VOR does not have DME ability). The Navigation indicator is
also connected to the PCN/INS and has multiple mode functions.
1.) Autopilot Heading Indicator

4.) Autopilot Course Selector
2.) DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) 5.) Compass Rose
3.) Direction Indicator Needles

PCN/INS Unit
The PCN/INS Unit is used to plot a course with latitude and longitude coordinates and
maintain it's known position throughout the flight . These coordinates must be entered
via the numeric key pad in a specific order. The PCN/INS must also go through an
alignment procedure to ensure the aircraft is properly positioned during the navigation.
The PCN/INS unit works in conjunction with the Navigation Indicator. The large needle
will provide steering cues to the next waypoint while the DME will display remaining
distance to waypoint.

Aligning the PCN/INS

Aligning the PCN/INS is import to ensure proper navigation and course plotting. The
alignment process takes up to 8 minutes, and the aircraft must not move during the
procedure.
1.) Turn on the PSM/MIP mode selector to ALN while the operation selector is in [N]
setting. You will notice the indicator ALN light will begin to blinking.
2.) Make sure the PCN/INS function button PREP is pressed and lit.
3.) Press the INS keypad button, it will start blinking.
4.) Change the parameter selector to L/G to enter Lat and Lon coordinates. To do this
you will need to first select the N(2) or S(8) on the keypad, to program north or south.
You will see it displayed in the LCD display then you can enter your latitude position.
The latitude position consist of 6 digits, 2 for each set of degrees, minutes, and
seconds, each section will need to be entered reversed.
Example: If you have the coordinates of N41.34.58, you will enter it as 2 for North, then
85 for 58 seconds, 43 for 34 minutes, finally 14 for 41 degrees.
In the same entry you will add the longitude coordinates as the latitude. On the keypad
press E(4) or W(6) depending on location. It will be displayed on the right LCD display
pane then you can continue to enter in your longitude position. Except it will have 7
digits instead of 6 due to its range up to 180 degrees. Like the latitude position you will
have to do each section in a reversed format.
Example: E004.43.24 you press 4 for East, then 42 for 24 seconds, 34 for 43 minutes
and 400 for 004 degrees.
5.) Once you entered the Lat and Lon you will need to insert/enter by pressing INS
button on the keypad to lock it in.
6.) Change the parameter selector to ALT to enter the altitude.
7.) Press the INS button on the keypad and it will start blinking. Now it will allow you to
enter the altitude information like the coordinates, again the altitude must be entered
reversed.
Example: with an altitude of 319 feet, you will type on the keypad as 913 then followed
by 0s until it fills the rest of the 6 spaces and repeats to the right side with the other 7 on
the left LCD display. You will have a display that reads as this 000319 0000000.
63
8.) Once you entered the Altitude you will need to insert/enter by pressing INS button on
the keypad to lock it in.
9.) After you locked in the Altitude by pressing the INS on the keypad, you will see the
function button VAL light up and press that to validate the location and begin the
alignment process.
10.) To check and monitor that the alignment is working, you can turn the PSM/MIP
operation selector to STS and then will notice the countdown of the left integer and
increasing the right value to 100. The alignment will take up to 8 minutes to perform and
you should have a read out of "02.00.00 100" and the now the flashing ALN indicator
light will turn off and the PRET indicator light will come on, your alignment is complete.
11.) Once you completed the alignment on the PSM/MIP you can turn your operation
selector from STS back to [N] and the mode selector from ALN to NAV to begin the
waypoint loading the MIP (FSX Flight Planner) or manually enter in your waypoints via
the L/G parameter selection and the keypad on the PCN/INS unit.

Chapter 7
Using the Flight Plan

Once the INS has been aligned and the flight plan entered, the Navigation Indicator will
start providing navigation cues to the next waypoint. The waypoints will automatically
cycle to the next one when the remaining distance is less than 2 nautical miles.
To select another waypoint instead of the current one, just click the waypoint number in
the keypad followed by clicking in the INS in the keypad on the PCN/INS. The waypoint
will change if there is data stored in the selected one. Valid waypoint indexes are 1 to
10.
**IMPORTANT**
When loading a Flight Plan, turn the PSM/MIP mode to VEI (Standby) and
back to NAV to ensure the flight plan is loaded correctly.
When inputting Lon Lat Coordinates, you must convert the FSX
Minutes.Decimal to Minutes.Seconds format. If you try to input the wrong
format the INS will not accept it and it will not store.
Formula to figure out the correct Seconds:
Coordinates such as this: N4123.82 E00445.23 Well that will never work,
and the INS will not accept them. Notice the ".82" in the Latitude, well there
is only 60 seconds in a minute. This can cause a problem. Even ".23" of the
Longitude is incorrect.
To get the seconds use the decimal part, in the example 0.82 and mutiply
by 60.
Example: 0.82 * 60 = 49.2 round off the 49.2 to 49.
So the actual and true Coordinates are N4123'49" E00445'18"

VOR
VOR (VHF Omni Directional Radio Range) is a type of short-range radio navigation
system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a receiving unit to determine their position by
receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons.
It uses frequencies in the very high frequency (VHF) band from 108 to 117.95 MHz.
Developed for Commercial and General Aviation. The Mirage 2000C does not rely on
the VOR as its primary source for navigation. DME is not displayed with the VOR.
ILS
ILS (Instrument Landing System) is a radio beam transmitter that provides a direction
and glide scope for approaching aircraft that tune their receiver to the ILS frequency.
68
It's a ground-based instrument approach system that provides guidance to an aircraft

approaching a runway to land, using a combination of radio signals and visual display in
Main ADI and the HUD by pressing APP in the Weapons Command Manager
(PCA) .
TACAN
TACAN also known as tactical air navigation system. TACAN is a navigation system
used by military aircraft. It provides the user with bearing and distance (slant-range) to a
ground, ship-borne, or aerial refueling station. This is the main control of the entire
TACAN, from delegating the unit's power and navigation modes.

VTH/HUD Modes
Navigation Modes
When operating the Mirage 200C, There is a some basic modes that combine to make up the
Navigation Mode. These modes are for Take Off, ILS, and INS Route. The Mirage 2000C
VTH/HUD will not be the primary navigation information source to use during navigational
operation. The HUD will display some cues to make sure your attention is set outside of the
aircraft while occasionally looking down at the Flight Instruments.
INS

INS - Inertial Navigation System

When a Flight Plan is loaded or manually programmed, during the NAV Mode Displays cues to
direct you to specific waypoints.
ILS - Instrument Landing System

The Mirage is equipped with an ILS to help direct the aircraft to the proper Localizer and
Glideslope. The HUD does not display the normal HUD Symbology, you will need to use the
Main ADI for this information, The HUD will display a Localizer, 3 Marker, and Glideslope Box.

Chapter 8
VTH/HUD Modes
Air to Air Modes
When operating in air superiority or interception operations, the Air to Air modes use unique
display modes on the HUD, to each specific weapon. They do not follow a general display mode
like the Air to Surface Modes discussed later in the Chapter. The modes covered under the Air
to Air section consist of the Cannon, IR and SAHR Missile weapons.
1.) KL1 (Cannon/Gun DEFA 554)

This mode is the default of the VTH/HUD when weapons are armed in the PCA/PPA.
Depending on if a target is locked using radar track data by Gun Director Sight (GDS) or you
are using the visual reference known as Lead Computing Optical Sight (LCOS) these modes
vary.
LCOS
GDS Not in Range
GDS In Range
GDS Closing
LCOS - Lead Computing Optical Sight

This is not an accurate targeting mode of the Cannon/Gun while using a general visual
reference to depict where the rounds will hit.
GDS - Gun Director Sight
This is far more accurate targeting mode used by the Cannon Gun. It relies on the Radar track
data to calculate the where the rounds will hit and depicts range calculations displayed by the
reticle.
The target must be within 2.5 Nautical miles for the GDS to
Not in Range GDS In Range GDS Closing -
calculate.
The target is not close enough for the GDS to calculate
round impact.
The target is closer, displayed by the reducing arch as it
gets closer.
79
2.) MAG (Magic 550II IR Missile)

This mode controls the Magic 550II Infrared Missile selection/target by pressing MAG in the
Weapons Command Manager (PCA) and (PPA). There are different functions in this mode
which you should be aware of.
Not Ready
Seek
Locked
No Escape Zone
Not Ready -
The Magic II requires 64 seconds to warm up after Take Off.

When selecting the MAG in the PCA/PPA the button will
only display an "S" for selected, while the Magic is warming
up the HUD will Flash G D until ready. For more operation
options please refer to PCA/PPA.
Seek -
After the Magic is warmed up, the Seeker and a single

Missile Ring will display. Depending on the PCA/PPA mode,
if RDO is selected (Cages Magic Seeker) or the Magic is
self seeking, a circle displayed for the seeker lock, while a
box for Radar lock.
Locked -
When both Magic and Radar are locked on the target

depending on range, the Box will change to a Triangle, the
single Missile Ring will the same.
No Escape Zone -
When the target is in Magic's range, the single Missile Ring

will change to a double Missile Ring and indicating "TIR" to
inform the target is in the "No Escape Zone" and a kill is
imminent.
80
3.) 530 (Super 530D SAHR Missile)

This mode controls the Super 530D Semi Active Radar Homing Missile selection/target by
pressing 530 in the Weapons Command Manager (PCA) and (PPA).
Not Ready
Seek
Locked
Not Ready -
The Super530 requires 75 seconds to warm up

after Take Off. When selecting the 530 in the
PCA/PPA the button will only display an "S" for
selected, while the S530 is warming up the HUD
will Flash G D until ready. For more operation
options please refer to PCA/PPA.
Seek -
After the S530 is warmed up, the Seeker and a

single Missile Ring will display. Depending on the
PCA/PPA mode, if RDO is selected (Cages
S530 Seeker) When in range the Seeker will lock
to the Radar's target.
Locked -
When both S530 and Radar are locked on the

target depending on range, the dot will follow the
Target cue. Once you fire the S530 keep the
aircraft pointed at the target. The s530 is a
SAHR(Semi Active Radar Homing Missile).
81
Air to Surface Modes

Consist of a few types such as Cannon/Gun, Bombs, Rocket Pods, and AS Missiles (export
versions) Some of the modes such as the Cannon/Gun and Rocket Pod are unique, while the
other various Air to Surface weapons use the same modes, only the configurations are different,
depending on the modes selected. These sub-modes are CCIP and CCRP, and are displayed in
the VTH/HUD covered below.
1.) CCIP
This mode controls the release of the Air to Surface weapons. There are multiple weapons that
can drop with this mode. In the Weapons Command Manager (PCA) and (PPA) you can select
the specific bombs to be released. Constantly Computed Impact Point (CCIP) is a calculation
provided by a weapon's sighting system. It is a predicted point of impact found from the launch
platform's movement, the target's movement, gravity, projectile launch velocity, projectile drag,
and other factors that can be entered. This mode is also used for GBU release when
Designated by Laser Designator (Buddy Lasing).
CCIP Release
CCIP Break
Depending on the weapon, BLI - BFI - EL1 displayed in the Weapons Command
Manager (PCA) and (PPA) by simply pressing the desired weapon station, will by default, bring
up the CCIP mode in the VTH/HUD. From there depending on altitude, speed, and pitch angle
the computer will determine the impact point displayed on the VTH/HUD.
There are a few safety limits on which the release is not allowed. The first one is a PULL UP
cue that calculates the blast limits of the impact with aircraft position. The second is if the
aircraft banks more than 20 the VTH/HUD will flash X to break off the attack.
You can also specify Release and timing/distance options in the PPA. To release bombs by
pressing the Trigger (MICROB) on your Flight Control Stick.
82
2.) CCRP
This mode is more complicated and requires input from the pilot to configure it's designation and
release point. Continuously Computed Release Point (CCRP) is a technique used for bombs
and goes one step further. When a goal is designated and is flown right over it, CCRP can allow
the pilot to release the weapon during level flight and at higher altitudes.
To Initiate CCRP after selecting the desired Air to Surface weapon such as BLI - BFI EL1 in the PCA. The Mode configuration setting will display the radar configuration PI
by selecting this mode, the CCRP mode displays a special Vector Velocity/Flight Path Marker.
The designation are inputted 2 ways, by entering the geographical coordinates/location using
the PCN/INS or by a TDC (Target Designator Cursor) by pressing CTRL + SHFT + to
move the TDC displayed on the VTH/HUD as well in the VTB/HDD. Depending on which way
you designate ZBI selected allows targeting with the TDC ZBI NOT selected uses
PCN/INS waypoint.
Designation
Steer
Release
Designation -
When selecting the target, after designating you must lock

the target pressing SHFT + C This will now lock the target in
the VTH/HUD or selects the PCN/INS waypoint as the target
to begin displaying the steering cues.
Steer -
After the target is designated and locked. You will notice the
CCRP now displays steering cues extending from Vector
Velocity/Flight Path Marker. Depending on the target range
a drop cue will start to slowly move up displaying when to
release the weapon.
Release -
The Drop cue gets closer upwards under the CCRP Vector
Velocity/Flight Path Marker. When the Drop cue is level with
the Steering cue, this will indicate when you will release the
weapon by pressing the trigger (MICROB) on your flight
control stick.

Radar Modes
The Radar is a complex antenna with azimuth and elevation adjustment. With full
azimuth of 60 degree angle takes approximately 2 seconds to do a full sweep. The
Radar can track up to 8 targets with limited return on closure and bearing.
When a target is out of range or azimuth, the target will change color(Yellow), indicating
it is not tracked. It will be displayed for 8 seconds with last known predicted displayed
course, do not confuse this for a locked target.

Radar Tracking
Display is when the Radar is on and scanning. In this mode you will see targets indicated by a
box and arrow showing approximate direction/bearing.
Radar Priority Selection

Displays the radar's tracking of targets. This mode is TWS (Track While Scan)mode That can
only select one target at a time with limited information available, while it continues to scan the
remaining targets. Press Tab cycles Targets.
Radar Designation Lock

Designation Lock is used to select targets that will be actively tracked. All other targets are
ignored and the Radar will only display information on the selected target with a color change
(Yellow) and display the heading, ground speed, and altitude,. If the radar antenna loses track
of the target the Radar will go back into a Radar Priority Selection mode. Press ENT to

Weapons Command Manager (PCA) and (PPA)

The Weapons Command Manager consists of 2 parts, PCA and PPA. The PCA is the
left panel which arms, selects, and controls Aircraft approach and weapons modes. This
Panel will set you aircraft configuration to fire the weapons. The PPA controls the
weapon's release configuration and modes.
PCA
The PCA default mode is NAV mode, there is no "Master Mode" function and when the
PCA is armed you simply select the weapon to use and the VTH/HUD will display
automatically.
On the PCA the top row of buttons and displays are for configurations of the aircraft
depending on the weapon selected. Other functions/modes are used to assist the
aircraft's operation even if the PCA is in the safe state. When a mode or weapon is
selected, the button will illuminate with a S. Once the weapon is ready the same button
will illuminate a P.

triangulate range to target with Rad Alt estimated as height over target and dive angle
from
INS. (Functions best on flat terrain not a hill or mountain side.)
Approach Mode Selection

APP - Approach Mode - The aircraft uses this mode for ILS in the default NAV mode.
ZBI - Back-up mode. - Uses INS 3D position and 3D target coordinate to compute firing solution.
INS drift introduce some inaccuracy. You can select TAS + RS or TAS + ZBI- Selected allows
targeting with the TDC, Not selected uses PCN/INS waypoint.
Flight Plan Route Selection

RD
- Route Desired - The aircraft uses this mode in the default NAV mode. With RD you are
guided to arrive on waypoint with specified heading (RD on PCN)
Radar Calibration Selection

PI - Initial Point - After IP designation through the HUD guide the aircraft to release bombs
from standoff range with 6G pull up ballistic release. After release you can validate INS drift
correction on PCN. (Same function as OBL.). This Mode is for CCRP bombing mode and will only
be present when a bomb is selected.
