OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

With flaps full down, maintaining level flight following transition


to manual reversion may require aft stick forces that exceed the physical
capability of the pilot. If transition to MRFCS occurs with flaps full

5. Refer to MRFCS LANDING.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 40


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1

MRFCS APPROACH/LANDING
MRFCS landings should be attempted only under ideal conditions.
1. External fuel tank(s) - JETTISON.

2. Extend Landing gear.


a. Landing gear handle – DOWN.
b. AUX LG EXT handle – PULL.
c. AUX LG EXT handle – Push in (when landing gear indicates
safe).
3. EMER BRAKE handle – Pull.
4. Fly straight-in approach.
5. Hold minimum airspeeds of 140 KIAS at 30,000 lbs total aircraft
weight plus 2 knots per 1,000 lbs of additional fuel for no-flap, or 150
KIAS (single-engine) plus 1 knot per 1,000 lbs of fuel until landing
assured.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 41


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

 A single-engine MRFCS landing should only be attempted if ejection


is not possible, as the approach and landing will leave little room for
error.

 Single-engine MRFCS minimum control speed is 130 KIAS unless


higher speed determined during controllability check.

 Single-engine MRFCS landing with asymmetry equivalent to ECM


pod on same side as dead engine is not recommended. Selectively
jettison other ordnance to regain symmetry or to get asymmetry
(weapons load) to favor side of good engine. In any case, perform
controllability check prior to attempting to land.

 Maximum cross-wind limit: 10 knots, clean configuration.

 Successful single-engine MRFCS go-around is very difficult to


accomplish and an early decision must be made.

SINGLE-ENGINE MRFCS LANDING


When single-engine MRFCS landing is the only option, approach/landing
will leave little room for error. Relatively steep approach should be made
(3° to 3-1/2°) with minimum power in good engine. Use applicable
techniques described in SINGLE-ENGINE LANDING. Start flare at 200
feet AGL to arrest sink rate and obtain shallow flight path. Follow steps
listed for MRFCS LANDING.

TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Severe engine overtemp is possible due to loss of ITT amplifiers.

INVERTER FAILURE
1. Throttle(s) - Retard. (Maintain core speeds below 90% when at or 4
below 25,000 feet MSL, or below 85% if above 25,000 feet MSL.)
2. Circuit breakers - Check closed.
3. Inverter switch - Recycle STBY to TEST and back to STBY several
cycles. Leave in STBY.
4. APU - START (below 15,000 feet MSL).
5. APU generator switch - PWR.
6. Land as soon as practical.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 47


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

If left generator fails and bus power fails to transfer, temporary loss of
ITT amplifiers may result in double engine overtemp with throttles in
MAX.

• Battery life is a function of its condition and state-of-charge, and


should last for approximately 30 minutes.

• If the generators are not supplying AC, the battery life will be
reduced to 18 minutes unless the inverter is turned off.

• If the generators are not supplying AC, the battery life will be
reduced to 18 minutes unless some systems running on essential AC
are turned off.

If above 10,000 feet, turn crossfeed on prior to resetting generators to


prevent fuel pressure loss and subsequent flamout.

APU generator can be used to supply essential equipment indefinitely.

GENERATOR FAILURE
1. GENERATOR CONT circuit breaker(s) - Check closed.
2. If above 10,000 feet, crossfeed - CROSSFEED.
3. Failed generator switch(es) - OFF/RESET momentarily, then to PWR.

If light goes out within 3 attempts, If L and/or R GEN light remains


and electrical system operation is on after 3 attempts:

operations. OFF/RESET.
5. APU - START (below
15,000 feet MSL).
6. APU generator switch -
PWR.
7. Crossfeed - As required.
8. Land as soon as practical.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 49


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

In the event an engine is suction-feeding due to a failed boost pump,


the affected engine will suction-feed from the failed tank for all power
settings above idle, up to 10,000 feet (most cases 20,000 feet).

SAI is reliable within + 6 degrees for a minimum of 9 minutes after


the battery switch is off.

Cockpit indication of fuel status will not be available. Timing and


estimated fuel flow must be used to determine quantity remaining.
Fuel in external tanks will not feed, and tanks cannot be jettisoned.

There will be no cockpit indication of landing gear down and locked.


Sound and feel orvisual checks must be relied on to determine gear
position. It may take up to 30 seconds for gear to extend and lock.

Anti-skid protection will not be available. If locked wheel(s) and/or


skidding are detected; release brakes and reapply cautiously.

ELECTRICAL FAILURE - TOTAL


1. Throttles – Retard (maintain core speeds below 90% when at or below
25,000 feet MSL, or below 85% when above 25,000 feet MSL).
2. Descend to 10,000 feet MSL or below, if possible. It not possible,
maintain altitude below 20,000 feet MSL.
3. Regulated Emergency Oxygen Supply (REOS) – Activate, if
necessary.

Prior to landing:
4. Plan no flap/no speed brake approach.
5. Extend landing gear.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 52


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

When operating with L or R MAIN FUEL LOW light on, maintain a


cruise attitude and avoid abrupt maneuvers that will cause fuel sloshing
in tanks.

• If defuel valve fails to open, and crossfeed is selected, fuel will rapidly
transfer from boost pump fed tanks into all tanks.

• Dual engine flameout may occur during crossfeed operations if tank


with operative boost pump runs dry.

If in-flight refueling is required, FILL DISABLE switches must be


enabled.

Dual engine flameout may occur during negative g flight after


approximately 5 seconds with one main boost pump inoperative, or off.

To ensure that aircraft cg remains within established limits, aft (left)


tank fuel should not exceed forward (right) tank fuel by more than 1,000
pounds.

Applicable wing fuel may not be recoverable with a failed boost pump.

CAUTION

Additional rudder input and bank will be required to control yaw when
selecting OVERRIDE. Illumination of ENG HOT light and high ITT on
properly functioning engine should also be anticipated.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

If left hydraulic pressure is not available, EMER RETR must be


selected. Use extreme caution to ensure manual reversion switch is not
inadvertently activated.

Operation for several minutes in above normal temperature range will not
precipitate an immediate engine failure. However, ITT can reach 980°C and
some engine durability degradation will occur. Operation in above normal
temperature range for more than 15 minutes is not recommended.

At safe altitude and with airspeed above 150 KIAS (if possible):

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 64


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Accomplishing windmill airstart following duel-engine flameout will


require high-speed dive in manual reversion. If engine star is
unsuccessful, high control forces will be necessary to recover from dive.
If pitch trim is inoperative, ejection may be only option.

It takes between 6,000 and 8,000 feet in steep dive (at least 30° dive
angle) with power off to gain windmill airstart speed from normal cruise
speed. If assisted start is unsuccessful, then windmill start may be
attempted, providing inoperative engine shows no signs of seizure or
other damage. ITT will rapidly fall to 150°C or below as airspeed
increases.

WINDMILL AIRSTART
Windmill air start is not recommended. However, if necessary:
1. Place aircraft in a dive to obtain and/or maintain sufficient windmill
start airspeed.
2. Bleed air switch – OFF.
3. Crossfeed switch – CROSSFEED.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 65


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

During single-engine operation, failure to use sufficient rudder can result


in large sideslip angles and yaw rates, producing excessive drag, sink
rates and loss of airspeed. Use coordinated flight and slight bank into the
good engine to prevent sideslip buildup and avoid large yaw rates.
Power reduction on the good engine may be required to arrest yaw
buildup.

Failure to arrest an excessive yaw rate may create a condition where


there is insufficient rudder to correct the sideslip and cause the aircraft to
depart controlled flight. Increased power must be led by coordinated
rudder. Significantly higher forces will be required with a right engine
failure (as high as 100 lbs). Use rudder trim to relieve excessive rudder
pressure.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 66

SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE WHILE


CONFIGURED FOR LANDING
At first indication of engine failure or fire:
1. THROTTLES - MAX.
2. SPEED BRAKES - CLOSE.
3. FLAPS - MVR.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• The external fuel tanks are directionally destabilizing; jettison is highly


recommended.

• Non-jettisonable ECM pods on outboard stations will contribute to


directional control problems if a counter balancing store on opposite
wing is jettisoned. This will be particularly evident if ECM pod is in
same side as failed engine. The overriding consideration must be aircraft
performance.
If single-engine climb capability is questionable, jettison is the only
alternative.

If left hydraulic pressure is not available, EMER RETR must


be selected. Use extreme caution to ensure manual reversion
switch is not inadvertently activated.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 68


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• A combination of high gross weight, high pressure altitude, and high


temperature may create a condition in which level flight is not possible
with gear extended. In this case, delay lowering gear until ready for
descent on final, and, if possible, reduce weight prior to starting a
approach.

• During single-engine operation, failure to use sufficient rudder can


result in large sideslip angles and yaw rates, producing excessive drag,
sink rates and loss of airspeed. Use coordinated flight and slight bank
into the good engine to prevent sideslip buildup and avoid large yaw
rates. Power reduction on the good engine may be required to arrest
yaw buildup. Failure to arrest an excessive yaw rate may create a
condition where there is insufficient rudder to correct the sideslip and
cause the aircraft to depart controlled flight. Increased power must be
led by coordinated rudder.

• Fly approach with crosswind from operating engine side, if possible,


using relatively steep approach (3°) to minimize power on operating
engine.

• If auxiliary landing gear extension handle is used, nosewheel steering,


normal wheel brakes, flaps, and anti-skid will not be available.

• If right engine is inoperative, speed brakes will not be available and


slats will extend, producing an increase in drag.

SINGLE-ENGINE LANDING
1. Speed brakes – Close.
2. Flaps – Retract.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 69


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Selective jettison of stores on same side as dead engine will reduce


rudder requirement.

It may take up to 30 seconds for the gear to extend and lock.

Gust factor and crosswind corrections should be applied to touchdown


airspeed, but are not applied to single-engine approach speed.

3. External stores - Jettison (as required).


4. Yaw trim control knob - Neutral.
5. SAS/anti-skid paddle - OFF.
6. Yaw SAS - Engage operable channel if hydraulic pressure for
operable hydraulic system is normal, and yaw damping, trim, and turn

10. Review SINGLE-ENGINE GO-AROUND (EF-37).
11. Fly no-flap approach at 150 KIAS plus 1 knot for each 1,000 pounds
of aircraft gross weight over 30,000 pounds until landing is assured.

After landing is assured:

13. Speed brakes – As required (if right hydraulic system is operative).

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 70


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• During single-engine operation, failure to use sufficient rudder can


result in large sideslip angles and yaw rates. Large sideslip angles will
produce excessive drag, loss of airspeed, and excessive sink rates. It is
critical to maintain coordinated flight using the rudders and slight bank
into the good engine to prevent sideslip buildup during single-engine
situations. If altitude and the situation permit, power reduction on the
good engine may be required to arrest excessive yaw buildup. If
sideslip is not arrested, it is possible to create a condition where the
yaw rate becomes so large that there is insufficient rudder available to
correct the sideslip, and the aircraft can depart controlled flight.
Increased power settings must be led by timely and coordinated rudder
inputs.

• Flight tests show a significantly higher rudder force is required to


maintain controlled flight following the failure of a right engine as
opposed to the failure of a left engine. The additional force required
varies, but has been measured to be as high as 100 pounds. The onset
rate is rapid and occurs when the right hydraulic system depressurizes,
about the same time that the slats extend. Use of rudder trim may be
necessary to relieve excessive rudder pressure.

• Under normal single-engine approach conditions, best single-engine


climb speed is approximately:

• Gear down - Single-engine approach speed minus 10 KIAS.

• Gear Up - Single-engine approach speed.

4. FUEL FLOWS - OVERRIDE (if required).

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 72


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• It may take up to 110 seconds to regain usable engine power after


initiation of APU start and subsequent engine start. At low altitude, a
30,000 pound A-10 flown at best glide speed will descend
approximately 3,700 feet in 110 seconds. Best glide speed at 30,000
pounds: 140 KIAS, add (or subtract) 2 KTS/1,000 pounds above (or
below) 30,000 pounds.

• Jettisoning external ordnance will reduce gross weight and may


increase glide distance.

In certain situations, flight into the engine disturbance area, with the
throttles in idle, may cause the engines to stagnate at idle core RPM
without engine overtemp. This condition will not cause a MASTER
CAUTION light and the best course of action may be to leave one
engine running, shut down other engine to clear stall/stagnation, and
perform single-engine restart using APU. If engine is stalled/stagnated at
idle, there will be hydraulics available to power flight controls.

Aileron float up normally induces an aircraft pitch change which can be


nose up or nose down depending on aircraft cg, elevator trim tab setting,
power setting, and flap position. The pitch change intensity varies and is
dependent on aileron float up rate, airspeed and altitude, and can range
from minus 2.0 to plus 6.8 g’s during transition.

Cool engine until the ITT is below 150° C. Attempting restart with ITT
above 150° C will result in overtemp and may damage the engine to the
extent that usable power will not be available.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Actuation of the ignition sequence between the time the APU switch is
moved to START and the APU RPM reaches 60% may preclude
ignition signals from reaching the engine. If ignition does not occur, stop
the ignition attempt and reinitiate the ignition sequence after the APU
RPM has reached 60% or greater.

The throttle must be positioned against IDLE stop in order to obtain


APU-assisted engine starts. If the throttle is moved forward of IDLE, the
ATS control valve will close and ignition is terminated after 30 seconds.

APU generator should be turned on after APU comes up to speed to


provide electrical power for hydraulic pump cooling.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 75


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Attempt only if ejection is not possible.

Pitch response becomes extremely degraded as aircraft enters ground


effect below 50 feet AGL. Flare must be initiated prior to passing 200
feet AGL to arrest sink rate before entering ground effect.

Time from high key to touchdown will be approximately 2 minutes.


Wind effects must be considered early in the pattern; for example, a 10-
knot headwind will cause the touchdown point to move approximately
2,000 feet short of no-wind touchdown point.

Speeds shown are for aircraft gross weight of 30,000 pounds. Increase
all speeds 2KIAS for each 1,000 pounds over 30,000 pounds gross
weight.

feet AGL).
6. Base key - 160 KIAS minimum (approximately 2,000 to 2,500

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• If aircraft has structural damage, artificial stall warning devices, AOA,


and pitot static system may not be reliable.

• If aircraft has structural damage, flight characteristics may be altered.


It is important to determine the actual flight characteristics and amount
of control authority available before attempting to recover the aircraft.

• If a usable landing configuration is unlikely, consideration should be


Given to landing all gear up (see LANDING GEAR EMERGENCIES).

• If structural damage is suspected or confirmed in the nosewheel well


(e.g. catastrophic gun malfunction), consideration should be given to
the possibility of nose gear extension malfunction or engine damage
due to FOD.

• With the LANDING GEAR circuit breaker open, normal brakes, anti-
skid, and nosewheel steering will be inoperative. Pulling the emergency
brake handle will provide braking capability.

• If damage resulted in right hydraulic system failure, pulling the

TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Touchdown speed is ten knots below computed final approach speed for
normal, no-flap, and single engine configurations. Final approach (gear
down) airspeed is based on 30,000 lbs. total landing gross weight. For
each additional 1,000 lbs. of fuel:

• Add 2 knots to 130 KIAS for normal.


• Add 2 knots to 140 KIAS for no-flap.
• Add 1 knot to 150 KIAS for single-engine.

Main wheel tire ground rating 165 knots. If landing is attempted with
touchdown speed higher than 165 knots, tire failure may occur.

11. Gradually slow aircraft to desired touchdown airspeed, or to


minimum airspeed at which approximately one-half the available
control in an axis is required to maintain altitude in wing level flight.
If the aircraft can be controlled at speeds below the gear and flap
limit speed, recovery is possible.

12. Maintain landing configuration and fly at 20 KIAS above the


minimum control or desired touchdown speed (whichever is higher)
on final approach until landing is assured.

13. Land as soon as practical.

If landing is not possible, refer to EJECTION

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Nosewheel steering loss may be an indication of normal brake failure.

• Release brake pedal pressure prior to selecting emergency brakes.


Failure to release brake pedal pressure may cause wheels to lock.

• Loss of braking can result from an electrical malfunction in landing


gear control valve circuitry. If this occurs, there will be no caution light
or gauge indication, and normal brakes, anti-skid, and nosewheel
steering will be inoperative.

• If either or both weight-on-wheels squat switches do not arm (i.e.


compress due to weight on wheels) or malfunction, brake pedal
pressure may feel normal, even though brake pressure is not supplied
to the wheels. The Emergency Brake handle must be pulled to obtain
braking action.

perform procedure for
applicable configuration.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 94


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

If the decision is made not to eject, landing with all gear up is most
desirable means of recovering rather than landing with abnormal gear
configurations.

Vertical stabilizers will probably touch first.

• Only 80 percent speed brakes available.

• Speed brakes and flaps will not contact runway.

• Landing roll is increased significantly without speed brakes.

Although the thrust of each engine at idle is approximately 500 lbs, this
is offset by brake availability and increased rudder control with engines
operating.

• Use light pressure for directional control, moderate pressure to slow


aircraft.

• Anti-skid is not available.

• Throttles should be cut off if runway departure is imminent.

• A minimum of five full brake applications are available after engine


shutdown.

More rudder pedal pressure is required to maintain directional


control after engine shutdown.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 95


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1

ALL GEAR UP

After touchdown:
1. Speed brakes - FULL OPEN.
2. Throttles - IDLE.
3. Stick - FULL AFT.
4. Wheel brakes - Light to moderate pressure to ensure aircraft stays
on prepared surface.
5. Throttles - OFF (if required).

After stopping:
6. Perform EMERGENCY GROUND EGRESS.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 96


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

If nose-wheel steering is not available, rudder effectiveness will provide


limited directional control. Departing prepared surface is probable.

Results of actual experience and computer simulation indicate, if the


decision is made not to eject, landing with all gear up is most desirable
means of recovering rather than landing with abnormal gear
configurations.

POINTS OF CONTACT: Nose gear and vertical stabilizer


(nonjettisonable stores will not contact runway).

• Fly a shallow approach controlling aircraft to the runway allowing tail


to settle on ground slowly.

• Touchdown on upwind side of runway.

• After touchdown, aircraft will drift downwind.

• Nose wheel steering may be available after touchdown if engaged with


left hydraulic pressure.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 97


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1

NOSE SAFE, BOTH MAINS UNSAFE

After touchdown:
1. Throttles - OFF.

After stopping:
2. Perform EMERGENCY GROUND EGRESS.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 98


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• Results of actual experience and computer simulation indicate, if the


decision is made not to eject, landing with all gear up is most desirable
means of recovering rather than landing with abnormal gear
configurations.

• At touchdown, wing with unsafe main gear will drop almost


immediately.

• POINTS OF CONTACT: Nose gear, extended main gear, vertical


stabilizer, and outboard pylon on gear up side. • Weather vaning into
wind is not a significant factor in maintaining directional control.
Aircraft tends to be blown downwind; therefore, if runway selection is
an option, crosswind should be from side of unsafe main gear. • Drag
from wingtip and vertical stabilizer is significant. Plan landing on side
of runway corresponding to safemain gear.

Throttles should be cut off if runway departure is imminent.

A minimum of five full brake applications is available after engine


shutdown.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 99


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1

NOSE SAFE, ONE MAIN UNSAFE

After touchdown:
1. Throttles – IDLE.
2. Wheel brake - AS REQUIRED to maintain directional control.
3. Throttles - OFF.
4. Perform EMERGENCY GROUND EGRESS.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 100


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

If the decision is made not to eject, landing with all gear up is most
desirable means of recovering rather than landing with abnormal gear
configurations.

• POINTS OF CONTACT: Both main gears and gun barrel.

• Touchdown on runway centerline.

• If possible, reduce weight below 30,000 pounds, induce aft cg by


crossfeed and expending ammo and stores.

• With less than 375 pounds of ammo/casings, fuel can be evenly


distributed.

• With more than 375 pounds of ammo/casings, aft fuel must exceed
forward fuel by 1,000 pounds. Gross weight should be at an absolute
minimum.

• Use the following weight figures to compute the ammo/casing weight:


Live rounds - 1.5 pounds each
Empty casings - 0.5 pound each.

Throttles should be cut off if runway departure is imminent.

Directional control will be difficult using differential brakes. Pilot


induced oscillations may occur.

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 101


TO 1A-10C-476CL-1

NOSE UNSAFE, BOTH MAINS SAFE

After touchdown:
1. Throttles - IDLE.
2. Following touchdown, smoothly lower the nose to the runway
prior to loss of elevator effectiveness.
3. Wheel brakes - Light applications, as required to maintain directional
control.

After stopping:
4. Throttles - OFF.
5. Perform EMERGENCY GROUND EGRESS.

END

17 November 2017 CHANGE 12 102

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• Results of actual experience and computer simulation indicate, if the


decision is made not to eject, landing with all gear up is most desirable
means of recovering rather than landing with abnormal gear
configurations.

• At touchdown, wing with unsafe main gear and nose will drop almost
immediately.

• POINTS OF CONTACT: Extended main gear, unsafe main gear, and


vertical stabilizer.

• Land on side of runway with extended main gear and crosswind from
Side with unsafe main gear.

• If possible, reduce weight and induce aft CG by crossfeed, expending


ammo, and stores jettison. An aft CG should be more directionally
stable by induced drag on vertical stabilizer contacting the runway.

Throttles should be cut off if runway departure is imminent.

Wheel brake will be sensitive due to vertical stabilizer dragging. Pilot


induced oscillations may occur. Directional control should be sufficient
to keep aircraft on runway.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• When the EGI fails or is turned off, disregard the steer point ID, steer
Point database and number, distance to steer point, actual TTG, and
delta time displayed on the HUD.

• If performing an instrument approach using EGI for attitude source and


the NAV Caution light comes on, select HARS and consider a missed
approach.

• If EGI fails, the EGI light on the NMSP, if selected, will go out and the
HARS ▲ light will light (indicating HARS is attitude source) if HARS
is available; and STR PT or ANCHR, if selected, will disengage.

• If HARS is available, HSI and ADI steering can be driven by ILS,


ADF, TCN, or TISL.

• When the EGI fails or is turned off (with the CDU operational), the
HUD displays the corrected HARS magnetic heading (correction based
on time that EGI failed or was turned off), if EGI INS was in NAV
mode when EGI failed or was turned off. If EGI INS was not in NAV
mode when EGI failed or was turned off, the HUD displays the
uncorrected magnetic heading.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• When the EGI is turned off, disregard the steer point ID, steer point
database and number, distance to steer point, actual TTG, and delta
time displayed on the HUD.

• When the EGI is turned off (with the CDU operational), the HUD
displays the corrected HARS magnetic heading (correction based on
time that EGI was turned off), if EGI INS was in NAV mode when EGI
was turned off. If EGI INS was not in NAV mode when EGI was
turned off, the HUD displays the uncorrected magnetic heading.

• This action will cause an in-flight alignment to be initiated, if aircraft is


in the air or on the ground and moving. If aircraft is on the ground and
not moving, this action will cause an EGI INS ground alignment
(aircraft’s present (initial) position may have to be entered).

• An in-flight alignment requires that the aircraft be flown straight and


level in unaccelerated flight prior to initiation of an in-flight alignment,
and until a steady asterisk is displayed next to INFLT on ALIGN Page.

• If aircraft cannot be flown straight and level in unaccelerated flight


prior to and during in-flight alignment until a steady asterisk is
displayed next to INFLT, it is recommended that another in-flight
alignment be initiated using INFLT line select key on the ALIGN Page
when aircraft can be flown straight and level in unaccelerated flight.

• Override the automatic alignment by depressing the LAST POS LSK


on the ALIGN Page. The EGI aligns to the last position stored in EGI.

If EGI status remains N or F:


4. AAP - EGI switch to OFF for at least 10 seconds, then set EGI
switch to ON. If this corrects the problem, reselect EGI and/or
STR PT or ANCHR, as desired.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

• When the CDU fails or is turned off, disregard the steer point ID, steer
point database and number, distance to steer point, actual TTG, delta
time, altitude, airspeed, and magnetic heading displayed on the HUD.

• When the CDU fails, STR PT or ANCHR on the NMSP, if selected,


will disengage. The HSI mag heading, ADI pitch and roll, the HUD
pitch and roll, will continue to be provided by HARS or EGI as
previously selected. All EGI steering information presented on the HSI,
ADI, and HUD will be lost or invalid.

• HSI and ADI steering can be driven by ILS, ADF, TCN, or TISL as
selected by the NMSP.

• When the CDU fails, the CDU screen will freeze, become blank, show
a flashing DISPLAY FAILURE, MBC FAIL, ADA FAIL, or
HARDWARE FAIL message.

• Cycling power to the CDU for more than 3 seconds will cause any
modified or created waypoints, flight plans, or LASTE pilot
preferences and weapons data to be lost.

• This action will not initiate an EGI INS alignment if EGI INS is in
NAV or NARF mode.

• HUD altitude and airspeed will not be available until the completion of
the CDU startup BIT test.
