A new mode is available in this version called LRS It is Long Range Scan and is almost identical to RWS The exceptions are that it is intended for identifying big targets at long range Therefore the scan rate is slower and the chance of detection slightly higher It is intended for use at range of 80nm but will work at any range ACM MODES The ACM submodes are only accessible by cycling through the long range radar modes The ACM submodes are accessible directly from the keyboard or by selecting dogfight mode 58 AUTOPILOT There are two switches that control the Autopilot AP operation the PITCH CTRL 2 and the ROLL CTRL 1 switch The PITCH switch engages the AP The PITCH switch must be in the ALT HOLD or ATT position for the AP to be active The AP system tracks your current altitude in the ALT HOLD position or your current attitude in the ATT position Switch Position ROLL HDG SEL ROLL ATT HOLD ROLL STRG SEL PITCH ALT HOLD AP holds current Altitude Follow HSI heading Hold roll angle and altitude Follow course to next waypoint PITCH OFF AP OFF AP OFF AP OFF PITCH ATT HOLD AP holds current Attitude pitch AP OFF Hold roll and pitch angle AP OFF To make manual inputs at any time during AP operation use the paddle switch CTRL 3 The Autopilot can only be engaged when the following conditions are met Refueling door is closed Landing gear is up No FLCS Fault Aircraft attit

19. The EPU can be set manually ALT e 73 eFALCON 1 10 USER S MANUAL Switching the EPU to ON has no noticeable effect if the engine RPM is above 80 as it will simply derive power from the main engine However as soon as RPM drops below 80 the EPU will start to burn EPU fuel The throttle on the F 16 has various stops where the normal sliding motion stops called detents The throttle must either be lifted or an interlock lever pulled to move it further One of these detent settings stops the throttle before it moves into afterburner position so the pilot has feedback that he is about to go into afterburner There is another position at the other end of the throttle travel that stops the throttle from moving below the idle setting to the cut off setting this avoids accidental shutdowns In the F 16 a small lever must be engaged to move the throttle below idle and shut down the engine Use the throttle idle detent ALT i to cut off the fuel flow to the engine One of the preflight checks is to check the throttle travel and confirm that the detents are working correctly WAR STORY Although the detents normally stop accidental movement of the throttle into a wrong position you can imagine that during the heat of battle or training that your actions may not always be as precise and collected as you might like A certain pilot flying F 16s during a Fox 2 training flight chopped his throttle back a little too vigorously and mana
