ACM – SLEW<br />

The SLEW mode is a useful tool when used right. The SLEW mode basically<br />

gives you direct control of where the radar is looking. The system adds a slew<br />

pointer around the TAC, and in the HUD. The principle behind the slew mode<br />

is that you can point the radar beam wherever you want, essentially scanning<br />

manually within the confines of the radar gimbal limits. When you move the<br />

TAC up and down you are controlling the elevation of the radar beam, when<br />

you move the TAC left/right you are adjusting the horizontal position of the<br />

beam. See Below for the associated symbology.<br />

The small circle and the cross represent where the radar is currently looking<br />

in relation to the front nose of the aircraft.<br />
