missiles appear in two categories: AIM-9 variants are classified as “Short-Range<br />
Missiles” (SRM), while AIM-7 and AIM-120 variants are classified as “Medium-<br />
Range Missiles” (MRM). The status for each station shows two lines based on<br />
the selected weapon type:<br />
• When an MRM is selected: RDY appears above the selected weapon. STBY<br />
appears above all other medium-range missiles. SRM appears above all shortrange<br />
missiles.<br />
• When an SRM is selected: RDY appears above the selected weapon. STBY<br />
appears above all medium-range missiles. SRM appears above all other shortrange<br />
missiles.<br />
The following table illustrates the abbreviations used for each missile type:<br />

2.104 Airspeed/Mach Indicator<br />
Located next to the PACS, the airspeed/Mach indicator shows the Calibrated<br />
Airspeed (CAS) and Mach number. The fixed airspeed<br />
scale, graduated from 50 to 1000 knots, and a rotating<br />
Mach number scale (synchronized so their correct<br />
relationship is shown at all altitudes) allow a single<br />
pointer to indicate both readings. The Mach number<br />
shows above 200 knots.<br />
Airspeed / Mach Indicator<br />
2.105 AOA Indicator<br />
Located below the airspeed/Mach indicator, the AOA<br />
indicator displays the current Angle Of Attack in units from<br />
0 to 45. The units are calibrated against the F-15C’s normal<br />
flight envelope – a single unit does not equate to a single<br />
degree of pitch. An index mark is set at the approximate<br />
optimum landing approach AOA (20 to 22 units).<br />

2.106 Accelerometer<br />
The accelerometer displays instantaneous positive and<br />
negative acceleration G-loads. Markers highlight the<br />
maximum positive and negative G-loads achieved. The<br />
instrument is independent of, and less accurate than,<br />
the G-load displayed on the HUD.<br />
