32 Heads-Up Display Modes represents the desired course. As with the ILS bars in the ADI, steer toward the bars. When the ILS bars are centered, the aircraft is following the proper approach. To enter ILS mode, press the 1 key to cycle between enroute navigation and ILS navigation. 3.103 Gun Mode Steering The gun mode appears after enabling the internal 20mm cannon. Different indicators appear depending upon whether a target is radar locked or not. To enter gun steering mode, you first must be in air-to-air weapons mode and then activate the gun. Radar Search Mode Radar search mode, also called the auto-acquisition mode, displays the basic HUD indicators plus the following additional fields: Cannon Search Mode • The gun reticle appears just below the heading scale. In search mode, the reticle consists of a 2-mil pipper centered inside a 25-mil segmented circle, likewise centered within a 50-mil circle. The reticle does not move and provides no information except to quickly identify that the cannon is enabled. • Gun information appears in the lower-left corner, replacing the g indicator. The word “GUN” confirms that the gun is enabled, followed by the number and type of rounds remaining. “GUN 940 P,” for example, indicates 940 rounds of PGU-38 20mm rounds. • The Mach indicator appears beneath the gun information, showing the aircraft’s current Mach number. • The navigation distance indicator appears in the lower-right corner. It shows the letter “N” followed by the distance (in nautical miles) to the next steer point. This mode is always enabled when the radar is off, or a target has not been locked on radar. Radar Tracking LCOS Mode When the radar tracks a target, the HUD replaces the static reticle with the
Heads-Up Display Modes 33 Lead Computing Optical Sight (LCOS) and shows additional information about the target. To initiate LCOS mode, you must first activate the radar and then lock the target by either manually locking the target on radar or flying the gun reticle over the target. Once the reticle is over the target and within 10 miles, an LCOS mode will automatically be initiated. Cannon LCOS Mode • The gun cross appears just below the heading scale. It shows where rounds will travel if the aircraft is not maneuvering. • The target designator box appears over the locked target. • The range scale appears on the right of the HUD, showing range from 0 to 10 nautical miles. The caret on the left side marks the range to the locked target. The number next the caret shows the target’s closure rate. Tick marks indicate the AIM-9 minimum and maximum launch ranges (against a nonmaneuvering target). • The LCOS gun reticle shows where a round from the cannon will be when it has traveled the distance to the target and accounts for drop due to gravity. To ensure a hit, steer the aircraft until the reticle’s center dot overlays the target designator box. Additionally, the range bar within the reticle provides a graphical representation of the range to the locked target. Each tick mark on the reticle represents 1,000 feet of range, counting clockwise from the 12 o’clock position. The maximum range cue is located outside the reticle and indicates the maximum effective range of the cannon. When the range bar passes this cue moving counterclockwise, the target is within cannon range. Finally, the lag line extends from the center of the reticle, indicating the pipper is displaying an error. The longer the lag line, the greater the probable targeting error. • The range-to-target readout in the lower right of the HUD provides a redundant display of the range to the target, showing the letter “R” followed by the range to the locked target. • Target aspect angle appears beneath the range-to-target readout, measuring
