Radar Warning Receivers 79<br />

5.2 Russian Aircraft<br />

Emergency Procedures<br />

Onboard warning systems call your attention to battle damage, system<br />

malfunctions, enemy threats, or other dangerous situations. Correct interpretation<br />

of warning signals may save your aircraft, or at least save your life by providing<br />

sufficient time to eject.<br />

Master Warning System<br />

The Master Warning System (MSW) is designed to attract your attention to a<br />

specific failure. A Master Warning Light will flash and an alarm tone will draw your<br />

attention to the instrument panel.<br />

The MWS indicates that one of the following has occurred:<br />

Master Warning Light<br />

Missile Launch Warning<br />

• Impact with the ground is imminent – Accompanied by an “X” symbol on<br />

the HUD, your current flight path will result in a collision. The light flashes at 1<br />

Hz and emits an audible alarm. Pull up immediately.<br />

• Low fuel – The MWS light flashes at 1 Hz and is accompanied by an alarm<br />

beep for 10 seconds. The red NJGKBDJ light on the fuel gauge also<br />

illuminates. Land as soon as possible.<br />

• Landing gear is still deployed at a high airspeed – The warning light<br />

flashes at 1Hz and is accompanied by a warning beep. Both alarms cease<br />

when you retract the landing gear.<br />

• Some onboard equipment has failed or taken battle damage – Check the<br />

instrument panel for individual warnings or failure indicators, such as a failed<br />

engine, failed hydraulic system, or malfunctioning radar. See later sections for<br />

more information on handling specific failures.<br />

• Your aircraft is being painted by enemy radar – The MWS flashes at 5 Hz<br />

when the RWS detects enemy emissions. Flashing changes to 1 Hz when a<br />

lock-on has been detected. Check the threat warning display in the lower right<br />

corner of the instrument panel. Take evasive action as appropriate.<br />

• The Missile Launch Warning System has detected an inbound missile –<br />

The MWS light is accompanied by the Missile Launch Warning light. Take<br />

evasive action immediately.<br />

To reset the MWS, press the Shift + M key.<br />

Radar Warning System<br />

The SPO-15 “Beryoza” Radar Warning System (RWS) detects enemy radar signals<br />

and operates like any radar detector used in automobiles to locate police radar.<br />

Thanks to a more complicated antenna system (fitted in the tailcone) and more
