IV. F-14 COCKPITSAND AVIONICS
We recommend that first time flyers takethe time to read this chapter and do somepracticing in the Oceana Training theatre.This way newcomers can get the hang ofthings and not have to face hostile aircraftright away. Eventually all this “pilot stuff”will become second nature but for nowlet’s concentrate on the F-14’s flightinstrumentation.Each functioning gauge, dial, andindicator is described in detail so that youcan tell at a glance just how well youraircraft is doing. It is divided up into themajor instrumentation of both the frontand back seat cockpits.In addition, instrumentation on thepilot/RIO’s side panels and console isalso covered in separate sections.Smiling under all that headgear, this “Tomcat”driver has just returned from a successfulmission.
