IFF | Button | - | This button provides the primary method of initiating the identification of position function (I/P) of the IFF system. Pushing the button momentarily causes the I/P timer to energize for 15-30 seconds. If a mode 1 (Security identity), 2 (Personal identity) or 3A (Traffic identity) interrogation is recognized within this 15-30 second period, I/P replies are made. |
LASER | 2-Way switch | ARM | Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) pod's targeting laser on |
OFF | Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) pod's targeting laser off | ||
ALT REL | Button | Alternate weapon release button (see Side Stick Controller) | |
MASTER | 3-Way switch | ARM | All weapons active |
OFF | All weapons safe | ||
SIMULATE | Weapons mode simulate active | ||
AUTO TF | 3-Way switch | AUTO TF | Not functional. ATF NOT ENGAGED caution light illuminates. |

PITCH | 3-Way switch | ALT HOLD | Engages pitch axis of autopilot. Autopilot maintains constant altitude as determined by CADC. |
OFF | Disengages pitch axis of autopilot. | ||
ATT HOLD | Enganes pitch axis of autopilot. Autopilot maintains constant pitch attitude as determined by INS. | ||
ROLL | 3-Way switch | HDG SEL | Engages roll axis of autopilot. Autopilot turns the aircraft to capture and maintain the heading selected by the heading reference marker on the HSI. |
OFF | Disengages roll axis of autopilot. | ||
ATT HOLD | Engages roll axis of autopilot. Autopilot maintains roll attitude as determined by INS. |
