(3) Model Aircraft Function. The model
aircraft is a mission simulation capable of following all
flight plan maneuvers to include holding patterns,
vertical navigation, and intercepts. The model aircraft
can only be operated when the weight on wheels
discrete indicates the aircraft is on the ground. The
ability of the model to correctly navigate is limited to
the mid-latitude (< 70) regions and airspeed above
10 knots. Higher latitudes and low airspeeds may
produce unexpected results in system response due to
instabilities in the model.
Prior to accessing the Model Aircraft page, enter
the initial present position on the Start 1 page. Access
the Model Aircraft page by pressing the MODEL line
select key on the Index 2 page. Refer to
Figure 3C-141 and Table 3C-104. Toggle the MODE
line select key to RUNNING to run the model. All
steering displays will reflect guidance information as
though the aircraft were flying and executing the flight
plan. Toggle the MODE line select key to STOPPED
to stop the model.
The heading/track and speed values on the
Model Aircraft page will correctly reflect the current
aircraft model's state and can be re-entered to
different values. The modes of heading available are
steering (STR) mode and heading (HLD) hold mode.
When STR mode is selected, the models heading
changes in response to steering commands calculated
to follow the flight plan. When HLD mode is selected,
the model maintains the entered heading. Toggle the
HDG line select key on the model aircraft page to
select the desired mode.
Altitude may be entered to any desired value.
When the desired vertical path has been captured, the
model tracks the vertical flight plan. When no altitude
has been assigned, a level altitude will be maintained.
