number in all navigation computations. If INSERT/
ADVANCE key is not pressed, computer will con-
tinue using original numbers in all navigation com-
putations; but distance/time information, based on
new leg, may be called up and read in data displays
(in case of waypoints). When not in TACAN mix
mode, TACAN station number is inserted to display
DIS/TIME information.
(10.) WYPT CHG key. When pressed,
enables numbers in
FROM-TO display to be
changed. If INSERT/ADVANCE key is pressed,
computer will use navigation leg defined by new
(11.) AUTO-MAN TEST switch. This is a
dual purpose control. When the knob is pressed
inward, the TEST switch function is engaged. When
the knob is rotated to either the AUTO or MAN set-
ting, the control serves as a selector between those
modes.
(a.) AUTO. Selects automatic leg
switching mode. Computer switches from one leg to
the next whenever waypoint in TO side of the
FROM-TO display is reached.
(b.)
MAN. Selects manual leg switch-
ing mode. Pilot must make waypoint changes manu-
ally.
(c.) TEST. When pressed, performs
test of INS lights and displays, remote lights and
indicators controlled by INS, and computer input/
output operations.
Used with other controls to activate display of
numerical codes denoting specific malfunctions and
resets malfunction warning circuits.
During alignment, activates the HSI test. Con-
tinued pressing of switch provides constant INS out-
puts to drive cockpit displays in a predetermined
fashion.
NOTE
The INS can provide test signals to the
Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) and
connected displays. Pressing TEST switch
during STBY, ALIGN, or NAV modes
will cause all digits on connected digital
displays to indicate Ss and illuminates
the HSI WAYPOINT and ALERT
lights. Additional HSI test signals are pro-
vided when INS is in ALIGN and the
data selector is at any position other than
DSRTK/STS. Under those conditions,
pressing TEST switch causes the HSI to
indicate heading, drift angle, and track
angle error - all at 0° or 30°. At the
same time, cross track deviation is indi-
cated at 3.75 nautical miles (one dot)
TM 55-1510-221-10
right or left and INS-controlled HSI flags
are retracted from view.
Output test signal are also supplied to the
autopilot when INS steering is selected. Rotating
AUTO-MAN switch to AUTO and pressing TEST
during align furnishes a 15° left bank steering com-
mand. A 15° right bank steering command is fur-
nished when the AUTO/MAN switch is set to MAN.
(12.) FROM-TO display. Display numbers
defining waypoints of navigation leg being flown or,
in the case of a flashing display, displays TACAN
station being used. Waypoint numbers automatically
change each time a waypoint is reached. Unless
flight plan changes during flight, the automatic leg
switching sequence will always be 1, 2, 2 3, 3 4....8
9, 9 1, 1 2, etc.
(13.) Data selector. Selects data to be dis-
played in data displays or entered into INS. The
rotary selector has 10 positions. Five positions (L/L
POS, L/L WY PT, UTM POS, UTM WY PT and
DSRTK/STS) also allow data to be loaded into data
display then inserted into computer memory.
(a.) TK/GS. Displays aircraft track
angle in left display and ground speed in right dis-
play.
(b.) HDG/DA. Displays aircraft true
heading in left display and drift angle in right dis-
play.
(c.) XTK/TKE. Displays cross track
distance in left display and track angle in right dis-
play.
(d.) L/L POS. Displays or enters
present aircraft position latitude in left data display
and longitude in right data display. Both displays
indicate degrees and minutes to nearest tenth of a
minute. This position also enables the insertion of
present position coordinates during alignment and
present position updates.
(e.)
L/L WY PT. Displays or enters
waypoint and TACAN station data, if used in con-
junction with the waypoint/TACAN selector. This
position will also cause display of inertial present
position data when the HOLD key is illuminated.
(f.) DIS/TIME. Displays distance
from aircraft to TACAN station or any waypoint, or
between any two waypoints in left display. Displays
time to TACAN station or any waypoint, or between
any two waypoints, in right display.
(g.) WIND. Displays wind direction
in left display and wind speed in right display, when
true airspeed is greater than the air data system
lower limit (115 to 400 KIAS).
