1.2.1.2 FLT CONTROL Panel (FLCP)
Refer to the FLCS chapter for a full overview of the FLCS system.
The panel is made of 6 switches and 1 dual indicator light.
The DIGITAL BACKUP switch is a two-position switch allowing the pilot
to manually select a backup software state of the FLCS for digital FLCS
equipped aircraft. When DBU is engaged the FLCS MFD page and the
DBU ON warning light report the DBU condition. A HUD WARN message
is also displayed.
The ALT FLAPS EXTEND/NORM switch controls the trailing edge flaps.
In NORM they are controlled automatically by the FLCS. To extend them manually place the switch in
EXTEND.
The LE FLAPS LOCK/AUTO switch commands the leading edge flaps. They can be automatically
controlled by the FLCS in AUTO position (as a function of Mach, altitude and AOA) or locked in their
current position in LOCK. When in LOCK the FLCS warning light illuminates and the PFLD reports a
>FLCS LEF LOCK< warning message.
The FLCS RESET switch is a momentary switch to RESET and allows the FLCS fault to be reset.
The MASTER CAUTION
reset doesn’t clear FLCS related faults so the only way to reset the
indicators, warning lights and PFL is by using the FLCS RESET switch. FLCS faults may be reset in
BMS to exit the FLCS standby gains activated on any FLCS fault (see FLCS section). Not all faults
can be reset.
The MANUAL TF FLYUP switch is a two-position toggle switch. It allows you to disable or enable
FLYUP protection in MANUAL TF (Terrain Following) mode. Only aircraft fitted with the AN/AAQ-13
navigation pod (NVP), part of the LANTIRN (Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night)
system, will have Terrain Following Radar (TFR) capability.
The BIT switch is a magnetically held switch in BIT. It performs the FLCS built in test if the weight on
wheel switch is on. BIT takes about 45 seconds, during which the RUN green indicator light is
illuminated. During the BIT all flight control surfaces move in sequence (these movements are visible
in multiplayer). If the BIT is successful the switch snaps back to the OFF position and the RUN light
goes off.
In case of failure the switch returns to OFF and the yellow FAIL light illuminates. The PFL displays
FLCS BIT FAIL and the status of the FLCS BIT is also shown on the FLCS MFD page. A failed BIT is
not resettable and a new BIT needs to be run. During that second BIT both the FAIL and RUN lights
will remain illuminated and upon successful completion the FAIL light will go off.
