Title: FCS Check
Post by: jimi08 on June 18, 2008, 10:28:30 pm

Virtuali,

I was studying some checklist for the A model, and part of the checklist is "FCS or FCS Trim Check-12, 30, 30, 30, 4".  Since you guys know the Hornet cockpit and avionics far better than I do, can you show me where or how to check the FCS system so as to cross-reference the numbers mentioned above?  Thanks

Well, the Flight Controls checks are not really reproduced as they are in the manual...

However, if you want to go through the checklist, and "pass" your FCS test in some way, on the CHK (Checklists) page, that is accessed from the top DDI menu, there's a numerical indication that allows to check the joystick, which is basically a small version of the real test. The left number shows the joystick up/dn axis and the right number shows the trim axis.
