Radar modes are set on the navigation radio. | |||
'''Radio''' | |||
The radio equipment consists of two transceiver and one control unit of model Fr-21. They are on the left horizontal panel. In the simulation both transceivers are used for communication. In the real aircraft one was the receiver for combat control data feeding the AHK and other avionics. The letters A-K stores pre set frequencies for transceiver A (closest to the control unit) and the numbers 1-5 stores pre set frequencies fro transceiver B. A stores the COM1 frequency at FG start up, B stores COM1 standby frequency. Number 1 stores the COM2 frequency at FG start up, 2 stores COM2 standby frequency. The frequency for the other letters and numbers are in the text file Avionics/Fr21.txt and can be changed by the user. | |||
Pressing the buttons marked with dash (-) makes it possible to manually set the transceiver’s frequency using the knobs on the unit. | |||
The radio is off at simulation start. Transceiver B uses battery power and transceiver A uses main AC. | |||

Lift off: Rotate at 270 km/h to 10-12 degrees pitch. Lift off at approx 300 km/h. Turn of afterburner at 500 km/h if not needed for climbing. Normal climb speed Mach 0.9. | |||
Landing: Lower speed to 500 km/h. Lower gears and turn on landing lights. Turn to final lowering the speed to 325 km/h. Keep a speed of 300 km/h and a plané of 3 degrees (100 m at 2 km distance), RPM 80-85%. After touchdown raise the nose up to increase drag until speed is 240 km/h. Apply brakes. Lower nose at 160 km/h. | |||
