HEADS UP DISPLAY
By far the most important display for the pilot is the HUD that allows the aircraft to be flown without
having to look at any other instrument. It is displayed on a thick plate of glass directly in front of the
pilot. The HUD is switched on with a control on the ICP (the top right wheel) and the HUD CONTROL
panel on the left console where you can select what is seen. The amount of information can be rather
confusing and it is advised to slowly add more elements as you get more hours in your log book.
STANDARD HUD
The standard HUD is used for normal flight and for initiating an intercept.
INTERCEPT HUD
When you get closer to a radar locked target it is easier to switch to the intercept HUD. This HUD will
show automatically when a target is locked. To unlock the radar use the click zone in the radar.
