LIST PAGE
The list page is a menu to other options. You select these options with the ICP numeric keys.
1 DEST - Displays the data of the waypoints on your flight plan.
2 BINGO - Sets the bingo fuel level (see below).
The F-16 uses fuel at a very high rate, certainly at afterburner setting and it is very important to
maintain a close eye on your fuel load. To help you with this it is possible to set a ‘bingo’ fuel
level. When you got that much fuel left a warning will appear in your HUD. Normally you would
set this level to the amount of fuel needed to fly back to base from the furthest point in your
flight plan. This level is set using the standard ICP procedure (see above)
3 VIP - inop
4 NAV- Displays the NAV menu (see below)
On the navigation page you can set the frequencies for the two navigation radios and the course
used by these systems. Setting the frequencies and courses is done with the standard ICP
procedure (see above)
5 MAN - inop
6 INS - Displays the Inertial Navigation System data. To show correct data the Inertial
Navigation needs to be activated when the aircraft is powered up.
8 MODE - inop
9 VRP - inop
MISC - Displays a secondary menu, none of this is used
