COCKPIT

Figure 36: K-14 sight reticles

The reticle type and their brilliance are set on the Selector-Dimmer panel located under the left side

of the instrument hood. This panel also contains a two-position toggle switch controlling the gyro

mechanism. This switch should remain ON at all times.

The sight is adjusted for the size of the target by means of the wingspan scale on the front of the

sight. Then range is set into the computing mechanism by rotating the throttle grip until the diameter

of the gyro image coincides with the span of the target in view. Targets must be tracked for at least

one second before the sight will compute effectively.

Gunsight Selector-Dimmer Panel

The K-14 gunsight Selector-Dimmer panel is located below the left instrument shroud and is used to

turn the sight on and off, set the sight mode, and adjust the sight brightness.
