of external weapons for fire and has four possible positions: SAFE, ROCKETS, BOMBS BOTH, and

BOMBS TRAIN.

 SAFE. When set to safe, external weapons are not released.

simultaneously with a single press of the Bomb-Rocket Release button.

the second press of the Bomb-Rocket Release button.

3. BOMB ARMING SWITCHES. The Bomb Arming switches control the arming of the left and right

bombs, as well as initiate release of chemicals or smoke from the left and right external chemical

tanks. The switches have three possible positions: OFF, ARM, and CHEM RELEASE.

 OFF. Bombs are not armed. This position can be used to jettison bombs in unarmed state.

 ARM. Bombs are armed for detonation. This position must not be set for chemical tanks.

 CHEM RELEASE. When carrying external chemical or smoke tanks, setting the left or right

switch to CHEM RELEASE will initiate chemical or smoke release from the selected canister.

Once chemical or smoke release is confirmed visually, the switch can be returned to OFF.

Chemical or smoke release will continue until the tank is depleted.
