SECTION II
2-1. DESCRIPTION
2-2. GENERAL. Maintenance of the electronic systems of the aircraft requires a knowledge of the intercon-
nection between the various equipment. In order to be able to identify which part of the equipment is responsible
for a fault, the flight line technician must be aware of where, when and how the various parts of the systems are
inteconnected.
2-3. AIRCRAFT ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. The following electronic systems are installed on the aircraft:
2-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
– Data
– Mission Computer
– Display
2-5. The Digital Autopilot/Flight Director System (DA/FD) consists of two Automatic Flight Control Proces-
sors (AFCP) and associated servos for the pitch, roll, and yaw flight surfaces, each connected to a drum and
bracket assemblies to allow for an interface to the flight control system. The DA/FD implements a three-axis,
self-monitored autopilot and two-axis flight director. A separate selectable yaw damper function is provided for
reducing aircraft Dutch Roll effects. The flight directors for each AFCP are automatically synchronized to the
same modes (lateral and vertical)
2-7. The ARC-210 Very High Frequency/Ultra High frequency (V/UHF) Radio Communication System is
one functional element of the voice communications, radio navigation, and aircraft identification and surveillance
capability, commonly referred to as the Communications Navigation Identification Identification (CNI) system.
Integration and automated functionality for these CNI system elements is provided through the CNI Management
System (CNI-MS). The CNI-MS interfaces with the voice communications system through the MIL-STD-1553B
data buses and provides automatic frequency tuning and mode control of the communication radios and radio
navigation aids.
2-8. The HF Radio Communication System provides clear, long range voice communications with HF oper-
ational capability from 2.0000 to 29.9999 MHz in 100 Hz steps. Operating modes include upper sideband (USB)
voice or data, lower sideband (LSB) voice or data, continuous wave (CW), and amplitude modulation equivalent
(AME) modes. Selective Calling (SELCAL) capability is included. Frequency selection and the configuration
of the system is controlled through the menu driven CNI Management Unit (CNI-MU) or the Communications
Navigation Radio Panel (CNRP).
2-9. The Public Address (PA) System provides one-way communications between the flight crew and pas-
sengers in the cargo compartment through five loudspeakers located throughout the cargo compartment. The
PA system enables the flight crew to broadcast radio communications from the HF or V/UHF radios to the aft
cargo compartment or to transmit voice interphone messages or instructions to personnel located in these areas
during normal or emergency situations.
2-10. The Intercommunications System (ICS) provides on-board voice interphone communication between
all crewmembers on the aircraft and also functions as the integrating system and distribution gateway for all audio
and voice communications signals being received from various aircraft equipment. The Central Switching Unit
distributes these signals to individual crewmember’s headsets based on the ICS Control Panel and ICS Monitor
Panel settings selected. The ICS provides each crewmember with the ability to interface with and control the
HF and V/UHF radios for external voice communications. The ICS functions for internal voice communications
and the Public Address system function is for internal broadcast communications.
2-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
2-12. The Regulated Power Supply (RPS) system provides regulated low voltage to control panel lights. It
is divided into a left and right system that supplies the power to control panel lights on the left and right sides of
the aircraft respectively.
2-14. The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) system transmits an emergency signal on three different
frequencies when set off by an impact.
2-15. The Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) system radiates a pulsed acoustic signal when immersed in
fresh or salt water. This is to provide for underwater search operations using directional hydrophone equipment.
2-17. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) system records all voice channels and cockpit ambient audio for
accident and incident investigations.
2-18. The Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) records the latest 25 hours of aircraft flight performance data.
It records and stores crash protected aircraft performance data for use during incident and accident investiga-
tions.
2-19. The Dual Slotted Data Transfer (DSDT) system interfaces with the Mission Computer (MC) to record
and store maintenance and fault data on removable memory modules, and provide Input/Output (I/O) capability
for the Flight Management System (FMS), Ground Interactive Management System (GIMS), and the Mission
Data Cartridge.
2-20. NAVIGATION
2-21. The Distributed Air Data System (DADS) provides air mass data to the flight crew and aircraft depen-
dent systems through the MIL-STD-1553B display data bus. One air data computer and one static pressure
transducer unit are paired together with applicable probes to form one channel of the DADS. The DADS operate
as two independent subsystems, DADS 1 located on the left side of the aircraft and DADS 2 located on the right
side of the aircraft. The DADS is interfaced, through the mission computer, with the CNI Management System,
the Digital Autopilot/Flight Director, Pressurization Control System, Full Authority Digital Electronic Controller,
Environmental Control System, De-Ice Timer Unit, Nacelle Interface Unit, IFF Transponder, and the Color Mul-
tifunction Display Units.
2-22. The Standby Attitude Instrument System (SAIS) is a stand alone instrument system for emergency
use. The SAIS provides a backup to the pilot and copilot primary instruments. The electronic indicator is
mounted in the instrument panel between the pilot and copilot and the slip/skid indicators are on the No. 1 and
No. 5 CMDU.
2-23. The Radar Altimeter (RA) system is a solid-state, phase modulated/pulsed system which measures
absolute altitude and distributes the data digitally to aircraft systems and displays. The radar altitude reference
set values are set from the reference set/mode select panel. The radar altimeter system communicates to the
mission computer using the MIL-STD-1553B (1553B) data bus. Two Radar Altimeters measure the altitude of
the airplane above ground level (AGL) at or below 50000 feet (15240 m).
2-24. Two VHF Navigation (VOR/ILS/MB) systems receive transmissions from the ground based Very
High Frequency Omni-Range (VOR), Instrument Landing System (ILS), Localizer (LOC), and Glideslope
(GS) systems. In addition, the No. 1 system performs the functions of a Marker Beacon (MB) receiver.
The VOR/ILS/MB system consists of two receivers, VOR/ILS antennas, a GS antenna, and a MB antenna.
Control of the VOR/ILS/MB receivers is by the Communication/ Navigation/Identification Management System
2-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
(CNI-MS) through the Mission Computer (MC), via MIL-STD- 1553B (1553B) data bus. Three independent
receivers within the VOR/ILS receivers are integrated to provide for reception of 200 VOR/LOC channels,
40 GS channels, and MB. Audio outputs are provided for station identification. The VHF navigation system
furnishes relative bearing to station, VOR/ILS guidance, marker beacon annunciators, and glideslope guidance
information to the MC for utilization by the digital flight director system and display on the Primary Flight Display
(PFD).
2-25. The Embedded Global Positioning/Inertial Navigation (EGI) system, is an all attitude navigation system
providing outputs of linear and angular acceleration, velocity, position, attitude (roll, pitch, and platform azimuth),
true and magnetic heading, altitude, body angular rates, time tags, and universal time coordinated synchronized
time pulses. There are two EGI systems, EGI No. 1 is generally controlled by the pilot and EGI No. 2 by the
copilot.
2-26. The Low Power Color Radar (LPCR) operates in the X-band with a center frequency of 9375 MHz, a
nominal peak operating power of 150 watts, and an average operating power of 11 watts or less. The slotted,
flat plate array antenna enables the radar to use active beam shaping and monopulse resolution improvement.
2-27. The Traffic Alert And Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) provides the flight crew with aural and visual
advisories to alert them of potential collision. The advisories are of varying levels and priorities. There are two
types of advisories; Traffic Advisories (TA) and Resolution Advisories (RA). The TA display alerts the flight crew
to the relative position of nearby aircraft that are, or could become, collision threats.
2-28. The equipment V/UHF Direction Finder (V/UHF DF) system is a relative bearing finder used in con-
junction with the No. 1 V/UHF communication system. The equipment provides DF capability in the frequency
range of 100.0 MHz to 399.5 MHz. The relative bearing information is displayed by the No. 1 bearing pointer on
the pilot’s and copilot’s Primary Flight Displays (PFD). The system only operates when ADF is selected on the
No. 1 V/UHF communication system and no interphone station is attempting to use V/UHF communications.
Control of the equipment V/UHF direction finder system is through the Communication/ Navigation/ Identification
Management System (CNI-MS) and the Single Avionics Management Unit (SAMU).
2-29. The advanced digital TACAN system is a polar coordinate navigation system used to determine the rel-
ative bearing and/or slant-range distance, velocity, and time-to-go to a TACAN ground station (surface beacon)
or cooperating aircraft transmitting bearing and/or distance information. The TACAN system does not produce
and transmit bearing information. Only distance information is supplied to an interrogating aircraft. Operating
range of the TACAN system is limited to line-of-sight and depends on the aircraft altitude and type of terrain. The
TACAN system utilizes the MIL-STD-1553B (1553B) data bus for interface between the TACAN receiver-trans-
mitter, mission computer, and Communication/Navigation/ Identification Management System (CNI-MS).
2-30. The Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system provides automatic radar identification of the airplane
when interrogated by surface or airborne radar sets. The system also enables friendly airplanes to identify
themselves apart from other friendly airplanes, and provides a means of transmitting a special code signal,
known as an emergency reply. In addition to identification information, the Mode C and Mode S reply signal
reports the altitude of the airplane. All identification operations are performed using the IFF pages on each
Communication/Navigation/ Identification Management Unit (CNI-MU). IFF Mode 3/A codes also are set via
the Communication/ Navigation Radio Panel (CNRP). The Data Conversion Unit (DCU) interfaces with the Bus
Interface Unit (BIU) for receiving and transmitting messages to and from the Receiver/Transmitter (R/T) and the
Mission Computer (MC).
2-31. The Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) system is a low frequency radio navigation aid that functions as
an automatic direction finder, or as a standard low and medium frequency radio receiver. As a direction finder,
the ADF provides a continuous display on the Primary Flight Display (PFD), of the relative bearing of a received
Radio Frequency (RF) signal. It also provides audio for station identification. As a standard radio receiver,
the ADF provides audio for monitoring the stations transmitting RF signals using Amplitude Modulation (AM) or
Continuous Wave (CW).

nected to the radio communication, radio navigation and identification systems. The location of the antennas is
shown in Figure 2-1.
2-34. CIRCUIT breakers . Applicable Circuit Breaker panel locations are shown in Figure 2-2 .
2-36. The Data system has three Bus Adapter Units (BAU) types function as Remote Terminals (RT) con-
trolled by the MIL-STD-1553B data bus Bus Controller (BC). The BAU provide console lighting control, signal
routing, monitoring of various non-MIL-STD-1553B devices such as relays, valves, and indicators, and com-
munications with ARINC-429 components of the aircraft. The BAU monitor control panel switch positions, test
points (such as contacts and sensors), and report to the mission computer via the MIL-STD-1553B buses.
2-37. The Mission Computers (MC) manage overall control of the airplane systems and displays, store op-
erational and maintenance data, and are the primary information integration equipment for the avionics suite.
Information is collected from the airplane systems and equipment on the 1553B data buses. The data are
processed and redistributed via the same data buses. Video data to be displayed is communicated over the
Transparent Asynchronous Transmit/Receive Interface (TAXI) bus from the low power color radar to the MC. The
MC routes the video and display commands, also by TAXI bus, to the CMDU. The appropriate display symbology
and drive signals are generated by each individual display unit in response to the commands and data from the
MC.
2-38. The Display System provides the pilot and copilot with a relatively simple way to access a large amount
of information. The system consists of five identical six inch by eight inch Color Multi-Purpose Display Units
(CMDU), located in the instrument panel. Two are located in front of the pilot, two are located in front of the
copilot and one is located in the center panel. The data formats to be displayed are controlled via two Single
Avionics Management Units (SAMU). The display information is received by the CMDU from the Mission Com-
puters via the left and right display data buses, and the TAXI bus.
2-40. LOCATION OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. Almost all the components of the electronic systems are
installed in the two electronic compartments, one on the flight compartment and one in the nose. With few
exceptions, the units are mounted on suitable antivibration supports. Electrical connections to the aircraft wiring
are made with connectors and sockets, that usually engage automatically when sliding-in the unit on its bracket.
The control panels are incorporated on the pedestal, consoles and panels accessible to the crew.

SECTION III
3-1. DESCRIPTION
3-2. GENERAL
3-3. The Digital Autopilot/Flight Director System (DA/FD) consists of two Automatic Flight Control Proces-
sors (AFCP) and associated servos for the pitch, roll, and yaw flight surfaces, each connected to a drum and
bracket assemblies to allow for an interface to the flight control system. The DA/FD implements a three-axis,
self-monitored autopilot and two-axis flight director. A separate selectable yaw damper function is provided for
reducing aircraft Dutch Roll effects. The flight directors for each AFCP are automatically synchronized to the
same modes (lateral and vertical). At any given time, one side, pilot or copilot, is in control providing source data
(airspeed, altitude, CDI selection, etc.) to both the pilot and copilot AFCP. The flight director on the non-control-
ling side continues to compute guidance and send steering commands to the applicable Primary Flight Display
(PFD). Selection of the side in control may be performed manually via the PFD menu of the SAMU or automat-
ically by engagement of either autopilot. When an autopilot is engaged, the side in control is always the one
associated with the engaged autopilot. The DA/FD Control Panel, the RSWP, Heading/Course Select Panels,
and the control wheel provide switch control for the DA/FD system.
3-5. DIGITAL AUTOPILOT/FLIGHT DIRECTOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The DA/FD System consists of
a DA/FD Control Panel, two Reference Set/Warning Panels, two Heading Course Select Panels, two Automatic
Flight Control Processors, and three Autopilot Servos (Figure 3-1).
3-6. DA/FD CONTROL PANEL. The DA/FD Control Panel has two sets of lateral mode switches, 1 set
of vertical select switches, two CDI Source select knobs, Vertical Speed Select Knob and the corresponding
display, the Yaw Damper (YD) engage/disengage switch, and Autopilot 1 and Autopilot 2 (AP1 and AP2) en-
gage/disengage switches. Either of the two sets of lateral mode switches can be used to select the lateral mode
for both AFCP flight directors.
3-7. REFERENCE SET/WARNING PANEL. The Reference Set / Warning Panels (RSWP) have Altitude
Reference and minimums select, and the corresponding display, MIN_B / MIN_R select switch for the reference
for the minimums, SPD for Indicated airspeed select and corresponding display, and the BARO Set select and
corresponding display. Also located on these panels are the Master Warning and Master Caution Indicators/re-
set switches.
3-8. HEADING/COURSE SELECT PANEL. The Heading/Course Select Panels are used to set the heading
marker and course indicator arrow. The heading marker and course indicator arrow are displayed on the HSI
portion of the PFD. Depressing the switch knob sets the corresponding markers to the lubber line, provided the
Mission Computer (MC) has a valid reference from the CNI System.
3-9. AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL PROCESSOR. The AFCP is the main processor for the DA/FD. It
contains the software and hardware necessary to convert pilot control panel inputs, aircraft parameters, analog
inputs and MIL-STD-1553B data into servo and steering commands to maneuver the aircraft. Each AFCP in-
cludes two MIL-STD-1750A processors running at 20 MHz and a MIL-STD-1553B interface used as a remote
3-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
terminal. The processors within each AFCP receive the same information and monitor each other for any con-
flicts.
3-10. AUTOPILOT SERVO. The rudder, aileron, and elevator servos are DC permanent magnet motors
driven by the AFCP based on crew selections from the autopilot control panel. Servo position and rate are re-
turned to the AFCP from the servos to close the servo loop and monitor servo performance. Each servomotor
has an electro-magnetic clutch, which is used to connect the servomotor to the output spline. The DC electrical
power is supplied to the high side of the clutches and the controlling AFCP asserts the return side to either
engage or disengage the clutches. Rudder, aileron, and elevator servo drum and bracket assemblies provide
the electromechanical interface between the DA/FD system and the flight control system.
3-12. GENERAL. The DA/FD modes are used to provide flight guidance and control to maintain selected
aircraft attitude, navigation, and flight performance. The DA/FD flight director modes are determined by switches
on the DA/FD Control Panel. When the autopilot on the same side, either pilot or copilot, has been engaged,
that Flight Director is the controlling Flight Director.
3-13. FLIGHT DIRECTOR. The flight directors can be used to setup guidance cues to external reference
sources based on the mode selections made at the DA/FD Control Panel. Both flight directors are always syn-
chronized to the same modes and compute flight guidance for display on the respective PFD. The reference
sources used to compute this guidance are dependent on the side (pilot or copilot) in control. If the pilot side
is in control, the pilot selected sources are used by both flight directors to compute guidance. In this case, the
copilot flight director is displayed on the PFD using offside symbology. Similarly, if the copilot side is in con-
trol, the copilot selected sources are used by both flight directors and the pilot PFD symbology indicates that
the offside (copilot) sources are in control. Guidance inputs from these selected reference sources are routed
from the Communication Navigation Identification - Management System (CNI-MS), through the MC and to the
AFCP where they are modified based on the embedded aircraft control laws before being routed back to the
MC for display on the PFD. These cues consist of steering bars, symbology, and annunciations. The ON legend
illumination is associated with the AFCP becoming active in the selected mode rather than pressing the mode
pushbutton. Listed and described below are the selectable flight director modes at the DA/FD Control Panel
and the control wheel button for the Go-Around.
3-14. COURSE DEVIATION INDICATION Source Select. The CDI Select knob is used for selecting the
Navigation Source. This allows the VOR 1, VOR 2, INAV, TACAN 1, and TACAN 2 frequencies to be selected to
pass through to the AFCP for the flight director to capture. The frequencies and the flight plan are set using the
CNI MU. The frequency source for the Navigation pointers is selected using the Single Avionics Management
Unit (SAMU).
3-15. ALTITUDE HOLD MODE. The ALT hold switch engages the altitude hold mode of the DA/FD at the
altitude existing at the time of engagement and illuminates the ON legend. The ALT hold ON legend will also
illuminate after initiation of the altitude capture/round-out when the DA/FD is under the control of ALTITUDE
Select, indicating acquisition of the selected altitude has begun. When the APPR switch is selected and a
glideslope capture occurs, the ALT switch ON legend goes off. If either the VS or IAS switch is depressed when
the ALT hold mode is engaged, the altitude hold mode will automatically disengage and the DA/FD will transition
into the selected mode. In Flight Director only mode, deviation of more than 1000 feet from the selected altitude
deselects the altitude hold function.
3-16. ALTITUDE SELECT MODE. The Altitude Select is always armed. Once an altitude reference is se-
lected and is displayed in the ALTITUDE Display on the RSWP, the aircraft must be in the proper pitch config-
uration. This can be done in the flight director by manually putting the aircraft in a pitch up or pitch down to
correspond with the new altitude reference. An altitude capture criteria is developed based on altitude error
from selected altitude and aircraft altitude change rate. The altitude capture criteria is used to initiate the alti-
tude capture roundout. VS or IAS mode can be engaged at the same time altitude select is enabled and will
automatically disengage when entering the altitude capture roundout maneuver. When in the APPR mode, the
ALTITUDE Select Capture may be enabled until glideslope capture occurs, then the ALTITUDE Select Capture
will disengage and be locked out. When ALTITUDE Select Capture is engaged, the altitude capture mode is
armed. The initial climb/dive is manually established, then upon reaching the altitude capture point, an altitude
3-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
capture command is combined with the inner loop attitude and attitude rate to generate the command to cap-
ture the selected altitude. The capture point and altitude capture commands are based on altitude error (the
difference between selected and actual barometric altitude) and altitude rate. An integrator is used to eliminate
long-term altitude offsets. Upon reaching a predetermined ratio of altitude error and altitude rate, the pitch com-
mand control switches to the altitude hold mode.
3-17. HEADING SELECT MODE. The HDG (heading select) switch generates a command to track the head-
ing set marker and illuminates the ON legend. The heading mode is compatible with NAV and APPR modes.
However, when the navigation or localizer mode selected enters its capture phase, the HDG mode is automati-
cally disengaged. If already in the NAV or APPR mode, selecting HDG will disengage the NAV mode and initiate
transition to the HDG mode. Heading error roll commands are combined with the inner loop attitude and attitude
rate to generate the servo command to capture selected heading. During this mode, the heading command is
based on difference between selected and current heading.
3-18. NAVIGATION MODE. The NAV switch arms the lateral navigation mode (NAV Systems, VOR, local-
izer, and TACAN) of the flight director and illuminates the ON legend. If the HDG switch was selected prior to
NAV, the flight director remains in that mode until the aircraft enters the lateral course capture zone, at which
time the HDG switch disengages and the flight director commands capture of course and track. Selecting the
HDG mode when the NAV mode is selected will disengage the NAV mode. If NAV mode is engaged and APPR
switch is pressed, the NAV switch will disengage and the approach mode arms. In the NAV mode, VOR, TACAN,
or CNI-MS roll commands are combined with the inner loop attitude and attitude rate to generate the servo com-
mand to capture and track a VOR or TACAN radial. During the capture phase, the command is based on course
error and VOR or TACAN deviation. The capture point is determined based on deviation, course error, and de-
viation rate. An integrator is used to replace washout course error for cross wind conditions during track. When
over the navigation aid, the current selected course is held until exiting the zone of confusion directly over the
navigation aid antenna.
COURSE DEVIATION INDICATION. The CDI Select knob is used for selecting the Navigation Source. This
allows the VOR 1, VOR 2, INAV, TACAN 1, TACAN 2, MLS 1, and MLS 2 frequencies to be selected to pass
through to the AFCP for the flight director to capture. The frequencies and the flight plan are set using the CNI
MU. The frequency source for the Navigation pointers is selected using the SAMU.
3-19. APPROACH MODE. The APPR switch actuation causes the ON legend to illuminate, arming the ap-
proach mode in the flight director and allowing the AFCP to generate steering signals to track the glideslope
beam. If the NAV mode is engaged, actuation of the APPR switch will automatically disengage the NAV mode.
The flight director remains in localizer capture mode until the aircraft is within the glideslope capture zone, at
which time the AFCP commands glideslope capture and track, as well as localizer track. If the HDG switch was
selected prior to APPR, the flight director remains in heading select mode until the aircraft enters the glideslope
capture zone, at which time the HDG switch disengages and the flight director commands capture and track.
Once the flight director has engaged and captured in the APPR mode, attempting to select any FD mode other
than Go-Around will be ignored by the mode logic within the controlling AFCP. To deselect the APPR mode
requires that the APPR/ON switch on the DA/FD Control Panel be pressed again.
3-20. BACKCOURSE MODE. Backcourse is a non-precision supplementary approach mode used when at-
tempting to land the aircraft 180 degrees out of the normal approach pattern to a runway. The BACK switch
actuation causes the ON legend to illuminate when this approach mode is armed in the flight director allowing
the AFCP to generate steering signals to track the ILS/MLS. Any prior HDG or NAV modes engaged are au-
tomatically disengaged when the BACK mode is selected. The flight director performs localizer capture mode
only and glideslope capture is inhibited. Once the flight director has engaged and captured in the BACK mode,
attempting to select any FD mode other than HDG or Go-Around will be ignored by the mode logic within the
controlling AFCP. To deselect the BACK mode requires that the BACK switch on the DA/FD Control Panel be
pressed again.
3-21. VERTICAL SPEED HOLD/ADJUST MODE. The VS switch engages the VS hold mode and illuminates
the ON legend. At the same time, the VERTICAL SPEED display on the DAFD panel is activated and set to the
vertical speed existing at the time of engagement to the nearest 100 fpm. When engaged,the autopilot controls
pitch attitude to maintain the vertical speed at the time of engagement. To change the current vertical speed
or initiate a climb or dive from level flight, the commanded vertical speed can be adjusted in increments of 100
fpm using the VERTICAL SPEED control knob on the DAFD panel. The autopilot will initiate a pitch manuever
to capture the commanded vertical speed. The accuracy at which the autopilot can capture or maintain the new
3-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
vertical speed is dependent upon the flight crew manually setting the throttles to maintain a constant airspeed
sufficient to perform the manuever. The VS mode is compatible with ALTITUDE Select Capture, but will auto-
matically disengage upon entering the altitude capture round-out phase of ALTITUDE Select Capture. When
VS mode is not engaged, the VERTICAL SPEED display on the DAFD panel is extinguished.
3-22. INDICATED AIRSPEED MODE. The IAS switch, when actuated, places the flight director in the speed
on pitch mode and illuminates the ON legend. The flight director gives commands to the pilot for the aircraft
to maintain the airspeed selected on the RSWP and will maintain the speed by varying the pitch attitude of the
aircraft. This mode also is compatible with ALTITUDE Select Capture, but will automatically disengage upon
entering the altitude capture round-out phase of ALTITUDE Select Capture. Upon initial engagement of the SPD
mode, the reference airspeed will be synchronized to the current airspeed to prevent transients. Subsequent
adjustments to that commanded airspeed will be permitted through the RSWP. A pitch command is combined
with the inner loop attitude and attitude rate to generate the servo command to hold indicated airspeed. The
IAS hold/adjust command is based on the difference between the selected indicated airspeed and the actual
indicated airspeed.
3-23. GO AROUND. The Go-Around mode can be selected by temporarily depressing the Go-Around button
on either the pilot or copilot control wheel. When engaged, this mode will disengage any existing lateral and/or
vertical FD mode, or any engaged autopilot mode. The PFD will display a GO ARND annunciation in the upper
right corner and the Flight Director Guidance ball and pitch steering bar will display a pitch up command of 7.5
degrees. The Go-Around vertical command is limited to not less than +1.2 degrees vertical flight path angle. In
addition, lateral guidance is provided in the form of a wings level cue. The Go-Around mode can be deselected
by again depressing the Go-Around button on either the pilot or copilot control wheel or by selecting a vertical
FD mode. Once deactivated, all other DA/FD modes are now selectable.
3-24. AUTOPILOT MODES These are the most basic modes of the autopilot function whereby either pilot
enables the autopilot function to control the relative flight path of the aircraft. Input settings are primarily from
the RSWP, DA/FD Control Panel, Heading/Course Select Panels and control wheels. Aircraft performance data
from the DADS and EGI selected by each pilot at their SAMU are used by the engaged autopilot as feedback
for keeping the aircraft on course.
3-25. YAW DAMPER. The Yaw Damper is a part of the autopilot function that can be independently selected
without engaging an autopilot. The Yaw Damper (YD) mode is used to dampen the dutch roll and control side slip
effects. The YD mode is selected by depressing the YD switch onthe DA/FD Control Panel. The MC alternate
the selection of which AFCP is in control of the Yaw Damper function. If either AFCP fails to engage, the MC will
annunciate this as a failure of that LRU. Depressing the YD switch again will now route the request to the other
AFCP. Both pilot and copilot PFD will display a YD ON annunciation in the upper left corner regardless which
AFCP has engaged.
3-26. AUTOPILOT. With no flight director modes established, selecting an autopilot will result in it engaging
in one of two default autopilot only modes. They are, Pitch Attitude and Heading Hold mode or Pitch and Roll
Attitude Hold mode. These modes are based on the aircraft flight conditions at the time of autopilot engagement.
If the aircraft is in level flight conditions, with a bank angle of less than 6 degrees from wings level, the autopilot
will default into Heading Hold. If bank angle is equal to or greater than 6 degrees, the autopilot will default into
Roll Attitude Hold. For the basic autopilot only modes, either annunciation, depending on which autopilot has
been selected, will be displayed in the upper left corner the PFD. The lateral default mode can be inferred from
the orientation of the Climb/Dive Marker on the PFD, both pilot control wheels, and the corresponding roll angle
scale indication on the PFD. The YD function is always active whenever an autopilot is engaged. If the YD
mode is selected at the time of autopilot engagement, the YD annunciation will extinguish, replaced with either
annunciation depending on which autopilot has been selected. No additional mode annunciation indicates that
an autopilot only mode is established.
3-27. TOUCH CONTROL STEERING. Touch Control Steering mode provides either pilot with a means of
adjusting the aircraft pitch and roll attitudes manually through pilot control inputs without disengaging the autopi-
lot system. When the TCS button on either control wheel is depressed, the engaged autopilot will de-clutch the
pitch and roll servomotors. The TCS annunciation appears in the upper right hand portion of the pilot and copilot
PFD during the time that the TCS button is depressed and the autopilot is de-clutched. The pilot in control can
now manually fly the aircraft in pitch and roll. While the TCS button is depressed, the autopilot continuously syn-
chronizes the pitch and roll references to the current aircraft pitch and roll attitudes. The autopilot will maintain
3-4
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
the pitch and roll reference attitudes that the aircraft is in when the pilot releases the TCS button, provided they
meet the engagement criteria; otherwise the autopilot will disengage as soon as the TCS button is released.
If the engagement criteria are met, the autopilot will re-clutch the servos, establishing pitch attitude hold with
either heading hold or roll attitude hold based on these new pitch and roll references. When the TCS button is
depressed, the aircraft may be flown outside the autopilot engagement limits without the autopilot disengaging.
3-29. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING.Equipment failures detected by BIT are flagged to the mis-
sion computers via the 1553B Comm/Nav Bus and the CNI-SP. The mission computers generate an ACAWS
message and direct the ICS-CSU to output an advisory audio tone to the flight station headsets and cockpit
loudspeakers indicating an advisory message. An ACAWS text message is also generated and displayed on
the ACAWS display.
3-30. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS message.
3-31. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The power required for the DA/FD system operation is 28 VDC and 115
VAC, 400 Hz single phase. The AFCP does not have a power switch. When power is applied to the aircraft, and
circuit breakers are closed, the AFCP has power. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses.

SECTION IV
4-1. DESCRIPTION
4-2. GENERAL
4-3. The ARC-210 Very High Frequency/Ultra High frequency (V/UHF) radio communication system is one
functional element of the voice communications, radio navigation, and aircraft identification and surveillance
capability, commonly referred to as the Communications Navigation Identification (CNI) system. Integration
and automated functionality for these CNI system elements is provided through the CNI Management System
(CNI-MS). The CNI-MS interfaces with the voice communications system through the MIL-STD-1553B data bus
and provides automatic frequency tuning and mode control of the communication radios and radio navigation
aids. The V/UHF communication system includes the following functions and capabilities:
4-5. VERY HIGH FREQUENCY/ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The V/UHF sys-
tem consists of two receiver transmitters, two mounting trays, four antennas, a Radio Set Control Panel, Logic
Control Unit, two filters, two Radio Frequency (RF) switches, and a battery (Figure 4-1).
4-6. RECEIVER TRANSMITTER. The Receiver Transmitter (RT) operates in the 30 MHz to 399.985 MHz
communication frequency bands with selectable 25 kHz spacing between channels or 8.33 kHz channel spacing
for air traffic control operation between 118 MHz and 135 MHz. Frequency selection and the configuration of
the system is controlled through the menu driven CNI Management Unit [CNI-MU ] or the Communications
Navigation Radio Panel (CNRP).
4-7. MOUNTING TRAY. A vibration-dampened mounting platform to attach the V/UHF transceiver unit to
the aircraft. Provides 28 V dc power through the mounting tray to the V/UHF transceiver unit.
4-8. ANTENNA. Four fuselage-mounted, high gain tunable blade antennas provides continuous frequency
coverage from 30-400 MHz. Allows VHF, UHF and L-Band signal reception and transmission.
4-9. RADIO SET CONTROL PANEL. The Radio Set Control Panel (RSCP) provides emergency backup
control for the V/UHF radios in the event of CNI-MU or Comm-Nav 1553B data bus failure. Provides manual
operator interface to the AN/ARC-210 V/UHF radio for frequency, channel and operating mode selection, as well
as BIT function initiation and readouts, and audio volume level control. A liquid crystal display provides visual
output of ARC-210 radio system information.
4-10. LOGIC CONTROL UNIT. The Logic Control Unit (LCU) Interfaces between the radio V/UHF RT unit
and the antenna. Converts the digital radio RT output signals into proper antenna tuning drive codes. Allows
4-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
impedance matching of the antenna to the radio RT input/output signals over selected portions of the commu-
nications frequency band.
4-11. LOW PASS FILTER. The Low Pass Filter (LPF) prevents TACAN navigation radio signals from being
received or transmitted through the shared TACAN and V/UHF Comm Radio antennas, and from causing inter-
ference with the V/UHF voice communications signal processing in the V/UHF RT No. 1 or No. 2. There is one
LPF in each RT antenna lead prior to the RF transfer switch.
4-12. SINGLE POLE CROSSOVER SWITCH. Enables the pilot/copilot to switch logic control and RF trans-
mission/reception between the Upper and Lower V/UHF Antennas for V/UHF System No. 1.
4-13. DOUBLE POLE CROSSOVER SWITCH. Enables the pilot/copilot to switch logic control and RF trans-
mission/reception between the Upper and Lower V/UHF Antennas for V/UHF System No. 2.
4-14. BATTERY. The battery is used to maintain memory in the microprocessor in the V/UHF RT. The battery
is not intended to be replaced in the field.
4-16. GENERAL. System provides two-way AM and FM voice radio communications utilizing the combined
V/UHF communications equipment. The radio provides short and medium-range “clear” voice transmission
and reception over VHF and UHF Guard frequencies utilizing separate dedicated Guard receivers. A “keying”
capability is also provided on all voice communications radios using any of the Press-To-Transmit (PTT) switches
or microphone buttons. Keying provides an unmodulated carrier wave signal that can be used to signal remote
unmanned control facility sites or equipment or as a means of signaling a ground or airborne homing vectoring
system. In addition, an Automatic Direction Finding (ADF) mode of operation is incorporated into the V/UHF
radio No. 1 to provide a homing navigation capability to a transmitting radio site (Figure 4-2).
4-17. Preset channels or manually tuned frequencies can be input to the V/UHF radios through the CNI-MU
or CNRP, or they can be software-uploaded. The voice communications equipment can be used under any
operational and environmental conditions and is typically used to communicate with the following organizations:
4-18. There are two combination V/UHF and L-Band tunable blade antennas for each of the V/UHF radios,
one upper antenna and one lower antenna. The V/UHF No. 1 radio system shares its two antennas with TACAN
system No. 1. The V/UHF No. 2 system shares its two antennas with TACAN system No. 2. A high pass filter is
installed between each of the TACAN systems and the antenna to prevent radio voice communications signals
being transmitted or received through the shared antenna from interfering with TACAN navigation signals.
4-19. Normal operation and control of the V/UHF radios is accomplished by means of pilot-selected inputs
to either the two CNI-MU or the CNRP. Radio selection, power on/off, mode control, and the flight crew through
data inputs to these CNI systems interfaces accomplishes frequency management. Radio operating frequencies
can be set either manually or by selecting one of up to 40 permanently-stored preset radio channels. Preset
channels can be loaded or changed manually via the 1553B data bus using the CNI-MU or CNRP or by means
of the preflight data uploading using the Dual Slotted Data Transfer System.
4-20. Either one of the CNI-MU will accomplish normal tuning and control of the V/UHF communication
radios. Pressing the COMM TUNE MODE KEY on the CNI-MU , accesses the COMM TUNE INDEX menu
page. All communications radios can be tuned directly from this page. Line Select Keys prompt the operator
to other menu pages that permit detailed control of each installed radio by branching to specific COMM TUNE
menu pages.
4-21. Once the radios have been turned on and tuned to the desired frequency using the CNI-MU or CNRP,
the operator can transmit on the V/UHF radio by selecting the desired radio (VU1 or VU2) with the XMIT Select
4-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
Switch on the Intercommunications System (ICS) control panel. Reception of V/UHF radio signals over each
crewmember’s headset is controlled using the monitor buttons on the ICS control panel at each crew station.
The pilot or copilot initiates a radio transmission by keying the INT/RADIO rocker switch on either the control
wheel or the ICS control panel to the RADIO position and speaking into the headset microphone. The audio
signal is routed through the Headset Interface Units (HIU) or the Modified HIU (MHIU), across the data bus,
and then to the ICS Central Switching Unit (CSU) for processing. In the V/UHF-1 system, the audio signal is
also sent from the MHIU or HIU directly to the V/UHF-1 RT and RSCP in order to provide a backup signal for
operation of the V/UHF-1 radio in the event of an ICS-CSU failure. From the ICS-CSU, the analog audio signal
is then sent to the V/UHF radio transceiver, where it is combined with an amplified and modulated RF signal for
broadcast. The combined signal is routed to the RF Transfer switch through the Low Pass Filter, and is radiated
via the selected V/UHF antenna. The LCU interfaces between the V/UHF RT and the antenna and converts the
digital radio frequency output signals into proper antenna tuning drive codes by changing the impedance of the
antenna, based on the RT frequency tune signal. The LCU provides a means to electrically tune the antenna to
a selected frequency.
4-22. The antenna select switch is found on one of the menu pages in the CNRP. The switch has 3 positions
- Upper, Lower, and Auto. Selection of the most appropriate antenna for transmission is done automatically
by the antenna logic unit when the pilot selects the AUTO setting. The pilot can manually select the desired
antenna (either upper or lower) by selecting UPPER or LOWER with the antenna select switch. Radio control
inputs entered by the flight crew into the CNI-MU are processed by the CNI-SP that generates the appropriate
data words to be sent to the selected radio via the 1553B Comm/Nav data bus. These data words are read
and interpreted by the 1553B interface circuit card assembly in the V/UHF radio RT unit and sent to the RT mi-
croprocessor for execution. Control transfer and status flag output signals are then generated by the processor
and sent back to the Interface interface circuit card for downloading onto the 1553B Comm/Nav bus. These
output signals are routed back to the CNI-SP for processing and display on the CNI-MU. As an alternative to
the CNI-MU , frequency-tuning commands can be input through the CNRP. These tuning command signals are
sent to the mission computer on the 1553B PANEL Bus and are then relayed to the selected V/UHF radio RT
via the 1553B Comm/Nav bus. The RT processes these signals to control radio functions and returns frequency
confirmation and status information back to the CNRP for display. The status of the V/UHF radio operation and
settings can be viewed using any of the displays on the CNI-MU , CNRP, RSCP or the Single Avionics Man-
agement Unit (SAMU). Audio signals for the V/UHF radio are routed through the ICS-CSU to the MHIU from
the pilot, copilot or forward loadmaster positions or the Headset Interface Unit (HIU) from the observer and aft
loadmaster positions, to permit V/UHF radio reception and transmission from any of the crew ICS stations on
the aircraft.
4-23. BACKUP VOICE COMMUNICATIONS. The RSCP is integrated into the AN/ARC-210 V/UHF-1 Radio
Set. The RSCP provides an emergency backup communications function that allows both the pilot and copilot
to receive and transmit VHF and UHF radio communications using the V/UHF No. 1 radio in the event of an
ICS-CSU failure. The RSCP also provides the flight crew with a backup means of tuning and controlling the
V/UHF No. 1 radio in the event of a dual CNI-SP, dual CNI-MU , or 1553B data bus failure. The RSCP provides
for frequency tuning and operating mode control for the V/UHF No. 1 radio, permits BIT function initiation and
provides a visual readout of internal BIT results by means of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The RSCP is located
on the pilot’s side center console and is hard-wired directly to the V/UHF No. 1 radio. This RSCP hard-wire
connection enables the pilot, copilot, and forward loadmaster to transmit and receive V/UHF voice communica-
tions through MHIU when the backup mode is selected with the BACKUP switch. This provide emergency “Hot
Mic” interphone communications between the pilot, copilot, and forward loadmaster in the event of an ICS-CSU
failure. The RSCP can be operated using either preset frequency channels or manually set frequencies. When
the RSCP is placed in the OFF position, the LCD display on the RSCP is still functional, providing a display of
the preset channel or operating frequency currently set into the V/UHF No. 1 radio.
4-24. FILL PORT. The Fill Port panel is located at the right side of the cargo compartment and allows V/UHF
codes to be loaded remotely.

4-25. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of BIT performed by the V/UHF Com-
munication system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power
is applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the power
up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
4-26. An IBIT is also incorporated into the RSCP. The BIT results are displayed on the RSCP. The IBIT is
initiated by rotating the Operational Mode Selector Switch on the RSCP to a position other than the OFF position.
4-27. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates the following ACAWS
messages:
4-28. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses.

SECTION V
5-1. DESCRIPTION
5-2. GENERAL
5-3. The High frequency (HF) radio communication system is one functional element of the voice commu-
nications, radio navigation, and aircraft identification and surveillance capability, commonly referred to as the
Communications Navigation Identification Identification (CNI) system. Integration and automated functionality
for these CNI system elements is provided through the CNI Management System (CNI-MS). The CNI-MS inter-
faces with the voice communications system through the MIL-STD-1553B data buses and provides automatic
frequency tuning and mode control of the communication radios and radio navigation aids. The HF system is
made up of two Transeivers, two Mounting Trays, two Antenna Couplers, and two Antennas. The transeivers
provide reception and transmission of the HF communications and are located in the aft cargo compartment im-
mediately under the vertical stabilizer. The antenna couplers automatically tune to provide the best impedance
match between the transeiver and the antenna. The couplers are installed in the immediate vicinity of the an-
tennas. The inductive loop antennas are located adjacent to the vertical stabilizer on the left and right sides of
the upper fuselage.
5-5. HIGH FREQUENCY SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The HF system consists of two transeivers, two
mounting trays, two antenna couplers, and two antennas (Figure 5-1).
5-6. TRANSEIVER. The HF Transeiver provides clear, long range voice communications with HF opera-
tional capability from 2.0000 to 29.9999 MHz in 100 Hz steps. Operating modes include Upper Sideband (USB)
voice or data, Lower Sideband (LSB) voice or data, Continuous Wave (CW), and Amplitude Modulation Equiv-
alent (AME) modes. Frequency selection and the configuration of the system is controlled through the menu
driven CNI Management Unit [CNI-MU ] or the Communications Navigation Radio Panel (CNRP).
5-7. MOUNTING TRAY. A vibration-dampened mounting platform to attach the HF transeiver unit to the
aircraft shelf. Power to the transeiver and Antenna Coupler is routed through the Mounting tray.
5-8. ANTENNA COUPLER. The Antenna Coupler provides for impedance matching between the Tran-
seiver and its antenna.
5-9. ANTENNA. Two inductive loop antennas are located on the fuselage adjacent to the left and right sides
of the vertical stabilizer.
5-11. GENERAL. (Figure 5-2) Control for the HF radio is established via the 1553B data buses using the
CNI-MU or the CNRP. The CNI-MU is used to turn the HF radio on/off, set manual and preset frequencies,
select radio operating modes and to zeroize functions. The CNRP provides an alternate, more easily accessible
means of tuning and controlling the HF radio but it cannot be used to turn the HF radio off. The status of the
5-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
HF radio operation and/or settings can be viewed using the displays on the CNI-MU , the CNRP, or the SAMU.
Audio signals for the HF radio are routed through the ICS-CSU to permit HF radio reception from any of the crew
ICS stations on the aircraft. HF radio transmissions are limited to the flight crew only. The volume and squelch
levels for the HF, V/UHF and ICS systems is preset by the ICS-CSU, however, the volume for each headset can
be individually adjusted by using the volume control knob on the ICS-Control Panel.
5-12. The CNI-MU provides the primary crew interface with the CNI-MS to control HF radio communications.
The CNI-MU allow the flight crew to turn the HF radio on/off, select the operational mode and configuration of
the radio, control frequency tuning, and set the squelch levels for the HF receiver. The CNI-MU are located in
the FWD Center Console, providing easy access to the both pilots for rapid selection and tuning of the radios
using the CNI-MU menu pages. Normal tuning and control of the HF communication radio is accomplished
either one of the CNI-MU. Pressing the COMM TUNE MODE KEY, located under the bottom left corner of the
CNI-MU display, accesses the COMM TUNE INDEX menu page. All communications radios can be tuned di-
rectly from this page. Line Select Keys prompt the operator to other menu pages that permit detailed control of
each installed radio by branching to specific COMM TUNE menu pages.
5-13. The first column of the COMM TUNE INDEX menu page lists icons for the available communications
radios; where H1 is the HF-1 radio, and H2 is the HF-2 radio. Each radio utilizes two lines on the display page.
The line directly adjacent to the Line Select Key displays the commanded radio tuning information. The line
directly below it displays the previously commanded radio tuning information. Column 2 displays the station
identifier for the preset channel and frequency displayed in Columns 3 and 4, respectively. If a frequency se-
lection has been made where no channel exists, then Column 2 for that radio will be blank. If the HF radio is
unavailable or powered off, then the HF radio icon will be displayed in small font and Column 2 displays off, also
in small font. The Line Select Keys on the left of the COMM TUNE INDEX page call up a separate COMM TUNE
page the HF.
5-14. The single CNRP is located in the center console, just forward of the throttles, to permit access by
both pilots. When the COMM function button is depressed, the COMM 1/2 radio menu page appears on the
CNRP display. Column 1 on the COMM MENU page displays the icons for the available communications radios,
VU1, VU2, H1, and H2. Column 2 displays the preset channel and frequency tuned into each of the respective
radios. In Column 3, bottom right-hand corner of the display, is the current setting and Mode status for the IFF
Transponder. If a radio is turned off, the word "OFF" appears adjacent to the radio icon. When tuning the HF
radio using the CNRP, it is not necessary to enter the decimal point in the frequency number. The frequency
number will be shown left justified on the scratchpad as each digit is entered and the decimal point will be
automatically placed after the second digit for HF frequencies. After a COMM frequency has been changed,
the previous frequency is stored in memory and can be recalled by pressing the line select key a second time.
These two frequencies are swapped between memory and the display each time the Line Select Key is pressed.
If a COMM frequency or a preset channel is inserted into a radio that is turned off, the radio is automatically
turned on and set to the appropriate frequency/channel.
5-15. FILL PORT. The Fill Port panel is located at the right side of the cargo compartment and allows HF
codes to be loaded remotely.
5-16. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of BIT performed by the HF Commu-
nication system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is
applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the
power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
5-17. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS caution
message HF 1/2 FAIL.
5-18. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses:

SECTION VI
6-1. DESCRIPTION
6-2. GENERAL
6-3. The Public Address (PA) System provides one-way communications between the flight crew and pas-
sengers in the cargo compartment through five loudspeakers located throughout the cargo compartment. The
PA system enables the flight crew to broadcast radio communications from the HF or V/UHF radios to the aft
cargo compartment or to transmit voice interphone messages or instructions to personnel located in these ar-
eas during normal or emergency situations. The PA system is controlled using the PA Control Menu Page on
the CNI-MU to direct external sources of audio, such as radios, to the PA and cockpit speakers, and by the ICS
Control Panels (ICS-CP) for normal operation. Microphone connections to the PA system are provided to each
crewmember through the Headset Interface Units (HIUs) and ICS headset microphone. Audio signals are am-
plified for PA system broadcasting by the PA system Power Amplifier, located in the overhead equipment rack.
6-5. PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The PA System consists of the Power Amplifier and
five Loudspeakers (Figure 6-1).
6-6. POWER AMPLIFIER. Used to increase the strength of the audio signals being received from the ICS-
CSU. The amplifier is located in the overhead equipment rack in the cargo compartment.
6-7. LOUDSPEAKERS. All five speakers are mounted overhead in the cargo compartment; two are located
in the forward cargo bay, two are located in the center-aft cargo bay aft of the wings and one is located center
aft cargo bay.
6-9. GENERAL. Crew-members can broadcast voice messages through the PA system from any of the
five crewmember ICS-CP by placing the Transmit Selector switch on the ICS-CP in the PA position. The volume
level of the broadcast signal from the power amplifier is adjusted by rotating the PA GAIN knob to midrange. The
operator then depresses and holds the INT/RADIO key switch on the ICS-CP in the RADIO position and speaks
into the headset microphone. The audio signal passes through the Headset Interface Unit to the ICS-CSU for
processing and is then transferred to the PA system power amplifier for amplification and distribution to the five
loudspeakers. Each crewmember can elect to monitor the interphone or radio communications being broadcast
over the PA system through his headset by pulling out the PA push-pull monitor knob on the ICS-CP (Figure
6-2).

SECTION VII
INTERCOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
7-1. DESCRIPTION
7-2. GENERAL
7-3. The function of the Intercommunications System (ICS) is to provide on-board voice interphone com-
munication between all crewmembers on the aircraft and also functions as the integrating system and distribution
gateway for all audio and voice communications signals being received from various aircraft equipment. The
Central Switching Unit distributes these signals to individual crewmember’s headsets based on the ICS Control
Panel and ICS Monitor Panel settings selected. The ICS provides each crewmember with the ability to interface
with and control the HF and V/UHF radios for external voice communications. The ICS functions for internal
voice communications and the Public Address system function is for internal broadcast communications.
7-6. CENTRAL SWITCHING UNIT. The ICS Central Switching Unit (ICS-CSU) performs the central pro-
cessing function for the voice communications system. Processes audio and discrete input/output signals and
provides serial bus interfaces, 1553B data bus communications, and BIT functions. Transfers audio signals to
the PA power amplifier and cockpit speakers. Converts analog audio, and discrete signals into digital information
for amplification, mixing and control. The resultant digital information is then sent to the MHIU and HIU or is
reconverted into analog, audio and discrete signals for use by the external communications system equipment.
7-7. MOUNTING TRAY. A vibration-dampened mounting tray to attaches the ICS-CSU unit to the aircraft
avionics equipment rack. Provides 28 V dc power through the mounting tray to the CSU.
7-8. CONTROL PANEL. ICS Control Panels (ICS-CP) are located in three flight station locations and two
cargo compartment locations. They provide crewmembers control over the transmission and reception of voice
messages via the intercommunications system or external communications radios. An ICS-CP is installed at
every crewmember ICS communications station. The ICS-CP contains a function selector switch, a transmit
selector switch, a volume control, a VOX sensitivity control, a PA gain control, an interphone/radio key select
switch, and 11 push-pull monitor switches.
7-9. MONITOR PANEL. ICS - Monitor Panels (ICS-MP) are used to select navigation radios for monitoring
of navaid station identification signals. Also used to adjust audio volume of incoming navaid identification sig-
nals. An ICS-MP is installed adjacent to each ICS Control Panel on the flight deck. Each ICS-MP contains 10
push-pull monitor controls that allow the operator to listen to the various audio tones being transmitted from nav-
igational system radios as identifier signals. A particular communication/navigation signal is available whenever
the associated monitor control is pulled out and the tone signal is within the available audio range.
7-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
7-10. HEADSET INTERFACE UNIT. The Headset Interface Unit (HIU) provides the interface connection
between the headset/microphone units at the loadmaster’s Aft Cargo station and the Observer crew station and
the ICS-CSU. Each HIU has two headset connectors.
7-11. MODIFIED HEADSET INTERFACE UNIT. Modified HIU (MHIU) provides the interface connection be-
tween the headset/microphone units at the Pilots, Copilots and loadmaster Fwd Cargo stations and the ICS-CSU.
Each MHIU has two headset connectors. The pilots MHIU also provides the interface to the ICS-CSU for the
ground crew headset connection in the nose wheel well. The Forward Cargo MHIU provides the interface to the
ICS-CSU for the ground crew headset connection at the Single Point Refueling Panel The MHIUs are HIUs that
were modified to incorporate hardwire connections between the MHIUs to provide a backup ICS “Hot Mic” com-
munications capability between the crewmembers at these stations in the event of an ICS-CSU failure. These
hardwire connections also enable the Copilot and loadmaster (at the Fwd Cargo station) to transmit and receive
radio communications over the V/UHF-1 radio when operating the V/UHF-1 system using the backup Radio Set
Control Panel.
7-12. COCKPIT ALARM SPEAKERS. Converts the audio signals from the ICS-CSU into sound waves for
the broadcast of warning tones, special alerts and voice communication audio signals from the ICS and Voice
Communications systems to the crew in the cockpit in the event of HIU failure.
7-13. SWITCHES. An INTERPHONE/RADIO switch located on the pilot and copilot control wheels provide
the means for keying the selected voice communications radio transceivers or interphone communications for
voice message transmissions. The INTERPHONE/RADIO switch located on the nose wheel steering control
provides the same functions. The HUSH Switches are located on the pilot and copilot control wheels and give
the pilots the ability to silence certain ACAWS aural warning indications.
7-15. GENERAL. The ICS CSU provides a direct interface between the communication radios and the
crewmember’s HIU/MHIU for receiving and transmitting audio voice signals. The ICS-CSU receives crew
control selection information from the ICS CP and ICS-MP via the Mission Computers. These input signals
enable the ICS-CSU to distribute incoming and outgoing radio transmission audio signals to the appropriate
radios and ICS stations per the crew-selected settings on the ICS CP and ICS-MP. Control for the radios is
established via the 1553B data buses using the CNI-MU or the CNRP. The CNI-MU permits the flight crew
to turn the radios on/off, set manual and preset frequencies, select radio operating modes and to zeroize
functions. The CNRP provides the flight crew with an alternate, more easily accessible means of tuning and
controlling the radios but it cannot be used to turn the radios off. The status of the radios operation and/or
settings can be viewed using the displays on the CNI-MU , or the CNRP.
7-16. Audio signals for the radios are routed through the ICS-CSU to permit radio reception from any of the
crew ICS stations on the aircraft. Radio transmissions are limited to the flight crew only. Audio processing in
the radios is identical for all modes of operation. The operator begins the transmission by selecting the desired
radio using the CNI-MU or CNRP, and ensuring that the system is tuned to the desired frequency. Upon keying
the Press To Transmit (PTT) microphone switch and speaking into the headset microphone, the audio is routed
through the HIU to the ICS-CSU for processing. Once processed, the audio signal is sent to the transceiver,
where the signal is summed with an amplified and modulated radio frequency for transmission. The combined
signal is now sent to the antenna and is transmitted.
7-17. Audio volume and squelch levels are set automatically for the entire ICS system by the ICS-CSU.
However, the audio volume level for each individual HIU can be adjusted by each crewmember using the volume
control knob on the ICS Control Panel. Audio signals for the V/UHF radio are routed through the ICS-CSU to
the HIU to permit V/UHF radio reception and transmission from any of the crew ICS stations on the aircraft.
7-18. Once the radios have been turned on and tuned to the desired frequency using the CNI-MU or CNRP,
the operator can transmit on the radio by selecting the desired radio with the XMIT Select Switch on the ICS-CP.
Radio signals reception over each crewmember’s headset is controlled using the monitor buttons on the ICS-CP
at each crew station. The pilot or copilot initiates a radio transmission by keying the INT/RADIO rocker switch
on either the control wheel or the ICS-CP to the RADIO position and speaking into the headset microphone.
The audio signal is routed through the HIUs, across the bus, and then to the ICS-CSU for processing. In the
7-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
V/UHF-1 system, the audio signal is also sent from the HIU directly to the V/UHF-1 Receiver/Transmitter (R/T)
and Radio Set Control (RSC) Panel in order to provide a backup signal for operation of the V/UHF-1 radio in
the event of an ICS-CSU failure. From the ICS-CSU, the analog audio signal is then sent to the V/UHF radio
transceiver, where it is combined with an amplified and modulated radio frequency signal for transmission.
7-19. The PTT switch located on each ICS-CP, is used to key the headset microphone thereby allowing that
crewmember to transmit over either the ICS system or the external communications radios, as determined by
their Transmit Select Switch setting on the ICS-CP. Each pilot is provided an additional INT/RADIO switch on the
control wheel for convenient accessibility and ease of use. Additionally, the pilot can transmit using his control
wheel switch.
7-20. The ICS also interfaces with the aircraft Advisory, Caution & Warning System (ACAWS), navigation
radios, and Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) to provide
audio tones and voice messages. The messages are to the flight crew to alert them to various system failures,
hazards to flight and improper Navaid identification and tuning. These alert tones and voice messages are
routed by the ICS-CSU to the appropriate crewmember headphones based on the settings selected on each
individual ICS-CP and ICS-MP. The ICS-CSU also routes these signals directly to the cockpit alarm speakers
for broadcasting to the flight crew in the event of a pilot or copilot MHIU failure.
7-22. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of BIT performed by the HF Commu-
nication system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is
applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the
power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
7-23. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates the following ACAWS
messages:
7-24. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses.

SECTION VIII
8-1. DESCRIPTION
8-2. GENERAL
8-3. The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) system transmits an emergency signal on three different
frequencies.
8-5. EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The ELT system consists of a
transmitter mounted with a warning buzzer on a panel at the top of the cargo compartment at FS 14464, blade
antenna, two connecting coaxial cables, a reset relay, and remote control switch (Figure 8-1).
8-6. EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER. The transmitter and battery pack are encased in a two
piece tray with an endcap and mounts to the aircraft. The local control ON-OFF switch is integral to the ELT and
is normally kept in the OFF position. The ON position is used for momentary testing and should only be used
under controlled conditions. The ON light indicates the transmitter is transmitting.
8-7. WARNING BUZZER. The aural warning buzzer is mounted on the ELT mounting plate and buzzes
when the ELT is transmitting.
8-8. ANTENNA. The blade antenna is mounted on top center of the fuselage at FS 14584.
8-9. VHF/UHF COAXIAL CABLE. The special VHF/UHF BNC coaxial cable connects the ELT to the blade
antenna.
8-10. UHF COAXIAL CABLE. The special UHF TNC coaxial cable connects the ELT to the blade antenna.
8-11. RESET RELAY. The reset relay resets the ELT to the armed mode when the ELT ON/ARM remote
switch is returned to the armed position or BAU Type II No. 2 resets the ELT after a self-test.
8-12. ELT ON/ARM REMOTE SWITCH. The ELT ON/ARM remote switch is located on the Front Overhead
Control panel (210VE) in the cockpit. This guarded switch is normally in the ARM position with the guard in the
down position. The guard must be raised to move the switch to the ON position for testing.
8-14. GENERAL. The ELT is armed in normal operation, and is activated when the internal impact switch
senses a high g impact. Upon activation, the ELT transmits a standard swept tone on 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz.
These transmissions are to enable search teams to home in on the signal. These frequencies are transmitted
for approximately 50 to 72 hours depending on the condition of the battery. For the first 15 seconds of the trans-
mission, a satellite tracking signal at 406.025 MHz is also transmitted. After the initial 15 second transmission,
at 50 second intervals and for 520 milliseconds each, an encoded 406.025 MHz signal is transmitted giving the
8-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
serial number of the transmitter, the country code, and the manufacturer. At a satellite monitoring center, an
international data base can provide information about the aircraft operator. The satellite transmission can also
be used to compute the geographic coordinates of the location of the ELT. The satellite transmissions from the
ELT last about 24 hours, then shuts down. There is a capacitor installed between the BAU Type I, the ELT, and
ground to prevent interference from HF radio transmissions.
8-15. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The mission computers and Bus Adapter Unit (BAU) Type
I and BAU Type II provide the necessary manual interface and control, Built In Test (BIT), and failure recording
functions for the ELT system. The mission computer monitors the position of the ELT ON/ARM switch on the
overhead panel through the BAU Type I No.1 and the left panel bus. When the switch is moved to the ON posi-
tion, the mission computer commands the ELT to self test through the BAU Type II No. 2 and right avionics bus.
The self test is monitored by the mission computer and a successful test is indicated by the ACAWS advisory
message ELT TRANSMITTING on the color multifunction display unit (CMDU) and with the buzzer operating. A
test failure will display an ACAWS advisory message ELT FAIL on the CMDU and the buzzer will not activate.
When the ELT ON/ARM switch is moved to the ARM position, the mission computer stops the self test and arms
the ELT. The ELT will remain armed and operational as long as the battery and the impact switch continue to
operate.
8-16. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. Self test pass generates an ACAWS advisory message
ELT TRANSMITTING. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory message ELT FAIL.
8-17. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The 28 V dc is supplied to the ELT ON/ARM remote switch by the RH STICK-
SHAKER circuit breaker. The ELT is powered by an internal battery pack and does not receive power from the
aircraft (Figure 8-2).

SECTION IX
9-1. DESCRIPTION
9-2. GENERAL
9-3. The Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) system radiates a pulsed acoustic signal when immersed in
fresh or salt water. This is to provide for underwater search operations using directional hydrophone equipment.
The ULB operates from the surface to a depth of about 20000 feet (6096 meters) for about 30 days. One beacon
is installed on the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and one is installed on the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR).
9-5. UNDERWATER LOCATOR BEACON SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The ULB system consists of two
identical battery operated beacon units and two mounts (Figure 9-1). The beacon contains a battery, elec-
tronic module/water switch, and a transducer in a watertight container.
9-7. GENERAL. The ULB is activated when the water switch, located on the end of the waterproof cylinder,
is immersed in water. The water switch triggers a low current circuit that initiates the normal pulsing of the
oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit is coupled to the piezoceramic transducer ring, resulting in the mechanical
motion of the metal case of the beacon. The motion of the case produces a 37.5 kHz acoustic energy pulse
transmitted through the surrounding water. Each pulse lasts 10 milliseconds and the pulses are transmitted
approximately one minute apart.

SECTION X
10-1. DESCRIPTION
10-2. GENERAL
10-3. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) system records all voice channels and cockpit ambient audio for
accident and incident investigations. The CVR is a solid state digital recorder located in the left aft cargo com-
partment. It has three input channels that receive cockpit voice and audio including pilot and copilot headset
audio and the area microphone for ambient audio in the cockpit area. A fourth channel records a Time Sync
Word from the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR). The four signals are digitized and stored on a non-volatile
solid state memory in a crash-protected enclosure.
10-5. COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The Cockpit Voice Recorder system con-
sists of a Cockpit Voice Recorder, Mount Tray, Cockpit Area (Remote) Microphone, Preamplifier, and a crash
Impact Switch. There is an Underwater Locator Beacon attached to the front panel.
10-6. COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER. records for 120 minutes in solid state non-volatile memory. The CVR
is painted international orange and has reflective tape on its external surface to help in locating the recorder
under poor visibility conditions (Figure 10-1).
10-7. MOUNT TRAY. The CVR mounting tray mechanically secures the CVR in the aircraft.
10-8. COCKPIT AREA MICROPHONE. The Area Microphone is a high fidelity microphone which continu-
ously senses ambient cockpit audio. This signal is recorded on channel four of the cockpit voice recorder.
10-9. PREAMPLIFIER. The preamplifier provides power to the cockpit area microphone and amplifies the
audio sensed by the microphone.
10-10. IMPACT SWITCH. The Impact Switch removes power from the recorder when a 3g impact is sensed.
10-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
10-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
10-12. GENERAL. The CVR makes a solid state, digital recording of voice/audio communications transmitted
from or received by aircraft radio, interphone, flight deck communications, and voice or audio signals identifying
navigation or approach aids. To accomplish this the CVR records the: Time Synchronization data from the
DFDR on channel one, Copilot audio from the copilot MHIU microphone and headset on channel two, Pilot
audio from the pilot MHIU microphone and headset on channel three, and Cockpit area audio from the CVR
cockpit area microphone on channel four (Figure 10-2).The CVR records channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 in a high
quality mode for a maximum of 30 minutes. It also records a standard data stream combining channels 1, 2 and
3 for a minimum of 120 minutes and one data stream for the Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) for 120 minutes.
The CVR system is operational whenever AC power is applied to the aircraft and the 28 VDC Bus 1 is powered.
It records voice/audio data via MHIUs from headset hot microphones. When the pilot or copilot makes a radio
or intercom transmission, the MHIU receives the signal and sends it to the CVR for recording on channels 3
and 2, respectively. Copilot and pilot headset audio is also recorded via their MHIUs on CVR channels 2 and
3, respectively. The CVR also continuously senses ambient cockpit audio from a non-directional high fidelity
microphone in the cockpit. The CVR preamplifier provides power to the area microphone and amplifies the
audio sensed by the microphone.The DFDR provides a time synchronization signal, which is recorded on the
CVR channel one approximately every four seconds. This data is used as a time reference for audio inputs to
the recorder. Power is removed from the CVR when the 28 VDC Bus 1 is shut down or the CVR circuit breaker
is open. The other condition for CVR power interruption is in the case of a crash. The CVR power is connected
to an impact switch for power interruption, which is set to a 3 g-force level. Recording will cease immediately
upon the switch activation (Figure 10-3).
10-13. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. Power-up begins an initial CVR BIT check. Circuitry in the
CVR provides continual operational BIT verification. The CVR will continue to operate regardless of the Mission
Computer (MC) status. Only system statusing will be lost with the loss of both MC.
10-14. ACAWS MESSAGES. A fault occurs if memory errors, corresponding to more than 5 seconds per
half-hour of recorded data, are detected. A fault is reported to the mission computer via the BAU Type II No. 2
and an ACAWS Advisory message CVR FAIL is then displayed on the CMDU.
10-15. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The 28 Vdc is supplied from the 28 Vdc Main Bus 1, through the 2RU VOICE
REC circuit breaker and through the impact switch. The CVR is on when power is applied to the aircraft.

SECTION XI
11-1. DESCRIPTION
11-2. GENERAL
11-3. The Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) records the latest 25 hours of aircraft flight performance data.
It records and stores crash protected aircraft performance data for use during incident and accident investiga-
tions. The recorder is located in the aft cargo compartment. The DFDR records parameters from various aircraft
systems and data from the aircraft mission computers and Bus Interface Units via the Right Display Bus. DFDR
BIT and fault logic is also transmitted to the mission computer via the Right Display Bus.
11-5. The DFDR is comprised of a Digital Flight Data Recorder, Mount Tray, Tri-Axis Accelerometer, two
Aileron Position Transducers, two Elevator Position Transducers, one Elevator Trim Position Transducer, one
Rudder Position Transducer, and a crash Impact Switch (Figure 11-1), (Figure 11-2). There is an Underwater
Locator Beacon attached to the front panel.
11-6. DIGITAL FLIGHT DATA RECORDER. The Digital Flight Data Recorder records the latest 25 hours of
aircraft flight performance data from associated systems for playback on the ground. It stores the solid state
memory data in a crash protected enclosure for use during accident and incident investigations.
11-7. MOUNT TRAY. The DFDR mounting tray mechanically secures the DFDR in the aircraft.
11-8. TRI-AXIS ACCELEROMETER. The Tri-Axis Accelerometer is dedicated to Digital Flight Data Recorder
use only. The accelerometer transmits vertical acceleration in the range from –3 g to +6 g, and longitudinal and
lateral acceleration in a range from –1 g to +1 g that produces a voltage to the BAU Type II for recording to the
DFDR.
11-13. IMPACT SWITCH. The Impact Switch removes power from the recorder when a 3 g impact is sensed.
This stops the recorder and prevents recording over critical data.

FAM.1C-27J-2-10
11-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
11-15. GENERAL. The DFDR operates automatically whenever the aircraft is under its own electrical power.
External power interlock prevents previously recorded flight data from being erased while the aircraft is on the
ground and external power is connected. Upon application of power to the aircraft systems, the DFDR will begin
to record data from the aircraft systems, which are designated to report parameter information. The DFDR
will continue to record for 25 hours, ceasing within 10 minutes of a crash impact. Power to the DFDR will be
interrupted if the crash impact switch that is preset for a 3-g level experiences a crash condition. When the
DFDR has reached its maximum memory capacity, it will begin to record on top of existing data. Desired data
must be removed as soon as possible to avoid being overwritten. Specific data, determined by the Operational
Flight Program (OFP) in the MC, is validated, digitized, formatted, and passed to the DFDR via the 1553B right
display data bus. This data is made available for analysis by downloading through a DFDR RS-422 interface
connector (Figure 11-3).
11-16. Acceleration is reported by a Tri-Axis Accelerometer, which is dedicated for DFDR use only and is
located along the aircraft centerline and under floor panel 240EZ. The outputs of the Tri-Axis Accelerometer go
to BAU Type II No. 2 and then to the MC (Figure 11-4).
11-17. The DFDR receives partitioned data via the MIL-STD-1553B Right Display Data Bus from the MC as
its primary data source, and the Bus Interface Unit as a secondary source. It also provides the Cockpit Voice
Recorder the Time Synchronization Signal used to synchronize flight data and cockpit voice activities during
off-aircraft data analysis and investigation. The data is contained within a non-volatile solid state memory in a
crash-protected enclosure. If both MC and BIU II No.2, which supports the Right Display Bus, fail, then there
is no DFDR recording. In the BIU Backup mode limited parameters are recorded with BIU II No. 2 on line and
several essential parameters from BIU II No. 1 are transferred to BIU II No.2 for recording. There is no DFDR
function with only BIU No. 1 on line. The DFDR is painted international orange with reflective stripes and has
an underwater acoustic beacon attached to aid in locating the device after a crash. The DFDR can be removed
and transported to another area for data reduction.
11-18. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The DFDR has an internal continuous BIT capability con-
sisting of power fault status BIT and internal fault/Printed Wire Assembly circuit card status BIT that verifies
read after write validity and recorder status. The tri-axis accelerometer has no internal BIT except for excitation
voltage monitoring associated with the BAU Type II No. 2.
11-19. ACAWS MESSAGES. If a fault occurs, a discrete bit is output and an ACAWS message DFDR FAIL
is displayed.
11-20. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The 28 V dc is supplied from the 28 V dc Main Bus 1, through the 2MR FDR
circuit breaker and through the impact switch. The DFDR is on when power is applied to the aircraft.

SECTION XII
12-1. DESCRIPTION
12-2. GENERAL
12-3. The Distributed Air Data System (DADS) provides air mass data to the flight crew and aircraft depen-
dent systems through the MIL-STD-1553B display data bus. One air data computer and one static pressure
transducer unit are paired together with applicable probes to form one channel of the DADS. The DADS operate
as two independent subsystems, DADS 1 located on the left side of the aircraft and DADS 2 located on the right
side of the aircraft. The DADS is interfaced, through the mission computer, with the CNI Management System,
the Digital Autopilot/Flight Director, Pressurization Control System, Full Authority Digital Electronic Controller,
Environmental Control System, De-Ice Timer Unit, Nacelle Interface Unit, IFF Transponder, and the Color Mul-
tifunction Display Units.
12-6. The Distributed Air Data System (DADS) is composed of two air data computers, two static pressure
transducer units, two pitot probes, four static ports and two total air temperature sensors (Figure 12-1). There
is one additional pitot probe and one static port on each side used by the standby instrument system.
12-7. Air Data Computer. The two ADC are mounted forward and outboard of the rudder pedals, under the
floor, on the left and right sides. The ADC is the processing unit for DADS. The ADC receives air pressure from
the pitot-static subsystem, an analog signal from the Total Air Temperature (TAT) probe, and digital data from
the SPTU through the RS-422 data bus. Output is through the MIL-STD-1553B display data bus.
12-8. Static Pressure Transducer Unit. Two SPTU are installed forward of the main instrument panel. The
SPTU receives static pressure from the static pressure ports and converts it into an electrical value, which is
12-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
transmitted via the RS422 bus to the ADC. The SPTU are cross connected to enable the ADC to average the
static pressures from both sides of the aircraft.
12-9. Two pitot probes are installed on the outside of the aircraft, with one probe on each side. Each pitot
probe, through the opening in the front of the probe, provides pitot pressure to an Air Data Computer (ADC).
The pitot system No. 1 (left/pilot) feeds the No. 1 ADC. Pitot system No. 2 (right/copilot) feeds the No. 2 ADC.
The back of the probe has a plumbing connector for the pressure line and an electrical connector for the anti-ice
heater element.
12-10. The flush mounted static pressure ports are installed two on each side of the fuselage and provide
static pressure to the ADC and Static Pressure Transducer Unit (SPTU). Static system No. 1 (left) feeds the No.
1 ADC and the No. 2 SPTU. Static system No. 2 (right) feeds the No. 2 ADC and the No. 1 SPTU.
12-11. Total Air Temperature Probe. The two TAT probes are mounted on each side of the fuselage and each
contains two variable resistance sensing elements. These elements are exposed to ambient air through a hole
in the front of the probe. As air flows over the elements, a signal that is directly proportional to the total air
temperature is developed. The signal is sent to the ADC, where it is used to calculate altitude and true airspeed.
The probe has a resistance heater which is used for anti-icing.
12-12. Pitot-Static/Total Air Temperature System Anti-Icing. Probe anti-icing is provided by AC electrical heat-
ing elements installed in each of the probes.
12-14. GENERAL. The DADS is to provides air mass sensor data to the mission computer for display on the
Color Multipurpose Display Unit (CMDU), and for use by other systems. The ADC uses pitot and static pressure,
static pressure data from the SPTU, TAT probe sensor data, and baroset input data to calculate all output values
for use by other subsystems. The ADC processes all of its output parameters from inputs of pitot-static air
pressure and air temperature. Pitot and static pressures are routed to the ADC, and static pressure is routed
to the SPTU through the pitot-static system plumbing (Figure 12-3 and Figure 12-4). The ADC processor
senses the pitot and static pressures, the SPTU processor senses the static pressures, and the respective
processors convert the pressures to representative electrical signals. In the ADC, electrical signals received
from the SPTU are combined with signals derived from static pressure sensed on the opposite side of the aircraft
to create a cross-ship averaged value. The ADC collects temperature data from the TAT probes by reading the
resistance from the resistance element and converting the resistance to an electrical value representing total
air temperature. The pilot enters the current barometric pressure by using the baroset knob on the reference
set/mode select panel and the mission computer receives and processes the baroset value over the MIL-STD-
1553B data bus and sends it to the ADC. The ADC transmits output values of indicated airspeed (Vi), baro-
corrected altitude (Hbc), altitude rate (H), static air temperature (Ts), pressure altitude (Hp), mach number (M),
true airspeed (Vt), altimeter baroset (Pbs), impact pressure (Qc), and total air temperature (Tt), over the MIL-
STD-1553B data bus to the mission computer. The mission computers provide the interface for the ADC to all
necessary aircraft systems via the MIL-STD-1553B data busses as well as calculation of limits, warnings and
reference speeds.
12-15. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by
the ADC and SPTU: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power
is applied to the DADS. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.

SECTION XIII
13-1. DESCRIPTION
13-2. GENERAL
13-3. The radar altimeter system is a solid-state, phase modulated/pulsed system which measures abso-
lute altitude and distributes the data digitally to aircraft systems and displays. The radar altitude reference set
values are set from the reference set/mode select panel. The radar altimeter system communicates to the mis-
sion computer using the MIL-STD-1553B (1553B) data bus. Two Radar Altimeters measure the altitude of the
airplane above ground level (AGL) at or below 50000 feet (15240 m). Each radar altimeter can be used for:
The radar altimeters include anti-jam enhancement and support a low probability of intercept operation while
providing the required accuracy and resolution for a precision approach.
13-5. RADAR ALTIMETER SYSTEM COMPONENTS. There are two radar altimeter systems per aircraft
(Figure 13-1). Each radar altimeter system consists of one receiver-transmitter, one RT mount, one receive
antenna, and one transmit antenna.
13-6. RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER. The receiver/transmitters (RT) are located under the flight deck floor.
Number 1 RT is on the left side and No. 2 RT is on the right side. The RT unit is equipped with a time delay
adjustment that can be used to calibrate the altitude display output during maintenance.
13-7. RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER MOUNT. The RT Mount is used to secure the R/T to the airplane and
provide vibration isolation.
13-8. ANTENNAS. Each antenna is a micro strip patch type and sealed with a fiberglass cover for protection.
They are mounted on the bottom of the aircraft on special mounts to permit the proper angle between them. All
four antennas are identical.
13-10. GENERAL. The RT transmits a radio frequency signal from the aircraft to the earth surface, receives
the reflected signal and produces an indication of the absolute altitude from 0 feet to 50000 feet (0 m to 15240
m) (Figure 13-2). Radar altitude is displayed on the primary flight display as a boxed digital readout with a
white Above Ground Level (AGL) presented above the digital readout and a cyan radar altitude reference set
value displayed below the digital readout. This indication of altitude is supplied in the form of digital output
13-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
signals to altitude dependent equipment aboard the aircraft. Output data validity is indicated by the presence
of valid digital outputs to the other aircraft systems. In normal operation, the R/T unit operates in either of two
submodes: SEARCH or TRACK. When operating in the SEARCH submode, the R/T unit is actively attempting
to acquire a return signal. It does this by searching through the entire altitude range. It will continue to search
until target lock-on is achieved. The RT unit enters the TRACK submode when it is locked-on and is actively
tracking the nearest ground return signal. During the TRACK submode, the RT unit transmits continuous valid
altitude information upon data requests by the 1553B bus controller. If the RT unit loses the return signal, it
reverts back to the SEARCH submode.
13-11. PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY. Radar altitude is presented on the primary flight display as a boxed digital
readout, below and left of the altitude scale (Figure 13-2). The box size is 5 digits, with leading zeros not being
shown. A white label AGL is presented above the digital readout. Below the digital readout, a cyan colored
radar altitude reference set value is presented. When the aircraft is at or below the reference set radar altimeter
value, the digital readout changes from white to yellow. The radar altitude reference set value can be set from
the reference set/warning panel, by rotating reference set knob with the reference select pushbutton switch set
to RAD. The altitude setting is read on the ALT REF display.
13-13. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by
the radar altimeter system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as
the power is applied to the R/T. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the R/T has completed
the power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
13-14. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message RADALT 1/2 FAIL.
13-15. Power distribution. System is active whenever power is available. The circuit breakers are powered
by the following buses.

SECTION XIV
14-1. DESCRIPTION
14-2. GENERAL
14-3. The Standby Attitude Instrument System (SAIS) is a stand alone instrument system for emergency
use. The SAIS provides a backup to the pilot and copilot primary instruments. The electronic indicator is
mounted in the instrument panel between the pilot and copilot and the slip/skid indicators are on the No. 1 and
No. 5 CMDU.
14-5. GENERAL. The SAIS is composed of a Standby Electronic Indicator, Detachable Configuration Mod-
ule, Air Data Computer, Pitot Probe, two Static Ports, Magnetometer and two Inclinometers (Figure 14-1).
14-6. Standby Electronic Indicator. The Standby Electronic Indicator contains an active liquid crystal display,
a BARO rotational adjustment knob that doubles as a menu control switch, Menu (M) push-button switch, an
internal three axis inertial sensor cluster for attitude displays, and the computational circuitry. A light sensor for
automatic dimming is included. The liquid crystal display provides a visual display of critical flight data, including
airspeed, heading, altitude, and attitude. The BARO switch is used to set the barometric pressure to local
conditions. The Menu (M) switch is used to enable the various menus for control and display.
14-7. Detachable Configuration Module. The Detachable Configuration Module (DCM) is connected to J2
of the electronic indicator and is attached to the cable for J1 by a lanyard. The DCM contains a non- volatile
memory to store the codes that describe the specific hardware and software configuration of that aircraft. The
DCM remains with the aircraft until it fails and is not changed with the electronic indicator.
14-8. Air Data Computer. The Air Data Computer (ADC) is mounted forward of the center console and under
the main instrument panel. The ADC receives pitot pressure from the pitot probe and static pressure from static
pressure transducers. The airspeed and altitude output is through the ARINC 429 bus to the electronic display.
14-9. Pitot Probe. The pitot probe is located below the pilots pitot probe on the lower left side of the fuselage.
Pitot pressure is provided to the ADC for airspeed development. The probe is heated to prevent ice build up.
14-10. Static ports. The static ports are located below the pilot and copilot side windows in a group with the
DADS static ports. Static pressure is provided to the ADC for altitude development.
14-11. Magnetometer. The magnetometer is installed in the vertical stabilizer and provides magnetic heading
information and attitude information to the the electronic indicator using an RS-422 data bus. The three axis
magnetic transducer is aligned to magnetic north.
14-12. Inclinometer. There is an inclinometer installed at the top of the No. 1 and the No. 5 CMDU to provide
a slip/skid indication to the pilots.
14-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
14-14. GENERAL. The SAI system operates completely independent of the avionics sensors for airspeed,
attitude, heading and and pitch and roll. The SAIS provides standby flight data to the flight crew through an
electronic indicator. The following information is displayed:
14-15. An additional function of the standby instrument system is to output airspeed, heading, altitude, pitch,
and roll via an ARINC 429 interface to BAU Type III No. 1, then through the left 1553B avionics bus to the mission
computer. The mission computer can then poll the primary instruments of the pilot and copilot for a comparison,
then identify a miscompare if applicable.
14-16. The Standby Electronic Indicator displays and settings are accessed through the M switch located on
the face of the instrument at the bottom center. Pressing the switch will open a menu at the bottom of the display
area. Rotating the BARO knob will scroll through the menu items by moving the highlight indicator caret. Menu
items with submenus are indicated by three dots at the end of the item. When the desired item is highlighted,
momentarily pressing the BARO knob selects that item. Rotating the BARO knob will change the settings and
then momentarily pressing the BARO knob selects that setting and returns the display to normal. The following
menu items are available:
– FAST ERECT
– SET BRIGHTNESS OFFSET
– SET HEADING
– BARO TYPE
14-17. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by
the SFI: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is applied
to the SFI and results in a blank screen for approximately 15 seconds. If a failure is detected, the ID screen will
appear with an error message. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. If a failure is not detected, the ID screen will appear momentarily, followed by the ATT FAIL display and
the ALIGNMENT IN PROGRESS message. Within approximately three minutes, the alignment will be complete
and a normal screen will be displayed. circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and
the ADC has completed the power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete
output will be sent to the ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting
functional performance.
14-18. The ACAWS will display the following advisory messages for an SFI fault:
14-19. Power distribution. No on-off switch exists for system control. System is active whenever power is
available. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses:

15-1. DESCRIPTION
15-2. GENERAL
15-3. Two VHF Navigation (VOR/ILS/MB) systems receive transmissions from the ground based Very High
Frequency Omni-Range (VOR), Instrument Landing System (ILS), Localizer (LOC), and Glideslope (GS) sys-
tems. In addition, the No. 1 system performs the functions of a Marker Beacon (MB) receiver. The VOR/ILS/MB
system consists of two Receivers, two VOR/ILS Antennas, a GS Antenna, and a MB Antenna. Control of
the VOR/ILS/MB receivers is by the Communication/ Navigation/Identification Management System (CNI-MS)
through the Mission Computer (MC), via MIL-STD- 1553B (1553B) data bus. Three independent receivers within
the VOR/ILS Receivers are integrated to provide for reception of 200 VOR/LOC channels, 40 GS channels, and
MB. Audio outputs are provided for station identification. The VHF Navigation System furnishes relative bearing
to station, VOR/ILS guidance, marker beacon annunciators, and glideslope guidance information to the MC for
utilization by the Digital Flight Director System and display on the Primary Flight Display (PFD).
15-5. VHF NAVIGATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS (Figure 15-1). The VHF navigation systems consists
of two Receivers, two Receiver Mounts, one VOR LOC two part Antenna, a Marker Beacon Antenna, and a
Glideslope Antenna.
15-6. VOR/ILS/MB RECEIVER. The VOR No. 1 receiver is mounted on the upper left bulkhead inside the
radome and the VOR No. 2 receiver is mounted on the upper right bulkhead inside the radome. Each receiver
has three separate sections for VOR/LOC reception, GS reception, and MB reception.
– VOR/LOC Reception. The VOR section provides bearing to ground station, using 160 channels
from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz, with 50 KHz channel spacing. The LOC section provides left/right
deviation from runway centerline, using 40 channels using 108.10 to 111.95 MHz, with 50 KHz
channel spacing. The outputs are LOC deviation, TO/FROM indication, relative VOR-to-station,
and VOR/LOC audio identification.
– GS Reception. The GS receiver section has 40 channels, spaced 150 KHz apart in the 329.15
to 335.00 MHz frequency band. The 40 GS channels are paired with 40 LOC channels. The GS
receiver section provides a deviation output, which represents the position of the airplane relative
to the center of the glideslope antenna pattern to indicate glideslope deviation (up or down).
– MB Reception. The MB receiver section receives and processes 75 MHz marker beacon signals.
Outer, middle and inner marker annunciators are output to the MC for display on the PFD. An
audio output is provided to monitor the 400, 1330, and 3000 Hz coded tone modulation of the MB
signals.
15-7. RECEIVER MOUNT. The Receiver Mount is used to secure the receiver to the airplane.
15-8. VOR/LOC ANTENNA. The VOR/LOC Antenna is installed in the upper portion of the vertical stabilizer.
The antenna consists of two blade antennas installed on the left and right sides of the vertical stabilizer, and
15-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
connected together by a tee adapter. Both receivers can be operated simultaneously, on the same or different
frequencies, with the one combined antenna.
15-9. MARKER BEACON ANTENNA. The marker beacon antenna is located on the bottom of the fuselage.
Antenna patterns permit MB reception in a cone of about 150 degrees wide fore and aft and 100 degrees wide
laterally. There is a null zone of approximately 15 degrees directly below the antenna so that a cone of silence
exists as the airplane passes directly over the ground station.
15-10. GLIDESLOPE ANTENNA. The glideslope antenna is installed inside the nose radome and centered
on the lower bulkhead. A single antenna is used for both VOR/ILS receivers.
15-12. GENERAL. The VOR/ILS receivers furnish, through the MC, relative bearing to station, VOR/LOC
course guidance, MB annunciators, and GS vertical guidance information for display on the Color Multipurpose
Display Units (CMDU). Bearing information is also compared to the Heading-Course Select Panel setting. The
resultant course deviation is calculated in the mission computer; the CMDU displays this lateral deviation on a
Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) to a maximum of 10 degrees. A CDI To/From indicator indicates where the
selected course will take the aircraft toward or away from the selected ground station (Figure 15-3).
15-13. PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY. The VHF Navigation information is displayed on the PFD as the glides-
lope pointer and scale, the marker beacon OM, MM, and IM indicators, the lubber line and course pointer bar,
course deviation indicator, to/from indicator, CDI displacement scale, and navigation source data (Figure 15-2).
15-14. The VOR/ILS navigation receiver frequency tuning is accomplished through the two CNI-MU and the
CNRP panels located on the center console. For ILS approach navigation, the 40 GS channels are automatically
tuned when the 40 paired LOC channels are tuned.
15-15. Tuning for the VOR/ILS receiver can be selected in the paired mode or independently. The paired
mode of operation automatically tunes the TACAN transceiver to the DME channel associated with a VOR/DME
or VORTAC ground station. This allows the DME portion of a VOR/DME or VORTAC station to be used. In the
paired mode the No. 1 VOR/ILS receiver is paired with the No. 1 TACAN transceiver, and the No. 2 VOR/ILS
receiver is paired with the No. 2 TACAN transceiver. When paired, tuning of either the VOR or the TACAN per-
forms the tuning operation for both. While the paired mode of VOR and TACAN operation is normally selected,
deselecting the paired mode places the VOR and TACAN into remote tuning and permits the two radios to be
tuned independently. After frequency selection, the NAV functions are selected for display using the Single
Avionics Management Unit (SAMU). Audio outputs from each NAV radio unit goes to the ICS Central Switch-
ing Unit and the volume is controlled through the ICS Monitor Panel. Headset Interface Units allow the use of
headsets for audio monitoring. The received audio allows the pilot to identify which station is tuned.
15-16. The MB subsystem determines when the airplane has reached three key points in a VOR/ILS ap-
proach: the Outer Marker (OM), Middle Marker (MM), and the Inner Marker (IM), all of which have the same
carrier frequency of 75 MHz. While the MB carrier frequency is always the same, each MB is modulated to
produce different auditory tones to identify the three different MB types. Audio output is provided by the receiver
to monitor the OM (400 Hz), MM (1330 Hz), and IM (3000 Hz) coded tone modulation of the MB signals. OM,
MM and IM annunciator signals are provided to the mission computer for display on the pilot and copilot PFD.
Although the No. 1 and No. 2 VOR/ILS receivers are identical, only the MB receiver in the No. 1 VOR/ILS
receiver is used for navigation.
15-17. The ILS subsystem provides flight path steering commands to a chosen landing area. The pilot re-
ceives both localizer and glideslope guidance cues for steering the aircraft along the runway approach path. ILS
frequency selection is made with the CNI-MU or CNRP. The VOR and LOC functions share the same frequency
band and are intermeshed in an alternating odd/even arrangement. The GS receiver is automatically tuned with
the LOC in frequency pairs. LOC CDI and GS vertical deviation display selection is made with the SAMU, and
is selected simultaneously when LOC is chosen for the CDI NAV source. Audio for station identification and
monitoring are selected by the ICS Monitor Panel (Figure 15-4).

15-18. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by the
VHF Navigation system, Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the
power is applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed
the power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
15-19. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message VOR/ILS (1 or 2) FAIL.
15-20. POWER DISTRIBUTION. VOR 1 and VOR 2 receivers are toggled ON and OFF by pressing the ap-
propriate CNI/MU line select key on the NAV TUNE VOR 1 or NAV TUNE VOR 2 page. The appropriate mission
computer and BAU Type II energize the VOR 1 or VOR 2 power relay to apply 28 V dc from the circuit breaker
to the receiver. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses.

SECTION XVI
16-1. DESCRIPTION
16-2. GENERAL
16-3. The embedded global positioning/inertial navigation (EGI) system, is an all attitude navigation system
providing outputs of linear and angular acceleration, velocity, position, attitude (roll, pitch, and platform azimuth),
true and magnetic heading, altitude, body angular rates, time tags, and universal time coordinated synchronized
time pulses. There are two EGI systems, EGI No. 1 is generally controlled by the pilot and EGI No. 2 by the
copilot.
16-5. EGI SYSTEM COMPONENTS. Each EGI system consists of an EGI computer/receiver with mount, a
fixed reception pattern antenna (FRPA), and an EGI RF (Radio Frequency) filter assembly (Figure 16-1).
16-6. EGI RECEIVER. The EGI Receiver consists of an inertial sensor assembly (ISA), System Processor
(SP), GPS embedded module (GEM), and power supply.
A. Inertial Sensor Assembly. The Inertial Sensor Assembly (ISA) contains a precision machined sen-
sor block which provides mountings for three mutually orthogonal digital ring laser gyros, and three
mutually orthogonal precision accelerometers. The ISA provides the inertial electronics necessary
to acquire, digitize, accumulate, and temperature compensate the accelerometer and gyro output
signals. The ISA transmits accelerometer, gyro, and compensation data to the System Processor
and the System Processor transmits mode commands and calibration data to the ISA.
B. System Processor. The System Processor (SP) circuit card assembly stores and executes the
Operational Flight Program (OFP). Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEP-
ROM) is used for OFP storage, and static Random Access Memory (RAM) is used for real-time
operation data storage. The OFP processes the data from the gyros and accelerometers and
communicates with the GPS module via a Dual Port RAM interface. The outputs from the OFP
include a pure Inertial solution, a pure GPS solution, and a Blended solution.
C. GPS embedded module. The GEM acquires, tracks, and navigates using GPS satellite signals
from an external antenna and RF filter assembly. The GEM provides a minimum of five L1/L2
P(Y)-code satellite tracking channels, provides secure storage for the crypto variables, and utilizes
a hard-wired zeroize discrete to erase these variables.
D. Power Supply. The EGI power supply is a compact, self-contained DC-DC converter. The EGI
power supply receives 28 V dc prime power and 28 V dc backup power. The power supply is
designed to operate with the supply voltage down to 10 V dc for 30 seconds. If 28 V dc prime
power is removed, the EGI will operate on the 28 V dc secondary power for 10 seconds, at which
time, the EGI will perform an automatic shutdown, which is completed in 10 seconds. The 10
second shut down feature will be disabled if a software disable discrete is received. A 3.5 volt
lithium-thionyl chloride battery is used as backup power for the 10 second shut down, and to hold
up the non-volatile RAM while primary power is not applied to the system. Mounting and circuitry
16-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
are provided for installation of a second battery for use in changing the primary battery without
loss of data.
16-7. MOUNT. The two EGI are installed on mounts under the cargo floor and are located precisely by bore-
sight procedures.
16-8. FIXED RECEPTION PATTERN ANTENNA. The Fixed Reception Pattern Antenna (FRPA) is a passive
antenna unit which requires no power, adjustment, or control to function. The FRPA is designed to receive
signals from the GPS satellites and to couple through the RF filter assembly to the EGI computer/receiver.
16-9. RF FILTER. The EGI RF Filter is between the antenna and the EGI. It is used to filter radio frequency
noise to reduce loading of the EGI computer.
16-11. The EGI operates using both operator commanded and automatic modes.. The EGI accepts and pro-
cesses the turn-on and mode commands, initialization data, and pressure altitude data from the MIL-STD-1553B
(1553B) data bus. The EGI responds to the 1553B data bus controller, and provides the navigational outputs
required by other systems. The EGI accepts radio frequency global positioning system (GPS) satellite trans-
missions and provides these signals as inputs to the GEM. The GEM tracks up to five satellites simultaneously.
The GEM supports the GPS and blended EGI navigation solutions. See Table 16-1.
16-12. The inertial navigation system (INS) part of the EGI provides navigation and position data to the flight
crew and mission computers using the 1553B data bus (Figure 16-2). The system is unaffected by weather and
is accurate worldwide. The only required input is airspeed and pressure altitude from the air data computer. The
system is aligned on the ground to an earth based local level reference point using local latitude and longitude.
This alignment also uses the spin of the earth and gravity to determine north and up references.
16-13. INITIALIZATION. Following power ON, the system auto-transitions to the power up initialization (INIT)
mode. While in INIT mode, all navigation outputs are set to zero, null, or invalid as appropriate. All mode
command input messages are received and processed. The system responds to all multiplexer data requests.
The following functions are enabled during INIT mode:
16-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
16-14. ALIGNMENT. The EGI maintains, and makes available for output, the current align events record and
the current time in align record. Both records are updated at each ALIGN-TO-NAV transition. Aircraft mission
requirements will provide the information as to whether auto-transition to this mode will be implemented. The
EGI permits auto-transition from INIT to ALIGN mode.
– Gyrocompass (GC). This is the primary inertial alignment mode. In this mode, present position is
entered through the communication/navigation/identification management system (CNI-MS), via
the 1553B data bus, and a GC alignment is performed in azimuth to determine the true heading
of the aircraft. During alignment, the EGI computes and makes available, via the 1553B data bus,
an alignment status indication. The system provides a NAV ready indication via the 1553B data
bus when the system can provide GC performance. An interruption of the GC alignment due to
aircraft movement prolongs the alignment period by no more than the period of suspension plus
twenty seconds.
– Stored Heading (SH). The EGI will implement a fast inertial alignment mode. In this mode, the
system will level to local vertical and initializes position and heading to the value at the last shut-
down. Specified performance in this mode requires that a complete GC alignment be successfully
completed on the power down (OFF) and the platform not be moved prior to the next alignment.
The EGI stores this value for this application. Navigation performance is better than 1.0 nm/hr
circular error probable (CEP) or less after a SH align. SH is completed in 30 seconds or less. If
the EGI determines that the aircraft has been moved, it transitions to the GC align mode. Failure
to meet the prerequisites for SH will cause the EGI to revert to the GC alignment mode.
– Best Available True Heading (BATH). The BATH alignment mode provides a quick reaction, de-
graded performance alignment, using a manually entered true heading. Entry of a heading via
INS 1/2 ALIGN page(s) causes the EGI to level to stored, entered or GPS present position and
use the entered value for heading. The BATH alignment mode can only be entered via one of the
two following methods:
• When the prerequisites for the SH alignment mode have been satisfied, insertion of true head-
ing causes the EGI to perform a BATH alignment.
• When the prerequisites for the SH alignment mode have not been satisfied, selection of the SH
alignment mode results in the EGI initiating a BATH alignment. The true heading is requested
via the CNI-MU and must be entered with a “T” following the heading. The “T” is to indicate
true heading).
– In Flight Align (IFA/Update). The EGI, in conjunction with external sensor information, is capable
of performing an inflight alignment having no ground alignment, a partial ground alignment, or
a complete gyro compass alignment. This same mode will provide the capability for performing
aided navigation with automatic update. IFA or realignments can be performed when the aircraft
is in motion or stationary. Unless deselected, the IFA will complete when the Kalman filter projects
a free inertial accuracy equivalent or better than that achieved with a normal GC align. Following
a 30 second coarse alignment on the ground, the EGI will complete an IFA within 5 minutes, pro-
vided there has been continuous GPS coverage with a horizontal dilution of precision (HDOP) of
3.5 or better. Without the benefit of a coarse alignment, the system will complete the IFA within
10 minutes, provided there has been continuous GPS coverage with an HDOP of 3.5 or better. In
the EGI, all three navigation functions (GPS/INS, GPS only, and INS only) will be available simul-
taneously after an IFA.
16-15. NAVIGATION. The EGI performs all functions necessary to produce a best estimate of position, ve-
locity, acceleration, time, attitude, heading, and body axis angular rates while operating in this mode (Figure
16-3) . The EGI uses all available sensor inputs including inertial, GPS, and pressure altitude, as well as other
external sensors (TACAN, position fixes, etc.), which may be available from the mission computer or sensors to
produce an optimal estimate of the aircraft state. In the EGI, all three independent solutions (GPS/INS, GPS
only, and INS Only INS) are available simultaneously for output at all times. The EGI maintains, and makes
available for output, the current NAV events record and the current time in NAV record. Both records are reset
at each ALIGN-TO-NAV transition. All NAV events are stored as they occur. Record of time in the NAV mode
includes the OVERFLY and AIR ALIGN update modes.
– INS/GPS navigation solution is determined by using both INS and GPS combined using the output
of the Kalman Filter.
16-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
– INS Only, navigation solution is determined by using INS and pressure altitude.
– GPS Only, navigation solution is determined by using GPS.
– NAV Alignment is an in flight navigation alignment.
16-16. REMOTE FILL PORT. The Remote Fill Port panel is located in the cargo compartment on the right
side. The EGI part of the Remote Fill Port panel contains two fill ports used to load crypto variable key code
data into EGI No. 1 and No. 2. Data may be loaded with or without power applied to the aircraft.
16-17. INTERFACE. The EGI interfaces through the 1553 Bus with the other systems in the navigational suite
(Figure 16-3).
The CNI-MS provides EGI command and control, and receives and processes EGI navigation data for computing
the Lateral Guidance of the aircraft. The flight management function stores pre-flight planning, enroute flight
plans and takeoff data to assist the flight crew in mission planning and guidance as part of the integration with
the navigation function. The CNI-System Processor performs bus control functions, communication/navigation
functions, and calculates guidance parameters to be used by the flight director and the displays. The automatic
selection of functional modes of the Integrated Navigation (INAV) is based on the Figure of Merit (FOM) and
Estimated Horizontal Error (EHE) from the EGI and associated sensors. The EGI No. 1 and No. 2 zeroize relays
are controlled by the CNI-SP and when the GPS zeroize function is executed, via the CNI-MU , the CNI-SP
closes the zeroize relays, applying 5 V dc return signal to EGI zeroize input, zeroizing the crypto variable key
code data. The CNI-Management Units provide the crew member interface through keypads and displays.
The CMDU uses EGI velocity, roll, pitch, and acceleration information to control the flight path ladder, attitude
indicator, waterline symbol, and the Y movement of the guidance cue.
The DA/FD system uses EGI attitude, attitude rate, velocity, and acceleration for lateral steering commands that
are used for flight control and guidance.
The Mission computer as the central processing element of the integrated avionics suite, routes the EGI data to
the CMDU and DA/FD, and plays a central role in the synchronization of the various systems that use EGI data.
Two mission computers and two Bus Interface Units (BIU) provide critical path redundancy. The BIU provide a
backup processing capability if both mission computers fail.
The Low Power Color Radar uses EGI attitude for antenna stabilization; monopulse ground map, velocity and
acceleration for cursor placement, and heading for map orientation.
The DADS provides the EGI with air data that includes pressure altitude and true airspeed (TAS). The pressure
altitude is used to damp the INS vertical channel, while the TAS is used in calculating winds.
16-18. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by
the EGI system, Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is
applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the
power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
16-19. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates ACAWS messages

SECTION XVII
17-1. DESCRIPTION
17-2. GENERAL
17-3. The Low Power Color Radar (LPCR) operates in the X-band with a center frequency of 9375 MHz, a
nominal peak operating power of 150 watts, and an average operating power of 11 watts or less. The slotted,
flat plate array antenna enables the radar to use active beam shaping and monopulse resolution improvement.
17-5. LOW POWER COLOR RADAR SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The LPCR system consists of a Receiver
Transmitter Processor and Mount, an Antenna, a Radar Control panel, and a Cursor Control panel (Figure
17-1).
17-6. RECEIVER TRANSMITTER PROCESSOR. The Receiver Transmitter Processor (RTP) is a highly in-
tegrated line replaceable unit (LRU) that contains a modular, wired chassis and backplane unit with all solid
state, line replaceable modules (LRM). The waveguide-to-coaxial transfer couplings, the duplexer, and the re-
ceiver protectors are considered part of the wired chassis and are not line replaceable. The RTP contains the
transmitter, receivers, processors, power supplies, synchronizer interface, bus transceiver, and display drivers.
Two waveguides connect between the RTP and the antenna.
17-7. RTP MOUNT. The RTP Mount assembly contains the RTP and provides power, heat, and cooling air
to the RTP.
17-8. ANTENNA. The antenna is a slotted array configuration and is powered and controlled by the RTP. An
electric motor drives the antenna array in azimuth and elevation.
17-9. RADAR CONTROL PANEL. The Radar Control panel is located on the center console, forward of the
throttle quadrant. It is accessible by both the pilot and copilot.
17-10. CURSOR CONTROL PANEL. The Cursor Control panel, located aft and to the right of the throttle
quadrant on the center console, controls some display functions. These include the selection of range (RNG)
scales, the expand function (ZOOM), and the antenna TILT control.
17-12. GENERAL. The LPCR provides enhanced ground mapping, weather avoidance and windshear de-
tection. Ground mapping modes use real beam monopulse ground mapping and monopulse stabilized doppler
beam sharpening. Weather avoidance modes can detect weather through intervening weather, turbulence de-
tection, and low altitude horizontal windshear detection. Additional capabilities are skin paint mode, beacon
mode, precision position update, and flight plan display detection (Figure 17-4). The LPCR system interfaces
with the Communication/Navigation /Identification Management System (CNI-MS) and Embedded Global Posi-
tioning/Inertial Navigation (EGI) system using the MIL-STD-1553B data bus to provide precision position update
17-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
and flight plan displays. The EGI also provides attitude data for antenna stabilization. All information is displayed
in color on the selected color multipurpose display unit (CMDU). Displayed data is used to warn of weather dis-
turbances, present terrain display, and aid in navigation. The radar makes use of active radar mode interleaving
to provide increased versatility. This enables the pilot to engage weather mode, while at the same time the
copilot may be using ground mapping mode. The LCPR supports Integrated Precision Radar Approach (IPRA)
mode which measures aircraft position relative to a ground placed X-band radar beacon transponder. IPRA
functions similar to a microwave landing system.
17-13. All inputs to the radar are made by discrete switches. The function and interaction of each switch is
controlled by a radar software operating system. An operational mode is engaged by pressing one of six buttons.
The six modes are: MAP (doppler beam sharpened ground mapping), MGM (monopulse ground mapping), WX
(weather), WS (windshear), SP (skin paint), and BCN (radar beacon). MAP, MGM, WX, and SP may operate
with BCN overlaid on them. BCN can operate as an independent mode as well. Additionally, it is possible to
overlay flight plan information on MAP, MGM, WX, BCN, and SP. It is also possible to operate the flight plan
overlay while the radar is in standby. Flight plan is a selection made from a Single Avionics Management Unit
(SAMU). From an operating mode, STANDBY operation is entered by disengaging all operating modes (Figure
17-5).
17-14. SYSTEM OPERATION. Radar video is presented on the primary flight display as a function of mode
selection with overlays. Both video and overlays are in color.
17-15. GROUND MAP. By engaging one of the two ground mapping modes of operation, the LPCR can be
used to ground map terrain features and conduct radar navigation, update the navigation system; and conduct
aerial delivery and airborne radar approaches. One of the mapping modes is the Monopulse Ground Mapping
(MGM) mode; the other MAP includes the Monopulse Stabilized Doppler Beam Sharpening (MSDBS) capability.
The monopulse ground mapping improves the azimuth resolution over that which is obtained with real beam
ground mapping. The MSDBS mode generates maps with significantly higher azimuth resolution than that of
MGM. The doppler beam sharpening improves the azimuth resolution such that it matches the radar range
resolution at 2/3 of the selected range scale in unexpanded maps. Nominal scan rates are 67 to 12 degs/sec for
centered and 33 to 6 degs/sec for Offset (OFS) PPI DBS and 60 degs/sec for MGM. Sector operation is entered
from the radar control panel by continuously pressing the SCTR button to obtain the desired sector. For mapping
operations 135 degrees, 60 degrees, 30 degrees, and 15 degrees sectors are available. To further enhance
radar scope interpretation, the LPCR has zoom capability, by pressing the ZOOM switch on the cursor controller
panel, to expand the map about the cursor at a 2:1 or 4:1 ratio. This increases the range and resolution such
that at the cursor range, the azimuth and range resolution match. MAP/MGM may be engaged and controlled
from the panel by selecting the appropriate radar channel via the PSEL switch.
17-16. MANUAL CURSOR. To use radar manual cursor, the system must have completed its power-up BIT,
and the appropriate CNI-MU position be selected with the CNI-MU & TILT switch. This ensures the proper
CNI-MS interface is established for control and input of the radar data. The DISPLAY rotary switch must be
placed to a position such that a corresponding CMDU is cursor capable. Pressing the MAP or MGM mode switch
causes the LPCR to enter a ground mapping mode of operation. For general mapping operations, the MAN
cursor function is enabled by the mauual cursor enable switch on the CCP. The MAN cursor is also the default
cursor mode. The radar cursor is stabilized to the airplane and is initialized on the presentation, approximately
at the midpoint of the range scale on centerline. It will remain at this position (pushbroom operation) unless the
cursor control is used to move the cursor. By slewing the cursor thumb tracker, the cursor may be moved to a
desired bearing and range. Once placed, the cursor will remain displaced at a constant bearing and range from
the origin. The cursor bearing and range latitude and longitude will appear at the bottom of the selected display.
MAN cursor is used only to present a random bearing and range. To perform radar updates or insert targets
into the navigation system, either CMPR cursor or GRND cursor operation must be selected.
17-17. GROUND CURSOR. To use ground cursor, a CMDU must be selected on the cursor control panel. By
pressing the ground cursor enable button on the cursor controller, and manipulating the thumb tracker switch,
the cursor may be moved to a target of interest. By engaging the expand function of the radar, either a 2X or
4X expanded picture of the radar area around the cursor may be obtained. Once laid on the target with no
further switch manipulations made, the cursor will remain on the target until it is moved again. The location
of the cursor is given in latitude and longitude at the bottom of the selected CMDU. These coordinates can be
transferred into a selected CNI-MU scratchpad by pressing the insert/update key on the cursor control grip. From
the scratchpad, they can be entered as a mark point; added to the flight plan; or designated a direct to point.

FAM.1C-27J-2-10
17-18. COMPUTER AND QUICK CURSOR. Pressing the computer/quick cursor enable switch to its first
break selects the computer positioned cursor. Once the switch is actuated, the selected CNI-MU scratch pad is
first checked for a designated location. If a location has been entered, that is the location of the cursor. If the
scratch pad is empty, the cursor will be located over the last cursor position. Pressing the computer/quick cursor
enable switch to its second break selects the computer positioned quick cursor. The quick cursor allows cursor
movement to have an immediate effect on the navigation solution that is being used for airplane guidance when
the INSERT/UPDATE switch is depressed. Quick cursor is used during airborne radar approaches (ARA) and
during airdrops. Once the switch is actuated, the selected CNI-MU scratch pad is first checked for a designated
location. If a location has been entered, that is the location of the cursor. If the scratch pad is empty, the cursor
will be located over the steerpoint or over the last cursor position. For both the computer and the quick cursor,
if OAP are selected via the cursor target select switch, repeated trigger action cycles through 10 OAP. Cursor
range and bearing latitude and longitude is presented at the bottom of the selected CMDU. When the cursor
is refined via the thumb tracker, position deltas are created that are not integrated into the navigation solution
but are in storage awaiting further action. Pressing the insert/update switch causes the update page to appear
on the selected CNI-MU and causes CURSOR to be selected as the source of update. Solution deltas may be
selectively accepted.
17-19. PRECISION POSITION MEASUREMENT. Precision position measurement is available only in ground
mapping modes. The accuracy of the data provided by the radar is carefully controlled when precision position
measurement is in effect. In MGM, precision data will usually be available when the map is expanded or the
cursor is in the outer half of an unexpanded map, the depression angle to the ground cursor is less than 5
degrees, and airplane bank is less than 5 degrees. Precision measurement mode (PRCN) allows precision
data in DBS and MGM geometries. PRCN measures height of the ground as well as velocity errors. PRCN
is selected by pressing the PRCN switch. PRCN should be selected when the PRCN REQUIRED message is
displayed on the CMDU. PRCN functions when the cursor is within 50 nm of the airplane, within the field of view
of the antenna, and airplane ground speed is greater than 100 feet/sec.
17-20. RADAR NAVIGATION (OVERT). After start-up BIT is complete, either MAP or MGM mode of opera-
tion may be engaged. Airplane progress can be monitored without cursor operations; however greater utility is
gained if ground, computer, or quick cursor is selected. The cursor will appear on any CMDU that has a radar
mode selected on the full channel. Manipulating the thumb tracker switch moves the cursor to any desired range
and bearing on the display. The cursor does not stabilize on a target and should be used only to assess a target
for tracking cursor modes. If the GRND cursor enable switch is pressed, the ground cursor is enabled which
allows the cursor to be placed over a target using the thumb tracker switch. The cursor is now stabilized on the
target and will track the target until moved or the target leaves the display. Position coordinates from this mode
can be entered into the CNI-MS by pressing the insert/update switch. These coordinates can now be used as
a direct-to-point. The coordinates generated may also be stored as a reference point, for use at a later time,
by entering them in a CNI-MS scratchpad. Engaging the computer and quick cursor enable switch causes the
cursor to slew to one of ten OAP. If the cursor is not precisely on the target, the cursor may be moved by manip-
ulating the thumb tracker switch. Cycling between OAP can be accomplished if desired. The deltas generated
in CMPR and QUICK modes may be used to update the navigation solution.
17-21. RADAR NAVIGATION (COVERT). After ensuring start-up BIT is complete, the system readiness to
conduct a radar fix/update will be confirmed by assessing the threat environment in which it is currently operat-
ing. Once this is accomplished, the operator may engage MGM or MAP and select FRZ with the FRZ function
switch. When FRZ is activated, the radar will complete the sweep it is currently conducting, then freeze the
display and stop transmitting. From this point, cursor operations may be conducted in the same manner as
described earlier, except that the radar picture is stationary and cursor operations may be conducted at the op-
erators leisure. Manual, ground, computer, and quick cursor are all operational in FRZ operation. If the cursor
placement is not correct, the cursor may be more accurately placed with the thumb tracker. The update/insert
functions can then be performed as previously described. Pressing FRZ a second time unfreezes the radar and
returns it to the operating mode engaged. This snapshot capability greatly reduces the emission time of the
LPCR, thus reducing the probability of detection.
17-22. AERIAL DELIVERY AND LANDING ZONE (LZ) APPROACH. Aerial deliveries and LZ approach re-
quire no special radar procedures. Radar updates can be maded using the standard methods available enroute.
One technique is to use the quick cursor so that cursor position has an immediate effect, after the INSERT/UP-
DATE switch is depressed, on the navigation solution that is being used for airplane guidance. Cursor Reset
17-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
will clear all updates; i.e., none are permanent. Updates to the navigation solution can then be made before
changing the cursor target. Another technique is to orient the radar display with the drop zone axis straight up.
17-23. WEATHER AVOIDANCE (WX) OPERATION. Weather avoidance is entered, once start-up BIT is com-
plete, by engaging WX mode. If the radar is in standby, WS, MAP, MGM, SP, or BCN mode when weather mode
is engaged, this mode is disengaged and only the weather avoidance mode is operational. The following range
scales may be selected: 1.5, 3, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, or 320 nm. Sector selections are the same as mapping
mode. Weather and turbulence data are displayed if the selected range scale is forty nm or less. When the
80 nm range mark is selected, weather and turbulence data are displayed for the first 50 nm. Weather data is
displayed beyond 50 nm. Only weather data is displayed for the 160 nm and 320 nm ranges. Rain will be color
coded using ARINC rain rate protocol. These colors, in increasing intensity, are black, green, yellow, red, and
magenta. The presence of turbulence is indicated via a white fill in the turbulent region. Used in conjunction with
the navigation (FP) overlay, the cursor may be used to define airplane routing around weather cells determined
to be hazardous to the airplane. By laying the cursor clear of the storm cell and activating the insert/update
switch, the navigation system may be updated to proceed directly to the cursor position. By laying the cursor
on the next desired point or a location on the preplanned route of flight, the desired routing may be reentered.
In addition to the flight plan overlay, the BCN mode may be engaged while operating in the weather mode. This
technique would be desirable when conducting airplane rendezvous in weather conditions and the airplanes are
equipped with radar beacons. Both flight plan and BCN overlays may be used simultaneously with the weather
display. WX may be engaged and controlled from the radar control panel by selecting the appropriate position
via the PSEL switch.
17-24. WINDSHEAR (WS) OPERATION. Windshear mode is initialized, once start-up BIT is complete, by
engaging WS mode switch. All other radar modes are disengaged on that channel, including Freeze mode. The
flight plan overlay, which may be used during WS operations, will not be disengaged. Several parameters are
set to a fixed value: tilt is fixed for a two bar scan pattern, gain is fixed, sector is 30, expand is 1:1, range is 10
nm, beam is pencil, video display is offset, and the display orientation is airplane heading up. These parameters
cannot be altered in this mode. Use of the windshear mode is warranted any time weather conditions, actual or
predicted, include the potential for windshear phenomena to occur. The windshear mode is a coherent pulse
doppler function designed to present low altitude windshear warnings when a potential short durationweather
disturbance, such as a micro burst is present. The presentation indicates the total hazard factor which has
been measured and calculated by the radar. These hazard factors are presented as blue, green, black, yellow,
red, and magenta. Flight plan may be overlaid on windshear to ensure that critical separation is maintained.
Additionally, weather data is simulta-neously available for the 10 mile range of the windshear mode, with the
weather intensity as an underlay to the windshear in four shades of gray (the four ARINC rain rate regions). In
addition to the display color depictions, three levels of alerts are generated:
– WINDSHEAR ADVISORY is an alert which requires aircrew awareness and may require crew
action. Generally a hazard at longer range.
– WINDSHEAR CAUTION is an alert which requires immediate aircrew awareness and subsequent
corrective action. Generally, a hazard at closer ranges or an exceptionally strong and increasing
windshear.
– WINDSHEAR WARNING is a flashing alert which requires immediate corrective action by the
aircrew. Generally, a hazardous area.
17-25. SKIN PAINT OPERATION. The skin paint mode detects and displays medium-sized airborne targets
out to a range of 20 nm. If the radar is operating in a range greater than 20 nm when skin paint is engaged, the
range scale defaults to 20 nm. The display format for skin paint is an offset sector PPI. The sector size selections
are 15, 30, and 60 degrees. Antenna beam shape is always pencil. The target symbol is a filled square with a
direction indicator that points toward or away from the center of the display. The direction indicator provides the
ability to tell if the target is extending from or closing on the airplane, while the length of the indicator is related to
the radial velocity of the target. The size of the square is related to the radar cross section (RCS) of the target.
The target must pass an RCS threshold in order to be displayed. The gain control varies this threshold and
can provide decluttering in dense target environments. A one frame history function decrements the symbol
intensity for skin paint targets and keeps them on display for one additional scan. Skin paint is engaged by
pressing the SP switch. If the radar is operating in any other mode when skin paint is engaged that mode is
disengaged and only skin paint mode is active on that channel. The antenna tilt and cursor position may be
adjusted to search/track the desired azimuth/elevation segments.
17-4
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
When operating in skin paint mode, beacon mode may be engaged for overlay. Engaging beacon does not
change any of the operating parameters already selected. The flight plan overlay may also be engaged, how-
ever, it must be engaged via a SAMU. Engaging/disengaging the flight plan overlay will not alter any of the
parameters already established for skin paint. Beacon and flight plan overlays may operate simultaneously on
skin paint. Skin paint is useful for detecting/tracking airborne targets of interest (TOI), conducting rendezvous,
conducting specific airplane rendezvous in conjunction with beacon operation, and providing limited instrument
meteorological condition formation capability.
17-26. BEACON. The beacon mode provides the capability to interrogate and display responses from ground
beacon and air beacon transponders at ranges up to 40 nm. These beacons are interrogated at 9375 MHz
and they respond at 9310 MHz. The interrogation pulses are 2.36 microseconds in duration. Beacon mode is
engaged by pressing the beacon switch on the radar control panel. On the full channel, if the radar is in standby
or windshear mode when beacon is engaged these modes are disengaged and only beacon mode is active. If
the radar is operating in MAP, MGM, WX, or SP mode when beacon is engaged the beacon data is an overlay.
The beacon symbols are arcs whose azimuth is a function of the angular width over which the beacon was
triggered. This mechanism provides a visual feedback that enables adjustment of the antenna tilt to center the
beacon in the elevation pattern of the beam. Adjustment of the gain control varies the azimuth extent of the
beacon symbol such that lowering the gain provides a method to precisely locate the azimuth center of the
beacon return.
When beacon is engaged as the primary operating mode, the valid range scales are 1.5, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 40
nm, with the range scales defaulting to 40 nm if the previous operating mode range scale was greater than 40
nm. When the beacon mode is engaged as an overlay, the range scale selected for the primary operating mode
is not altered. Beam shape defaults to pencil, however, the beam switch is active and the antenna beam shape
may be alternated between fan and pencil by selecting beam on the radar control panel and pressing the rocker
switch. Sector selections are 135 degrees, 60 degrees, 30 degrees, and 15 degrees.
When beacon is engaged as an overlay, only three controls affect the beacon presentation. These are TILT,
GAIN, and PEN. To alter the underlay, beacon must be disengaged. The flight plan overlay must be selected
via the appropriate AMU. The intensity level of the flight plan may be adjusted by using the controls on the radar
control panel. Flight plan may be disengaged without affecting the beacon operation.
17-27. INTEGRATED PRECISION RADAR APPROACH (IPRA) The LCPR supports IPRA mode which mea-
sures aircraft position relative to a ground placed X-band radar beacon transponder. It performs similar to a
microwave landing system. The LPCR searches for beacon returns based on the estimated location of the air-
craft and the estimated location of the runway point of intercept (RPI). No video is produced in IPRA mode. IPRA
can operate simultaneously with monopulse ground mapping, weather mode, windshear mode, skin paint mode
or beacon mode. This allows monitoring other radar modes while flying an IPRA approach. No LCPR mode is
able to bump the system out of IPRA mode. IPRA must be deselected via the CNI-MU IPRA pages. The freeze
function of the LCPR, which normally stops antenna scan and stops all LCPR emissions, is disabled when IPRA
is active. Selecting IPRA mode while freeze is on will cause freeze to toggle off. Using the SAMU, the IPRA
flight plan overlay can be superimposed upon the nav radar display and the digital map display. IPRA may also
be selected via the SAMU to drive the course deviation indicator (CDI) on either or both primary flight displays.
Engaging the autopilot with APPR selected on the reference set/mode select panel and IPRA selected as the
CDI source via the AMU enables IPRA to provide lateral and vertical guidance to the autopilot (Figure 17-6).
17-28. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built -In Test (BIT) performed by
the LPCR system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power
is applied to the RTP and the system performs a start-up BIT, system calibration, and end-to-end test of all
components except the discrete switches. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be
sent to the ACAWS. When the power up sequence is completed, the radar is placed in standby mode and all
parameters are set to default values. During normal operation, the radar performs an automatic circuit breaker
IT during antenna scan turnaround times. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete
output will be sent to the ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting
functional performance.

SECTION XVIII
18-1. DESCRIPTION
18-2. GENERAL
18-3. The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) provides the flight crew with aural and visual
advisories to alert them of potential collision. The advisories are of varying levels and priorities. There are two
types of advisories; Traffic Advisories (TA) and Resolution Advisories (RA). The TA display alerts the flight crew
to the relative position of nearby aircraft that are, or could become, collision threats. TA threat alerts are issued
when the TCAS processor predicts the intruder aircraft is passing within approximately 40 seconds from the
closest point of approach and may result in a near miss or collision. TA presentations do not contain suggested
maneuvering information. The RA displays provide indications to the flight crew recommending either a vertical
maneuver to increase separation relative to the intruding aircraft, or a warning not to perform any change in
condition. RA advisories are classified as corrective or preventive. RA threat alerts are issued when the TCAS
processor predicts the intruder aircraft is passing within approximately 25 seconds from the closest point of
approach and is likely to result in a near-miss or collision. A TCAS warning indication is shown whenever an
RA condition exists. The TCAS display characters are color specific and conform to NVIS compatibility. TCAS
incorporates the use of an Identification Friend Or Foe (IFF) transponder system to provide the interrogation
transmit/receive response signal interface to the TCAS processor. The TCAS cannot provide any indication of
potential traffic conflict with an aircraft not equipped with an operating Air Traffic Control (ATC) transponder. The
detection and tracking of an intruder aircraft is performed by the top and bottom TCAS directional antennas. A
TA is generated for aircraft with an operating Mode S, Mode C, or Mode 3/A transponder. The TCAS can only
generate vertical maneuvering RA for intruder aircraft equipped with an operating Mode C or Mode S transpon-
der, which provides altitude information. TCAS only generates TA for nonaltitude reporting aircraft. Controls
located on the Communication / Navigation / Identification Management Units (CNI-MU ) provide TCAS control
functions. The Single Avionics Management Unit (SAMU) provides control of the overlay functions of TCAS
information on the Color Multifunction Display Units (CMDU).
18-5. The TCAS consists of an TCAS Processor, a Processor Mount, and Upper and Lower Directional
Antennas (Figure 18-1).
18-6. TCAS PROCESSOR. The TCAS Processor is the master control unit in the TCAS system. It consists
of a combined computerized control system and L-band receiver/transmitter. The TCAS Processor provides
intruder aircraft surveillance and tracking, generates RA for intruder aircraft with altitude reporting transponders,
and coordinates RA with TCAS equipped intruders. It determines if a climb or descent is necessary to maintain
vertical separation. It also generates TA to determine potential conflicts and provide timely advisories to the
flight crew. Operation of the TCAS is controlled by TCAS software resident in the computer control memory.
18-7. PROCESSOR MOUNT. Provides a physical attachment point between the Processor and aircraft and
mounts the cooling fan.
18-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
18-8. DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA. The Directional Antenna allows bearings of intruder aircraft to be deter-
mined by providing the means for the TCAS processor to transmit interrogations and receive reply receptions on
one of four antenna beams. By selecting the beam, the TCAS processor electronically points the antenna in a
surveillance direction during TCAS transmit and receive operations. Full bearing coverage is achieved by a top
and a bottom directional antenna system. The directional antennas contain an array of four passive, steerable,
radiating elements mounted at 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees in relation to the vertical
axis of the antenna. Received signal phasing is determined by the direction from which the RF energy is re-
ceived. The directional antennas are passive devices and do not require any input power. When the landing
gear is down, the bottom antenna becomes omni-directional and does not provide bearing. Intruder bearing is
still available from the top antenna (Figure 18-2).
18-10. GENERAL. TCAS identifies nearby aircraft with altitude reporting transponders and provides verti-
cal guidance to preserve altitude separation. This independent means of providing separation is intended as
a backup to the ground-based air traffic control (ATC) system and to supplement the see and avoid concept.
Aircraft using transponders that do not have altitude reporting capabilities will be identified, but vertical sepa-
ration will not be provided. TCAS detects the presence of nearby intruder aircraft equipped with transponders
that reply to ATC Radar Beacon Systems (ATCRBS), Mode S, Mode C, or Mode 3/A interrogations. The TCAS
provides aural and visual advisories to the flight crew, who can then respond with appropriate evasive maneu-
vers to ensure adequate separation between aircraft when own aircraft TCAS processor determines an intruder
aircraft is likely to penetrate the protected airspace. TCAS will change to TA ONLY mode automatically for a
Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) alert or a Low Power Color Radar (LPCR) windshear alert. TCAS
automatically reverts to the previously selected mode when a GCAS or windshear alert condition no longer ex-
ists. The normal boundary limits for TCAS detection is approximately 40 nm (74 km) forward, 15 nm (27.7 km)
either side and 12 nm (22.2 km) aft to a relative altitude separation of 8700 feet (2651.8 m) around own aircraft
(Figure 18-3).
18-11. AURAL AND VISUAL ANNUNCIATIONS. TCAS messages generated are visually annunciated on the
CMDU, and aurally annunciated via the Intercommunication System (ICS). After a TA or RA has been declared,
the intruder position is displayed on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), and
is retained until all TA and RA have been cleared. The highest five priority intruders, regardless of type, will be
displayed. The active TCAS mode is visually displayed on the PFD and NAV and radar displays when TCAS
overlays are selected (Figure 18-4), (Figure 18-5), and (Figure 18-6).
18-12. TCAS CONTROL. The primary control for the TCAS is through the CNI-MU.
18-13. TRAFFIC ADVISORY. A TA is displayed for all potential threat intruders as determined by the TCAS
processor. The display assists the flight crew in visually locating intruding aircraft. The issuance of a TA causes
a visual indication of the intruders relative range, altitude and bearing to be displayed on the PFD. The TCAS
processor causes the aircraft ICS to announce TRAFFIC TRAFFIC message at the time a TA is issued. This
voice message is not repeated for the same intruder. The actual time of the display and message depends upon
ownship altitude and sensitivity level. This will occur only if there is no current RA active. If a TA occurs during an
RA, the TA is announced after the RA is cleared. TA information given to the pilot pertaining to another aircraft
in the immediate vicinity contains no suggested maneuver.
18-14. Resolution Advisory (RA). A RA is split into two subcategories, depending upon the intruder altitude
and airspeed. The Corrective Advisory (aural and visual), advises the flight crew to perform a vertical maneuver
that would increase vertical separation at the Closest Point Of Approach (CPA) to to avoid conflicts with other
aircraft. The Preventive Advisory (aural and visual), advises the flight crew to continue the current maneuver
and warns against maneuvers that could reduce vertical separation of CPA to prevent conflicts with other air-
craft. Climb, for example, is corrective if the aircraft is level. In a multi-aircraft encounter, both corrective and
preventive conditions may exist simultaneously. In this case, the corrective advisory will have aural annunciation
precedence and both conditions may be visually presented. A RA directs only vertical avoidance.
18-15. TCAS MODE MESSAGES. TCAS mode messages, associated with the four normal modes and two
failure modes, are annunciated on the NAV display, radar display, and the PFD as full time annunciations. The
full time annunciations are TCAS TEST, TCAS STBY, TA ONLY, and TCAS TA/RA (or TCAS FAIL and NO TCAS).
18-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
One of these modes will be annunciated at all times. TCAS operates all the standard TCAS functions while it is
operating.
– TCAS TEST. A functional self-test of TCAS is initiated by pressing the IFF mode test on the IFF
page of the CNI-MU. TCAS TEST is displayed as the TCAS mode on the PFD for the length of the
test. The test displays representative TCAS alerts and performs an initiated background check of
the system. A successful test returns TCAS back into the mode it was in prior to going into TEST.
A failed test generates an annunciation of TCAS FAIL, or other status, to ACAWS for display on
the PFD. TCAS uses the weight on wheels status to inhibit the test mode inflight.
– TCAS STBY. This is the TCAS power-up mode. All TCAS broadcast, surveillance, and tracking
operations are disabled. TCAS traffic display is blanked except for a TCAS STBY mode annunci-
ation.
– TA ONLY. This mode assists the flight crew in visually locating an intruder. The display symbology
represents the range, bearing, and relative or absolute altitude (if selected). The information con-
tains no suggested maneuver. The TA, proximity, and non-threat category aircraft are displayed,
and no RA are annunciated.
– TCAS TA/RA. This mode displays TA and RA information. The RA information indicates the action
the flight crew should take (and/or avoid taking) to minimize the risk of collision.
– NO TCAS. An indication that TCAS data is not provided to the mission computer. Normally asso-
ciated with the TCAS power OFF condition. Can represent a fault condition when a TCAS FAIL
ACAWS message exists.
– TCAS FAIL. An indication that the TCAS system is powered but is not functional due to an asso-
ciated subsystem condition or failure. Will be accompanied by appropriate ACAWS and fault log
message.
18-16. The CNI-MU also controls an ABOVE, NORM, and BELOW altitude range function, flight level (FL)
selection and mode S identification selection.
– ABOVE, NORM, and BELOW. This function selects altitude display limits for non-threat and prox-
imity category intruders on the traffic display. Selection of ABOVE displays non-threat intruders
from 8700 ft (2651.8 m) above own aircraft to 2700 ft (823 m) below own aircraft. The NORM func-
tion displays non-threat intruders up to 2700 ft (823 m) above aircraft and down to 2700 ft (823
m) below own aircraft. Selection of BELOW displays non-threat intruders from 8700 ft (2651.8 m)
below own aircraft to 2700 ft (823 m) above own aircraft.
– FL FUNCTION. This is an on/off switch that allows all TCAS intruders to be displayed in absolute
flight levels.
– MODE S. This entry allows the flight crew to change their Mode S code for specific military oper-
ations.
18-17. TCAS AURAL MESSAGES. The following are aural TCAS messages. The number of times each
message will sound for each alert appears in parentheses. The aural messages are inhibited when any one of
the advisory inhibit discrete inputs of the TCAS processor is active, as a result of own aircraft windshear, ground
collision avoidance system (GCAS), or other external warning systems.
– Traffic Advisory.
• MONITOR VERTICAL SPEED (2) - A red ribbon restricts a region of the VVI for the PFD,
current vertical speed is permitted.
• CLIMB (3) - Climb at a rate shown on the RA indicator, nominally 1500 FPM.
• DESCEND (3) - Descend at the rate shown on the RA indicator, nominally 1500 FPM.
• CLIMB CROSSING CLIMB (2) - Same as climb except that it further indicates momentarily
passing co-altitude with conflicting traffic.
18-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
• DESCEND CROSSING DESCEND (2) - Same as descend except that it further indicates
momentarily passing co-altitude with conflicting traffic.
• INCREASE CLIMB (2) - Follows a climb advisory. The vertical speed should be increased to
that shown on the RA indicator, nominally 2500 FPM.
• INCREASE DESCENT (2) - Follows a descend advisory. The vertical speed should be in-
creased to that shown on the RA, nominally 2500 FPM.
• CLIMB, CLIMB, NOW (2) - Follows a descend advisory when it has been determined that a
reversal of vertical speed is needed to provide adequate separation.
• DESCEND, DESCEND, NOW (2) - Follows a climb advisory when it has been determined that
a reversal of vertical speed is needed to provide adequate separation.
• CLEAR OF CONFLICT (1) - The encounter has ended, range has started to increase.
18-19. TRAFFIC DISPLAYS. The threat traffic displays provide visual acquisition of threat aircraft by showing
relative horizontal positions of intruding aircraft. The displays are oriented with the forward direction of own
aircraft pointing toward the top of the display. Intruder positions in the horizontal plane are marked by distinctive
symbols; squares, circles, and diamonds. Overlapping position symbols are also displayed. Up to 30 intruders
can be displayed on the PFD NAV format overlay. The PFD HSI displays the five nearest intruders when a TA
or RA is present (Figure 18-7).
18-4
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
18-20. DATA TAG. If the intruding aircraft is transmitting altitude information, a data tag is presented along
with the symbol. The data tag includes altitude separation or, if selected, Flight Level (FL) data. The data tag is
the same color as the intruder symbol. It consists of two digits, indicating the altitude difference in hundreds of
feet. For an intruder above own aircraft, the digits are placed above the symbol and preceded by a plus (+) sign.
For an intruder below, the digits are placed below the symbol and preceded by a minus (-) sign. The co-altitude
digits, 00, indicate the data tag for an intruder located within plus or minus 100 feet (30.5 m) of own aircraft.
These co-altitude digits are placed above or below the intruder symbol, depending on the direction from which
the intruder approached co-altitude. The data tag for TCAS is the Mode 3/A code for the associated intruder.
The TCAS data tag is to the left of the intruder symbol. A vertical arrow to the right of the intruder symbol is
displayed if the vertical speed of the intruder is equal to or greater than 500 FPM, with the arrow pointing up for
climb and down for descending traffic.
18-21. FL FUNCTION. An intruder symbol on the PFD is accompanied by textual data adjacent to the symbol
that indicates the intruder’s relative altitude. Textual data is also displayed in the corner of the display for own
aircraft. The FL function on/off switch on the CNI-MU allows the intruder’s FL, in multiples of 1000 feet (305
m), to be displayed next to its position marker. Selecting the FL switch on the CNI-MU replaces the intruder’s
altitude indication with its FL, provided the intruder’s altitude is at least 18000 feet (5486.4 m). If its altitude is
less the 18000 feet, (5486.4 m) the intruder’s FL is displayed when valid barometric corrections are available.
While in the FL display, TA and RA are displayed in relative altitude. Once the TA or RA concludes, the display
reverts back to the previously selected FL mode. The flight level of intruders requires three digits. In this case,
three digits will be displayed with no + or − displayed.
18-22. TA AND RA. TA and RA are determined as a function of the threat logic in TCAS. The target symbol
for an RA is a solid red square with a data tag, and the target symbol for a TA is a solid yellow circle with a data
tag.
18-23. PROXIMITY TRAFFIC. Proximity traffic is defined to be any aircraft within six nm (11.1 km) and within
1200 feet (365.8 m) vertically. The target symbol for proximity traffic is a solid white diamond with a data tag.
18-24. NON-THREAT TRAFFIC. Non-threat traffic is defined as any other traffic within the range of the dis-
play. The target symbol for the other traffic shall be an open white diamond outlined with a data tag.
18-25. TCAS MESSAGES AND ADVISORIES. TCAS messages and advisories may be inhibited automati-
cally by the TCAS processor during certain phases of flight. The DESCEND command is inhibited below 700 ft
(213.3 m) above ground level (AGL). The INCREASE DESCENT command is inhibited below 1450 ft (442 m)
AGL. All RA and aural traffic advisories are inhibited below 900 ft (274.3 m) AGL.
18-26. HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI). The PFD HSI is a part time display area for TCAS.
TCAS information is displayed on a part time basis and only for TA and RA. An outer ring comprises the outside
of the HSI ticks and represents six nm. A two nm ring is made up of curved dashed segments drawn to scale with
the outer ring. The color of the ring is white. The target symbol occludes a portion of the HSI display to ensure
the TA or RA is clearly identified. A maximum of five targets are displayed, with RA taking priority over TA, in
order of priority as provided by the TCAS processor. If the threat aircraft is off scale, it is displayed by placing
half of the appropriate symbol, with full data tag, at the edge of the display in the direction of the measured
bearing to the target. The data tag remains in relative position to the center of the target symbol. The target
symbol and data tag may be clipped as they contact the outer edge of the HSI. The target symbol is clipped to
no less than half the target symbol size.
18-27. VERTICAL VELOCITY INDICATOR (VVI). The PFD displays TCAS alerts using a tape VVI that is
presented only for an RA. Once the RA is over, the tape VVI for TCAS is removed from the displays. The tape
VVI on the PFD is color, with prohibited vertical flight path in red, and the fly to area in green.
18-28. OFF-SCALE DISPLAY. The NAV/RADAR displays display off-scale TA and RA aircraft whenever the
threat aircraft exceed the viewing range of the display. The target symbol is displayed by placing half of the
appropriate symbol, with a full data tag, at the edge of the display area, in the direction of the measured bearing
of the target. The target symbol and data tag may be clipped as it contacts the edge of the viewing range of the
NAV or radar display. The data tag remains in relative position to the center of the target symbol. The symbol
tracks the edge of the viewing range of the display as long as usable bearing can be displayed. When usable
bearing can no longer be displayed, a TA NOT DSPL or RA NOT DSPL message is annunciated on that display.
If two symbols overlap, the highest priority symbol wil be displayed on top.

18-29. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. A powerup BIT is conducted to test all TCAS internal and
external interfaces. If no failures are detected, the system advances to the flight operation state. If a failure is
detected, a TCAS FAIL message is sent to the Mission Computer (MC) for generation of an Advisory Caution
And Warning System (ACAWS) message, and the results of the test are stored in non-volatile memory in the
MC to be included in the maintenance data downloaded to the Portable Maintenance Aid (MIMS). The flight
operation state is the normal operating state for TCAS. In this state, the TCAS performs the warning and con-
tinuous BIT functions. Continuous BIT is performed as a background function and automatically tests, detects,
isolates, and records intermittent and steady-state failures.
18-30. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message PA FAIL.If a failure is detected, ACAWS displays a TCAS FAIL message on the PFD.

SECTION XIX
19-1. DESCRIPTION
19-2. GENERAL
19-3. The equipment V/UHF Direction Finder (V/UHF DF) system is a relative bearing finder used in con-
junction with the No. 1 V/UHF communication system. The equipment provides DF capability in the frequency
range of 100.0 MHz to 399.5 MHz. The relative bearing information is displayed by the No. 1 bearing pointer on
the pilot’s and copilot’s primary flight displays (PFD). The system operates only when ADF is selected on the
No. 1 V/UHF communication system and no interphone station is attempting to use V/UHF communications.
Control of the equipment V/UHF direction finder system is through the Communication/ Navigation/ Identification
Management System (CNI-MS) and the Single Avionics Management Unit (SAMU).
19-8. GENERAL. The antenna section of Antenna/Receiver receives an incoming V/UHF signal and ampli-
tude modulates it. Direction is displayed on the PFD. Solid state rotation of the antenna translates the spatial
angle of the incoming RF signal into a phase difference between the antenna RF modulated output and a refer-
ence signal which is synchronous with the antenna rotation. This phase difference is a function of the relative
bearing of the incoming signal. The antenna RF output is fed to a preamplifier, and from there it is fed to the
V/UHF Comm No. 1 receiver-transmitter. In the V/UHF receiver-transmitter the signal is demodulated and the
low frequency audio signal is returned to the audio section of the DF Antenna/Receiver. The audio section
processes the demodulated low frequency signal and compares it to a reference signal synchronous with the
antenna position. The result of this comparison is applied to a standard servo loop to drive antenna rotation until
the antenna reference signal and the processed demodulated bearing signal null each other out. The resultant
change in position of the antenna represents the bearing of the incoming V/UHF signal compared to the airplane
line of flight. This bearing signal is supplied to the Bus Interface Unit (BIU), for transfer to the Mission Computer
via a MIL-STD-1553B data bus (Figure 19-2).
19-9. The Antenna/Receiver frequency tuning is accomplished through the two CNI-MU and the CNRP panel
located on the center console.

FAM.1C-27J-2-10
19-10. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. Direction Finder equipment failures detected by BIT are
flagged to the Mission Computers via the 1553B Comm/Nav Bus and the CNI-SP. The Mission Computers gen-
erate an ACAWS message and direct the ICS-CSU to output an advisory audio tone to the flight station headsets
and cockpit loudspeakers indicating an advisory message. An ACAWS text message is also generated and dis-
played on the ACAWS display.
19-11. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message VHF DF FAIL.
19-12. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The main DC bus supplies 28 V dc power to the Antenna/Receiver through
the DF circuit breaker. A 26 V ac synchro reference voltage is supplied by BIU No. 1. The DF circuit breaker is
powered by the following bus:

TACAN SYSTEM
20-1. DESCRIPTION
20-2. GENERAL
20-3. The advanced digital TACAN system is a polar coordinate navigation system used to determine the rel-
ative bearing and/or slant-range distance, velocity, and time-to-go to a TACAN ground station (surface beacon)
or cooperating aircraft transmitting bearing and/or distance information. The TACAN system does not produce
and transmit bearing information. Only distance information is supplied to an interrogating aircraft. Operating
range of the TACAN system is limited to line-of-sight and depends on the aircraft altitude and type of terrain. The
TACAN system utilizes the MIL-STD-1553B (1553B) data bus for interface between the TACAN receiver-trans-
mitter, mission computer, and Communication/Navigation/ Identification Management System (CNI-MS).
20-5. The TACAN systems consist of two TACAN Receiver-Transmitters (R/T) and shares four communica-
tions antennas with V/UHF No. 1 and V/UHF No. 2 (Figure 20-1).
20-6. RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER. The R/T are located under the radome on the bulkhead. The R/T is
controlled from the CNI-MU (ICDU). The system operates on a selected channel from 252 TACAN channels
available. The 252 channels are equally divided into 126 X channels and 126 Y channels, with both X and Y
channels spaced 1 MHz apart. The transmitter section transmits interrogation pulses in the frequency ranges
of 1,025 to 1,150 MHz. The receiver section operates in the frequency range of 962 to 1,213 MHz. The receiver
section receives surface beacon pulses and prepares the information to be sent to the Mission Computer (MC)
for distribution to the digital flight director system and the Primary Flight Display (PFD) horizontal situation indi-
cator for use by the flight crew for navigation guidance.
20-9. GENERAL. The AN/ARN-153 TACAN system operates in the following modes: Receive (REC), Trans-
mit-Receive (T/R), Air-to-Air Transmit-Receive (A/A T/R), Air-to-Air Receive (A/A REC), and self-test.
20-10. Receive (REC) Mode. In the REC mode, the TACAN system measures the fundamental bearing of
a selected TACAN surface beacon. The fundamental bearing is the angle to the surface beacon referenced to
magnetic north. The continuously transmitted bearing signal from the surface beacon is received by the airborne
TACAN antenna and supplied to the TACAN system). Relative bearing of the surface beacon is calculated in the
CNI-MS from this TACAN fundamental bearing and the aircraft heading from the embedded global positioning
system. Course information is added to the bearing information and the CNI-MS calculates course deviation and
TO-FROM information. The absolute bearing, course deviation, distance, and TO-FROM information is sent to
the mission computer for display on the PFD HSI for use by the flight crew.
TACAN Surface Beacon Channel. The flight crew selects the desired TACAN surface beacon channel and the
receive (REC) mode on the CNI-MU (ICDU). The CNI-MU produces a control word which contains channel,
20-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
mode, and data transmission control information. The control word is applied via the 1553B data bus to the
R/T. The control word tunes the R/T to the correct frequency for the selected surface beacon channel. When
two antennas are used, it is possible that a usable signal can only be obtained from one of the two antennas.
The control word mode information places the R/T in the receive mode. In the receive mode, the R/T does not
interrogate the surface beacon but receives the continuously transmitted bearing signal. The 962 to 1213 MHz
signal is received on either antenna 1 or 2 and supplied to the R/T. The specific frequency in the 962 to 1213
MHz frequency range depends on the channel selected. Antenna scanning is software inhibited in air-to-ground
modes and only the lower antenna is used.
Bearing Signal. The R/T processes the incoming signal to calculate the aircraft bearing with respect to the
selected TACAN surface beacon. The digital bearing information is interfaced with aircraft magnetic bearing
inputs from the embedded global positioning system to generate relative bearing. This information is sent, via
1553B data bus, to the mission computer for display on the PFD HSI. The PFD HSI displays relative bearing to
the surface beacon, deviation from selected course, and whether the selected course is toward or away from
the surface beacon. When the aircraft is flying a heading equal to the relative bearing and selected course, the
Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) is centered and the TO-FROM arrow indicates that the aircraft is flying to the
surface beacon. When the aircraft is flying a heading equal to the course, and the relative bearing is 180 degrees
from the heading, the CDI will be centered and the TO-FROM arrow indicates the aircraft is flying directly away
from the beacon. Bearing data to selected station is digitally displayed on the PFD HSI.
Station Identification Signal. At approximately 30 second intervals, the surface beacon is interrupted and re-
placed with a 1350 Hz station identification signal. The signal is a 3 or 4 letter code group that is decoded by the
processor inside the R/T to generate the aural identification signal. The identification signal is supplied to the
Intercommunication System (ICS). The flight crew adjusts the volume control for the desired audio level. When
signals from more than one station are being received the processor garbles the identification signal, making
it unintelligible. This alerts the flight crew that the information displayed by the navigation instruments may be
from a station other than selected and should be cross-checked against other flight information available in the
cockpit or totally disregarded.
20-11. Transmit-Receive Mode. In the T/R mode, the TACAN system measures fundamental bearing and
calculates relative bearing, slant-range distance, velocity, and time-to-station to the selected TACAN surface
beacon. The TACAN system interrogates the surface beacon and the surface beacon inserts a distance reply
pulse pair into the transmitted surface beacon signal. The signal is received by the airborne TACAN antenna
and supplied to the R/T for processing and generation of distance and bearing, and to the CNI-SP to calculate
course deviation. The bearing-to-station, distance and course deviation are sent from the CNI-SP to the mission
computer for display on the HSI.
Frequency Selection. The flight crew selects the desired TACAN station frequency (channel) and T/R mode on
the CNI-MU or CNBP. The CNI-SP sends to the TACAN R/T, via the 1553B data bus, the control word which
contains channel, mode, and transmission control information. In T/R mode, both the receiver and transmitter
circuits are enabled. However, the transmitter is inhibited unless a valid TACAN signal is being received from
the surface beacon.
Control Word. The input/output control circuits receives the 1553B data bus control word and supplies the se-
lected control information to the processor assembly. The processor decodes the word and supplies tuning and
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) signals to the transmitter and receiver circuits. The control word mode informa-
tion places the receiver in the T/R mode. In T/R mode, both the transmitter and receiver circuits are enabled,
however the transmitter is inhibited unless a valid TACAN signal is being received from the surface beacon.
Antenna scanning (for signal strength) is software inhibited in air-to-ground modes and only the lower antenna
is used.
Bearing Signal. Processing of the bearing information is the same as described in REC mode operation,
Paragraph 20-10.
Distance Information. Calculation of distance information begins by transmitting an interrogation pulse to the
surface beacon. At transmit time, the processor generates a Power Amplifier (PA) trigger pulse pair to turn the
transmitter circuits on. The transmitter is tuned to the correct frequency and produces a 1025 to 1150 MHz
interrogation pulse pair that is supplied to the T/R switch. The exact frequency of the pulse pair depends on
which TACAN channel has been selected. Interrogation pulse pairs are generated at nominal 64 Pulse Pairs
Per Second (pp/s) when the R/T is in the search mode and a nominal 12 pp/s when the R/T is in the track mode.
Suppression Pulse. Along with the interrogation pulse pairs, a suppression pulse is supplied to the T/R switch.
The suppression pulse enables the T/R switch to pass the interrogation pulse to the antenna circuits and blocks
the interrogation pulses from entering the receiver. The receiver operates at very low power levels. High power
interrogation pulses will cause damage to the receiver.
20-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
Antenna Circuit. The antenna circuits radiate interrogation pulses to the surface beacon. After the surface
beacon receives the interrogation pulse a 50 microsecond delay occurs before a distance reply is generated.
The surface beacon inserts the distance reply into the distance/bearing signals transmitted back to the TACAN
system. The TACAN antenna receives the 962 to 1213 MHz signal from the surface and supplies it via the T/R
switch to the receiver circuits. The receiver converts the distance reply into a video signal that is supplied to the
processor.
Processor. The processor decodes the distance reply pulses and calculates slant-range distance, aircraft veloc-
ity, and time-to-station to the selected surface beacon. Slant-range distance, velocity, and time-to-station words
are output from the processor. Slant range distance, aircraft velocity, and time-to-station words are combined
with bearing word information and sent, via 1553B data bus, to the CNI-SP which supplies the data to the mis-
sion computer for display on the PFD HSI.
T/R Audio Identification. Processing of the bearing information is the same as described in REC mode operation,
Paragraph 20-10.
20-12. Air-to-Air Transmit-Receive (A/A T/R) Mode. In all TACAN systems there is the possibility of interfer-
ence from IFF transponder, and DME signals when operating in the air-to-air modes. This is minimized when
the Y channels are used in air-to-air modes and channels 1 through 11, 58 through 74, and 121 through 126 are
avoided. In A/A T/R mode, the TACAN system receives information from a cooperating aircraft (airborne beacon)
equipped to transmit bearing and distance signals. When the AGC in the R/T is disabled, bearing information
becomes unreliable and only distance information is available. If the cooperating aircraft is not equipped with
bearing producing and transmitting equipment, only distance information is received in A/A T/R mode. Before
beginning operation, the cooperating aircraft must be contacted to establish transmit/receive frequencies with a
63 channel separation. This separation simulates the normal spacing between frequencies when a surface bea-
con is used. While in A/A T/R mode, the TACAN system can transmit range replies to at least five interrogating
aircraft. The TACAN operates as described for the T/R mode, except that the transmitter is enabled, operating
whether or not a valid TACAN signal is being received from the airborne beacon and antenna scanning is en-
abled. When two antennas are used, it is possible that a usable signal can only be obtained from one of the two
antennas. The R/T scans both antennas until a usable beacon signal is received, then scanning stops and the
antenna with the usable signal is used to receive the beacon signal. The flight crew selects A/A T/R from the
CNI-MU or CNBP, and the control word is supplied to the processor from the CNI-SP via the 1553B data bus.
The processor decodes the control word and supplies tuning, AGC, suppression signals to the transmitter and
receiver circuits, and the T/R switch. In A/A T/R, both the transmitter and receiver are enabled to interrogate
and receive information from an aircraft transmitting distance and bearing information. The TACAN system also
responds by generating distance replies when receiving interrogations from other aircraft. The distance replies
are similar to those generated by a surface beacon, except that only a single reply pulse is generated.
20-13. Air-to-Air Receive Mode. The TACAN system operates as described for REC mode of operation,
except the bearing information is received from a cooperating aircraft (airborne beacon) transmitting bearing
information and antenna scanning is enabled. The R/T scans both antennas until a usable beacon signal is
received, then scanning stops and the antenna with the usable signal is used to receive the beacon signal.
The cooperating aircraft must be contacted to establish operating channels with a 63-channel separation. The
separation simulates the normal spacing between transmit and receive frequencies when a surface beacon is
used. The flight crew selects the desired TACAN surface beacon channel and the receive (A/A REC) mode on
the CNI-MU or CNBP. The CNI-SP produces a control word which contains channel, mode, and transmission
control information. The control word is applied via the 1553B data bus to the R/T (Figure 20-2).
20-14. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by the
TACAN system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is
applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the
power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
20-15. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message TACAN 1/2 FAIL.
20-16. POWER DISTRIBUTION. (Figure 20-2) Power to the TACAN 1/2 system is controlled by the CNI/MU,
controlling the BAU Type II No. 1/2 output to the coil of the TACAN 1/2 power relay. When the relay is energized,

SECTION XXI
21-1. DESCRIPTION
21-2. GENERAL
21-3. The Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system provides automatic radar identification of the airplane
when interrogated by surface or airborne radar sets. The system also enables friendly airplanes to identify
themselves apart from other friendly airplanes, and provides a means of transmitting a special code signal,
known as an emergency reply. In addition to identification information, the Mode C and Mode S reply signal
reports the altitude of the airplane. All identification operations are performed via the IFF pages on each Com-
munication/Navigation/ Identification Management Unit (CNI-MU ). IFF Mode 3/A codes also are set via the
Communication/ Navigation Radio Panel (CNRP). The Data Conversion Unit (DCU) interfaces with the Bus In-
terface Unit (BIU) for receiving and transmitting messages to and from the Receiver-Transmitter (R/T) and the
Mission Computer (MC).
21-5. The IFF system consists of an IFF receiver-transmitter (transponder), mounting tray, data conversion
unit and one each top and bottom antennas (Figure 21-1).
21-6. TRANSPONDER. The transponder is located under the cockpit floor on the left side. The construction
of the transponder utilizes plug-in modules to facilitate maintenance. The front of the transponder contains a
zeroize pushbutton switch, a battery cover plate, one fuse holder, two status indicators, two cable connectors,
two antenna connectors, fill/pass green LED, a fill connector, and a carrying handle. The R/T status indicator
reflects a fault within the transponder and the ANT status indicator indicates an antenna failure due to high
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR).
21-7. TRANSPONDER MOUNT. Provides a physical attachment point between the R/T and aircraft.
21-8. DATA CONVERSION UNIT. The DCU is located on shelf 302VE in the avionics rack. The DCU inter-
faces with the BIU for receiving and transmitting message conversion. Messages are received through the BIU
in RS-232 format, and converted to RS-485 format for transmitting to the transponder. The DCU also, receives
RS-485 formatted information from the transponder and converts the information to RS-232 format for the BIU,
which transmits that information to the Mission Computer via a MIL-STD- 1553B (1553B) data bus.
21-9. ANTENNAS. The lower slot type L - Band antenna. is flush mounted on the bottom of the wheel well
fairing. The upper blade type antenna is mounted on the upper fuselage centeline.
21-11. GENERAL. The IFF system operates in the following modes: 1, 2, 3/A, C, 4, S and TEST. The system
can transmit a coded reply in response to an interrogation if the signals contain the proper characteristics for the
mode selected. An interrogation signal consists of a pair of pulses spaced at accurate intervals (Figure 21-2).
21-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
Mode 1 interrogation is a pair of pulses spaced 3 microseconds apart. A Mode 2 interrogation is a pair of pulses
spaced 5 microseconds apart. Mode 3/A interrogation pulses are spaced 8 microseconds apart. Mode C pulses
are spaced 21 microseconds apart. Test is a pair of pulses spaced 6.5 microseconds apart.
If the correct Mode interrogations are received, the system will respond with a selected coded reply. All modes
reply codes are selected on the CNI-MU. In Mode C and Mode S, a generated code reply pulse containing
pressure altitude information is also transmitted.
Mode 4 Interrogation. Mode 4 interrogation is characterized by four pulses, each 0.5 microseconds wide, oc-
curing in multiples of 2.0 microsecond intervals from the leading edge of the first pulse. Following these four
pulses is an interrogation code pulse train of up to 32 more pulses.
Mode S Interrogation. Mode S interrogation is characterized by a two-pulse preamble, where each pulse is
0.8 microseconds wide spaced at a 2 microsecond interval. Following the preamble is either 56 or 112 bits of
differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) data. When this preamble is decoded by the transponder, it suppresses
decoding of Mode 1, 2, 3/A, and C for 35 microseconds.
21-12. Operation in these modes permit functional communication with ground stations and other aircraft
(Figure 20-2). All identification operations are performed via the IFF pages on each CNI-MU (ICDU). The MC
controls the IFF transponder, so IFF commands from the CNI-MU are relayed via the CNI-SP to the MC, which
directs the operation and relay IFF information back to the CNI-MU and CNRP for display. Pressing the IFF key
accesses the IFF pages, where detailed control of the IFF is available. With power ON, the IFF system is oper-
ating in normal operating conditions. Received signals consisting of pairs of pulses spaced to form a code, are
sent from the two system antennas to the transponder. If the signal is valid, the transponder generates a coded
reply which is transmitted back through the same circuit. With EMER selected, the transponder generates an
emergency code in Modes 1 and 2 which shows up as a special reply on the surface radar presentation, facil-
itating immediate identification of the transmitting airplane. The Mode 3/A emergency code will be transmitted
automatically in the emergency mode (Figure 21-3).
IDENT Provisions. The system has provisions whereby the position of the airplane being interrogated can be
obtained. This feature is used when a group of airplanes are being interrogated in the same area, and it is
desired to single out one particular airplane within the group.
IDENT Reply. The IDENT reply can be made in Mode 1, 2, or 3/A and appears as two short dashes on the
interrogating radar. For Mode 1, the reply consists of two complete Mode 1 pulse trains with a 4.35 microseconds
delay between trains. For Modes 2 and 3/A, the reply consists of a pulse train selected code followed by a single
pulse spaced 4.35 microseconds after the last framing pulse of the regular code pulse train. When IDENT
Mode of operation is selected on the CNI-MU , the system automatically transmits the reply for approximately
18 seconds.
Emergency Reply Provisions. When EMER is selected on the CNI-MU , an emergency reply is available. Emer-
gency operation results in four short dashes on the interrogating radar indicator to indicate an airplane in distress,
and singles out the airplane in emergency condition within the group of airplanes. The emergency reply consists
of a pulse train of the selected code followed by three sets of framing pulses for Modes 1 or 2, and a pulse train
of code 7700, followed by three sets of framing pulses for Mode 3/A.
Mode 4 Operation. The Mode 4 interrogation signal consists of four synchronized pulses, followed by a va-
cant pulse position, followed by as many as 32 pulses. The spacing of the Mode 4 interrogation pulses is 2
microseconds from the leading edge of any pulse to the leading edge of the subsequent pulse. The Mode 4
interrogation signal is decoded by the transponder and applied to a Mode 4 recognition circuit. When Mode 4
coincidence exists, the Mode 4 recognition circuit generates a signal which in turn is used to generate a Mode
4 reply. M4 REPLY appears on the CNI-MU IFF page in inverse video for 5 seconds when a valid Mode 4 reply
is given. M4 CAUTION appears in reverse video on CNI-MU IFF page when there is a failure to reply to a Mode
4 interrogation. Mode 4 codes can be loaded into the IFF on the front panel of the transponder.
Mode 4 Zeroize. The Mode 4 codes held in the IFF transponder can be zeroized, on demand by the operator,
by pushing the ZEROIZE line select key on the CNI-MU IFF page 1. The zeroize function is routed through
the BAU Type II No 2. The codes will zeroize automatically if all of the following conditions have been met; IFF
system is powered, weight off wheels is achieved, weight on wheels has been achieved, and power is removed
from the system. The zeroize can be prevented if the REFUEL HOLD line select key on the CNI-MU IFF page is
pressed prior to power removal. The Mode 4 codes can be zeroized manually by pressing the ZEROIZE switch
on the front of the transponder, or automatically if the battery is removed from the transponder.

the IFF system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is
applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the
power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
21-14. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message IFF 1/2 FAIL.
21-15. POWER DISTRIBUTION. Power to the IFF system is controlled by the CNI/MU, controlling the BAU
Type II No. 1 output to the coil of the IFF power relay. When the relay is energized, 28 V dc from the IFF circuit
breaker powers the transponder, the DCU, and the coil of the landing gear relay. The IFF circuit breaker is
powered by the following bus:

SECTION XXII
22-1. DESCRIPTION
22-2. GENERAL
22-3. The Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) system is a low frequency radio navigation aid that functions as
an automatic direction finder, or as a standard low and medium frequency radio receiver. As a direction finder,
the ADF provides a continuous display on the Primary Flight Display (PFD), of the relative bearing of a received
Radio Frequency (RF) signal. It also provides audio for station identification. As a standard radio receiver,
the ADF provides audio for monitoring the stations transmitting RF signals using Amplitude Modulation (AM) or
Continuous Wave (CW). The ADF is also capable of providing aural outputs of received signals. Control of the
ADF system is through the Communication/Navigation/ Identification Management System (CNI-MS) and the
Single Avionics Management Unit (SAMU).
22-5. The ADF system consists of one receiver. and one antenna (Figure 22-1).
22-6. RECEIVER. The receiver has an operating range of 100 to 2199.5 KHz with tuning increments of 0.5
KHz. The receiver outputs are sent to the Mission Computer (MC) for display on the PFD Horizontal Situation
Indicator (HSI) and to the Intercommunication System (ICS) Central Switching Unit (CSU) for aural presentation,
if selected. The inputs to and outputs from the receiver are via MIL-STD-1553B (1553B) comm/nav data bus.
The receiver contains five subassemblies as follows: interconnect assembly, tuner circuit card, synthesizer/in-
strumentation circuit card, instrument driver/power supply circuit card, and 1553B remote terminal circuit card.
– Interconnect Assembly. This assembly electrically connects the four other cards and the main
connector on the receiver.
– Tuner Circuit Card. The tuner circuit card is a dual conversion receiver operating in the frequency
range of 100 to 2199.5 KHz. The tuner circuit card contains the frequency translation, coherent
detector, lock detector, and audio output circuits.
– Synthesizer/Instrumentation Circuit Card. This card contains the frequency synthesizer for devel-
oping injection signals for the RF tuner card, serial data input circuits that convert serial control
data to parallel data, and instrumentation circuits that detect the relative amplitude of the signals
from the two loop antennas.
– Instrument Driver/Power Supply Circuit Card. This circuit card provides all the necessary voltages
required for operation of the receiver and the B+ and B− voltages for the antenna.
– Remote Terminal Circuit Card. The 1553B remote terminal circuit card provides for remote control
of the receiver via a MIL-STD-1553 data bus. The received serial control data from bus A or
bus B is decoded from Manchester biphase code to transistor-transistor-logic (TTL) for use by
the synthesizer/instrument circuit card. ADF bearing and frequency/mode control monitor data is
encoded from TTL serial data to Manchester biphase code for transmission via the 1553B data
bus back to the CNI-SP and MC.
ANTENNA. The antenna is located on the bottom of the aircraft on the centerline. The antenna contains one
sense antenna and two loop antennas. The loop antennas are physically mounted 90 degrees apart. One
22-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
antenna is oriented to receive maximum signal when the aircraft is headed directly toward (zero degrees) or
away (180 degrees) from the ground transmitter and minimum signal strength when heading 90 degrees and
270 degrees relative to ground transmitter. The signal strength is proportional to the cosine function of the rela-
tive angle between aircraft heading (longitudinal axis) and ground transmitter bearing. The other loop antenna
signal strength is maximum at 90 degrees and 270 degrees and minimum at 0 degrees and 180 degrees (sine
function). To determine the correct bearing angle, the sine and cosine signals must be combined with a signal
that is not affected by relative bearing. This signal is obtained from the sense antenna. The sense antenna is
omnidirectional. The ADF RF field pattern in the vicinity of the aircraft is distorted by the outline of the aircraft
and the location of the antenna. This distortion results in radio bearing error if it is not corrected (quadrantal
error correction). The method of providing quadrantal error correction designed for the system is to control the
relative amplitudes of the sine modulate and cosine modulate signal supplied to the ADF antenna by the ADF
receiver. The ADF quadrantal error correction is achieved by aircraft connector strapping.
22-8. GENERAL. The ADF system has two functional modes of operation; antenna (ANT) mode and ADF
mode. In ANT mode, the system functions as an aural receiver, providing only an aural output of the received
signal. In ADF mode, the system functions as an automatic direction finder that provides relative bearing to the
station, and an aural output of the received signal. A TONE submode of operation may be selected in either
ANT or ADF mode of operation. In TONE submode, the receiver provides a 1,000 Hz aural output tone when a
signal is received, to identify keyed CW signals.
22-9. OPERATION. The CNI/MU or the CNRP can be used to control the ADF radio. Audio signals or radio
stations can be monitored through the ICS MON panel by pulling the ADF monitor switch.
22-10. On the CNI/MU panel, the NAV TUNE INDEX page allows access to the navigation radios. Pressing
the ADF line select key opens the NAV TUNE ADF page showing the current frequency tuned. Data base
frequencies can be selected using the scratchpad.
22-11. The CNRP panel provides an alternate way to tune the ADF radio by pressing the NAV mode select
key and entering a new frequency.
22-12. The SAMU enables pilots to manipulate and interface the ADF information on the CMDU PFD and
other displays.
22-13. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built In Test (BIT) performed by
the ADF system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the power is
applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the ACAWS.
The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed the
power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
22-14. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message ADF FAIL.
22-15. POWER DISTRIBUTION. Power to the ADFsystem is controlled by the CNI/MU, controlling the BAU
Type II No. 1 output to the coil of the ADF power relay. When the relay is energized, 28 V dc from the ADF(5RP)
circuit breaker powers the ADF receiver. The ADF circuit breaker is powered by the following bus.

23-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
– Pressurization.
– Propeller control.
– Radar control.
23-6. The CNI-MS system consists of two System Processors (SP) and two Management Units (MU) (Figure
23-1).
23-7. System Processor. The CNI-SP uses a dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B data bus as the primary in-
terface for communications with the mission computers and systems on the Comm/Nav 1553B data bus. The
CNI-SP acts as bus controller for the left and right side Comm/Nav 1553B data buses. SP No. 1 (pilot) is initial-
ized as the bus controller on the left 1553B data bus and SP No. 2 (copilot) is initialized as the bus controller on
the right 1553B data bus. In the event of an SP failure, the remaining operational SP will assume the duties as
bus controller for the affected side. The CNI-SP will operate in one of three modes: dual, independent, or single.
23-8. CNI Management Unit. Two CNI-MU provide the crew interface to the CNI-MS via a keyboard, mode
select keys, line select keys, and a thin film electro-luminance (TFEL) flat panel display. The CNI-MU are remote
terminals on the left and right Comm/Nav 1553B data buses. They perform no calculations or operations on
their own; they merely display what they are commanded to display, and pass along key - press information.
The CNI-MU is sunlight readable and NVIS compatible, and can be operated by the crew with gloved hands.
The CNI-MU can display up to 14 lines of data, each with up to 24 characters per line.
23-10. GENERAL. The primary control function of the CNI-MS can be broken into three categories; commu-
nication radio management, navigation radio management, and flight management (Figure 23-2).
23-11. Communication Radio Management. The communication radios can be selected and tuned via the
CNI-MS.
The COMM TUNE INDEX and the COMM TUNE pages on the CNI-MU (ICDU) provide the control panel func-
tions for the following radios:
– V/UHF 1 and 2.
– HF 1 and 2.
23-12. Navigation Radio Management. The navigation radios can be selected and tuned via the CNI-MS.
The NAV TUNE INDEX and the NAV TUNE pages on the CNI-MU (ICDU) provide the control panel functions
for the following navigation radios:
– TACAN 1 and 2.
– VOR/ILS.
– V/UHF Direction Finder.
– ADF.
Navigation System Management. The CNI-MS is also responsible for managing those navigation systems that
are not radio systems. Control of the Integrated Navigation (INAV) system, Inertial Navigation System (INS),
global positioning system (GPS), and the Distributed Air Data System (DADS) is performed via the CNI-MU.
23-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
23-13. Navigation Database and Custom Database Management. The navigation data base management
function includes a world wide navigation data base. The world wide data contains information such as airports,
runways, navigation aids, and airport reference points.
Custom Data. The custom data area contains the following four data types:
– Custom Waypoints - Custom waypoints may be defined by one of three methods: position, bearing
and range from a referenced waypoint, or by the intersection of bearings from two referenced
waypoints.
– Flight Plans - Flight plans specify an origin, destination, and route of flight.
– NAVAID Inhibit - Inhibited navaids are navaids that are not to be used by the SP for navigation
purposes.
– Ballistic Data - Contains parachute ballistic data used for computed aerial release points (CARP).
Performance. The performance function estimates the aircraft vertical profile and fuel consumption using a
combination of stored flight manual data and pilot entered data. This function includes the computation of air-
craft fuel consumption, gross weight, time and distance projections. Flight path predictions are computed by
the CNI-SP from the origin to the destination. As the flight progresses, the flight path predictions are updated
periodically to account for winds, route modifications, fuel updates, and actual time of arrival at the waypoints.
Guidance. The guidance function provides fully automatic guidance commands for the lateral axis. These
modes may be used separately or together to provide guidance commands to the autopilot and/or flight director.
Lateral guidance includes route leg sequencing and leg updating. Guidance functions compare aircraft present
position with the desired flight path and generates steering commands for the autopilot/flight director.
23-14. Functional Description. Each CNI-MU is used to provide operator inputs and to display information
pertaining to the various functions performed in the SP. Communication, navigation, and flight management
parameters are the primary display data. The two CNI-MU are redundant to each other, and each CNI-MU
can be serviced by either SP. The pilot and copilot may make selections from any CNI-MU at any time, call up
different pages on their CNI-MU without affecting what appears on the other, and override the default operation.
Synchronization of data between CNI-MU is handled by the SP. The systems are interconnected in such a way
as to allow access and control of nearly all flight management parameters, as long as one SP and one CNI-MU
are available.
CNI-MU Operation. On power up, the POWER UP page is displayed on the CNI-MU. The top left corner cell of
each page display is reserved for an indicator of which SP is supplying the CNI-MU display data. A 1 indicates
SP No. 1 and a 2 indicates SP No. 2. The indicator is displayed in small font inverse video if the source SP is
the Nav Master and normal video if it is the Nav Slave. If the SP does not contain a navigation data base, the
message NO NAV DB is displayed in the scratchpad.
A. Line Select Keys. Line select keys provide the means for data transfer to and from the scratchpad,
between separate display pages, and to select and initiate various functions. The line select keys
are arranged six on each side of the CNI-MU display and are numbered from one to six. Line
select keys on the left side of the display are defined as 1L through 6L and line select keys on
the right side of the display are defined as 1R through 6R. The line select keys are used to select
various functions associated with that line select key. Functions include but are not limited to:
1. Data Entry - Data from the scratchpad can be placed into the data field associated with a
line select key. This is accomplished by pressing the line select key adjacent to the line in
which the data is to be inserted. Lines that accept data entry are usually marked with solicit
dashes or box prompts, showing that data entry is possible and indicating input format.
2. Data Downselect - A data field associated with a line select key will be transferred to the
scratchpad area, if the scratchpad area is empty, by pressing the line select key.
3. Page Branching - Selection of a line select key associated with a data field in a page name
form normally will result in a branch to a sub menu page, or return to a main menu page.
4. Function Execution - If a data field associated with a line select key contains a function name,
its availability will be indicated by it’s font. Large font indicates the function is available, and
small font indicates the function is not available. Selection when the function is available will
result in that function being performed.
23-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
5. Mode Switching - A control mode switch can be associated with a line select key. A switch
may have a number of possible combinations. Selection increments the switch position in a
circular fashion with the selection moving from left to right. Typically the active switch mode
is displayed in large font, inverse video, while the inactive modes are displayed in small font.
6. Momentary switch - A line select key may serve to control a mode by providing a momentary
switch. Pressing the line select key and holding it down causes a change in states. When
the line select key is released, the switch returns to it’s original state.
B. Scratchpad. The bottom line of the display is designated as the scratchpad. The scratchpad is
used for data entry, messages, the delete function, and data transfer. Display of caution messages
is given first priority, followed by advisory messages, delete function, and then entries from the
alphanumeric keyboard or line select keys. Alphanumeric keys are used to enter characters into
the scratchpad. Entries appear in the scratchpad in a large font and are left justified. Alphanumeric
keys do not make entries to other lines of the display. Messages in the scratchpad area appear
in a large, inverse font, and are right justified. Messages and an operator input may appear in
the scratchpad area simultaneously. However, if the message is long enough it may overwrite the
operator input. All numeric entries are assumed to be positive numbers. If a negative number is
desired, the minus (−) key must be depressed before entering the number.
CNI-MU Paging. The CNI-MS allows the operator to control numerous individual systems via a series of CNI-MU
pages. The pages are accessed through a system of indexes that are organized according to the basic category
of the system. The V/UHF and HF radios are accessed via the COMM TUNE INDEX. The ADF, VOR, INS, GPS
and other navigational systems are accessed via the NAV TUNE INDEX. The remaining systems under CNI-MU
control are accessed in a similar fashion via the respective index grouping. The following is a list of CNI-MU
indexes.
23-15. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message.
23-16. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The CNI—MS circuit breakers are powered by the following buses.

DATA SYSTEM
24-1. DESCRIPTION
24-2. GENERAL
24-3. Three Bus Adapter Unit (BAU) types function as Remote Terminals (RT), controlled by the MIL-STD-
1553B data bus Bus Controller (BC). The BAU provide console lighting control, signal routing, the monitoring of
various non-MIL-STD-1553B devices such as relays, valves, and indicators, and communications with ARINC-
429 components of the aircraft. The BAU monitor the control panel switch positions and test points (such as
contacts and sensors), and report to the mission computer via the MIL-STD-1553B buses. The BAU also act
as a data acquisition interface to provide BIT failure data to the Fault Detection System (FDS).
24-5. BUS ADAPTER UNIT COMPONENTS. The DATA System consists of one Type I BAU, two Type II
BAU, and two Type III BAU (Figure 24-1).
24-6. TYPE I BUS ADAPTER UNIT. The Type I BAU (BAU I) provides the drive current for console panel
edge lighting and annunciator lamps, and monitors discrete inputs representing the open or ground state of
non-MIL-STD-1553B control panel switches. The BAU I is an RT controlled by commands received from the
mission computer or BIU.
24-7. TYPE II BUS ADAPTER UNIT. The Type II BAU (BAU II) are controlled by commands received from
the BC of the MIL-STD-1553B bus to which it is connected. BAU II No. 1 is connected to the left avionics bus
and BAU II No. 2 is connected to the right avionics bus.
24-8. TYPE III BUS ADAPTER UNIT. The Type III BAU (BAU III) are controlled by commands received from
the BC of the MIL-STD-1553B bus to which it is connected. BAU III No. 1 is connected to the left avionics bus
and BAU III No. 2 is connected to the right avionics bus.
24-10. GENERAL. The BAU are the 1553 data bus interface between the Mission Computers and the aircraft
equipment and control panels ().
24-11. The BAU I provides non-1553B control panels with power for edge lighting and to illuminate annunci-
ator lamps. The BAU I is controlled by the Mission Computer because it does not have internal firmware.
24-12. The BAU II receives inputs from flight station control panels representing switch position information,
and provides power for illuminating and dimming lamps on flight station control panels. The BAU II converts non-
1553B data bus discretes, and analog and synchro transmitter signals into digital equivalents for transmission
on the 1553B data buses. Analog outputs primarily drive the external aircraft lights used for formation flying
and navigation.The BAU II controls airplane external lighting and various airplane functions that are operated by
24-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
switch positions. The discrete outputs drive relays to control functions such as door and ramp unlocks, antenna
selections, landing gear horn, and various shutoff valves.
24-13. The BAU III serves as an interface between the MIL-STD-1553B based avionics architecture and the
various ARINC-429 based controllers within the aircraft. Each BAU III has programmable ARINC-429 trans-
ceiver memory mapped to a specific MIL-STD-1553B subaddress accessible to the Mission Computer. The
Mission Computer transmits a series of initialization messages to the BAU III which instruct it how to configure
each ARINC-429 port. All data conversions between the 20-bit MIL-STD-1553B and 32-bit ARINC protocols
are performed within the BAU III.
24-14. DATA BUSES. The MIL-STD-1553B data bus is a bi-directional communication path using the MIL-
STD-1553B serial data transmission protocol. The MIL-STD-1553B bus has two channels, designated channel
A and channel B. All units connected to the MIL-STD-1553B buses are connected to both channels and either
channel may be used for communications. This redundant configuration provides a backup bus so there is no
degradation in system performance should a single channel fail. Each major equipment group has left and
right bus pairs with the left bus controlled by mission computer No. 1, and the right bus controlled by mission
computer No. 2. Data transfer over the MIL-STD-1553B buses is managed by one of the units on the bus that
is designated as the BC.
The BC determines which channel of a bus to use for communications. The avionic systems architecture is di-
vided into left and right sections, with MIL-STD-1553B buses serving each section. Generally, the left section of
each bus serves equipment located on the left (pilot) side of the aircraft, and the right section serves equipment
located on the right (copilot) side of the aircraft.
The BC issues commands that control the operations of equipment attached to the MIL-STD-1553B bus. The
BC also provides data processing and data storage for the systems on the bus. The mission computers are the
primary BC for the display, panel, and avionics MIL-STD-1553B buses. Mission computer No. 1 is the BC for
the left avionics, panel and display buses. Mission computer No. 2 is the BC for the right avionics, panel, and
display buses. In the event either mission computer fails, the other mission computer automatically reconfigures
as the BC and takes control of both left and right buses. This ensures no degradation of data processing when a
mission computer fails. When both mission computers fail, the BIUs assume joint control of the MIL-STD-1553B
buses. BIU No.1 becomes the BC for the left buses, and BIU No. 2 becomes the BC for the right buses.
The IPC MIL-STD-1553B bus is used to transfer data between the four primary components of the Data System;
the two MC, and the two BIU. A Remote Terminal (RT) provides data acquisition for the BC, and some data
storage for the systems on the bus Under normal circumstances, mission computer No. 1 is the BC for the IPC
bus, mission computer No. 2 is the BBC, and the BIUs are Remote Terminals (RT). If MC No. 1 fails, MC No. 2
reconfigures to become the BC on the IPC bus. If both MC fail, BIU No.1 assumes the IPC bus BC functions.
The BCs for the left and right comm/nav MIL-STD-1553B buses are the CNI-SPs. The mission computers are
RT on the comm/nav buses. The BIUs do not communicate with the comm/nav buses.
Both mission computers function only as an RT on the comm/nav bus. As an RT, the mission computer performs
some data processing and data storage as directed by the BC, and provides the interface between the comm/nav
bus and systems on the other MIL-STD-1553B buses.
24-15. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The mission computers generate an ACAWS message
and direct the ICS-CSU to output an advisory audio tone to the flight station headsets and cockpit loudspeakers
indicating an advisory message. An ACAWS text message is also generated and displayed on the ACAWS
display.
24-16. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message BAU FAIL.
24-17. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The circuit breakers are powered by the following buses: Figure 24-2

SECTION XXV
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
25-1. DESCRIPTION
25-2. GENERAL
25-3. The Mission Computers (MC) manage overall control of the aircraft systems and displays, stores op-
erational and maintenance data, and are the primary information integration equipment for the various avionics
systems. Information is collected from the aircraft systems and equipment on the 1553B data buses. The data
are processed and redistributed via the same data buses. Video data to be displayed is communicated over
the Transparent Asynchronous Transmit/Receive Interface (TAXI) bus from the Low Power Color Radar to the
MC. The MC routes the video and display commands, also by TAXI bus, to the CMDU. The appropriate display
symbology and drive signals are generated by each individual display unit in response to the commands and
data from the MC.
25-5. SYSTEM INTEGRATION COMPONENTS. The MC System consists of two MC and two Bus Interface
Units (Figure 25-1).
25-6. MISSION COMPUTER. The MC manage the central processing for the left (pilot or No.1) side and the
right (copilot or No. 2) side of the aircraft. The MC functions as the Bus Controller (BC) for the MIL-STD-1553B
data buses by continually directing command and response activity and by frequent verification of communi-
cation paths and performance of the equipment on each data bus. The MC contains and runs the Operational
Flight Program (OFP), and while on the ground, contains and runs the Operational Maintenance Program (OMP)
if installed by maintenance. The OMP software is loaded into the MC whenever maintenance is to be performed
on the aircraft. The OMP contains the fault isolation procedures for controlling the MC and other equipment
during maintenance activities. The OMP is uploaded to the MC from a ruggedized and deployable Portable
Maintenance Aid (MIMS). The OMP operates along with resident software that performs the following functions:
– Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) - Monitors aircraft systems for faults, advise the crew when
faults occur, and records data related to the faults.
– Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) - Provides aural and visual warnings in the event of
unsafe flight conditions or impending Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT).
– Altitude Alerting - Provides alerts to inform the crew when the aircraft is approaching or deviating
from a preselected altitude.
25-7. BUS INTERFACE UNIT. During normal operation, the two bus interface units are software-configured
as data acquisition units for the left and right 1553B data buses and for selected non-1553B systems. The BIU
also functions as a remote terminal on the IPC 1553B data bus. The IPC bus provides the interface between
the mission computers, via the BIU, with the panel, display, and avionics 1553B data buses, and several aircraft
systems that do use the 1553B data bus. Each BIU also functions as the backup bus controller (BBC) for the
1553B data bus to which it is connected. If both mission computers fail, the BIU resident software will reconfigure
the BIU to take control of the 1553B data buses and manage all flight-critical tasks.
25-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
25-9. GENERAL. When power is applied to the MC, the Boot Utility Routines (BUR) that are resident in the
MC Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) take control of the MC and load the operating program into the random access
memory of both central processors. After the operating program is loaded, the MC runs a self test. After the
internal BIT is complete without faults, the software configures MC No. 1 as the BC for the left panel, display,
and avionics 1553B data buses and MC No. 2 as the BC for the right panel, display, and avionics 1553B data
buses. BIU No. 1 is associated with MC No. 1 and the left hand data buses, and BIU No. 2 is associated with
MC No. 2 and the right hand data buses. After MC configuration is complete, the BIT status of all electronic Line
Replaceable Units (LRU) connected to the 1553B data buses is determined. The BIT status of each non-1553B
LRU monitored by the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) is also determined. If all monitored systems and
subsystems indicate proper BIT responses, a message stating all monitored systems functional is displayed on
a dedicated maintenance page on the CMDU. In the event a BIT fault is reported by one or more LRU, the IDS
diagnostics identify the faulty LRU and record a fault code unique to the failure in NVM, on the Dual Slotted Data
Transfer System (DSDTS), and a message is displayed on the CMDU maintenance page. In cases where the
LRU is connected to a dedicated interface (e.g., BIU/BAU), the LRU has the ability to determine if the interface or
the LRU circuitry is at fault. The BIT results and IDS diagnostic data recorded on one of the Removable Memory
Modules (RMM) are downloaded to the MIMS and transferred to a Ground Based Data System (GBDS) for
analysis. In the event of a failure (hardware or software) within either MC, the remaining MC will manage the
total central processing function without loss of function.(Figure 25-2).
25-10. MISSION COMPUTER OPERATING MODES. While the aircraft is operating, information concerning
self test, internal operation, and external communications is continually examined. The MC operating mode is
configured by the operating system software according to the BIT status of the MC. If a failure is detected in
one MC and subsequent internal verification criteria are satisfied for a fatal error, data bus management will
undergo controlled reconfiguration from normal mode to either backup or get home mode. The reconfigured
mode depends upon the status of the other MC.
25-11. NORMAL MODE. The normal mode configuration is MC No. 1 and BIU No. 1 controlling the left data
buses and MC No. 2 and BIU No. 2 controlling the right data buses. During normal mode operation, there is a
continuous self test and cross verification in each MC and BIU. If a failure is detected, data bus management is
reconfigured to one of the failure modes. The extent of failure is the basis for determining the operating mode
in which to reconfigure the MC.
25-12. BACKUP MODE. If either MC has a fatal failure or loss of communications on both channels of at
least one data bus, the MC may regress to a quiescent state or be forced to the quiescent state if the other
MC and BIU agree it is malfunctioning. The failing MC will continue digital video operation at its last setting
but communication with the data buses and all other outputs are inhibited. The remaining MC will reconfigure
and assume bus control of the data buses and continue operation with no functional degradation in systems
operations.
25-13. GET HOME MODE. If further failures occur in the remaining MC and communications is lost on indi-
vidual data buses, the remaining MC will continue to operate in a degraded state without the information on the
lost data buses rather than be configured to operate in a quiescent state. If there is a fatal malfunction in the
remaining MC or communications is lost on both the left and right side of the panel, display, or avionics data
buses, this MC will then revert to the quiescent state. The bus interface units will sense no activity on the data
buses and will assume joint control of the data buses. Under BIU control, the aircraft is in the get home mode.
In this mode, only flight critical functions are maintained. Any loss of BIU functionality will increase flight crew
dependence on the standby instrumentation.
25-14. MISSION COMPUTER SOFTWARE. The software required to control the data processing tasks of the
MC is resident in NVM of the control and processing servers. Some resident software programs perform func-
tions normally requiring one or more independent systems. The resident program defined as a system is GCAS.
The MC resident software programs are discussed in the following paragraphs. Other software programs, data
files, and look-up tables containing mission specific information are loaded into the MC from the DSDTS.
25-15. INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SUBSYSTEM. The Integrated Diagnostic Subsystem (IDS) is comprised
of a section of the MC memory and uses software diagnostic routines that are resident in NVM. The IDS diag-
nostics are active during flight and maintenance procedures. The BIT status of individual aircraft systems is
monitored for faults at least once per second.
25-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
25-16. FAULT PROCESSING. The IDS diagnostic software assesses the BIT status of various electronic LRU
and aircraft subsystems and processes any fault data received. In the event a fault is detected, an advisory,
caution, and warning system (ACAWS) message is automatically displayed in plain text on a dedicated mainte-
nance page on a CMDU and the appropriate light on the REF/ MODE Select Panel is illuminated.
25-17. TREND AND EVENT DATA POINTS. When a condition is detected that identifies a fault or an im-
pending problem, the information necessary to fully describe the aircraft behavior is collected by the IDS. This
information, known as trend and event data points, is synchronized to the specific time of the flight and a fault
code unique to that situation is generated. The fault code, trend and event data, and the date and time are
recorded on the RMM. Trend and event data points are downloaded to the RMM for analysis by a GBDS. The
GBDS analysis categorizes the fault with the LRU to be replaced and identifies the individual SRU within the
unit that caused the fault. Trend and event data points include the following:
– Time
– Airspeed
– Altitude
– Weight On Wheels
– Engine RPM/Horsepower
– Pressurization
25-18. GROUND COLLISION AND AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. The GCAS provides aural and visual annuncia-
tions in the event of unsafe flight conditions or impending CFIT. The aural annunciation data includes the reason
for the annunciation and the appropriate action to resolve it. The visual data is displayed simultaneously with
the accompanying aural annunciations. The visual and aural warnings are inhibited when the aircraft is 30 feet
above ground level to eliminate the possibility of nuisance warnings. During flight, the GCAS operates in either
normal or tactical mode. In normal mode the GCAS annunciations are derived from normal mission parameters
and thresholds. In the tactical mode, the GCAS warning annunciations are based on shorter pilot response
times during low-level missions such as terrain following and assault approaches.
25-19. ALTITUDE ALERT. The altitude alerting function provides alerts that the aircraft is approaching or de-
viating from an altitude set on the REF/MODE select panel. Aircraft altitude inputs come from the distributed
air data system. At 1,000 feet prior to the selected altitude, the MC activates a voice message of 1000 feet to
go. This message is sent to the flight crew headsets and alerts the crew to the approaching altitude. Once the
selected altitude is reached, a deviation of 200 feet causes the MC to activate the voice message CHECK ALTI-
TUDE, and display a flashing ALTITUDE visual alert on the PFD. When deviation is 300 feet from the selected
altitude, the MC activates a louder altitude voice message and the ALTITUDE visual alert on the PFD flashes
continually. The audio and visual alerts will continue until the aircraft returns to within 200 feet of, or deviates
more than 1,000 feet from, the selected altitude.
25-20. OPERATIONAL FLIGHT PROGRAM. The OFP is automatically loaded when the MC is powered up
and MC BIT is successfully completed. The OFP controls MC functions until the end of the mission. The OFP
controls the mission computer and other aircraft systems using resident software routines and Mission Data
Files (MDF) peculiar to the individual systems.
25-21. OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. During aircraft maintenance, the MC functions are con-
trolled by the OMP. The OMP is not resident in the MC. It is uploaded from the MIMS along with maintenance
data specific to the fault(s) to be repaired. The maintenance data is the result of the GBDS analysis of the trend
and event data points and fault codes recorded in flight. The OMP is designed for fault isolation to the LRU.
25-22. BUS INTERFACE UNIT OPERATING MODES. The BIU operating mode is controlled by the current
operating mode of the MC. The operating modes are described in the following paragraphs.
25-23. NORMAL MODE. The BIU functions as an interface that performs data acquisition for the MC.
25-24. BACKUP MODE. Backup mode occurs if either MC has a fatal failure or loss of communications on
both a and b channels of at least one data bus. The remaining MC will be reconfigured by its software and
25-3
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
assume control of the data buses and continue operation with no degradation in systems operations. The BIU
continues to operate as in the normal mode.
25-25. GET HOME MODE. Get home mode occurs if there is a fatal malfunction in the remaining MC, or
communications is lost on both the left and right side of the same data bus. When this occurs, the BIU will
sense no activity on the data buses and internal software will reconfigure the BIU as a BC. Each BIU assumes
control of its associated data buses and the aircraft is in get home mode. In get home mode, only flight critical
functions are maintained. Any loss of BIU functionality will increase flight crew dependence on the standby
instrumentation.
25-26. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. Equipment failures detected by BIT are flagged to the
mission computers via the 1553B Comm/Nav Bus and the CNI-SP. The mission computers generate an ACAWS
message and direct the ICS-CSU to output an advisory audio tone to the flight station headsets and cockpit
loudspeakers indicating an advisory message. An ACAWS text message is also generated and displayed on
the ACAWS display.
25-27. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS message
MC 1/2 FAIL.

DISPLAY SYSTEM
26-1. DESCRIPTION
26-2. GENERAL
26-3. The Display System provides the pilot and copilot with a relatively simple way to access a large amount
of information. The system consists of five identical Color Multi-Purpose Display Units (CMDU), located in the
instrument panel. Two are located in front of the pilot, two are located in front of the copilot and one is located
in the center panel. The data formats to be displayed are controlled via two Single Avionics Management Units
(SAMU). The display information is received by the CMDU from the Mission Computers via the left and right dis-
play data buses (1553B data bus), and Transparent Asynchronous Transmit/Receive Interface (TAXI) bus. The
display format of all five units can be controlled from both SAMU independently or simultaneously. This feature
allows either pilot to control the display format of all five units and display various combinations of information.
The information displayed by the CMDU includes, but is not limited to; Primary Flight Display (PFD), engine
status, system status, navigation, and the Advisory Caution and Warning System (ACAWS) information. The
Communications/Navigation Radio Panel (CNRP) provides the flight crew a readily accessible means of tuning
the communication and navigation radios and the IFF Transponder.
26-5. DISPLAY SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The Display System consists of five CMDU, one CNRP, and two
SAMU (Figure 26-1).
26-6. COLOR MULTI-PURPOSE DISPLAY UNIT. The CMDU are connected to the Mission Computer and
receive display and operating instructions via the left and right display 1553B data buses. The pilot CMDU (No.
1, No. 2, and No. 3) are connected to the left display data bus. The copilot CMDU (No. 4 and No. 5) are
connected to the right display bus. CMDU No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 receive TAXI video display data from Mission
Computer No. 1 and CMDU No. 4, and No. 5 receive their TAXI video display data from Mission Computer No.
2.
26-7. SINGLE AVIONICS MANAGEMENT UNIT. The SAMU allows the pilot and copilot to select a wide
variety of information to be displayed on the CMDU.
26-8. COMMUNICATIONS/NAVIGATION RADIO PANEL. The single CNRP is located in the cockpit center
console, just in front of the throttles, to permit access by both pilots. Using the CNRP to select and tune radios
reserves the CNI-MU for other flight management and CNI functions.
26-10. GENERAL. The CMDU are capable of displaying a wide variety of information that can be categorized
into four main display formats. These formats incorporate most, but not all, of the display features. The four
main display formats are the:
26-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
– Engine display
– System Status display
– NAV/Radar display
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY. The PFD format is normally displayed on CMDU No. 1 and No. 4, but can be dis-
played at any of the five CMDU. The PFD symbols are generated by the CMDU based on information received
from the Mission Computer. Some functions of conventional, analog instruments, have been combined in the
PFD, such as the Flight Path Director Indicator (FPDI) and the attitude indicator. The FPDI is the primary indi-
cator for flight path, airplane pitch, roll, and flight director information. The FPDI is used in the same manner as
a conventional attitude indicator but with the flight path used as the primary reference. The PFD combines the
following flight related instruments into a single integrated display: Attitude Indicator, Altimeter, Vertical Velocity
Indicator, Airspeed Indicator, Horizontal Situation Display, Radar Altimeter, and Flight Path Director.
ENGINE DISPLAY FORMAT. The primary data from the airplane engines is displayed in both digital and analog
dial gauge formats. The digital gauges are used to provide exact values while the dial type gauges are used to
provide trend data and cross engine comparisons. ACAWS messages are displayed on the lower portion of the
engine display. The engine display format is broken into the following categories: Horsepower (Hp), Measured
Gas Temperature, Gas Generator Speed, Power Turbine Speed, Fuel Flow, Gearbox Oil Pressure, Engine Oil
Pressure, Oil Temperature, Oil Quantity, and ACAWS.
NAV/RADAR DISPLAY FORMAT. The navigation and radar display formats appear and are operated identically.
The NAV/Radar display format is available on any of the five CMDU and is based on data received from the
Mission Computers. The NAV format provides a two dimensional view of the horizontal plane and is the primary
indicator of the navigation flight plan. The flight plan is shown as a series of lines connecting the waypoints and
the NAV display information includes desired course, desired heading, and estimated time en route.
SYSTEM STATUS DISPLAY FORMAT. The system status display format is available on any of the five CMDU
and receives its information from the Mission Computer. The format is divided into four main display areas:
electrical, hydraulic pressure, oil cooler flap position, and fuel quantity. A miscellaneous display area is also
provided for additional information (e.g., liquid oxygen quantity).
26-11. SINGLE AVIONICS MANAGEMENT UNIT. The SAMU allows selection of the source of information to
be displayed, and the specific CMDU to be used. The SAMU also controls certain aircraft systems. There are
two SAMU located in the center console, one each for the pilot and copilot. The pilot and copilot SAMU function
independently to allow different operations to be accomplished simultaneously. (for example, one SAMU can be
setting up the pilot’s PFD, while at the same time the other SAMU is setting up the copilot’s PFD.) Each SAMU
contains one display, 8 line select keys, 10 function keys, 1 Up/Down rocker switch and 1 brightness control
rocker switch.
26-12. COMMUNICATIONS/NAVIGATION RADIO PANEL. The communications radios (HF and V/UHF) can
be turned on and channel frequencies manually tuned using the CNRP, or preset channels can be loaded. The
radios can only be turned off using the CNI-MU. If a COMM frequency or a preset channel is inserted into a
radio that is turned off, the radio is automatically turned on and set to the appropriate frequency/channel. Other
limited CNI-MU radio control functions are also duplicated in the CNRP. A radio antenna may be selected with
the Antenna Select Switch found on one of the menu pages in the CNRP. As an alternative to the CNI-MU ,
frequency-tuning commands can be input through the CNRP. These tuning command signals are sent to the
MC on the 1553B Right Panel Bus and are then relayed to the selected radio using the 1553B Right or Left
Comm/Nav Bus. The receiver/transmitter processes these signals to control radio functions and returns fre-
quency confirmation and status information back to the CNRP for display. The status of the radio operation and
settings can be viewed using any of the displays on the CNI-MU , CNRP, Radio Set Control Panel or the SAMU.
26-13. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The CMDU performs Built In Test (BIT) when power is
first applied. BIT also runs continuously during the time the display has power. When a BIT test finds a fault, it
returns a fault code and shuts down the graphic processing function to avoid displaying invalid data. The CMDU
then notifies the Mission Computer of the fault. The Mission Computer analyzes the fault code to determine if
the faulted CMDU can be reconfigured or if the failure warrants a complete shutdown of the CMDU.
26-14. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS message
CMDU 1/2/3/4/5 FAIL, SAMU 1/2 FAIL, or CNRP FAIL.

SECTION XXVII
27-1. DESCRIPTION
27-2. GENERAL
27-3. The Regulated Power Supply (RPS) system provides regulated low voltage to power selected panels
and control selected panel lights. It is divided into a left and right system that supplies the power to control panel
lights on the left and right sides of the aircraft.
27-5. REGULATED POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM COMPONENTS. The RPS system consists of two Panel
Power Distribution Units (PPDU) and four Low Voltage Power Supply (LVPS) units to supply power to operate
selected control panels and power for incandescent lighting on selected control panels (Figure 27-1).
27-6. PANEL POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT. The left PPDU No. 1 is mounted on the left side of the upper
panel inside the avionics bay and the right PPDU No. 2 is mounted on the right side of the upper panel inside
the avionics bay. The PPDU is mounted on a flange which is in turn mounted to the aircraft.
27-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
27-9. LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY. There are four LVPS units installed on the aft panel inside the avion-
ics bay. The LVPS 1L and LVPS 2R are installed adjacent to the left PPDU No. 1, and LVPS 1R and LVPS 2L
are installed adjacent to the right PPDU No. 2. The two LVPS are used as redundant pairs with each PPDU
(Paragraph 27-7 and Paragraph 27-8). See Figure 27-2.
27-11. GENERAL. Each PPDU is the distribution point for two redundant LVPS and includes electromagnetic
interference shielding and diode logic circuitry. The PPDU No. 1 distributes power from LVPS 1L and LVPS 1R
and PPDU No. 2 distributes power from LVPS 2L and LVPS 2R. Each PPDU front panel has 16 circuit breakers
, and eight are not used. The RPS on and off function is controlled by the Mission Computers (MC) through the
Bus Interface Units (BIU). BIU No. 1 controls LVPS 1L and 1R while BIU No. 2 controls LVPS 2L and 2R (Figure
27-3). The MC controls applicable panel edgelight brightness based in inputs from the PILOT LIGHTING panel,
COPILOT LIGHTING panel, and the CARGO LIGHTING panel.
27-12. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The Bus Adapter Unit Type 1 provides Built In Test (BIT)
interface functions for the RPS: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon
as the power is applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent
to the ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has
completed the power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will
be sent to the ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional
performance.
27-13. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message of RPS (1 or 2) FAIL.
27-14. POWER DISTRIBUTION. The RPS operates on 28 V dc from the Main, Essential, and Emergency
DC buses. The circuit breakers are powered as follows:

28-1. DESCRIPTION
28-2. GENERAL
28-3. The Dual Slotted Data Transfer (DSDT) system interfaces with the Mission Computer (MC) to record
and store maintenance and fault data on removable memory modules and provide Input/Output (I/O) capability
for the Flight Management System (FMS), Ground Interactive Management System (GIMS), and the Mission
Data Cartridge. The Dual Slotted Data Transfer Unit (DSDTU) is located on the copilot side console.
28-5. DUAL SLOTTED DATA TRANSFER UNIT. The DSDTU is a solid state digital recorder and reader with
removable memory modules. The internal Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCM-
CIA) drive is used between the MC and external sources to transfer data using Removable Memory Modules
(RMM).The DSDTU will accept two RMM, those being PCMCIA Type II memory cards. Also inside are control
electronics, a data buffer, 1553 Data Bus interface, and a power supply (Figure 28-1).
28-6. REMOVEABLE MEMORY MODULES. There are two RMM accepted by the DSDTU. The PCMCIA
cards are configured as a Maintenance System Card for downloading performance data or system faults, or a
Mission Planning Card for uploading mission performance and planning data. The card is a non-volatile memory
storage device with 40 megabytes of flash memory, and a header file on each card identifies it as a maintenance
system card or a mission planning card
28-8. GENERAL. The DSDTS holds two RMM, each of which is capable of up to 40 megabytes of data
storage to be used for both pre-recorded and in-flight recorded data. The unit stores the data in individual
memory files in the RMM. During flight and under control of the MC, Information recorded to the maintenance
RMM consists of equipment failures and recoveries, cautions, warnings, and crew responses, engine data, flight
identifiers flight profile perameters, and subsystem test points. After flight, this data is used by the GIMS for
analysis and as a troubleshooting tool. To inhibit recording of sensitive mission data, the CNI-MU ZEROIZE
menu page, then REC INHIBIT can be selected (Figure 28-2).
28-9. Memory Erase. The DSDTS has the capability to perform an erase function on the RMM. The time
for total erasure is approximately four minutes. Once initiated the erase cannot be interrupted. All data on the
RMM will be erased including the formatting.
28-10. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The DSDTS performs a BIT immediately following an ini-
tial power on condition.The system performs an automatic and continuous built in test (BIT) during operation
and also has the capability of performing an externally initiated BIT. The system also has the capability to detect
faults that occur during operation.

SECTION XXIX
29-1. DESCRIPTION
29-2. GENERAL
29-3. The Angle of Attack transducers are part of the Stall Warning System. The Stall Warning System
operates to warn the flight crew that the aircraft is approaching a stall condition.
29-5. ANGLE OF ATTACK TRANSDUCERS. There are two Angle Of Attack (AOA) Transducers installed on
the aircraft as part of the Stall Warning System (SWS). The transducers are fuselage mounted in the slipstream
and angle of attack is measured by a movable vane. The AOA transducers are heated to prevent ice build-up.
29-7. GENERAL. The AOA is sensed by the movable vanes located on either side of the fuselage (Figure
29-1).
29-8. The 26 V ac analog voltage representing the angle is sent to the Bus Interface Units (BIU) No. 1
for the left vane and BIU No. 2 for the right vane (Figure 29-2). Then BIU then converts the synchro data to
digital information and sends it through the Interprocessor Control Bus to the Mission Computers. The Mission
Computers evaluate the vane data for validity, then filters the data and calculates the AOA.
29-9. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. The mission computers monitor the vanes for valid angle
data. An ACAWS text message is generated and displayed on the ACAWS display.
29-10. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates an ACAWS advisory
message AOA 1/2 FAIL.

SECTION XXX
30-1. DESCRIPTION
30-2. GENERAL
30-3. The Digital Map Unit (DMU) stores scanned-in paper maps as digitized data in an External Mass
Memory Unit (EMMU). The DMU provides this data to the Mission Computers (MC) through a digital Transparent
Asynchronous Transmit/Receive Interface (TAXI) video bus. The format, scale, and orientation of this DMU video
output is controlled by the MC through a MIL-STD-1553B data bus. The video commands are then sent to any
of the Color Multifunction Display Units (CMDU) through the display transfer function of the Single Avionics
Management Units (SAMU). The CMDU receives this data, along with other symbolic overlays from the MC,
processes it and displays it to the flight crew. In its basic form, map information from the DMU and the current
flight plan scroll under a symbol depicting the airplane to represent a constantly updated plan view of the airplane
location and routing over the earth.
30-5. The digital mapping system consists of the DMU and the EMMU.Figure 30-1.
Digital Mapping Unit. The DMU processes stored, digitized, scanned-in paper map information. The DMU
is designed with two channels of video output, each channel providing identical information to each MC. This
information is processed and combined with flight plan data by the MC. Each MC then provides a digital map
display to selected CMDU.
External Mass Memory Unit. The EMMU stores digitized, scanned-in paper map information. Data is loaded into
the EMMU by means of a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card. Digital
map information is retreived from the EMMU by the DMU for processing and transfer to the MC.
30-7. GENERAL. The digital map display may be selected for presentation on the selected CMDU through
the display transfer function of the SAMUFigure 30-2. Map information from the DMU and the current flight
plan scroll under a symbol depicting the airplane, representing a constantly updated plan view of the airplane
location and routing over the earth. Overlays of additional information, such as blocks of navigational information
and tactical data may be added. Through controls on the SAMU and the cursor control panel, the flight crew
may manipulate the map display to change the orientation or scale of the map, zoom in or out on the display,
slew around on the display, change overlay color and select locations off the displayed map. Since the DMU
provides the same video display information through two video channels, one to each MC, all digital map display
information in the cockpit will always be the same when presented on multiple CMDU, and changes to the DMU
information are reflected on all digital map displays.
30-8.
A. Moving Map. The moving map is a depiction of an aeronautical chart as sent from the DMU.
Chart scales available are 1:50,000, 1:250,000, 1:500,000, 1:1,000,000, and 1:2,000,000. Map
information is prescaled up by 60% to improve readability. Only a limited amount of map coverage
30-1
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
is available in the DMU. If the map is slewed or the airplane flies outside the covered area for a
chart scale, the uncovered areas map video output will be black. Other symbology will appear as
normal. A display of chart coverage is selectable via the SAMU. It depicts on a very small scale
chart which areas are currently stored in the DMU and, via color coding, shows which scales cover
which areas. Chart scales and orientation can be selected via the cursor control panel and the
SAMU, respectively.
B. Ownship Symbol. The ownship symbol is a miniature graphic of an aircraft that represents the
current communication/navigation/identification management system (CNI-MS) displayed location
of the airplane over the earth. Symbol color is selected via the SAMU. Locations of the ownship
symbol on the display may be:
1. Distance Mark Color. Distance mark color will be as selected via the SAMU. Gray 50%
translucent rectangles underlay the numbers to enhance readability.
2. Distance Mark Location. Distance marks location and labeling always reflect the true dis-
tance (in nautical miles) up, down, left, and right from the ownship symbol. As the display is
zoomed in or out, the distance marks move proportionally to reflect the proper ground dis-
tances. When the airplane symbol changes screen position, through center/offset selection,
display slewing, or flying, the distance marks reflect these changes.
E. Flight Plan. The flight plan displays course centerline and turnpoint information as selected by the
CNI-MS. This is a dynamic overlay, which changes with the active flight plan as a result of flight
crew entries via the CNI-MS
1. Flight Plan Color. Color is selected via the SWaypoint Identifications (ID) and Course. The
waypoint ID and course overlays present identifiers and courses for the current and next
waypoints. The color is selected via the SAMU, and the information zooms and slews with
the flight plan. SAMU and all flight plan symbology will be the same color.
2. Flight Plan Slewing. The flight plan slews left and right, up and down as the map video is
slewed, to stay geographically accurate.
3. Flight Plan Zooming. The flight plan zooms in and out as the map is zoomed. Turnpoints,
drop zones, and other flight plan symbology increase and decrease in size, proportionate to
the level of zoom.
F. Waypoint Identifications (ID) and Course. The waypoint ID and course overlays present identifiers
and courses for the current and next waypoints. The color is selected via the SAMU, and the
information zooms and slews with the flight plan.
30-2
FAM.1C-27J-2-10
G. NAV INFO. Blocks of navigational information appear in the upper left, upper center, and upper
right of the display. Color for all text in the NAV INFO blocks is as selected via the SAMU. Each
NAV INFO block has a rectangular field of 50% translucent gray behind it to enhance readability
of the text, yet allow major features to still be visible. The size of the rectangle varies as the size
of the block of the text varies. For example, with a magnetic heading of 090 degrees, the gray
rectangle only surrounds the 090. With a true track of 090 degrees, the gray rectangle lengthens
to surround the TK 090 T field.
H. Cursor and Cursor Data Block. A cursor, cursor strobe, and an associated cursor data block ap-
pear on the display.
1. Cursor Color. Color for all NAV information is selected via the AMU. The cursor data block
will have a rectangular field of 50% translucent gray behind it to enhance readability of the
text, yet allow major features to still be visible. The size of the rectangle varies as the size of
the block of the text varies.
2. Cursor Slew. There are two slew modes. The map may be slewed using slew switch, or the
cursor may be slewed. The cursor and strobe slew left, right, up and down to stay geograph-
ically accurate as the map video is slewed,. The strobe slews as the ownship symbol flies,
to stay relationally accurate. If the map is slewed such that map video of a ground stabilized
cursor location is no longer displayed, the cursor symbol parks along the edge of the display
with half the symbol showing. Then, it slides along the edge of the display as necessary to
reflect the current cursor location. The cursor and strobe zoom in and out with the map as
the map is zoomed.
I. Scale Block. The scale block displays the scale of the map currently being projected. Text color
is as selected via the SAMU, and text field is underlaid by a rectangular field of 50% translucent
gray, proportional in size to the text. The map scale is selected via the cursor control panel.
J. Zoom Block. The zoom will appear when the zoom factor is other than normal (1X magnification).
Pilots may selectively magnify the display of the map by up to two times normal. Zoom level in-
dicates the amount of that magnification. Zoom increment is 5%. Zoom level is selected via the
cursor control panel.
K. Tactical Overlay. The tactical overlay layer displays symbology to depict intelligence provided threat
and other tactical information. Examples are enemy unit positions, weapon systems with threat
rings, danger areas, etc.
30-9. SYSTEM STATUSING AND MONITORING. There are two types of Built -In Test (BIT) performed by
the Digital Map system: Initial BIT (IBIT) and Continuous (circuit breaker IT). The IBIT begins as soon as the
power is applied to the system. Faults detected during IBIT will be set, and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT operates continuously whenever power is applied and the system has completed
the power up cycle. Faults detected during circuit breaker IT will be set and a discrete output will be sent to the
ACAWS. The circuit breaker IT is accomplished in the background without affecting functional performance.
30-10. ACAWS MESSAGE AND SPECIAL ALERTS. System failure or fault generates the ACAWS advisory
message DIGITAL MAP FAIL.
