———  HOW TO  ———

use the various Upper Left Panel (ULP) and Manual Data Entry Facility (MDEF) buttons


MDEF

- show the selected item (from the ULP) - here the altitude
- show the  current value - here 4000 feet
- use the keyboard to select the new value
- hit ENT (enter) to validate the entry
- hit CLR (clear) to erase it and retype if needed


ULP

AUTOPILOT buttons :  those in diagonal on the left and the upper row

	AP : 	cancel all AP functions

	AT : 	auto thrust - maintain the speed in kt
			Alt key + AT :	speed in mach

	HDG : 	hold Heading 

	TRK : 	track hold (when used with AIDS/TACAN mode, VOR mode, 
		Nav mode)
		or True heading hold (when used with AIDS / Alt + Nav mode

		Alt key + TRK :	Roll hold

	ALT :	altitude hold
			Alt key + ALT :	Pitch hold

	TFR : 	terrain following, holds AGL altitude (caution in mountains…)

	CLM, ATK, APP :  (top row) work in progress ...


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - >   Each entry now calls a submenu on the ULP panel < - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

MIDS :	Radio facility

	HOME : 	display the radio frequencies in use 
				swap between active and standby freq when  Manual 1 (MAN1) or MAN2 freq are selected.

	and NEXT WPT : 	I think you guessed

	When the route is loaded (or written) then activated,  you can see it on any MFD, NAV DISP page
	If you hit NAV MODE (AIDS menu), then TRK, the autopilot follows the nav route

AIDS : 	main panel for navigation (see picture)

	CURR HDG : 	set the nav bug to the current heading - works with AP: HDG button
	CURR ALT : 	feed the current altitude to the autopilot
	CURR SPD : 	feed the current speed to the autopilot
	HDG BUG : 	call the nav bug
	BUG OFF : 	hide the nav bug (on the Head Up Display)
	TACAN PWR :	switch tacan on / off

	BINGO SET :	set the desired bingo fuel 
		(audio warning + red warning btn + Hud indication when reaching)

	VOR1 MODE : 	set the nav bug to the VOR1 freq (in range), show the VOR id on the HUD, 
				set the AP to intercept the VOR1 radial entered on the CDI 1 (Course Deviation Indicator) 
	The CDI 1 is seen on the left MFD (NAV page), hit NAV SRC to get the blue CDI
	
	Alt key + VOR1 MODE : Direct course to the selected VOR

	VOR2 MODE : 	same procedure with CDI 2 (the yellow one on the left MFD)

	NAV MODE : 	follow and show (HUD) the route loaded in the route manager
		you can also see the route on the MFDs, NAV DISP page

	TACAN MODE : 	sets the nav bug to the selected TACAN, sets the AP to a direct course to the selected tacan

XPDR : transponder set facility - Switch MODES 1, 2, 3A and C as required - IFF codes select and set

INST SET : 	enter the desired TACAN, VOR, ADF and Manual RADIO frequencies with the MDEF 
			here above is an example of the TACAN freq change (current is 101 X)

Caution :
	With the MDEF : 	to enter a TACAN frequency, you need to enter 3 digits before the X or Y 	(for example : nimitz tacan 29Y enter 0 2 9 Y)


XMIT : 	 not used at this time

RAD1 (and RAD2) : 	select the desired freq from the pre-entered list 
		The list is found on the left MFD, FREQ button
