70 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Intake radius

9 feet, 25 feet at military

Apu exhaust velocity

142 mph at a temp of 328 to350f

Type of engine

F404-ge-400. Low bypass, axial flow, dual spool, turbo fan engine of modular construction with afterburner.

Ignition system is made up of

Alternator, ECA, fuel control, ignition exciter, main igniter, AB igniter, AB flame sensor, two fan speed transmitters and a thermocouple harness.

Engine lubrication

Self contained recirculation, dry sump requiring no external connections or inputs.

Secondary power system

Consists of APU and AMAD

Three modes of operation for APU

GMM, MES and ECS

How is AMAD connected to the APU

Pneumatic through the ATS.

How long is ignition system energized

Until N2 rpm is 54% or greater or the throttle is retarded below idle.

Barometric altimeter

Uses pitot static pressure to indicate altitude above sea level

Radar altimeter

Uses radio echos to determine altitude above ground level.

Azimuth

The angular position or bearing in a horizontal plane usually measured clockwise from true north

Bearing

Angular position of an object with respect to a reference point or line

Range

The distance of an object from an observer

Heading

Actual orientation of the aircraft's longitudinal axis at any instance. True heading is direction measured by true north

Magnetic heading

Uses the direction of the earth's magnetic field at that location as the reference.

Relative heading

Uses the current direction that the object is facing the 0/360 azimuth alignment

VHF

Very high frequency

UHF

Ultra high frequency

TACAN

Tactical air navigation. Used to determine relative bearing and slant range distance to a TACAN ground station or equipped aircraft.

INS

Inertial navigation system. Self contained, fully automatic, dead reckoning navigation system. It detects motion and provides acceleration, velocity, present position, pitch, roll and true heading to related systems.

GPS

Global positioning system. Receives info from satellite. Pilot and aircraft systems are continuously updated present position, velocity and time information.

ARI

Attitude reference indicator. Uses gyro and provides a minimum three minutes of attitude info with loss of power. Provide backup pitch and roll attitude for use by other systems.

ILS

Instrument landing system. All weather approach guidance system. Provides steering info during approach by decoding azimuth and elevation microwave signals received from surface transmitters. Signals are displayed on the HUD and the ARI.

ADC

Air data computer.

ADSU

Airstream direction sensing unit

TTP

Total temperature probe

Data link

Two way UHF communications link

Radar

Radio detection and ranging. Provides air to air and air to ground modes for target detection.

DDI

Digital display indicators. There are two. LDDI Provides NVIS (night vision image system)

Hero

Hazards of electromagnetic radiation to ordinance.

Yellow ordinance

High explosive

Brown ordinance

Rocket motor

Station 5

Gun

M61a1 20mm gun

CADS used to jettison weapons stores

Mk. 19, Mk. 125 and Mk. 107

Cluster bombs

Anti tank bomb clusters. Free fall weapons used against armored vehicles.

Types of air to air missiles

Aim-7 (sparrow), aim-9 (sidewinder), aim-120 (AMRAAM) advanced medium range air to air missile.

What are types of AGM missiles

AGM-65 (maverick), -84, -84d (harpoon), -84e (slam) stand of land attack missile, -84h (slam-er), -88 (harm) high speed anti radiation missile.

What type ejection seat is used

Sju-17a

How is ejection seat operated

Ballistic gas pressure. Each seat initiator contains two cartridges (left and right). Gasses from the right cartridge start the canopy jettison sequence. The left activates redundant and provides a back up source to fire the seat.

Emergency oxygen system

Contained in seat pan. A 100 cubic inch emergency oxygen cylinder.

Canopy system

Pyrotechnicaly operated emergency canopy removal.

What does ECS provide (12 subsystems)
