They must be T-2A (T-2J-1-S) in the ON position for the engine to be used. Engine Control Panel ENGINE STARTER Switch The engine STARTER switch initiates the starting cycle. Left clicking on it will place it on the START position and the engine start sequence will begin. All versions except T-2A: Right clicking will place the switch on the STOP position and will cancel the engine start sequence. Releasing the mouse button will return the switch to the OFF position. Note: For all versions except the T-2A, the ENGINE START sequence will begin only if the aircraft is on the ground.

ENGINE AIRSTART Switch (Not available in the T-2A) The engine airstart switch will initiate the engine starting cycle. The start sequence will initiate with the aircraft either in the ground or in the air. The switches are covered to prevent damage to the igniters and should remain OFF. T-2B, T-2C, T-2D & T-2E ENGINE START SEQUENCE PROCEDURE Engine Control Panel To start the engines proceed as follows: 1. Click the MASTER ENGINE switch to the ON position. 2. Click on the ENGINE START switch. The sequence will begin.

To activate the TACAN system you must click on the TACAN MODE selector until it points at T/R. If the selector points to A/A the ILS system will be activated. There are 126 TACAN Channels available. The TACAN system only has access to the X Band; all Y Band TACAN Channels cannot be used. To select a TACAN channel you only have to click on the channel selector. If you keep the left button down the channels will cycle faster. To identify which TACAN channel corresponds to a given VOR Fig 2 frequency you can click on the lid of the map case located

The BHDI is comprised of a compass card, a No. 1 and a No. 2 bearing pointer needles and a digital distance indicator. • The No.1 needle indicates ADF station magnetic bearing when the ADF is active; otherwise it shows Ground Track Heading bearing. If no ADF signal is received while the ADF is active, the needle will point to the North. • The No. 2 needle indicates TACAN station magnetic bearing when the TACAN is active; otherwise it shows Magnetic Ground Track Heading. If no TACAN signal is received while the TACAN is active, the needle will point to the West. • The Digital Distance Indicator will show slant range in nautical miles towards the selected TACAN station. Otherwise it will read 0. • The Compass card will show aircraft magnetic heading. Copyright © 2011-2012 by RAZBAM.
