Use of the Cannon

5. Manual Mode

The manual mode is only interesting if CCIP is not available (e.g. due to damage).

In manual mode the crosshair is fixed and are not calculated. This corresponds to the Reversionary sights as used for example in World War II (see Bf 109). The pilot then has to aim himself and take into account the variable parameters such as speed, angle of attack, altitude etc. This requires extensive experience and practice.

With the UFC you can adjust the vertical position of the crosshair in mils from 0 to 270.

Procedures

Here is the description of the necessary steps:

  1. Press the PB04 next to MAN.
  2. Then the PB14 next to UFC.
  3. Press the Options-Button1 next to RTCL.
  4. Enter the desired value using the numeric keypad in the UFC. Here, in the example 10.
    If you have mistyped, you can delete the input with CLR.
  5. Confirm the input with ENT.
  6. The new value is applied to the SMS.
