PB | ||
---|---|---|
PB's in the F/A-18C designate the buttons around the AMPCD and DDI's (20 each). The screens show the current options of the buttons next to the PB's. When pressed, the screen either switches to the specified page, or the activated option is framed to indicate that it is selected or active. If there is nothing next to the PB, it has no function at the moment. In our courses we name the buttons after their function. In other sources they are numbered consecutively (from the bottom left corner clockwise e.g: PB 19 is in the bottom row of the 2nd from the left). Further information: | ||
PVI-800 | ||
---|---|---|
The PVI-800 is one of the two navigation systems of the KA-50. It has no graphical display. It operates independently of the ABRIS, the only exception being the graphic representation of a navigation target of the PVI-800 in the ABRIS as a blue square. The PVI-800 is based on the INU of the KA-50. The PVI-800 delivers the data to the route autopilot of the KA-50.
