The aircraft's flight control system primarily comprises a triply redundant command stability augmentation system(CSAS) using fly-by-wire and autostabilization, and an autopilot/flight director(APFD). Coupled with the nav/attack system, these allow the aircraft to fly with high stability and near-sonic speed at 200 ft(61 m) above ground level in all weathers. Over known flat surfaces, such as southern Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, altitude can be further reduced by reliance on the radar altimeter alone.  3, record 7, English, - command%20stability%20augmentation%20system

Au-dessus des terrains plats (tels que celui du sud de l'Irak durant la guerre du Golfe de 1991), il est possible de réduire davantage l'altitude en se fiant uniquement à l'altimètre radar.  1, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A9lectrique%20d%27augmentation%20de%20stabilit%C3%A9

Fog formed as air is cooled adiabatically by blowing up sloping terrain.  3, record 9, English, - upslope%20fog

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The upslope cooling may form clouds concurrently with the fog. As is the case with advection fog, upslope fog can form with moderate to strong winds under cloudy skies. In stable air, upslope fog will form as soon as the air is cooled to the surface dew point. Temperature and dew point close at about 4°F for each 1, 000 feet rise in altitude. When air is unstable, convective clouds may form; fog forms at the surface where the ground level is at or above the condensation level.  3, record 9, English, - upslope%20fog
