En actionnant les diverses gouvernes de l'avion au travers des équipements du système de commande vol, le pilote est capable de diriger et d'orienter son appareil en fonction des besoins ou des phases de vol. Le système de commandes de vol sait dialoguer avec les autres systèmes de l'avion (suivi de terrain, pilote automatique, ...). Les commandes de vol électriques suppriment toute timonerie entre le pilote et les gouvernes, cela permet de piloter des avions naturellement instables, comme le Mirage 2000 et le Rafale, leur conférant ainsi une grande maniabilité. 3, record 4, French, - circuit%20de%20commandes%20de%20vol

The display unit uses a flat panel domestic Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display(AMLCD). The FDS functionally replaces the P-3 electro-mechanical Horizontal Situation Indicator(ID-1540/A), electro-mechanical Flight Director Indicators(FDI)(ID-1556), selected functions of the Navigation Availability Advisory Lights, and integrates GPS navigation with the flight instruments.

Two new tracking functions, BeaconTrac and OBS-Trac, expand tracking capabilities of the new Bendix RDR-1400 digital colour weather radar, according to the company.(...) BeaconTrac generates an inbound course to a discrete beacon. This course line is generated from the beacon display and can be rotated 360 degrees around the beacon with the HSI(Horizontal Situation Indicator) course selector. BeaconTrac will operate up to 80 nmi(about 150 km). Using the HSI course selector to position the BeaconTrac line, the pilot can readily determine an intercept or approach path. Once on BeaconTrac and heading inbound, the RDR-1400 displays left/right deviation to the beacon. 1, record 8, English, - intercept%20path

Dans le premier de ces modes [Beacon-Trac] qui est utilisable sur des distances allant jusqu'à 80 milles marins (150 km environ), l'image sur l'écran est complétée par une ligne représentant la route à suivre pour arriver à la verticale d'une balise radar, ligne qu'il est possible de faire tourner autour de la position de la station au moyen du sélecteur de route de l'indicateur de situation horizontale. Après avoir orienté cet axe de façon appropriée, le pilote peut facilement déterminer une trajectoire d'interception ou d'approche; il lui suffit alors de mettre le cap sur la station et de corriger éventuellement celui-ci en suivant les indications d'écart gauche/droite sur l'écran. 1, record 8, French, - trajectoire%20d%27interception
