Hi

Page 21 of the manual, the table of AoA indexer is describing the inverse of the real life manual, ie it switches fast and low speed.

dangerous!

Manual is wrong: AOA Indexer!!!

 

The Angle-Of-Attack (AOA) Indexer is described wrong in the manual (Eng. and Ger.).

It is shown like it would be in the A-10 but since the FA-18 is a Navy plane the logic is different.

Page 21/22 show the opposite of slow and fast!

 

This is fast not slow:

This left me a little bit scared what else could be wrong in the manual when an important thing like this is not correct ...

Is there any reason why the US Navy chose the seemingly counter-intuitive colour scheme for their standard AOA indexer?

 

The US Air Force's colours would seem to make more sense, as illustrated by the F-16's example:

 

Green donut: on correct AOA

Amber up-arrow: Caution, you're fast, reduce power and raise the nose

Red down-arrow: Danger, you're approaching the stall, add power and lower the nose.

 

So why is the Air Force's red danger signal, shown in green (=safe) on the Navy version?
