Flight Deck Photos and/or Graphic Representation
The primary flight instrument which provides flight, navigational steering, and weapon delivery information.

Velocity Vector
Provides the pilot with an outside world reference with regard to actual aircraft flight path. The Velocity Vector represents the point towards which the aircraft is flying.

Bank Angle Scale
Bank angle reference up to 45°. The Bank Angle will flash if the aircraft excess 47°.

Heading
Indicates aircraft's magnetic / true Heading highlighted by a moving 30° Heading scale.

Airspeed
Calibrated Airspeed from the air data computer.

Altitude
Displays either barometric or radar Altitude depending on the setting of the Altitude switch on the HUD control panel.

Barometric Setting
Displays Barometric setting used by the air data computer.

MACH Speed
Displays aircraft MACH speed.

G
Normal acceleration of aircraft.

Peak
A Peak position g indication is displayed anytime a threshold of 4.0 g is exceeded.

ZTOD,ET or CD Time
Zulu Time of Day, Elapsed Time or Countdown. Only one Time is available for display on the HUD at anyone time.

Target Designation
Indicates Target heading.

Waypoint, OPA, Mark Point, or TACAN
Steer to Point identifiers.

Rate of Climb / Decent
Indicates the rate of Climb and Decent of the aircraft.

Refuel / NWS Indexer Lights

RDY - Lights for permission to refuel.
AR NWS - Lights if refueling boom is connect or if NWS is activate.
DISC - Lights if refueling boom is Disconnect.

Angle of Attack
True Angle of Attack in degrees.

Angle of Attack Indexer Lights
Shows approach Angle of Attack ( AOA ) with lighted symbols. The indexer operates only with the landing gear down and weight off the gear. Symbol lights to indicate approach speed. The Lighted symbol will flash if the arresting hook is up and the HOOK BYPASS switch is in CARRIER.

V - "V" too high ( > 15° )
O - "O" ideal ( 13° )
V - upside-down "V" too low ( < 11 )

Flight Path / Pitch Ladder
The vertical flight path angle of the aircraft is indicated by the position of the Velocity Vectoron the Flight Path/Pitch Ladder. The horizon and Flight Path/Pitch angle lines represent the horizon and each 5° of angle between plus and minus 90°.
