Overview
A quick, screenshot-based guide for the cockpit of the AW189-SW/-Number in brackets for each display is the button no. (from the left) on the MFD menu (bottom of edge of screen) for that display.- ‘2nd tap’ function occurs when the button for that display is tapped while that display is already active (a ‘2nd tap’).
(1) Primary Flight Display (PFD), seat & remote hotkeys & remote control
2nd tap function: Enable Waypoint heading & distance readouts
– Hover mode & Horizontal velocity indicator engage when below 20kts
Seat Hotkeys
1. P: cntrl / H: AP
2. P: spdH / H:altH
3. Radio PTT
4. Take/Release SARcam Cntrl
5. Winch Up
6. Winch down
P: Press/tap. Press the key briefly for this function
H: Hold Press and hold until the function occurs
The cntrl swap system works as a ‘snatch’ rather than a swap. e.g If AP is enabled, just need to tap 1 to take cntrl back, rather than hold 1 to release AP (tapping 1 when in cntrl or releasing AP by holding 1 will return the heli to NCI (no control input). This also means that to swap control the new pilot taps 1 and the current pilot doesn’t do anything (also means current pilot can’t forcefully pass control to the new pilot, current pilot can only release their own control to NCI)
