8.2.14 ACL Mode 1 and 1A Approaches. A typical Mode 1 and 1A approach is shown in figure 8-4.
The Mode 1/1A approach does not require automatic throttle control but it should be used, if available.
The following procedure is for a typical Mode 1 and 1A approach from marshal to touchdown or 0.5
mile.
1. Horizontal indicator (HI/MPCD) - PRESS ACL
The Link 4 display appears on the left DDI and ACL mode automatically starts its self test. At
this time, the ILS, data link, and radar beacon are automatically turned on (if not previously on);
IBIT is run on the data link and radar beacon systems. Also, the uplinked universal test message
is monitored for valid receipt.
2. On board ACL capability - CHECK ACL 1
ACL 1 must be displayed on the Link 4 display to accomplish a Mode 1 or 1A approach.
WARNING
A degraded augmenter may lead to a significant lineup error, most often
right-of-centerline. ACL coupling with an augmenter DEGD is not
inhibited.
3. Report departing marshal.
4. Normal CCA - PERFORM
Descend at 4,000 feet per minute and 250 knots to 5,000 feet, (platform) then reduce rate of
descent to 2,000 feet per minute. When passing through approximately 5,000 feet, ILS steering is
automatically displayed on the HUD and must be manually deselected, if not desired.
a. At 5,000 feet, report - SIDE NUMBER, PLATFORM
b. Continue descent to 1,200 feet MSL.
c. At 10 miles, report - SIDE NUMBER, 10 MILES
5. Landing checklist - COMPLETE AT 10 MILES
a. Slow to approach speed at 6 miles.
6. Automatic throttle control - ENGAGE
7. Radar altitude hold - ENGAGE (if desired)
ACL acquisition occurs at approximately 3.5 to 5 miles and is indicated by ACL RDY on the DDI
and the data link steering (TADPOLE) on the HUD. It is desired, but not required, to have ACL
coupled at least 30 seconds before tipover. T/C is replaced by MODE 1 on the link 4 display.
After ACL Acquisition -
8. On the upfront control, CPL button - PRESS TWICE
Traffic control must be decoupled by pressing CPL and then CPL must be pressed a second time
to couple ACL. When the aircraft is not coupled, ACL RDY is displayed on the HUD. ACL couple
is indicated by CMD CNT and MODE 1 on the DDI and CPLD P/R on the HUD. At this time,
the uplinked command displays of heading, airspeed, altitude, and rate of descent are removed
from the DDI and HUD.
9. When coupled, report - SIDE NUMBER, COUPLED
10. When aircraft responds to automatic commands, report - SIDE NUMBER, COMMAND
CONTROL
Mode 1A Approach -
11. At 0.5 mile, the controller or pilot may downgrade the approach to Mode 2. Continue manually
with the approach and make a visual landing.
a. Uncouple, report - SIDE NUMBER, HORNET, BALL or CLARA, FUEL STATE.
CAUTION
The paddle switch should be activated to ensure reversion to CAS
operation. Extreme pitch-axis PIO will result if the approach is continued
with autopilot inadvertently engaged.
Mode 1 Approach -
12. At 0.5 mile controller advises the pilot to call the ball. Report - SIDE NUMBER, HORNET,
COUPLED, BALL or CLARA, FUEL STATE.
13. At approximately 12.5 seconds before touchdown, the uplinked 10 SEC is displayed on the DDI
and HUD.
14. After touchdown, ACL and automatic throttles are disengaged.
NOTE
After Mode 1 or 1A downgrade or touch-and-go, actuate the paddle
switch to ensure complete autopilot disengagement.
