CAUTION
With the PLT/GND ORIDE switch in the
ORIDE position and the CPG SIGHT SE-
LECT switch set to NVS, the high action
display is disabled. The AWS can be ac-
tioned without any message in weapon
control or weapon status and can result
in damage during takeoff or landing if the
30 mm gun is actioned and depressed in-
advertently.
The CPG fire control panel, placarded FIRE CONTROL
(fig 4-14), is located in the left vertical instrument panel (fig
2-10) and receives power from the No. 1 essential bus
and No. 3 essential dc bus; protection is provided by the
FC AC and FC DC circuit breakers located on the pilot
overhead circuit breaker panel. The CPG FIRE CON-
TROL panel is continuously monitored by FD/LS; the on
command test (test 15-UTIL) will fault isolate to the LRU.
Controls and functions are described in table 4-11.
