EGI Problems

I think most of you have heard about my EGI problems the other day. I had some EGI alignment problems which caused the EGI not to work at all. Had to fly the whole sortie with no EGI, TAD, TVV, and in HARS.

The main problem I think was that the initial position was not loading from the DTC or last position. On the align page it was showing the position to be Lat Long of all zeros. After the sortie the specialist had me put in the coordinates of the Dragon Ramp (N 32 10.58 / W 110 53.05) when the EGI first started to align. This made the EGI align correctly, from what we could tell. The coordinates for the Dragon ramp are on page 1-5 of the IFG. Hope you guys never have this problem but if you do hope this helps.

Here is the stuff I sent out from work too, so it is saves forever on our blog.

DO NOT PUT MASTER ARM INTO TRAIN WHILE FLYING!!!!!
I know in academics they said to mess with the RWR and things, but do not mess with the master arm switch. It can mess with the rounds count. I would recommend not to turn any of that shit on until we need it for the sortie. Harpoon told me to make sure everyone knows this so he doesn't have to bring up to Two Dogs.
More NUGS:
-1 and -34 checklist dividers are on the table in the vault.
Make sure you know the 11-202v3 WX requirements for an alternate. Page 2-24 in the warrior guide is wrong, still the old requirements. Now they are: ALT REQ: <2000'>
Pre programmed AWE ARC210 preset freq's 21-25. In awe under the COMM tab, then ARC210 tab, one preset freq option is TRFREQ.153 file. Drag that to the right with the current zulu days file and the following will be loaded as pre-sets as long as you load ARC210 on start up. 21-ABQ HI, 22-ABQ LO, 23-LIBBY ATIS, 24-LIBBY APP, 25-TW-1.
