E-2 Hawkeye/C-2 Greyhound

Yeah, it's coming in the next version of the software, which also upgrades the processor in the computer. (386 just isn't cutting it these days.) PMA-299 talked about it at NHA.

E-2s can file /G if they have the Garmin AFC installed.

I've heard the Unicorn.. I mean Delta cannot file /G as of a year ago, and the delta glass cockpit is actually a step backwards from the CNS/ATM upgrade the Cs are getting.

By the way, I can neither confirm, nor deny, that none of the aforementioned /codes stopped me from accepting a 1000 mile direct leg. Just sayin'

 

[squorch2]

"can you accept direct" is clutch on the road.

Could the EP-3 not file I? Should be all you need to go direct.

Was never an issue in the EP, we always filed /I or /G...sometimes on repos or pilot trainers in the straight stick we'd find ourselves cleared direct and since there was no INS in the flight station, we'd GPS it out of convenience...we always filed /A there, but controllers would always offer direct legs.

The R is currently upgrading now and the one after this upgrade is supposed to have all the gee-whiz nav stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if the S is an iteration ahead.

Getting back to the thread, the C-2s file /G.

If taking 1000 mile direct legs is cool, consider me Miles Davis!

kmac- What do you think of the CNS/ATM & 8-Blades now that your back? I thought it took 10 years off the airframe.

I'm getting used to the CNS/ATM but the 8-blades are still proving to be difficult for my 3-part power corrections when the bird is light. I'm getting better, but it's definitely a challenge being so far aft on the power quadrant.

I really don't like the FPV but maybe that's because I've never had one. The selectable bearings are pretty Gucci...as long as I can keep the TACAN on two. Now that my scan inside has improved, I'm really digging the PFD for AOA ,airspeed, VSI, and altitude. Or having ground speed displayed while doing the 6Ts on an approach... Or just about anything else it can display. Yeah, I like it.

 

[HooverPilot]

I'm a big fan of CNS/ATM and even of the 8-blade. I do not like the FPV, you lose too much else. Each pilot should find what they want displayed, and use it though. I do foresee some nuggets becoming cripples to it but with good instruction, it could be a pretty good tool for some.

Studs, pay attention. the 6 Ts *work*. That's why we harp on them.

 

[MIDNJAC]

I can't even remember what the 6 T's were.......think turn talk tune time tampon?

edit: though I'm sure I knew them when I flew with Kmac in primary, which was the last time I ever heard of this
