It's like a big Mercedes on his head.
The original one was a little sleeker, but it didn't work too well in the NVG NOE environment, this is the compromise that lets you use ANVNS-9s.
BigIron could probably talk to the official process a bit better than I can, but fleet guys need to hazrep/ptr their gripes to let NAVAIR know that there's stuff that needs fixing otherwise navair doesn't know there's an issue.i'm sure there's a program for reporting system design problems (software/ hardware displays, etc.). i think on the f-14 it was called AWCAP or software problem reports. if you have these problems please don't limit discussions/complaints to the user level and don't assume the problems are being reported by someone else. the tech rep may or may not be the right guy. its gotta be reported to NAVAIR.
maybe everone knows about these things at one level but don't assume the guys who can fix it know about it. basically,reporting is the user's responsibility.
also, the squadron should have a document that lists existing design dificiencies. if you have the problem you can even submit amplifing data when you can.
when visiting squadrons as a grumman company rep, i was continually amazed about how ignorant the fleet guys were of these reporting sustems.
i specifically remember one time when visiting a ship in the med to brief the users on the (then new) TCS system around 1984. one young fella's input,
"when you get back to the factory can you have the mechanics move the master arm switch to the other side of the ACM panel?"
its a bit more complex than that but i did submit a report and the navy guys at pt mugu responded. they didn't move the switch but as i recall it was corrected in the d model
feedback, gents
