This button will jettison all A/G ordnance and other payloads like fuel tanks that is not A/A. It will NOT jettison wingtips. This cannot be done on the ground unless GND JETT is set to ENABLE.

The Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator is located at the bottom of the center console in some blocks. Use the M button to switch modes. This can be used to navigate steerpoints if it is in NAV mode. It can be used to navigate TACAN if it is in TCN mode, and VOR/ADF if in VOR mode. PLS stand for Precision Landing System and in that mode it can use ILS. It stores the CRS between modes, PLS modes have their own and non-PLS modes have their own stored. The CRS knob (radial course) and the HDG knob (captains bars) can be turned faster by holding in Shift. It works mostly as a normal HSI. When the course deviation CDI is invalid it will be a segmented line, and a red bar will appear. If the distance indicator is invalid then a red bar will appear above the NM distance.
