Virtual Backseaters Volume I: F-14 RIO – Fourth Public Draft
A few months have passed, and a new public draft of VBS volume I is out, adding 184 pages to the previous release.
Simplified: Navigation Command and Control Grid (NAV GRID)
The Navigation Command and Control Grid or NAV GRID was designed to enable easy navigation and CAP control from a common fixed reference point. As an extended function of GND STAB, it enables TID readout of bearing and range from that set reference point, referred to as YY. Additionally, it also displays a grid extending from YY along a set threat axis. The purpose of the grid itself is to allow for quick position reference while a precise readout is available for a hooked target, as well as voice codes. Practically this is useful for Bullseye calls when receiving picture updates from controllers.
Simplified: The TID and the Velocity Vector
The aim of this article is to provide an easy and succinct explanation of how the velocity vector works on the TID, and how to read it. While not a deep drilldown, it should give the prospective RIO adequate tools to understand the vectors of tracks.
