Falcon BMS 4 33 Taxi, Takeoff, and DED functionality

08:42 - DED pages and interaction. This video goes over the basic taxi/takeoff for the f16 and the most used pages of the DED. It&a bit longer and in the future I will try to focus on a single system of the F16 for each video. As promised this is the calculation for bingo fuel taken from the TO-BMS1F-16CM-1 manual in your bms folder under X:Falcon BMS 4.33 U1DocsFalcon BMS Manuals page 122. 1. Min fuel on landing for F-16 Block 50/52: 1200 lbs (800 lbs for earlier blocks). 2 a) If VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions): 1 pattern = 400 lbs - so add 400 lbs just in case you screw up the overhead and need to go around. 2 b) If IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions): 1 STAR = 800 lbs, so add 800 lbs just in case you have to go missed approach and re-do the STAR. 3. Compute fuel needed to go the alternate. If alternate is say 70Nm from home, multiply by 10 = 700 lbs to get there. 4. Final calculation is from the furthest steerpoint of the flight plan. Take the return leg distance (along the route, not in a straight line) into consideration and multiply it by 15 to estimate fuel needed: (so 15 lbs/Nm for mid altitude – multiply by 20 for low altitude egress) So if the furthest point is 200 Nm away from home plate calculate 200 x 15 = 3000 lbs. So BINGO is the sum of all that: 1200 + 400 + 700 + 3000 = 5300 for VMC. 1200 + 800 + 700 + 3000 = 5700 for IMC. Joker is 1000 more: 6300 and 6700 respectively.
