Salute!

The F-16 net, sub section F-35, has excellent descriptions of the FLCS and the engine/fan logic depending upon 'mode" the pilot selects and then the "mode" that HAL selects, heh heh.

I highly recommend the King's subjects, that dominate posts here, dare to visit the F-16 net, f-35 forum. Some of the other forums are worth exploring, as well. Mog and other Harrier folks will enjoy the description of the vertical landing mode.

A few of us have posited that HAL got confused with the bounce, reverted to "flight" sub-modes, the fan had shut down and finally, the pilot initieated the ejection. A few of us have been looking at the WoW switch logic, but we all felt something did not work as expected.
