If only I could remember. I will research, however, I do recall that there were square select buttons, I believe near the throttles. The system could be selected to be in full auto AWS and AMD or just auto AWS. Manual selection of either AWS or AMD deselected that part of the system.
The downfall of the AWS was that only 25/45/58/67 were in the programme so it was not fully variable. The AMD operated on AOA values. It could not anticipate manoeuvre and because the srew jacks took so long to operate, they could not cater for the rapid onset of AOA and so performance was less than optimal. When flying a non aerodynamic brick this was not on ideal situation.
