Radio Hand Controls¶
Either crewmember may transmit over any radio, using either the PTT/RTS switch on the cyclic grip or the left floor-mounted foot switch.
Cyclic & Collective Controls¶
The Pilot and Copilot/Gunner Cyclic Grips include identical controls for radio selection and transmission.
Pressing the switch to the left transmits over the crewmember’s selected radio. Pressing the switch to the right transmits over the ICS between the two crewstations (and ground crews). Depressing the PTT/RTS switch inward advances the EUFD Radio Transmit Select Indicator for the crewstation to the next radio in sequence.
Foot Controls¶
The Pilot and Copilot/Gunner crewstations include floor-mounted foot switches for radio and ICS transmission. Pressing the left floor switch transmits over the crewmember’s selected radio. Pressing the right floor switch transmits over the ICS between the two crewstations (and ground crews).
