Combined Altitude Radar Altimeter Automatic LOw altitude Warning. This is a radar altitude warning from Betty when you get below that. The CARA must have view of the ground for this to work. This can be entered on the DED.
Mean Sea Level altitude advisory Floor. This is when you want Betty to remind you to switch to/from QNH/standard baro pressure. This can be entered on the DED.

This button will jettison all A/G ordnance and other payloads like fuel tanks that is not A/A. It will NOT jettison wingtips. This cannot be done on the ground unless GND JETT is set to ENABLE.

The Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator is located at the bottom of the center console in some blocks. Use the M button to switch modes. This can be used to navigate steerpoints if it is in NAV mode. It can be used to navigate TACAN if it is in TCN mode, and VOR/ADF if in VOR mode. PLS stand for Precision Landing System and in that mode it can use ILS. It stores the CRS between modes, PLS modes have their own and non-PLS modes have their own stored. The CRS knob (radial course) and the HDG knob (captains bars) can be turned faster by holding in Shift. It works mostly as a normal HSI. When the course deviation CDI is invalid it will be a segmented line, and a red bar will appear. If the distance indicator is invalid then a red bar will appear above the NM distance.
