F 14B
The CDU cycles between two pages: a RIO CAP page (tactical data entry) and a Radio + IFF page (communications and transponder status). The Radio page is shown on load.
The AGP32 shows the landing-gear lights and the cockpit clock/timer.
Covers both the F-14B and F-14A-135-GR variants (detected automatically).
| Device | What it shows |
|---|---|
| CDU (MCDU / PFP3N / PFP7 / PFP4) | RIO CAP page, Radio + IFF page |
| AGP32 | Gear position lights (left, nose, right), gear warning, UTC clock, chrono, elapsed time |
The CDU switches between the two pages using configurable keys (defaults: PrevPage → RIO CAP, NextPage → Radio + IFF), which you can remap in the Options panel.
The Radio page is shown by default.
Mirrors the RIO's Computer Address Panel — the tactical data-entry panel used by the Radar Intercept Officer.
The top line shows the current HCU mode (TID / TCS / RADAR / DDD), the WCS radar mode (TWS Auto, Pulse Search, TWS Man, PD Search, PD STT, RWS, Pulse STT), and the selected CAP category (BIT, SPL, NAV, TAC DATA, D/L, TGT DATA).
Below it, the CAP category labels are listed in pairs, alternating white (upper) and cyan (lower) to match the cockpit CAP panel layout.
Shows live status for both radios and the IFF transponder, exactly as they read in the cockpit.
Shows the radio function (OFF / MAIN / BOTH / ADF), the frequency mode (preset / manual / guard), the active channel or preset, the frequency, and a squelch indicator. When the radio is off, the line shows OFF in place of the frequency.
Shows the mode (OFF / T/R / T/R&G / DF / TEST), the frequency mode, the channel or preset, the frequency, the FM/AM selection, and a squelch indicator. When the radio is off, the line shows OFF in place of the frequency.
Mirrors the transponder panel: the MASTER setting (OFF / STBY / LOW / NORM / EMER), the Mode 1 / 2 / 3A switches (OFF / ON / TST), Mode 4 (OFF / ON), the IDENT setting (OFF / MIC / IDT), and the CODE position (HLD / A / B / ZRO). The selected Mode 1 and Mode 3 codes are shown on their own line.
| AGP32 LED | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gear 1 (left) green | Left main gear down-and-locked |
| Gear 2 (nose) green | Nose gear down-and-locked |
| Gear 3 (right) green | Right main gear down-and-locked |
| UNLK red + red arrow | Any gear not down-and-locked |
| AGP32 display | Content |
|---|---|
| Clock (HH:MM) | UTC hours and minutes |
| CHR (MM:SS) | Chronograph minutes and seconds |
| ET (HH:MM) | Elapsed hours and minutes — shown only when elapsed hours are above zero |
Seconds on the main clock always read 00 (the cockpit provides no seconds output).
The FCU/EFIS and PAP3 panels stay idle.
- The F-14 pilot has no traditional CDU; the CAP is exclusively a RIO instrument. The bridge shows RIO data regardless of which seat is active in DCS.
