FA 18C

F/A-18C Hornet

Two CDU pages — the Up-Front Control (UFC) and the IFEI (engine/fuel display) — switchable with the page keys. The AGP32 receives gear position, gear warning, flap position, and clock/timer data.

Supported devices

Device	What it shows
CDU (MCDU / PFP3N / PFP7 / PFP4)	UFC scratchpad/options page, IFEI page, Master Caution LED
AGP32	Gear position lights + warning, flap lights, UTC clock, ET, chrono

CDU display

The Hornet uses two pages on the CDU:

• UFC page (default) — the up-front controller fields.
• IFEI page — engine, fuel, and clock readout. Its colour follows the cockpit lighting mode (DAY / NITE / NVG).

Switch pages with the configured keys (defaults: NextPage → IFEI, PrevPage → UFC). The page keys are configurable in the options.

Brightness / lighting

No dedicated brightness control; the IFEI colour tracks the cockpit DAY/NITE/NVG switch.

AGP32

Gear and warning lights

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 triangles (all three) + red arrow	Gear handle warning light

Flap lights

The F/A-18C has no auto-brake, so the two lower AutoBrk DECEL LEDs are repurposed for flap position:

AGP32 LED (A320 label)	F/A-18C meaning
AutoBrk LO DECEL	Half flaps
AutoBrk MED DECEL	Full flaps

Clock displays

Clock and timer data comes from the IFEI:

AGP32 display	Content
Clock (HH:MM:SS)	UTC time
ET (MM:SS)	Timer minutes and seconds
CHR (HH:MM)	Timer hours and minutes — shown only when timer hours are non-zero

Front panels

FCU/EFIS and PAP3 stay idle — the F/A-18C does not publish speed, heading, or altitude.

Notes

• Page-switch keys can be remapped in the Options panel.
