Besides the WARNING and CAUTION messages the VMS provides discrete voice messages for
specific conditions:
• “ALTITUDE – ALTITUDE” advises that descent is occurring after take-off, radar altitude is
below the CARA A-LOW setting, or barometric altitude is below the MSL A-LOW setting.
• “BINGO – BINGO” is played when the fuel quantity reaches the set Bingo amount in the UFC,
as long as the FUEL QTY SEL is in NORM.
• “JAMMER” is played if CMDS REQJAM is activated and warns the pilot that use of the jammer
is advised and consent is required.
• “COUNTER” advises that a dispense command should be initiated (active in CMDS SEMI
mode).
• “LOCK – LOCK” advises the pilot that the FCR has locked on a target.
• “PULLUP – PULLUP” advises that the ground proximity warning has been activated and a 4G
pull is immediately required to avoid terrain.
• “CHAFF – FLARE” advises that CMDS has initiated a dispense program release (active only if
FDBK is turned on in the DED CMDS page).
• “LOW” advises that expendables have reached their bingo level (if turned ON in the CMDS
UFC page).
• “DATA” is played when the IDM receives data link information.
• VMS is also able to play the LOW SPEED warning tone and Landing Gear warning horn.
The VMS is inhibited with WOW, but can be tested with the MAL & IND LTS test button. During test,
each word is heard once in sequence.
