The reference cited is from the wrong airframe.
The correct manual for Belgian F-16s will be either a GS (general system; theory of operations) or JG (job guide; step-by-step procedural instructions) technical order of the form T.O. 1F-16AM-2-x where x = [system][GS or JG]-[subsystem]-[manual].
If memory serves correct, F-16 WOW switch override is strictly an external affair and cannot be performed from the cockpit.
- bitwalker 8y agoIt has to be done from outside the cockpit, but is not unusual as a prerequisite step for a variety of avionics systems tests and repairs (source: I'm an ex-USAF F-16C/D avionics maintainer). They may have had it overridden for a check, or if deliberate, done so prior to entering the cockpit.
- metaphor 8y agoThanks for corroborating. Former 2A3x2 back in the day as well, albeit assigned to the F-117 after Sheppard and never toured Osan/Kunsan, so F-16 details were all but lost in the details of life after service.
