Command Mach Indicator

A Command Mach Indicator is a type of radio navigation equipment that is used in airborne applications. It falls under the supply class of Radio Navigation Equipment and is categorized within the supply group of Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

The Command Mach Indicator is designed to provide pilots with real-time information about the aircraft's Mach number, which is a measure of the aircraft's speed relative to the speed of sound. This information is crucial for maintaining safe and efficient flight operations.

The Command Mach Indicator typically consists of a display unit that shows the current Mach number, as well as other relevant information such as airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed. It may also include additional features such as warning indicators for exceeding certain Mach limits or other flight parameters.

Overall, the Command Mach Indicator plays a vital role in ensuring accurate and reliable navigation for airborne operations, particularly in high-speed aircraft where precise control of the Mach number is essential.
