Specific Duties
- Navigational references/course plotting.
The Flight control
console displays readings from navigational and tactical sensors overlaying them on
current positional and course projections. Primary data can be verified against secondary
navigational and science sensor data.
- Manual flight operations. The computer handles normal flight
instructions, but Conn has the option of exercising manual control over helm and
navigational functions. When full manual mode is enabled Conn can actually steer the ships
course using keypad control.
- Reaction control system (RCS). Under normal status the
computer automatically handles flight vector and sequence control, Conn has the option to
manually control these systems.
