Hi, I'm trying to find some documentation that shows the screens and operation of the AMU in the C-130J but I haven't had any success yet. I'd love to get a copy of NAVAIR 01-75GAJ-1.2 because I know it has the info I'm looking for but I'd take anything that documents the AMU. I'd also love a copy of NAVAIR 01-75GAJ-1.1 (or equivalent) but it's not as critical. I'm working on a C-130 add-on for MSFS2020 and I think I have most of the information I need for the different variants but the AMU operation in the 'J' remains elusive so hopefully someone can help. Best regards, AMP.
