Index. The contents of the Chapters are briefly described below.
1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Provides a brief description of the RMS-555 System, and various configurations in
which it is available.
2 CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS
Introduces the controls which the pilot uses to operate the RMS-555 System, and the
displays that provide information back to the pilot.
3 OPERATION
Explains the normal operating procedures of the RMS-555 System.
4 FAULT/WARNINGANNUNCIATIONS
Describes fault and warning messages that can appear and suggested courses of
action.
5 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Contains a listing of various technical parameters for the equipment. Additional
technical information is contained in the RMS-555 Installation Manual, and the RMS-

Introduction
APPENDIX A - HAVE QUICK ANTI-JAMMING TRAINING EXERCISE
Presents a step-by-step program designed to teach flight crews the proper entry
procedures for single WOD and multiple WOD (MWOD).
IV. HOW TO USE THIS PILOT'S GUIDE
This Pilot's Guide assumes the reader is knowledgeable about airborne
communications and navigation systems. Only the operational procedures for the RMS-
555 Radio Management System are includedhere.
It is suggested that Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 be read prior to operating the RMS-555
during actual flight. The pilot should also be familiar with the appropriate Aircraft Flight
Manual Supplement prior to flight. Chapter 5 of this Guide may be reviewed at the
pilot's convenience.
