DAY 1: 11-248 Chapter 1, Squadron Standards 1.1-2.6

What are the three basic rules that apply to all emergency procedures?

Maintain aircraft control

Analyze the situation

Take proper action

Land as soon as conditions permit

What is a "critical action" vs a "noncritical action?"

Critical: Boldface procedures that are committed to memory

Noncritical: Checklist steps that contribute to an orderly sequence of events that improve chances for successful recovery

What does "land as soon as possible" mean?

A landing should be accomplished at the nearest suitable landing area considering severity of emergency, WX, field facility, lighting, and command guidance. Dash 1 dictates that an emergency will be declared.

What does "land as soon as conditions permit" mean?

Determined by nature of emergency and sound judgement.

What does "land as soon as practical" mean?

Emergency conditions are less urgent. The mission should be terminated; however, and immediate landing may not be necessary.

What is the command to abandon an aircraft in flight?

"BAILOUT, BAILOUT, BAILOUT!"

What is A-A-B-C-D-E-F of tabletop/standup EPs?

A - Aircraft control

A - Analyze the situation

B - Bold face

C - Cleanup items and checklists

D - Declare, with a plan

E - Egress/Ejection

F - Follow the plan

What is the FEVER check?

Fluctuating fuel Flow

Excessive ITT

Visual signals (smoke, flames, oil on the windscreen, etc.)

Erratic engine operation

Roughness

What two things are required in order to have a positive transfer of aircraft control?

Positive verbal affirmation and physical shaking of the stick

What are the three means of clearing in priority order?

Eyes, ears, and traffic advisory system (TAS)

When should you not attempt an engine restart?

Fire, FOD, or frozen

When should the engine be shutdown in flight?

Confirmed fire or excessively vibrating with indications of impending failure

Brief time for simulator

1+00

Brief time for 1st flight in phase, checkrides, PCs, ECs

1+30

Brief time for LLs, 1st off-station of the day

Student Responsibilities

Students will be prepared for all events for which they are currently opted, to include a Mission Data Card (MDC).

Standard for Aircraft Preflight

Students will plan to check aircraft forms and perform the exterior inspection on each sortie unless the IP directs otherwise.

Standard for Spare Aircraft Procedures

Coordinate tail changes, chock extensions, and low level entry time changes on LOWELL Ops (Ch 15). IPs should perform the exterior inspection while the student straps in and starts checklists.

Standard for Clearance/Taxi Procedures

Set transponder to ALT while taxiing. Pilots should taxi staggered on the parallel taxiway while at home station.

Standard for Instrument Cockpit Check/EOR/Pre-Takeoff Procedures

Verify NAVIADs check in the EOR. Perform Overspeed Governor Check at a complete stop. The pilot flying the takeoff verbalizes minimum torque for takeoff and gust-factor corrected rotate speed.

Standard for Takeoff

Static on dollar ride, rolling for all other single ship sorties

Standard for Departure Radios

Maintain UHF Channel 4 until 1 NM past the departure end of the runway.

Standard for Departure Airspeeds

Climb: 160 KIAS

Cruise: IAW departure/recovery procedure

Standard for G-Exercise

A valid GX maintains between 4-5 Gs for 4 to 5 breathing cycles. An invalid GX will be reaccomplished.

Standard for Power-On Stalls

PF will brief intended high vs low pitch range, turning vs straight bank angle, and high vs low torque setting prior to execution.

Standard for Traffic Pattern Stalls

PF briefs intended nose-low/overshooting or nose-high/undershooting prior to simulating the perch

Standard for Spins/OCF

PF briefs entry direction and number of spins. PF verbalizes altitude after neutralizing the controls, and states the oil pressure before advancing the PCL

Standard for Contact Recoveries

If the PNF calls "Recover" during an aerobatic maneuver, the PF will immediately perform the appropriate contact recovery.
