200 KCAS, 7,000’-10,000’ below, MIL power
(Technique, squidward, 230 KCAS, pull up to 10 deg NH, then roll inverted)
1 nm forward, 1 nm behind
When should you rotate on takeoff and to what pitch attitude?
145 KCAS
7 deg NH
When does the nosewheel liftoff? When should the aircraft fly off the runway?
155 KCAS
165 KCAS
During an over-the-top maneuver approximately how much energy will be lost?
500’ altitude
What two things should you check when going to MAX on a static TO?
AB operation and EGT stabilizes within limits
When should you slow to 240 KCAS during an approach or a pattern?
Base turn or 10-15 miles for straight-in
On the climb out when should you reduce power out of MAX?
Between 220-280 KCAS
On the climb out when should you terminate AB?
300 KCAS
Do not exceed what airspeed below 10,000’?
Do not exceed what airspeed above 10,000’ with a WSSP?
300 KCAS; 400 KCAS
When can you combine the climb check with the level-off check?
When leveling off at any altitude at or below FL180
How do you do a MAX climb?
Climb at 350 KCAS, 20-25 deg NH. Passing 10,000’ accelerate to hold 0.9 Mach indicated
When flying above FL350 fly what airspeed at a minimum?
Mach 0.9
What are the only 3 suitable barriers?
BAK-15, MA-1, and MA-1A
True/False. You can taxi the T-38 single-engine.
False. You can, however, clear an active runway of gear is pinned.
Approximately what AOA is final approach speed?
0.6 AOA
When should you initiate the break?
Between approach end and 3000’ down the runway
45 deg off the preceding aircraft in the break and abeam the aircraft in the break ensure what spacings?
3000’
6000’
How do you execute a closed pull up?
Start it at 240 KCAS and maintain 200 KCAS in the pull up as execute 180 deg turn
What’s a guide for level flight in the break turn?
FPM or pitot boom on horizon
What’s normal no-wind space for a 1500’ pattern?
1-1.3 nm
What is the desired rollout point for the final turn?
1-1.3 nm from threshold, 300-390’ AGL
A T-38 2/3rds of the way through the final turn and abeam ensure what spacings?
3000’
6000’
How should you fly the final turn?
Confirm configuration, 45 deg bank at perch, 0.6 AOA, want VVI to indicate twice AGL (3000 fpm for 1500’ pattern), halfway around, halfway down
When can you consider the final turn made?
Less than 30 deg bank required, within 30 deg of runway alignment , less than 0.6 AOA required
What VVI should you see on final?
700-900 fpm
Where should you put your HUD off aimpoint?
Top of lower glass of HUD
What rpm will maintain on speed indications in a normal glide slope?
Approximately 90%
Where should you put your aimpoint?
100-200’ past the threshold
