11-2T-6V3 T-6 Operating Procedures Flashcards
Taxi spacing restrictions (3.2)
Minimum 75 taxiing staggered
150 feet in trail
300 feet in ice or snow
Spacing may be reduced when holding short of or entering runway
Use of helmet visor, G-suit, and gloves (3.1.4-6)
- Visor will be down any time the canopy is closed in accordance with -1
- Aircrews will wear a clear visor at night and is optional during low visibility
- Flight gloves will be worn from engine start to engine shutdown.
- Aircrews will don G-suits when anticipating 2 or more Gs during any portion of a sortie.
FOD prevention (3.1.7)
Reduction of risk of FOD during ground ops:
1. Not approach or allow others to approach operating engine
2. Avoid using excessive power
3. Avoid prop or jet blast from other aircraft
4. Ensure loose items are secure in the cockpit before opening the canopy
5. Not place objects on the canopy transparency in order to reduce the potential for damaging or scratching the canopy
Joker fuel, bingo fuel, normal recovery fuel (3.3.1.1-3)
Define Joker Fuel
Joker fuel is a pre-briefed quantity above bingo at which separation, bug out, or event termination should begin and proceed with the remainder of the mission.
Joker fuel, bingo fuel, normal recovery fuel (3.3.1.1-3)
Define Bingo Fuel
Bingo fuel is a pre-briefed quantity that allows the aircraft to return to the base of intended landing or alternate (if required) using preplanned recovery parameters and arriving with normal recovery fuel
Joker fuel, bingo fuel, normal recovery fuel 3.3.1.1-3
Define Normal Recovery Fuel
Normal recovery fuel is the fuel on initial or FAF at the base of intended landing or alternate (if required). This is the higher of what is established locally or 200 pounds
When to declare min/emer fuel (3.3.1.4)
When?
Declare min/emergency fuel to the controlling agency when it becomes apparent the fuel remaining at final touchdown will be less than the requirements stated in 3.3.1.4.1-2
Minimum fuel - 150 pounds (200 solo)
Emergency fuel - 100 pounds
Use of LDG flaps (3.3.6.2)
When should you use LDG flaps?
LDG flap setting should be used for full-stop landings when the heavy weight flaps up landing distance is 80% of the actual field length or greater
Use of LDG flaps (3.3.6.2)
When are LDG flaps discouraged?
LDG flaps are discouraged when crosswinds (steady state or gusts) exceed 10 knots
Low approach and restricted low approach (3.3.7)
Aircrew will not allow the aircraft to touch down when cleared low approach.
Aircrew will not descend below 500 feet AGL or ATC assigned altitude when cleared restricted low approach.
Min runway length normal and emergency (3.3.2.1, 3)
4,000 feet minimum length or heavy weight flaps UP landing distance plus 500 feet, whichever is greater for normal operations (takeoff, landing, touch and go)
75 feet wide
Emergency situations, pilots should consider all factors (winds, runway condition and environment, aircraft energy state, emergency response availability) that could affect ability to recover safely to an airfield less than the above requirements
Wx requirements for maneuvering in a MOA while on IFR flight plan?
- Clear of clouds
- 2 miles vis
- Discernable horizon
Wx clearance during OCF (3.4.2.1.1-2)
Minimum 7,000 feet of airspace, clear of clouds, below entry altitude
Minimum altitudes (3.4.4)
Aerobatics, unusual attitudes, abnormal flight recoveries, lost wingman, extended trail, stalls, and slow flight?
6000 feet AGL
Minimum altitudes (3.4.4)
Do not begin OCF training below feet MSL?
13,500 feet MSL
Minimum altitudes (3.4.4)
Except while in the traffic pattern or during departure/recovery, minimum enroute and area altitude for a solo student is feet AGL?
5,000 feet AGL
Minimum altitudes (3.4.4)
Min altitude for VFR non-local point-to-point navigation missions is feet AGL?
3,000 feet AGL
Minimum altitudes 3(.4.4)
Minimum altitude to complete configured aircraft slips for training is feet AGL
300 feet AGL
Dual only maneuvers (3.4.5)
Rolling t/o
Stalls
Slow flight
Stability demonstration
Contact recoveries
Intentional spin entry
Simulated emergency procedures (ELP, no flap)
Straight-in approaches
Low-closed patterns
Uncontrolled airfield operations
GPS
WX for non-precision approaches (3.6.6.1.2)
Due to KLN-900 limitations, only accomplish RNP APCH (RNAV) procedures or any RNAV sections of conventional approach in day VMC
GPS
Database currency (3.6.6.2)
Will not use GPS as primary source of IFR navigation with an expired database
GPS
FDE for GPS use (3.6.6.2)
- Check Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) before using GPS as a primary source of IFR navigation
- Loss of FDE constitutes unacceptable degradation of system performance
- Per 11-202v3, ensure FDE indicates YES before using GPS as primary source of IFR navigation within NAS
GPS
RNAV SID/STAR (3.6.6.6.3)
Aircrews will NOT fly SIDs, STARs, DPs, with RNAV in the title.
Uncontrolled Airfield Operations
Max aircraft in patter (3.10.5.2)
Aircrews will not operate within an uncontrolled airfield pattern with more than four aircraft (total), military and/or civilian, present in the pattern at any time
