Q

Dual Crosswind

A

Formations use 8-second
spacing in the break to ensure 6,000’ landing spacing. Flights may perform formation
takeoffs and landings based on actual crosswinds within limits. The phrase “crosswind
procedures in effect” will be added to any restrictive status listed below

Q

Restricted Pattern

A

Minimum ceiling 2,300’ (to 3,500’) and minimum visibility
of 3 miles. Pattern entries are from initial takeoff or following a straight-in approach (not
from initial). Maximum number of aircraft in Tinder’s pattern is eight. Because weather
does not permit standard breakout procedures, Tinder directs appropriate actions to eliminate conflicts in conjunction with sound pilot judgment.

Q

Instrument and Simultaneous Instruments Status

A

The 88 FTS and T-38 UPT
Ops Sups will ensure no more than 14 aircraft are launched per hour (including out-base
returns to Sheppard). Aircraft not returning to Sheppard may be launched in excess of the 14 aircraft since they will not affect recovery congestion. To minimize recovery sequencing,
formations should plan 2-ship approaches. Fly one approach to a full-stop landing during
any instrument status, unless SOF approves multiple approaches.

Before leaving the chocks, contact Ground Control
and request taxi. Normally, Ground will automatically taxi T-38s to Runway 15C/33C.
If Runway 15R/33L is required, request it when calling for taxi. If the VFR pattern is empty or not in operation, Ground may taxi aircraft to Runway 15R/33L.

When a pattern fuel is established, arrive in the RADAR or VFR pattern with the specified fuel state. Once established in the pattern, training may continue to normal recovery fuel unless directed otherwise.

27
Q

Touchdown Fuels

A

Touchdown fuels are calculated using the emergency divert profile to arrive at the alternate with normal recovery fuel.
Touchdown fuels may be higher than normal due to climb restrictions enroute

A

-“Center closed approved”; pull closed into Tinder’s pattern
-“Center turn crosswind”; turn crosswind into Tinder’s pattern
-“Center maintain runway heading”; maintain runway heading climbing
to 2,800’ MSL until approved to enter Tinder’s pattern. If not cleared into Tinder’s
pattern, perform either a VFR breakout or an IFR pick up with arrival.
-“Center breakout”; perform a VFR breakout

36
Q

If no response is heard from Tinder from center

A

fly runway heading and attempt to
contact Tinder until 5 miles past the runway, climb to 4,000’. If no contact with
Tinder, contact Sheppard Arrival for radar service to Point A, B/C, or a straight-in to
the center runway.

37
Q

break zone

A

1st 3,000’ of RWY

38
Q

Closed on 15 reference

A

cross

the extended runway centerline of Runway 17 at or above 2,300’

39
Q

When can you not request closed

A

straight-in between 9 and 4 miles or with an aircraft between “3-mile
initial/initial” and the break.

40
Q

Runway 17 VFR and IFR Departures

A
  • Tinder will announce departure
  • closed request with a “Tally Ho” or “No Joy”
  • Tally = 500’ separation
  • No Joy = RWY hdg till 2300, expeditious climb to 2800 and call traffic when in sight
41
Q

Inside Downwind A/S

A

220 Knots

42
Q

When should you not perch

A

With a straight-in inside 4 miles, do not
begin the final turn unless the straight-in is in sight and a normal final turn can be flown
behind the straight-in

43
Q

Offset/ Go-around

A

-Climb as required, no higher than 2,300
-offset west btwn RWY/ Taxi Delta
-add offset to radio calls
-Do not sacrifice aircraft control or stall the aircraft in
an attempt to avoid a touchdown

44
Q

Restricted Low Approach

A

Do not descend lower than 500’ AGL (1,500’)
during a restricted low approach. Comply with the go-around and offset procedures. If
below 500’ AGL when directed for a restricted low approach, attempt to comply prior to
crossing the threshold.

45
Q

High pattern

A

The 4,500’ MSL high pattern is used for solo pattern only
missions to decrease fuel prior to touch-and-go practice and for handling aircraft
malfunctions

46
Q

Requesting Closed

A

approximately 2/3
down the runway. For Runway 15R, reference Taxiway F, and for Runway 33L,
reference the southern edge of the ENJJPT ramp.

47
Q

Pattern Only for solo

A

Solo UPT students enter the high pattern after takeoff and normally remain there
until able to fly the first overhead pattern with fewer than 2,500 pounds

48
Q

B/O from Point A to Outside Downwind

A

Aircraft established on outside downwind have priority over aircraft entering
from Point A. If directed by Tinder “Point Alpha, Breakout,” climb to/maintain 4,000’
and turn to the left for 15R and to the right for 33L.

49
Q

B/O from 45-to-Initial

A

7-mile initial entries have priority over aircraft established in
the pattern. Aircraft from 7-mile initial normally give way to aircraft declaring minimum
fuel on 45-to-initial.

50
Q

B/O from Perch Point

A

Unless directed, do not extend the perch for spacing on a
preceding aircraft. In this case, break out or perch normally (anticipating a go-around).
Once established in the final turn, use go-around and offset procedures instead of
breaking out.

51
Q

B/O from Departure End

A

When Tinder directs a breakout at the departure end,
climb runway heading to 4,000’. Upon reaching 4,000’ proceed to a VFR entry point.
After a radar approach to 15R/33L and unable to contact Tinder, continue attempting
contact until 5 miles past the departure end, climb to 4,000’ and contact Sheppard Arrival
for radar service to a VFR entry point.

52
Q

B/O from Point B/C

A

Perform a climbing turn to 4,000’ towards the active VFR

pattern and contact arrival for sequencing back to Point B/C.

53
Q

B/O from Straight In

A

Continue along the normal ground track. Clear vigilantly for
initial traffic while climbing to 2,800’, then perform a climbing turn to 4,000’ towards the
west and contact arrival for sequencing to a VFR entry point.

54
Q

Transient Aircraft

A

Tinder advises aircraft in the overhead pattern of
approaching transient aircraft. Do not cross the runway threshold until the preceding
transient clears the runway. With a transient between 4 miles and the approach end of the
runway, do not begin the final turn. Aircraft may begin the final turn provided the transient
aircraft is an AETC-assigned T-38, alternating sides of the runway are used, and 3,000 feet of
spacing exists when crossing the threshold. Offset to the west if instructed to go around for a
transient.

55
Q

Falls Weather mins

A

Minimum ceiling 2,300’ and minimum visibility 3 miles,

Restricted Pattern status.

56
Q

Unable to Cancel on Falls

A

Sheppard Arrival normally vectors aircraft no closer
than 8 DME. If unable to cancel, Arrival will discontinue the approach. Expect a
runway-heading climb to 5,000’ followed by vectors for an instrument approach or
departure to the areas

57
Q

descend VFR from the last assigned

altitude to be at 2,300’ no later than

A

9 DME

58
Q

Airspeed for Falls

A

maintain 300 KTS
on downwind, 250 KTS on base and slow to configure after rolling out on final. If
vectored to a long final, maintain 250 KTS until 9 DME then slow to configure

59
Q

When directed to execute “Local Climbout,” fly runway

heading, maintain at or below ____ past DER

A

2300’

60

top portion of any maneuver below 18,000’ AGL

62
Q

Westover and Hollis MOA Recovery altitude

A
