3.10 Danger Areas
NA
What is the Db at the at the APU intake/exhaust (15 foot radius)?
85 dBA
What is the Db at the fueling panel on the starboard wing?
75 dBA
What is the Db level at the aft door on the P-8A?
75 dBA
What is the Db level at the 65 feet perimeter of the centerline of the P-8A?
80 dBA max
What is the Db level at both port and starboard doors near the front of the aircraft?
70 dBA
What is the engine inlet hazard areas at idle/above idle power, forward thrust?
Everything from the wing tips aft 45 degrees off the aft of each engine 4 ft back from the front of the engine and 10 ft semicircle from centerline of the engine
Warning regarding inlet hazard in stronger winds
If the wind is over 25 knots, increase the inlet hazard by 20 percent.
Caution regarding exhaust heat/velocity
Exhaust heat/velocity is very high for long distances behind the engine, which can cause damage to equipment.
Note regarding when anti-collision lights are on
Shall be on while the engines are operating
Warning regarding HF transmissions
Failure to ensure all external doors and windows are closed, external headsets are unplugged and individuals are at least 17 feet away from the aircraft prior to HF radio transmissions may result in injury to personnel.
Warning regarding radio transmissions during fueling
Any radio transmissions during fueling operations may result in arcing and cause an explosion.
Note regarding HF transmissions prior to engine starts
If HF radio transmissions are required prior to engine starts an outside observer should be posted to ensure proper standoffs are maintained.
Minimum safe distances HERP HERF HERO
3-27
What does HERO susceptible ordnance mean?
If employed in an RF environment, system may malfunction Any ordnance containing Electronic Explosive Devices (EED) proven (by test or analysis) to be adversely affected by RF energy to the point that the safety and/or reliability of the system is in jeopardy when the system is employed in expected RF environments.
What does HERO unsafe ordnance mean?
Internal wiring exposed to RF energy may result in accidental detonation When internal wiring is physically exposed on any ordnance item, including those having a classification of HERO SAFE or HERO SUSCEPTIBLE ORDNANCE, to an RF environment that may cause accidental initiation or detonation, the item is defined as HERO UNSAFE ORDNANCE; when tests are being conducted on the item that result in additional electrical connections to the item; when EEDs having exposed wire leads are present, handled, or loaded in any but the tested condition; when the item is being assembled or disassembled; or when such ordnance items are damaged, causing exposure of internal wiring or components or destroying engineered HERO protective devices.
Note regarding minimum width of pavement for 180 degree turn
79 feet
What is the wingtip radius from the inboard tire?
75 ft
Caution regarding minimum turn distance from the nose or wingtip of the AC
Do not attempt to make a turn away from an obstacle within 15 feet of the wingtip or within 24 feet of the nose
What is the minimum personnel that SHOULD accompany the aircraft during all towing operations?
A minimum of six personnel should accompany the aircraft during all towing operations
Name all six of the required positions for towing operations
Aircraft director Brake rider Two wing walkers Tractor operator Tail walker (Walkers SHOULD carry an aural alerting device)
Which towing operations personnel are required to be qualified?
Aircraft director Brake rider
Where is the aircraft director positioned?
Near the towing vehicle Within eyesight of the brake rider at all times
Where is the brakerider positioned?
In the flight deck
Where are the wing walkers positioned?
Immediately forward or aft of each wingtip
Note regarding when the requirement for six people during towing operations may be waived
Well clear of obstacles Established on centerline (taxiway or runway) Minimum crew is aircraft director, breakrider, and tractor operator The requirement for six people during towing operations may be waived once the aircraft is well clear of obstructions and established on the centerline of a designated taxiway or runway. Once established, a qualified brakerider, taxi director, and tractor driver may proceed with the aircraft under tow. Local conditions may exist that would make wingwalkers advisable, in which case the six-person requirement would remain in effect at the discretion of the Commanding Officer.
When towing the airplane at angles greater than ___, disconnect the nosegear torsion link to prevent damage to the hydraulic steering system.
78 degrees
When towing the airplane at angles greater than 78°, disconnect the _______ ________ _______ to prevent damage to the hydraulic steering system.
Nosegear torsion link
If an angle in excess of __ is required, disconnect the nosegear taxi light wire, if installed.
90 degrees
If an angle in excess of 90° is required, disconnect the ______ _____ _____ _____ , if installed.
Nose gear taxi light wire
