L - Landing Weight / Lights (taxi light)
R - RADAR (silence) / RADALT / Recorders

Question 12

Checklists - FTR-D

Answer 12

After trap to cat
F - Flaps (full)
T - Trim (7° NU) / Tacan
R - RADALT (40’)
D - Displays

Takeoff checks done bottom to top.

Question 13

BOLTER BOLTER BOLTER

Answer 13

Gear up, flaps half, report airborne. 150kts, level at 1200 ft, reset RADALT.

Question 14

Push timing

Answer 14

Use GS to estimate: 240GS = 4NM, 300GS = 5NM per minute. If EAT = 22, holding at 20NM, subtract 1 minute per 4/5NM from holding point.

IE (at 300gs):
20 DME = 22EAT
25 DME = time 21
30 DME = time 20

Standard rate turn (2 min per 180°) for outbound estimate.
