During a dual seat F-16 ejection when the ejection mode valve is set in NORMAL mode and the forward seat ejection handle is pulled, what explosive component fires the forward seat rocket catapult?
An M53 initiator
During a dual seat F-16 ejection when the ejection mode selector valve is set in AFT mode and the aft seat ejection handle is pulled, what explosive component is specifically designed to provide an auto sequence to eject the forward seat?
An M53 initiator
What tool should you always use to remove the safety wire from a DTA?
Diagonal cutting pliers
If DTA line threads are not coated with a light coat of solid film lube, how do you lube them?
Slide the nut back from the tip and apply a thin film of grease to the but threads with a cotton swab
To how many pounds should you torque DTA lines?
50-70
How do you check DTA max tip length with the DTA ECRL inspection gage set?
Position the -25 inspection gage on the upper surface of the inspection gage containing the DTA
For how many minutes can you electrically power an F-16 without cooking air?
30
What F-16 canopy jettison explosive component releases the canopy from the canopy actuator?
Canopy Actuator Release Bolt
How long are the lanyards attached to the F-16 external canopy jettison initiator handles?
6 feet
During dual seat F-16 canopy jettison during seat ejection, what fires the DTA initiators?
Hot gas fired from the M53 initiators through the sequence valves
You should cease F-16 canopy maintenance when wind speeds exceed how many knots?
20
When performing a dual seat F-16 canopy removal per the TO, how should you fully open the canopy prior to installing the two canopy maintenance supports?
With the external switch
What should you check for during F-16 canopy removal?
That the upper and lower roller bearings have freedom of rotation
When you install the tension tubes in a dual seat F-16 during canopy installation, what pattern should they form with the canopy in a full up position?
A “V” pattern with the lower point pointing forward and the upper connection pointing aft
When installing a dual seat F-16 canopy, at what angle do you stop lowering the canopy before you install the keeper?
When the canopy angle with the longeron is approximately 27 degrees, measured with a protractor
After installing a dual seat F-16 canopy, when performing the canopy warning light ops checkout, what action should cause the CANOPY warning light to come on?
Rotating the canopy lock handle to the unlocked position
When rigging a dual seat F-16 canopy, what should the hook throat gap measure at all 10 hooks?
.03-.15 inch
When troubleshooting an F-16 with the Fault Isolation manual, what section in chapter 2 would you find the fault isolation tree?
Section IV, Fault Isolation Information
When troubleshooting an F-16 canopy system, if the canopy warning light stays on with the canopy down and the canopy lock handle verified down, but manually pressing the unlock warning switch and both hook warning switches simultaneously causes the light to go out, what is the first step you should take to correct the problem?
Rig the switches
