True…
Is it procedure to declare an IFE for ANY suspected physiological incident? What kind of approach to landing should normally be flown for a physiological event? When can you fly again?
Yes. Declare an IFE.
RTB from a straight-in approach.
You are DNIF until cleared by the flight surgeon.
Ops sup will direct aircrews to stop stepping approximately ___ minutes priot to Center runway closing for a runway change.
10
Runway change: after tower closes center runway ops on guard, what can aircraft on vectors to center expect?
Restricted low approach to center runway followed by Tinder’s pattern
Runway change: when Tinder informs aircrew to expect runway closure in 10 minutes, what are the restrictions for who should make a full stop?
Less than 1400 lbs of gas
Solo students
Runway change: what will happen approximately 10 minutes after closure of center runway is initially announced?
Center runway opens in the other direction
RSU pattern direction changes
Runway change: what will aircraft established in the initial direction of Tinder’s pattern do when directed for the pattern direction change?
Turn crosswind
Breakout
Contact arrival (CH7) for vectors to new radar entry point (B or C, but A)
Runway change: aircrews vectored to the new radar drop-off (B/C) will contact which agency? What will aircrews do when established in the pattern?
Tower
Carry straight through initial with Tower
Runway change: what will aircrews established in the pattern in the new direction of flow do if needing to break and full stop on the center runway?
Add “full stop” to the 3 and 7 mile initial calls
Runway change: how much will it take, approximately, from initial closure of the center runway, to reopening of both runways in the new direction of flow?
25 minutes
Runway change: what will be different with a Restricted pattern status for aircraft in Tinder’s pattern? For aircraft on RTB during RSU pattern direction change?
ALL aircraft in the pattern will full stop after the center runway closes.
Aircraft on RTB should expect a straight-in full stop to the center runway.
Runway change: which runway will be reconfigured first during an instrument status?
The ILS runway
For shortterm (emergency) runway closures, what may SOF declare?
Pattern or Touchdown fuel as appropriate
Where can you find information about SPS operations during a long term runway closure?
11-2T38v3 80 OG Sup - Abnormal Procedures
Sheppard RAPCON Radar Out: Can you fly practice instrument approaches?
No
Sheppard RAPCON Radar Out: who should you cancel IFR with in VMC conditions?
Cancel with FWC and request traffic advisories enroute to the appropriate VFR pattern entry point
Sheppard RAPCON Radar Out: what can you expect in IMC?
Follow RAPCON instructions, expect to arc to an approach for the active runway
In a Lost Comm scenario, the pilot is expected to comply with the basic procedures outlined in the ___. In the absence of a clearance, local aircraft have a clearance limit fix of ____.
FIH
Sheppard AFB
Basic gameplan if lost of disoriented in the traffic pattern.
Maintain aircraft control, begin a breakout (4000’, heading 240), notify Tinder
What are the requirements for not declaring an IFE, but declaring an early return in case of an over-G? (2 things)
- Chase ship available
2. Over-G is less than one

11-2T38v3 - 80 OG Sup - Abnormal Procedures
VHF Ch. 5
Normally land on Runway ____ with an emergency.
What is the exception to this?

What to do in case of an underun landing?
Full stop ASAP
Leave the gear extended during a go-around
Should you taxi clear of the runway in case of a blown tire?
No.
What should you do anytime the brakes are applied above 100 knots during a heavy gross weight abort?
Taxi to a designated hot brakes area and notify the SOF
If diverting from Sheppard AFB and using the unrestricted climb schedule, what should you do?
- Declare an IFE
- Squawk 7700
- Try to coordinate clearance with Shep. Departure or the controlling agency
