What actions should you take if icing is encountered?
Climb or descend out of the icing conditions using the highest practical engine RPM.
What must you do before landing if icing has been encountered?
Check the engine response.
What configuration limits are in place in airframe icing conditions?
Use of full flap in airframe icing conditions is prohibited.
What configuration should you use if icing conditions are present in the approach phase?
Why?
Use 1/2 flap.
Because Full flap is prohibited in airframe icing conditions.
What should you do if you experience a lightning strike?
Limit flight to gentle manoeuvres and land as soon as possible.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for Hawk operations?
+35 degrees C.
What is the maximum dew point temperature at sea level that the ECS can cope with?
+30 degrees C.
Above what dew point may canopy fogging occur?
+17 degrees C.
What options do you have if excessive fogging is expected/ occurs on descent?
Selecting DEMIST/ FLOOD from the ECS.
When is canopy fogging most likely?
On descent following flight at high altitude and low power settings.
May you initiate a manoeuvre when the FUEL or OIL captions are illuminated?
No.
What is the maximum duration of 0 or negative g in any one application?
30 seconds.
Following a period of 0 or negative g, what must you do before another period?
Operate at a minimum of +1g for at least as much time as was spent below +1g.
What is the maximum altitude of the Hawk?
FL420.
What is the aircraft (not training) limit on speed for SCNs 3, 7, 8 and 9?
KCAS and Mach.
575 KCAS
0.9M
What is the maximum ground operating mass?
7000kg
What is the maximum T/O all up mass?
7000kg.
What is the maximum baggage weight?
20kg
What should you do if the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) fails to auto-recover from a surge?
Set throttle as required and minimise AoA and Sideslip.
What is the limit on sustained g when flying at over 25,000ft AMSL?
Why is this in place?
Sustained manoeuvres over 3g for over 5 seconds are prohibited.
This is to prevent the risk of acceleration atelectasis.
What is the maximum normal acceleration for the aircraft when the mass is over 6200kg?
7g
What is the maximum g to be used when recovering from flight above 0.94M?
2.5g
What should you be aware of when decelerating through about 0.94M?
There is an abrupt nose-up trim change.
What is different about the primary approach and landing reference for flapless approaches?
Displayed AoA must not be used as the primary approach and landing reference.
Displayed speed must be used instead.
What limit is placed on rudder movement above 200KCAS?
Above 200KCAS, rudder pedals must be maintained central during rolling manoeuvres.
Is deliberate large sideslip whilst rolling permitted?
No.
What are the limits on lateral stick input at high speeds for non-“rapid rolling” manoeuvres?
Use no more than 1/2 lateral stick input.
Above what altitude is rapid rolling prohibited?
FL350
State the considerations when rapid rolling.
Longitudinal stick position. Sideslip. Buffet. Airbrake. Flap.
Longitudinal stick position must be held as close as possible to the position at entry throughout the manoeuvre.
At completion, sideslip must be minimised before any other manoeuvre commenced.
Aircraft must be clear of buffet before start of any rapid rolling manoeuvre.
Airbrake may be in or out during rapid rolling manoeuvre, but should not be moved during it.
Flaps may be at Up or Combat setting for rapid rolling manoeuvres, but should not be moved during it.
Refer to RTS for limits table.
When are the only occasions you are permitted to fly beyond moderate buffet?
During spin and stall training.
Above M0.8, how many AoA is the hard edged buffet beyond moderate buffet?
About 1AoA.
What stick movements are prohibited when in buffet?
Abrupt fore and aft stick movements.
What kind of aerobatic manoeuvres are prohibited?
Flick or snap manoeuvres.
Stall Turns.
Tail Slides.
What is the maximum altitude permitted for intentional stalling?
FL300.
What limits does visible icing have on stalling practice?
Intentional low speed stalling in all gear/ flap configurations (inc. clean) is prohibited.
What is the maximum number of turns permitted during spin recovery practice?
2 turns.
What SCNs are you permitted to practice spinning in?
SCN 1 and 7.
What is the maximum spin entry altitude?
30,000ft AMSL.
What is the recommended spin entry altitude?
25,000-30,000ft AMSL.
What is the minimum height for initiation of the spin recovery action?
15,000ft AGL.
At what height should you abandon the aircraft if it has not started to recover from a spin?
5000ft AGL.
Are deliberate inverted spins permitted?
No.
How should you position the ailerons at spin entry and throughout the manoeuvre?
Central.
State the situations that necessitate immediate recovery actions from a spin.
IAS appears likely to drop to 100KCAS or below.
IAS appears likely to rise to 200KCAS or above.
Transient side forces feel excessively large.
An engine surge is encountered.
You reach the minimum height to initiate the spin recovery action (15,000ft AGL).
What position should the throttle be in at entry to and throughout the spin?
Idle.
Is intentional spinning in MFC or degraded EEC permitted?
No.
What should you check regarding the engine following spin recovery.
Check for surge free acceleration - i.e. that the RPM leads TGT when the throttle is advanced.
State the maximum speed that the aircraft tyres are allowed to remain in contact with the ground?
180kts.
State the maximum airfield altitude for the tyres.
6000ft AMSL.
What position must the canopy be in when taxiing?
Either:
Fully open and locked
OR
Closed and locked.
What is the windspeed limitation on taxiing with the canopy open?
Taxi speed + wind speed = 40kts maximum.
