No
After a stop which required maximum braking and if overheated brakes are expected, what should you do?
Go to the hot brakes area.
Do not set the parking brake
If a raised barrier is already in place and your current speed indicates you cannot stop short of it, what should you do?
Steer around it to include departing the prepared surface if necessary
or
Eject if necessary
If you blow a tire on T/O and the decision is made to continue, what actions should be taken?
Do not change the position of the gear and flaps
Execute a straight in
Land on the side of the runway corresponding to the good tire
If hot brakes are suspected, what action should you take?
Inform Ground Control and taxi to a designated hot brake area and park aircraft facing upwind
Where are the designated hot brake areas at Columbus?
North and South Hammerheads (Center) and Taxiway Juliet (most important that they know where to find it (front of the IFG))
Who is responsible for ensuring that all checklists are completed?
Pilot Flying
Checklist items marked “BOTH” are not complete until?
They are known as what?
Proper response is received from the PNF
“Challenge and Response”
What are mission objectives and where do they usually come from?
Big picture items that must be accomplished for a successful mission, can be found in the syllabus
What are training objectives?
Realistic, achievable, and measurable goals for the sortie used to help determine the success of the mission
What is joker fuel?
Preplanned transition point (or points) in the sortie
What is bingo fuel?
Fuel required to initiate recovery to arrive at intended destination with the required fuel.
If there is intercom failure, how does the PF signal the desire to relinquish control of the aircraft?
Smoothly pushing the rudder pedals back and forth
Who is responsible for clearing in the T-6?
Both crewmembers
What tools are available for clearing?
Eyes, radios, and NACWS/TAS
Well clear of another aircraft is defined as?
500 feet minimum separation
What are some choke points in the pattern?
90º to initial, VFR entry, closed downwind, high-to-low key, and the perch point
Besides visually acquiring other aircraft, what method provides the best means of clearing in the local pattern?
Proper radio calls
A G-awareness exercise, or G-x, should be accomplished on sorties that include maneuvers that require or may result in _______.
3 or more Gs
Who is responsible for radio calls?
PF
Except where local procedures are in place, what is the standard formal for radio calls?

What power setting is used to hold approximately 200 KIAS level flight?
50% + ALT
What approximate power setting will hold 150 KIAS level flight?
32%
What order should be used to effectively trim the T-6?
Rudder, elevator, and aileron
What is a composite cross check?
Using outside references, complemented by flight instruments, to establish and maintain desired flight attitudes
What steps and what order should be used to for a proper composite cross check?
Establish and maintain an attitude using the horizon
Trim the aircraft to reduce or eliminate control pressure
Back-up maintenance of attitude with flight instruments
In clear flight conditions, a good composite cross check consists of about what percentage using outside references?
80%
To hold straight and level unaccelerated attitude at 200 KIAS, what approximate pitch picture works?
Half-ground/half-sky with wings equidistant from the horizon
A properly trimmed aircraft is trimmed for a specific what?
Airspeed
If the aircraft is properly trimmed at 200 KIAS and you pull power, the nose will do what?
Pitch down to stay at 200 KIAS
What’s a good technique for maintaining level flight in a turn?
Dragging the NACWS or TAS antenna across the horizon.
To correct nose-low (or nose-high) attitude in a steep turn (>30º bank), you should do what?
Reduce or increase AOB and adjust back-stick pressure to raise or lower the nose to the desired pitch
