Q

What are the various Safe Ejection Altitudes?

A

Uncontrolled Ejection Altitude (5000ft AGL). Aircrew should eject no
lower than the uncontrolled ejection altitude when it is assessed that aircrew
does not have positive control of the aircraft’s performance, and is unable to
recover to a straight and level attitude prior to ejection (0 to positive VSI).
a. Examples. Unusual attitude and spin.

Controlled Ejection Altitude (2000ft AGL). Aircrew should eject no lower
than the controlled ejection altitude when it is assessed that aircraft is able to
recover to a straight and level attitude prior to ejection (0 to positive VSI).
a. Examples. Landing gear malfunction.

Minimum Safe Ejection Altitude (400ft AGL). Aircrew should not delay
ejection decision below the controlled ejection alttiude, unless aircraft is
assessed to be within groove for a safe recovery via a flameout approach to a
suitable runway, or when engine shows signs of positive relight (sufficient
thrust for dive recovery above Minimum Safe Ejection Altitude). If a safe
landing cannot be achieved from the approach, aircrew should eject no lower
than the minimum safe ejection altitude.

Q

What does it mean when the marshaller shows you a ‘T’ signal?

A

Prior to taxiing into the weather shed, the marshaller will stop the aircraft. He/she will maintain the hold signal and visually check the pins. Once checked, the aircraft will be marshalled into the weather shed. If pins are not in their required positions, a “T” signal will be used to inform the aircrew to check and ensure that the ejection seat pin is inserted into the ejection seat before continuing with the taxi into the weather shed.

24
Q

Nose High Attitude recovery where airspeed is decreasing rapidly

A
  1. Nose High (less than 30º above the horizon)
    i. Simultaneously apply full power and ensure Airbrake IN.
    ii. ‘Roll wings level to the nearest horizon.
    iii. Gently lower the nose attitude to the straight and level (S & L) attitude.
  2. Nose High (30º and more above the horizon)
    i. Simultaneously apply full power and ensure Airbrake IN.
    ii. For VMC, roll up to 180ºAOB and fly aircraft to nearest horizon. For IMC (i.e. IF, Night) roll up to 90ºAOB and allow the aircraft nose to fall to the horizon
    ii. As the nose reaches the horizon, check the airspeed.
    a) ≥ 100 KIAS: Roll wings level to the S & L attitude.
    b) < 100 KIAS: Fly the nose to slightly below horizon, roll
    wings level when speed accelerates ≥ 100 KIAS.
  3. Nose High (uncontrollable) – If the aircraft fails to respond or loss of control is experienced, then recover the aircraft as follows:
    i. Select throttle to idle.
    ii. Centralise all controls and hold firmly, visually check all controls are centralised, especially the rudder.
    iii. When aircraft has stabilised in the nose low attitude, with airspeed of 100 KIAS minimum, carry out a nose low attitude recovery to straight and level attitude.
25
Q

Nose low attitude recoveries

A
  1. IAS below 220 KIAS
    i. Check height (ensure sufficient to recover from the UA).
    ii. Roll wings level (to the nearest horizon).
    iii. Pitch up (min of 4G or light buffet) to recover to S & L
    attitude. (In IMC, aircrew are to conduct an Emergency Pull Up (EPU) if below MSA).
  2. IAS likely to exceed 220 KIAS, or exceeded 220 KIAS
    i. Check height (ensure sufficient to recover from the UA).
    ii. Simultaneously Roll wings level to the nearest horizon, select throttle idle and Airbrake OUT.
    iii. Pitch up (min of 4G or light buffet) to recover to S &L attitude. (In IMC, aircrew are to conduct an Emergency Pull Up (EPU) if below MSA).
    iv. Retract Airbrake.

(Note: If altitude is a factor, apply ‘G’ as required to recover the aircraft safely. If
nose low attitude is less than 90º AOB, you can pitch and roll simultaneously.)

the approach or to eject must be made by 400ft AGL.

36
Q

What is slow lane operations?

A

a. The aircrew will carry out the deceleration checks after landing on the runway. When the aircraft is under control and below 50 KIAS, the aircrew will taxy the aircraft slowly to the half of the runway adjacent to the turn-off exit. The aircraft should not be at less than one quarter of the runway width from the edge of the runway.
b. When landing on runway 18L/36R, the aircrew will continue taxying the aircraft until the yellow turn-off exit line on the runway is reached. The aircrew will then follow the yellow line to turn off the runway safely (refer to next page).
c. Slow lane operations will not be carried out during night flying.

37
Q

What are the procedures for ejection seat pin recovery?

A

a. If the ejection seat pin is dropped and unable to retrieve, inform the SXO and proceed abeam weather shed B:
i. Shutdown engine and remain strapped in with mask on, visor down and canopy closed whilst awaiting salvage crew to provide a spare seat pin to “safe” the seat.
ii. Once the salvage crew arrives, open canopy to receive spare seat pin and insert it in.
iii. Exit the cockpit as per normal.

b. If unable to insert the seat pin back into the ejection seat, inform the SXO and proceed abeam weather shed B.
i. Shutdown the engine and remain strapped in with mask on, visor down and canopy closed.
ii. Salvage crew will report to the aircraft immediately with a head set for connection to the LH wing station and advice the aircrew on how to insert the seat pin. This usually requires the firing handle to be straightened vertically.
iii. Once the seat pin is inserted, the aircrew will exit the cockpit as per normal.

38

c. Glide 130 130

43
Q

What is the final approach speed during gusty wind conditions?

A

half of the gust factor is to be added to the final approach speed for powered approaches

44
Q

What happens if the speed on finals fluctuates below the wind adjusted approach speed but maintains over the final approach speed under the mandatory-go around criteria?

A

the aircrew can continue the approach provided the speed is increased to the wind adjusted approach speed.

45
Q

What are the mandatory go-around criteria?

A
  1. Not in sight with the aircraft ahead at base turn or when given a
    sequence.
  2. More than 45° AOB (Trainees) / 60° AOB (Instructors)
    required on base turn.
  3. When the stall warning tone is heard, or when the speed on
    finals (for powered approaches only) deviates beyond -5 to +20 KIAS
    of the final approach speed, whichever occurs first. For non-powered
    approaches (PFL/Glide), the minimum speed of 120KIAS on finals
    must be adhered to.
    Note: The term ‘Finals’ is defined as follows.
    i. Circuit: The criteria will apply once aircraft is rolled out on
    finals.
    ii. Straight in and instrument approaches: The criteria will apply
    when the aircraft is below 300ft AGL.
    iii. The commencement of flare is the point which the airspeed
    of the aircraft can decrease below the final approach speed.
    Note: In gusty wind condition, the allowable speed deviation on finals apply
    to the final approach speed and not the wind adjusted approach speed.
  4. Not lined up by 200ft AGL on Finals.
  5. With no clearance for landing or touch-and-go, descend not
    below 200ft AGL.
  6. Not touched down by 4000ft to go.
