Standards Flashcards
Deputy FL annotation
**
Breather
IP in RCP of a student/trainee /ac who is cleared to solo, but flying for weather or syllabus requirements
Required briefing items
filled-out lineup card, RM, and be prepared to brief weather, NOTAMs, AHAs, TFRs, FCIFs/PRF, current status, and EP of the Day.
Briefing Times
in place 5 mins prior
Sims +45
90/469 1+15 (1+20 2/4 ship, LL)
88 FTS 1+35
Step Time
35 min prior to takeoff
Duty Desk Call signs
90/469 - Ragtop (Prime/AUX)
88 - Lucky Devil Ops (Prime)
No flight plan on file
If clearance delivery report no flight plan on file, pilots may call transmit “Ragtop, C/S badger” to request ragtop resubmits flight plan to base ops.
Intra flight coms on Aux only utilize
position number
Formation Discrete Frequency
duty desk assigns discrete Aux frequency. This also determines A/A TACAN. Lead uses discrete Freq and wingmen use +63.
Frequency Changes
All changes assumed on prime unless stating aux. Push comms should be used to the max extent possible, unless lead determines a go comm should be used.
Check in response
Wingmen ack check-ins with position number they are flying
Push it up
Wingman always ack push it up calls
ATIS
Sweep attis tells all members to listen to 1 cycle of attis then return back to same frequency or directed frequency.
Lead checks flight in afterwards.
Cleared Attis directs wingman to listen to attis using prime then return to previuos assigned freq. Wingman reports up on aux:
Wingman: C/S up (prime channel) with (attis identifier)
Lead: Go with (attis identifier)
Wingman: (runway) (altimeter) (xx.xx). Add any other important information that impacts recovery
Guard
Wingmen may toggle off guard for one minute using the g button without informing lead. UHF B/U should be set to guard prior to taxi.
Hot mic
solo students will select hit mic for all sorties
Acknowledgment
a directive that can be visually confirmed does not require acknowledgement
pre flight
if only 1 electrical power source is available lead will get air while wing uses external power
t-3 Ground ops
FCP is responsible for 781 review and storage.
RCP is responsible for the walkaround.
Cockpit tasks
Pf is responsible for initiating checklists procedures, avionics, configuration changes, and ensuring the challenge and response items are verbally acknowledged by the PNF
Check in time
Listen to attis and be ready to check in 15 mins prior to takeoff.
Visually monitor lead for initial check-in. If ready early pass thumbs up to lead or call ready on prime if lead is not in sight.
If not ready at check-in time, state time needed and why.
Initial check in is on duty desk frequency.
If lead sends flight to clearance delivery, ack receiving the clearance by position number after lead reads back the clearance.
Lead may combine read back clearance with channel change to ground.
Engine Start
Monitor ground during engine start.
Lead’s direction to ground is clearance to start.
Report any delays to lead.
After engine start, flight members switch back to duty desk frequency.
Spares
coordinate with maintenance for spare aircraft.
Pass all tail number changes to duty desk.
Abort after start
all flight memebers abort as directed by lead and monitor duty desk freq.
The good aircraft will connect external power, if available, or consider a stored heading EGI alignment.
In formation, calling the duty desk with a new tail number indicates the pilot is ready to start.
Ready to taxi
The signal to lead that flight members are ready to taxi is the chocks pulled and the crew chief standing in front of the aircraft.
Lead will check the flight in on Aux and ground.
Bullseye (b/E)/Alpha Check
lead will initiate a B/E check from the designated B/E or alpha check from designated point/NAVAID prior to takeoff.
In 2 ship, 2 will respond with same if within 1 nm and 3*.
If outside those criteria, wing will respond with bearing and range.
In 3 or 4 ship, only 3 responds, unless 2 or 4 are not within those criteria.
Min TOLD to review/confirm and verbalize when dual
MACS, R/S BEO, R/S EF, and SETOS
SS EOR
extend and turn on landing light when ready for takeoff. Pass a thumbs up to any adjacent a/c after checking for proper configuration.
Form EOR
Wingmen will lineup with lead to be on same relative position of the taxi line using the blue dashed line as a guide.
Do not wait for entire formation to form in the EOR before initiating flight control checks.
After completing checks for proper configuration of adjacent a/c, turn on position and landing lights in sequence, beginning with furthest aircraft.
Avionics Setup
TCAS
In local traffic pattern TCAS is set to TA and audio to active (silent if it is distracting)
