T-6 Trans Check GK (incomplete) Flashcards
When reviewing the 781 Forms at the aircraft, what are the three different red symbols and what do they mean?
Red Dash: Overdue inspection, may or may not warrant grounding based on severity. Has to be Exceptionally Released (P. 5)

Red X: Grounding, unsafe or unserviceable until corrected (P. 4)
Regarding the 781 Forms, what is an exceptional release?

Reasons to abort an engine start
(1T6-A-1 3-3)
-Hot Start
-Hung Start
-No Start
-Bat Bus Annunciator light illuminates during start
-ST Ready Light goes out or PCL is moved out of position
How do identify a hot start?
“ITT rate of increase appears likely to exceed 1000 C”
“ITT appears likely to remain between 871-1000 C for >5 seconds”
How do you identify a hung start?
“Normal N1 increase is halted”
How do you identify a no start?
“No rise of ITT is evident within 10 seconds after fuel flow indications”

If in the Break and the RSU calls “IN THE BREAK, ROLL OUT”, what do you do?

Re-intercept initial groundtrack
When will you not break?

When can you not pull closed?
-Conflict on inside downwind
-A straight-in between 5 and 2 miles
-An aircraft between “REPORT HIGH KEY” and the position of Low Key
-An aircraft orbiting at High Key
-An aircraft between initial and the break
