Can you use the HUD as the primary reference in IFR Flight?
|
Yes
|
|
What are T-38 control instruments?
|
Attitude indicator, HUD pitch/bank scales, engine tachometers
|
|
What are T-38 performance instruments?
|
HUD/MFD altimeter, airspeed, VV, AOA, HIS
|
|
Control and Performance Flying Procedure
|
Establish, Trim, Cross-check, Adjust
|
|
Low/Moderate Climb/Descent Rate Level Off
|
Being level off at 10% of VVI
|
|
High Climb/Descent Rate Level Off
|
If VVI greater than 6000 fpm, reduce pitch by half at 2000 ft prior, then use 10% of VVI
|
|
Turn Lead Point (for 90 deg turn)
|
Mach - 2 (when greater than 300 kt); 1% of CAS (lower than 300 kt)
|
|
Lead Point Adjustments for other than 90 deg turn
|
60 deg: 1/2 of 90 lead point; 45 deg: 1/2 of 90 lead point; 30 deg: 1/6 of 90 lead point
|
|
60 to 1 Rule
|
60/DME = Radials per Mile
|
|
Finding Arc-Radial Lead Radial
|
Calulate lead point in miles (1% CAS or Mach-2), then convert miles to radials using 60 to 1
|
|
Climb Rate for Vertical S
|
Normally use 1000-2000 fpm and 1000 ft altitude block
|
|
VVI change based on pitch
|
IMN x 1000 = VV change per 1 deg of pitch change (at .6 IMN, 1 deg = 600 fpm VV change)
|
|
Bank Angle for Steep Turns
|
Practice at 45 to 60 deg at various airspeeds
|
|
Instrument Aileron Roll Power/Airspeed
|
300 kt, 85% rpm
|
|
Proceeding Direct to a Fix with EGI
|
Enter point in UFCP, select EGI as PNS, center CDI
|
|
What check should you complete en route to IAF, holding fix, or beginning en route descent?
|
WHOLDS check
|
|
WHOLDS Check
|
Weather, Holding Entry/Heading and Att Systems, Obtain Clearance for Approach/Climbout, Letdown Plate Review/Set NAVAIDs, Descent Check, Speeds
|
|
Holding Airspeed
|
250-260 (88-90% RPM)
|
|
When should you slow prior to arriving at holding fix?
|
5-10 nm (1-2 min)
|
|
Calculating Descent Gradient
|
Altitude to Lose/Distance to Lose it = Gradient in ft/NM, then divide by 100 to get required pitch change from level flight
|
|
Visual Method of Calculating Descent Gradient
|
Use 10 NL as total distance to go for descent. Impose alt (thousands) as a ratio on that line. (If you have 60 miles to go and need to lose 30k, you would aim halfway down, 5 deg NL)
|
|
PP: 200-250 ft/NM, Clean
|

Idle
|
|
PP: 1000 ft/NM, Boards
|
80% RPM
|
|
PP: 1300 ft/NM, Boards
|
Idle
|
|
Penetration Airspeed
|
300 kt, adjust if required
|
|
When should you begin to slow for an ILS?
|
Dogleg to final or 10-15 nm from touchdown
|
|
ILS Airspeed
|
240-260
|
|
Power Setting on ILS
|
85-87% RPM holds 240-260 level flight
|
|
When should you begin turn to interecept ILS course when being vectored?
|
Start turn to intercept as soon as CDI begins to move
|
|
When should you configure on an IAP?
|
Approx 2-5 miles before FAF
|
|
Power Setting for level flight configured
|
93-95% RPM (full flap); 90-91% (flaps 60)
|
|
VVI on ILS Final
|
750-900 fpm
|
|
Glideslope Corrections on ILS Final
|
Use pitch changes of 1 deg along with 1% RPM power change to compensate
|
|
Average Leadpoint at 12-15 DME
|
Normally 10 deg works well
|
|
When should you turn to intercept on dogleg to VORTAC final?
|
Approx 3-4 deg of CDI deflection will provide good leadpoint
|
|
Descent rate for NPA
|
1200-1500 fpm; reduce to 200-300 fpm prior to MDA
|
|
NPA Pitch/Power
|
4-5 NL, 10% rpm
|
|
Circling Configuration
|
Final Turn Airspeed, 60% flaps
|
|
When can you descend out of a circle?
|
When in a position to place the aircraft on a normal glidepath to the landing runway
|
|
Downwind spacing on a circle
|
1.5 NM
|
|
How to Set Spacing on a 180 deg circle
|
Turn 45 off, maintain this until you have flown down runway the same amount as desired displacement
|
|
When can you begin a sidestep?
|
Anytime after the landing runway is in sight and inside the FAF
|
|
Missed Approach
|
MIL, Close Speed Brake, 5 NH. With positive climb on altimiter and VVI reversing, retract gear and flaps. 240-300 kt in climb to missed approach altitude. At 240, you can pull power back to reduce rate of climb.
