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
20-25% NZ
PP: 300 ft/NM, Clean
30% NZ
PP: 500 ft/NM, Clean
80% RPM
PP: 700 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.
