T-45A UJPT, ADV, & IUT ACMFP-01
Introduction to ACM
NOTE: Remember that Vn diagrams show only
instantaneous turn performance.
D. Energy management for the T-45A 6.7.2.6.1
1.
Cornering speed is approximately 410 kts
2.
Maneuvering airspeed band roughly 300-350 KIAS
E. Performance characteristics exercise 6.7.8.5
1.
Purpose--to demonstrate timed turns, timed accelerations, and
zero-airspeed departures
2.
Application
a.
Set-up: separate from wingman, climb to 15,000 ft MSL,
establish desired airspeed and level flight
b.
Execution
(1) Timed turns
(a) At 300 kt, fly a cardinal heading
(b) Execute an energy sustaining turn (13-14 units) at
MRT for 180 degrees, maintaining 300 kts (IP will
record time)
(c) Reestablish cardinal heading, execute hard turn
(17 units) at MRT for 180 degrees of turn,
maintaining 300 kts (IP will record time and energy
loss)
NOTE: The nose will have to be below the
horizon to maintain 300 kts.
(d) Climb back to 15,000 ft and reestablish cardinal
heading, execute maximum performance turn
(break turn 19-21 units) at MRT for 180 degrees of
turn, attempting to maintain 300 kts (IP will record
time and energy loss)
