T-45C TS, ADV, & IUT BIFP-01
Instrument Takeoff and Climb with SID
I.
Primary instrument scan: ADI for heading, pitch,
airspeed, and AOA. Scan HSI and airspeed
indicators for congruency. Appropriately, scan
other control and performance instruments
J.
80 KIAS: IP will orally transfer aircraft control to
the rear cockpit for completion of the ITO (actual
aircraft versus in the flight simulator)
NOTE: The heading bugs on the ADI and HSI
can be used as aids for maintaining runway
heading during an ITO. Before an ITO, deter-
mine exact centerline heading for the departure
runway. On the HSI display page, select HDG
and enter that number using increment/decre-
ment arrows. When finished, unbox HDG by
selecting CRS and enter whatever course is
appropriate for the departure (SID, radar-vector,
etc.). Leave CRS boxed and deselect all steer-
ing: TACAN, VOR, WYPT, WO/S. The system
is now optimally configured for an ITO. You will
see heading bugs displayed on the ADI and HSI
heading scales indicating exact runway center-
line heading.
After the IP taxies into takeoff position and
aligns the aircraft with centerline, the heading
bugs should be coincidental and the ADI bug
should be under the ADI aircraft heading refer-
ence mark. If the ADI bug is slightly off, reselect
HDG and center the bug under the reference
mark (reselect/box CRS when finished). If the
ADI heading bug and heading reference mark
differ by more than a couple of degrees, confirm
with the front seat pilot that the aircraft is prop-
erly aligned. If a heading disparity persists,
suspect a calculation or heading system error.
During the ITO, use the ADI and HSI heading
bugs as visual cues for maintaining runway
heading. Following takeoff and cleanup, select
the desired HSI steering button needed for
departure; then, course data will be displayed.
