Radio Failure/ICS Failure

T-34C CONTACT

APPENDIX C

Preflight problems.

ii.

Battery below 18 volts, Gs in excess of +4.5/-2.3, oxygen 1000 psi.

iii.

Pre-taxi problems.

(a)

If we abort on takeoff, we will stop the aircraft on the remaining runway

centerline by lowering the nosewheel, using max beta and smoothly

increase pressure on the brake pedals.

(b)

If we depart the runway, we will continue our abort with the appropriate

NATOPS procedures. After aircraft evacuation we will meet well clear of

the aircraft.

(c)

If we abort shortly after liftoff, we will turn downwind and climb to

pattern low key, notifying Tower of our intentions to execute a pattern

PEL.

Divert Fields. The divert fields for today's mission are _____________.

Minimum and Emergency Fuel

Minimum fuel is when we are at a fuel state that will not allow us to accept undue

delay enroute to our destination. ATC may be notified; however, they may not

necessarily grant any preferential assistance. Minimum fuel is not considered an

emergency.

We will declare an emergency when we have reached a fuel state that will result in

our landing with less than acceptable fuel quantity. Emergency fuel is considered an

emergency; ATC will provide preferential assistance.

Waveoff Pattern

Execution of the waveoff is mandatory for all students when directed by RDO,

Tower, Wheels Watch, or the IP. Waveoffs will be conducted per local procedures.

Homefield waveoff per local course rules.

OLF waveoff procedurally similar except maintain safe separation from other

aircraft, climb to pattern altitude and turn downwind when you have proper interval

per local procedures.

Radio Failure/ICS Failure. A confirmed radio failure will be handled per the procedures

outlined in the FWOP/Course Rules and sound judgment on the part of the pilot in command. If

VFR, remain VFR and do not proceed into questionable or marginal VFR weather. Discuss ICS

failure procedures and procedure for positive change of control.
