Malfunction Reports

CHAPTER FIVE

T-34C INSTRUMENTS

The degree to which capability of the pilot to operate IFR in the ATC system is

impaired.

The nature and extent of assistance desired from ATC.

NOTE

The exact nature and degree of assistance available from the ATC

system will vary considerably. It is therefore essential the pilot

inform the controller of the assistance needed. If no assistance is

required, normal handling may be expected. If special handling is

requested, the ATC controller will provide the maximum amount

of assistance, consistent with the equipment at his disposal and the

proper performance of his control functions with respect to other

IFR aircraft. Should the circumstances warrant greater attention

and priority handling with respect to other IFR aircraft, the pilot

should then declare an emergency.

"Miami Center, Navy 6E626, be advised my TACAN is inoperative.

No assistance required, navigating VOR only."

"Pensacola Approach, Navy 4F417, be advised my TACAN and VOR

have failed. Request radar vectors for a PAR (or ASR) approach to

Sherman Field."
