504. UNSAFE LANDING GEAR INDICATIONS

The following procedures are provided in addition to those outlined in the T-34C NATOPS.

Unsafe Gear on Takeoff

Lead or Wing. The aircraft with the unsafe indication should take the lead and climb to an

emergency orbit or delta pattern (in accordance with (IAW) local course rules), making the

appropriate radio calls to the tower. Coordinate with your Wingman or a chase aircraft to get an

airborne landing gear inspection. The chase aircraft will follow the distressed aircraft to the

emergency orbit or delta pattern and assist as necessary. If on a solo flight, the solo without the

gear problem will depart the field and reenter as a single aircraft in accordance with course rules.

Solo Chase. If the solo chase aircraft has an unsafe indication, the student solos will enter

downwind or depart independently and reenter as individual solos in accordance with local

course rules. SOLOS WILL NOT JOIN UP at any time during the downwind, departure, or

reentry.

Unsafe Gear on Landing

Lead or Wing. The aircraft with the unsafe indications should take the lead and climb to

the emergency orbit or delta pattern making the appropriate radio calls to tower and the chase

aircraft. The chase aircraft will follow the distressed aircraft to the emergency orbit or delta

pattern and assist as necessary. If on a solo flight, the solo without the malfunction will make a

normal landing.
