SSE Wave off

JOINT ADVANCED MULTI-ENGINE T-44A

144.

SSE Wave off. SSE waveoffs allow safe transition from SSE descending flight to maximum power SSE

climbing flight. NATOPS allows for a power setting "as required", but the airplane is power limited with

one engine inoperative. Maximum power on the remaining engine is a recommended starting point. The

maneuver is designed to stop altitude loss as soon as possible, while transitioning to a climb at the desired

climb speed. Minimum altitude for the IP to initiate a practice SSE waveoff is 200'. The IP shall take the

controls and execute any waveoff required below 200' utilizing both engines. The SSE waveoff is a

demanding maneuver requiring precise aircraft control and expedient procedures. Climb performance is

directly proportional to how well the maneuver is executed. Limited power margins dictate exact

execution. Utilize NATOPS Single Engine Waveoff procedures.

Direct the CP to make a waveoff call to Tower. If possible, waveoff slightly offset from the runway to

allow a better view of the traffic.

To standardize all waveoffs, the copilot shall report "gear up" before the props are retarded to 1900. The

intent of this requirement is to ensure that instructors can maintain proper defensive positioning throughout

the waveoff. Students must ensure that they understand the aerodynamic concepts behind getting the gear

up, props back, and proper power set for the best performance.

NOTE: Students are limited to 16 passes, including waveoffs and full stops, or one hour in the landing pattern.

Cabaniss Departure For NGP. Prior to requesting departure, direct the CP or OBS to copy ATIS on VHF

145.

(138.6) or VOR (114.0). If NGP is IFR, place a "GCA-1 on request, full stop" or "Tango-3, (type of

approach desired), full stop." If VFR, place a "Sunrise departure on request, full stop/touch and go." All

departures must be coordinated by Cabaniss Tower with Approach/NGP Tower. Clearance for VFR

departure normally takes only a few minutes unless an emergency is in progress at NGP. IFR departures

require more coordination and may take longer. If the weather is marginal, check ATIS continuously

during the flight or contact NGP Metro (344.6) to stay on top of the situation. Allow extra fuel if an

approach is anticipated. It is always better to incomplete a flight rather than press on with inadequate

reserves. The aircraft must be on-deck prior to either nacelle indicating in the yellow range. No fuel is

available at Cabaniss.

If departing IFR, squawk the assigned code and contact Corpus Approach when directed. "Runway

heading to 1500' contact Approach on channel 5" is a typical clearance. Report off Cabaniss, altitude

passing and assigned altitude, and then comply with instructions.

If departing VFR, do so in accordance with Course Rules. Report "Sunrise for the break, full stop/touch and

go." Carefully note the assigned runway and instructions. Do not confuse left and right runways. Prevailing

winds from the southeast favor runway 13 throughout most of the year. If instructed to make a base entry,

immediate action may be required to arrive at the base (90) position configured to land, at 500'/110 KIAS.

Do not land prior to the arresting gear if it is rigged. Only slow taxi is authorized over the cable.

Return To Parking and Shutdown. After final landing, clear the runway as soon as possible at the first

available turnoff. To avoid excessive side loads on the gear, ensure aircraft has slowed to a safe taxi speed.

Be alert to Tower instructions such as "Cleared to cross 13 left" or "Hold short of 13 left". Read back all

"Hold short" or "Cleared to cross" intersections. Visually check and report "Clear" to the CP at all runway

or taxiway intersections. Switch to Ground as soon as clear of the duty runway/runways. Do not start

After Landing Checklist until clear of the active runway. Report position and request "Taxi to my line."

During early FAMs, the aircraft may be stopped clear of any congested areas prior to taxiing. Do not

block the taxiway. Complete the After Landing Checklist. After the student becomes familiar with

checklists and competent at taxiing, complete the checklist while slowly taxiing to the line. Give way to

outbound traffic. The taxiing Pilot should direct the CP to complete items that might divert attention from

outside the aircraft, especially at night. Switch to 138.775 and report "Peg Base, Bureau Number,

returned, up/down, request parking." If you intend to report the aircraft down, confirm with the IP it is

down prior to calling. State the reason when making the voice report. Obtain parking assignment prior to

entering the line to avoid taxiing past the spot. Initiate the Secure Checklist if time allows. Be alert for

chocks or other hazards in the vicinity of the line.
