Departure - P-8670033

T-39 FLIGHT PREPARATION

STUDENT GUIDE

RADALT set to 400 feet. All items must be properly set prior to takeoff. This is to include

altitude alerter set to the first level off altitude, CDI set to the first radial, and heading bug set to

the first heading after runway heading.

b. Takeoff

The Standard Departure Procedures used by jet aircraft at NAS Pensacola are radar

vectors. Complete the first four items of the Lineup Checklist prior to calling for takeoff. When

cleared for position and hold, or takeoff, clear the "groove" (final) and clear the runup area for

FOD, and the runway for other aircraft. Upon receiving takeoff clearance, complete the last two

items of the Lineup Checklist.

(1)

Note the takeoff time.

(2)

Call "Off the peg"

(3)

Call "60 kts"

(4)

Call V1 in knots, i.e. "123".

DEPARTURE

a. After noting a positive rate of climb

(1)

Initiate the After Takeoff checklist.

(2)

When switched by tower - call Departure.

(3)

Above 1500 feet AGL, complete the After Takeoff checklist.

b. Navigate the departure

(1)

Call Departure (if not already accomplished).

(2) Monitor engine instruments (EPR, Oil, EGT, RPM, etc) to ensure the engine is

within operating limits.

(3) Initiate the climb checklist (passing 10,000 feet or final level off, whichever

occurs first).

(4)

Continue climb checklist passing transition altitude (18,000 feet).

(5) One thousand feet prior to final level off, check outside air temperature (OAT),

give a cruise EPR, and an Indicated Mach Number (Cruise Mach).

The standards for departure include arcing to a tolerance of +1 NM and course control to a

tolerance of +2 NM and 3 radials. On departure, 90 turns are led by 1% of Ground Speed, True

Airspeed, or Indicated Airspeed, using that order of precedence. Indicated Mach Number (IMN)

is an indication of TAS; e.g. 0.5 IMN = 300 KTAS, 0.6 IMN = 360 KTAS, etc. If IAS is 250

KTS and IMN is 0.5, lead the turn by 3 DME. TAS may also be determined by adding 5 KTS

for each 1000' of altitude to the aircraft's IAS.

EXAMPLE: What is my lead turn to arc on the departure if....

Altitude

= 10,000 feet MSL

IAS

= 250 KTS
