Chapter Seven Emergency Procedures

CHAPTER SEVEN

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

700.

INTRODUCTION

Arguably the most significant training you will receive during the contact stage will be in

Emergency Procedures (EP'). You will learn how to appropriately interpret and apply NATOPS

emergency procedures, establish strong crew coordination during an emergency, and manage the

external radio communications required. Moreover, beyond merely developing these skills for

the future, realize now that should an emergency occur during your T-6A training, you will be

expected to be a proactive, contributing crewmember from day one on the flight line.

The T-6A NATOPS Manual, Section III, will be your governing publication for all T-6A EPs and

the primary focus of your study and preparation. This chapter of the FTI merely expands and

amplifies certain procedures from the NATOPS. If discrepancies exist between the FTI and the

NATOPS Manual, the NATOPS takes precedence.

You are required to memorize all of the NATOPS boldfaced emergency procedures. During your

preflight briefings and in the aircraft, you will be expected to verbalize boldfaced items.

Although not required to commit non-boldfaced items to memory, you should have an in-depth

understanding of each step of the emergency procedure. Study well and understand the text

portions that normally precede the actual procedural steps in Section III of the NATOPS, and

always come to the preflight briefing well prepared to discuss EPs.

NOTE

When appropriate, power at 4 to 6 percent is used to simulate the feathered

condition. The +3% variability used for normal power settings does not

apply.
