emergency declared an da landing accomplished at the nearest suitable landing area considering the severity of the emergency, WX conditions, field facilities, ambient lighting, and command guidance

Emergency conditions are less urgent and, although the mission is to be terminated, the degree of the emergency is such that an immediate landing may not be necessary

• Maneuvering(V_o): the speed above which full or abrupt control inputs could resutl in structural damage to the airplane - 227kts. Full rudder deflection above 150kts will exceed the limits for the rudder system

• inverted spins
• inverted stalls
• aggravated spins past two turns
• spins with the PCL above idle
• spins with the landing gear, flaps or speed brake extended
• spins with the PMU off
• spins below 10,000 feet pressure altitude

• Tail slides

• Assymetrical:
• a. clean: +4.7 to -1.0
• b. Gear/flaps +2.0 to 0.0

• Symmetrical
• a. clean: +7.0 to -3.5
• b. Gear/Flaps +2.5 to 0.0

• Stalls
• Stab Demo
• NH/NL Recoveries
• NTA ops
• OCF recoveries
• ELP’s or simulated Engine-out maneuver
• NF patterns or landings
• Straight-in
• Slow flight
• Rolling takeoffs
• Low closed
• AOA pattern

• 1. JP-4, JP-5, JP8, JP8+100, JET A, JET A-1, JET B
• 2. Aerobatics operation is prohibited with indicated fuel less than 150lbs per side
• 3. max lateral fuel imbalance 50 lbs
• 4. Max engine operation with only the high pressure fuel pump is 10 hrs

• Takeoff (T/O or UP): 25kts
• Touch and Go (T/O or UP): 25knots (20knots)
• Wet Runway: 10 knots
• Icy Runway: 5 knots
• Tailwind: 10 knots
• LDG flaps should not be used for takeoff in high x-wind: 10kts
• Max wind to open canopy: 40 kts

CLEFT: "clearing, loose items stowed, Engine check, Fuel Check (balance w/in 50lbs), Trim (elevator set mid-range)

• Max aircraft: 2
• day only, no-formation, winds in limits for rwy of intended use, low approach only, must make all traffic advisory calls and position reports
• Max airspeed: 150kts indicated a/s at or below 2500'AGL within 4 NM of NTA
• Type of pattern: instrument approach, rectangular patterns and ELPs may be flown (left hand traffic). No overhead patterns

• - no signals to hydraulic selector manifold, therefore nothing will get done
• - Required to use EMERGENCY system (doesn't req electricity)
• - no electricity at all = cannot confirm flap/ldg gear positions
• - normal flap ops is not available when BAT BUS has failed, or AUX BAT is only source of electrical power

• - Ldg Gr doors are electrically sequence and hydraulically actuated
• - lose hydraulic fluid = no be able to move ldg gear and doors
• - EMER hydraulic system must be used to lower gear (gear door do not retract)

• -Flaps will still work (powered off hot battery bus only after EMER LDG GR HANDLE is pulled)
• - normal operations not available for flaps and gear
• - landing gear door will not retract (bc must use emergency system)

• motions of the A/C about one or more axis following a stall, but before a spin
• controls ineffective
• near stalled AOA
• erratic A/S indications
• random turn needle deflections

• Spin like motions with unsteady yaw rates

• Min Fuel
• Formation
• Radar Entry
• Established in Pattern

• Fuel quantity will always show quantity from the most outboard functioning probe so:
• outer probe fails: it will read 445 +- 50# (fuel levels below that will be displayed accurately)
• middle probe fails: will read 308+- 50# (fuel levels below that will be displayed accurately)
• inner probe fails: normal indications until fuel drops to inner probe level, than show half the collector tank quantity of 20#

• * auto balancing is inop
• *fuel low annunciators (<110#) are powered by optical sensors and are separate from fuel probes; so they will indicate correctly when fuel drops below 110# for either wing.
• *do not attempt to manual fuel balance w/ FP fail on AEDD.
