T-<strong>39</strong> FLIGHT PREPARATION STUDENT GUIDE<br />
1. INTRODUCTION<br />
COURSE OVERVIEW<br />
This unit describes the T-<strong>39</strong> operating procedures, including checklists, emergency<br />
procedures, aircraft operating limits, and the operation <strong>of</strong> various aircraft systems and<br />
equipment. Standard procedures are a necessity for all aircrews. A missed item on a checklist<br />
can have disastrous results, but can be avoided if everyone uses the same procedures.<br />
2. MODE OF INSTRUCTION<br />
This course consists <strong>of</strong> group-paced lectures employing various instructional media and a<br />
preflight video. Material is reinforced by scheduled FAM 0’s, student-initiated observer hops,<br />
and self-paced study. Practice preflights and cockpit familiarization sessions are highly<br />
recommended. <strong>Air</strong>craft are assigned by maintenance on the field side <strong>of</strong> the hangar, first deck.<br />
3. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> this course, the students will demonstrate their knowledge <strong>of</strong> T-<strong>39</strong><br />
operating procedures and limitations by completing the end-<strong>of</strong>-course examination with a<br />
minimum score <strong>of</strong> 80%.<br />
4. INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES<br />
a. Terminal and Enabling Objectives<br />
Each lesson will cover Terminal and Enabling Objectives (taken from CNATRAINST<br />
1542.131B (Intermediate) and CNATRAINST 1542.132A (Advanced)) describing specific<br />
procedures, with pertinent amplifying illustrations.<br />
b. T-<strong>39</strong> Flight Preparation book<br />
The T-<strong>39</strong> Flight Preparation course book is designed to reinforce the lectures and examples<br />
covered in class. It is to be used in conjunction with the T-<strong>39</strong> NATOPS Flight Manual, and is<br />
not to be considered an all-inclusive study guide.<br />
c. The NATOPS<br />
A new T-<strong>39</strong> N/G NATOPS is currently being written and going through the approval<br />
process. Whenever this publication refers to the NATOPS Flight Manual or Pocket Checklist,<br />
the student will utilize the appropriate materials provided.<br />
Study the NATOPS, work through practice problems, be thoroughly familiar with the<br />
checklists, and do the required reading prior to class. Ask questions anytime the material is not<br />
clearly understood.<br />
