UNIT 2: T-39 FLIGHT PROFILES
All Enabling Objectives are tested on a written examination to the accuracy of 80% unless
otherwise specified. This learning unit of instruction interfaces with flights ANAV-18 through
ANAV-21 (Intermediate), AN-1 through LL-4X (advanced Core), STK-1 through Comp-6X
(Advanced Strike), and FSTK-1 through FA-4X (Advanced Strike Fighter). The final
performance checks are the end-of-course examinations and the AVX-2X (Intermediate), and all
check rides in advanced.

3-2. Make recommendations for an alternate destination based on estimated fuel requirements,
and observed and forecast meteorological conditions, given a specified course, Flight Log and

Flight Log, and forecast weather to a tolerance of: + 5 minutes of the Instructor’s calculations.
3-4. Update estimated time of arrival at each navigational checkpoint and after each ground
speed check, given a specified course and Flight Log to a tolerance of: +1 minute of actual
