T-<strong>39</strong> FLIGHT PREPARATION STUDENT GUIDE<br />
(In the event <strong>of</strong> a DD-175 flight, the crew will meet at Base Operations at the brief time;<br />
otherwise, the crew will meet in the squadron briefing rooms).<br />
8. FLIP<br />
The DOD Flight Information Publications (FLIP) contains information for preflight planning<br />
and enroute use. Prior to the flight, aircrew members should consult the General Planning (GP),<br />
Area Planning (AP), and Planning Change Notices for information on items needed during flight,<br />
such as IR and VR routes, Supplemental <strong>Air</strong>port Remarks, and MOA boundaries.<br />
Appropriate inflight publications must be carried on every flight. Students are required to<br />
have any publications that may be used during a flight except for General Planning and the Area<br />
Planning publications. If you are going on an out-and-in or cross-country you will need Area<br />
Charts, High Altitude Charts, Low Altitude Charts covering the entire route <strong>of</strong> flight, High and<br />
Low Altitude Approach Plates, and STARs for your destination. Ensure you have publications<br />
for divert fields along your route.<br />
9. FLIGHT LOGS<br />
Flight Logs (Jet Cards)<br />
Flight logs are used to plan fuel consumption, ETA’s, and collect Aerodrome information<br />
for the destination, alternate, and emergency divert fields. Flight logs are not used for<br />
enroute navigation. Each student will bring a flight log for the planned route <strong>of</strong> flight. Flight<br />
log construction is the same as previously learned with a few exceptions:<br />
ETEs may be figured to either the nearest minute or half minute.<br />
Fuel figures for the T-<strong>39</strong> aircraft can be divided into three parts: normal thrust climb,<br />
enroute fuel flow, and divert requirements.<br />
Start fuel is the max usable fuel, 7200 lbs (JP-5). Fuel reserve requirements, as indicated<br />
by OPNAVINST 3710.7 are 20 min at 10,000 feet MSL or 10% <strong>of</strong> required fuel, whichever<br />
is higher. This equates to 600 lbs based on a fuel flow <strong>of</strong> 1800 PPH at 10,000 feet MSL,<br />
175 KIAS, or 10% <strong>of</strong> required fuel. Plan 400 lbs for start, taxi, take<strong>of</strong>f, and each planned<br />
approach.<br />
The 400 lbs for start, taxi, and take<strong>of</strong>f is added to L/O fuel on the front <strong>of</strong> flight logs and<br />
omitted on the back.<br />
10. PLANNING<br />
Plan your alternate airfield pr<strong>of</strong>iles for an ANAV/AN flight as follows:<br />
From the destination IAF to alternate IAF at last cruising altitude, airspeed, and fuel flow.<br />
From the destination IAF to alternate IAF using the destination IAF altitude and<br />
maximum range airspeed. At NPA, this is 16,000 feet, 300 TAS and 2200 PPH.<br />
Bingo pr<strong>of</strong>ile, destination airfield to alternate airfield.<br />
