STUDENT GUIDE T-<strong>39</strong> FLIGHT PREPARATION<br />
i. Lineup Checklist<br />
• Verbalize clearing the “Groove”<br />
• Clear the other side for A/C<br />
• Clear the run-up area for FOD and the runway for other aircraft<br />
• Commence the Lineup checklist<br />
• Note the T/O time<br />
j. T/O Roll<br />
• The student’s primary scan is runway alignment and airspeed. The secondary scan is<br />
engine instruments and caution-warning light panel. Students should not fixate on the<br />
airspeed indicator.<br />
• Call “Off the peg, 60 kts, V1 in knots<br />
k. At Rotation<br />
• Monitor attitude, airspeed, VSI, Altimeter, and scan outside<br />
• Once 2 positive rates are confirmed, verbalize “two positive rates <strong>of</strong> climb, GEAR.”<br />
• The pilot will raise the gear.<br />
• Once A/C is “clean”, pilot shall respond with "Gear up, lights out." Student shall<br />
then call for landing/taxi lights – confirm “retracted and <strong>of</strong>f.”<br />
• Complete the After Take<strong>of</strong>f checklist after passing 1500 feet<br />
• Aviate, Navigate, Communicate, Checklists, then EPRs<br />
l. Clear All Turns<br />
• All turns regardless <strong>of</strong> direction should be cleared on the student's side.<br />
• Clear as <strong>of</strong>ten as rate <strong>of</strong> bank/turn dictates (Turns greater than 30º angle <strong>of</strong> bank<br />
require an almost continual clearing turn outward at co-altitude, and above (if<br />
climbing))<br />
• Generally the copilot should “stay out <strong>of</strong> phase” with the pilot (i.e., if the pilot is<br />
primarily scanning outside/left then the copilot should scan inside/right)<br />
m. Climb Out<br />
• Update Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR) every 5000 feet starting at 5000 feet MSL<br />
• Perform the Climb checklist passing 10,000 feet<br />
• 1000 feet prior to final level <strong>of</strong>f, give a Cruise EPR and an IMN for cruise<br />
