T-39 FLIGHT PREPARATION STUDENT GUIDE A-4 • Turn point procedures are expected to be performed at all fixes and NAVAIDS, including departures and approaches (may be modified in climb/descents by omitting ETA’s and EFRs, for example - “Two minutes prior to CANUE, outbound heading 186 for a course of 180”) • For climbs, descents, or initial level off, the student may use KTAS or KIAS in figuring ETA’s (IMN X 10 will give a rough TAS in NM per MIN, e.g., .5 IMN = 5 NM/min = 300 KTAS). • At least 3 “complete” turn points at altitude are required to complete any ANAV. • Students should plan 2 PT-to-PTs on each ANAV sortie. These may include intersections on SIDs or Approaches and will satisfy the “complete” turn point requirement if done at altitude. n. Turn Point Procedures • (2 Min prior) Outbound heading XXX for course XXX (Direct/Jet Route), ETA to _____ is xx+xx, description of jet route or next turn point. • (MOT) Left/Right XXX (clear turn), time, place, fuel, NAVAID • (Wings-Level) Fuel + preflight, Fuel at the IAF is _____ NOTE: Lead all turns on airways and direct (i.e. TACAN to TACAN) routes, including PT-PT’s. o. Ground Speed Checks • One ground speed check shall be accomplished on the first leg to validate the ground speed readout. If the check is within + 10 kts of the readout, the ground speed readout may be used for the remainder of the flight. Use the HSI button to toggle to ground speed. • After ground speed check, update the ETA to the next point and EFR at the IAF • Update ETAs and IAF fuels on each leg thereafter • The student shall also verbalize the wind calculated. p. Basic NAVAID Setup • TACAN is the primary NAVAID. VOR is a backup. Be flexible – if the situation dictates that the VOR makes more sense to use first then do it. Example – you are cleared direct to the Brookley (BFM) VORTAC and then to NPA. Instead of putting your TACAN on BFM with nothing to put the VOR on to leapfrog the NAVAIDs (Saufley, 108.8 is a T-34-ism – don’t do it!), and then switching the TACAN again to NPA, just navigate to BFM with the VOR and have the TACAN already on NPA for a seamless switch. • At the change over point on an airway, switch the TACAN and give the pilot a new heading for the new course.
STUDENT GUIDE T-39 FLIGHT PREPARATION • On a direct leg -- switch the TACAN, center the CDI, and give the pilot a new heading for the new course. • Always inform crew of NAVAID switches. Use common name vice channel or frequency, e.g., “TACAN switching to Crestview”. q. Changes/Flexibility At all times, the student should be able to adjust some flight parameter to meet fuel/time/weather requirements: • Shorten the time remaining (alter distance to go) • Select optimum altitude (climb) • Select optimum airspeed (max range/endurance) • Minimum fuel required is 1100# on deck plus #400 for each approach plus enroute divert fuel if destination is IMC. r. Descent • Obtain ATIS • Initiate Descent checklist 100-150 NM (approximately 15-20 min) prior to the destination IAF • Crew brief includes destination weather, field and approach briefs, holding brief (if required), Vref, W/O EPR, and T/R stops, and estimate of MSL altitude where radalt should come alive. s. Approach • RadAlt/Radio Altimeter is set to HAT/HAA for an instrument approach and 400 feet for a visual approach (single engine go-around climb to 400 feet AGL min). • Mandatory altitude calls -- 15K MSL, 10K MSL, 5K AGL, 4K MSL, 3K MSL, 2K MSL, 1K MSL, 1000 feet prior to any assigned altitude above 1000 feet, “Rad Alt Alive” (radio altimeter is active at 2000 feet AGL), 200 feet prior to any altitude below 1000 feet AGL, and MDA or DH. Clear all turns. t. Landing Checklist • Slowing through 180 KIAS in the break (visual) and wings level on downwind • NLT 7 nm prior to TDZ on TACAN approach • + 30 o and within 12 nm on GCA • Same as GCA but NLT “1 Dot below glideslope” on ILS (- 7nm) A-5
