FLIGHT TRAINING INSTRUCTION T-45 WEAPONS/STRIKE - Cnatra

CHAPTER NINE T-45 WEAPONS/STRIKE
If a go-around/wave-off is performed, enter the landing pattern as to avoid buildings, houses and
other populated areas.
Landing Roll-out and Taxi to the Line
If aircraft land from the same approach while alternating sides of the runway, remain on your
respective side while slowing the aircraft to taxi speed. Normal deceleration rates as per local
S.O.P. apply. Be considerate of the aircraft landing behind you as to avoid overly aggressive
braking, unless safety dictates otherwise. Once the deceleration rate is acceptable, your aircraft
is under control and it is safe to do so, you may clear the aircraft to cross in front of you by
stating over Tactical frequency “cleared to cross”.
If Lead dictates the flight will taxi back together, the taxi back will be in accordance with
Division Formation taxi procedures, complying with local directives. Dash Two sets the interval
and Three and Four make the flight look good.
If taxiing with ordnance remaining, advise maintenance and/or base with status (hung or
unexpended) and comply with local de-arming procedures. The term “Hung” indicates there was
an attempt to release while “Unexpended” indicates there was no attempt to release.
Shutdown / Post-Flight Procedures
Aircraft parking and shutdown procedures are in accordance with NATOPS and local
procedures. Normal post-flight inspection is accomplished with special attention to aircraft
damage due to frag or bomb-to-aircraft collisions. Specific areas of inspection include: access
panels, underside of the wing, flaps, empennage, horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
