OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

W

F

Do not delay lowering LG below 2000 feet AGL.

F

If LG handle does not lower, select BRAKES CHAN 2 and

position ALT FLAPS sw to EXTEND. Nozzle remains closed,

resulting in higher than normal landing thrust.

2

D

Alternate LG extension can be used up to 300 kts; however,

the NLG may not fully extend until 190 kts. Time above 190 kts

should be minimized in case there is a leak in the pneumatic

lines.

D

If an unsafe MLG indication exists and both MLG are out of the

wheel wells, pulling the ALT GEAR handle is not recommended.

3

C

F

NWS is not available following alternate LG extension.

F

Do not depress the ALT GEAR reset button while pulling the

ALT GEAR handle. This action may preclude successful LG

extension.

F

Pulling the ALT GEAR handle with normal system B hydraulic

pressure, e.g., NLG fails to extend, may result in hydraulic

system B failure within 15 minutes.

4

 If possible, get visual confirmation of LG position. If all

WHEELS down lights were initially off with the LG handle down

and use of the hook may be required after touchdown, verify

before landing that the hook extends.

5

C

 If the LG was alternately extended due to failure of system

B, only brake/JFS accumulator braking is available and after

stopping, the parking brake should be engaged until chocks

are installed.

6

 Up to 300 kts may be required to provide sufficient g force.

7

 If possible, get visual confirmation of LG position.

8

 From the front cockpit, the top of the speedbrakes should be

slightly above a line drawn from the tip of the horizontal tail to

the top of the vertical tail root fairing.

9

C

 If RMLG WHEELS down light is off, speedbrakes may not

be limited to 43º.

2. ALT GEAR handle - Pull (if required) (190 kts, if

practical).

3

C

If LG indicates safe:

3. Land normally.

4

4. Stop straight ahead on the runway.

5

C

If LG indicates unsafe:

3. Stick - Apply alternating g forces (-1.0 to +3.0g)

to free LG.

6

If LG indicates safe:

4. Land normally. 

7

5. Stop straight ahead on the runway.

C

 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

 Prior to landing with any of the LG unsafe or up, consider the

following:

D

Airfield facilities.

D

Hook engagement limits.

D

Crosswind component.

D

Runway and overrun conditions.

2

W

 If time permits, delay landing until external fuel tanks are

empty. If an immediate landing is required, jettison all external

fuel tanks.

3

W

 Failure to depressurize external fuel tanks significantly

increases the probability of tank explosion and fire.

4

 Delay placing the AIR REFUEL sw to OPEN until all external

fuel tanks are empty.

5

 If either MLG is not extended, EPU operation cannot be

terminated with the EPU sw after engine shutdown.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

W

 

F

 When braking absorbs a high amount of energy, do not

shut down engine until firefighting equipment is available and

do not use the parking brake.

F

 Hot wheels and brakes may ignite leaking hydraulic fluid.

Wheel fusible plugs may relieve tire pressure within 15 minutes

after stop.

2

W

 When the throttle is retarded to IDLE from MAX AB, the

thrust and rpm decay to idle can take up to 24 seconds. Do not

mistake high thrust/rpm for failure of the engine to respond to

the idle command. Engine shutdown from MAX AB may result

in a tailpipe fire.

3

W

 The hook may miss the cable if the aircraft is not slow

enough to compress the MLG struts sufficiently to make WOW

or if forward stick pressure is held.

4

 With engine shut down, NWS is lost and EPU does not

activate automatically. After hydraulic pressure drops, braking

is available using the brake/JFS accumulators only. Stop

straight ahead and engage parking brake.
