OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

W

 Exit over the left side (conditions permitting) to avoid EPU

exhaust gases.

2

W

F

D

Consider canopy jettison so rear seat occupant can

egress more rapidly.

F

Opening the canopy with the MANUAL CANOPY CONTROL

handcrank is extremely difficult. If immediate egress is

required, the canopy should be jettisoned rather than opened

with the handcrank.

3

W

F

If jettison is unsuccessful, heat, blast, and toxic gas

from the rockets may enter the cockpit.

F

To prevent the flow of oxygen into the cockpit after the

oxygen hose is disconnected, do not select EMERGENCY.

4

W

 Pulling the CANOPY JETTISON Thandle other than

straight out may cause the handle to jam.

5

 If conditions permit, consider a goaround if the brakes are

found to be inoperative on landing. An approachend cable

arrestment is recommended.

6

C

 Release brakes prior to changing brake channels or

turning antiskid off.

7

C

 If in a congested area, use the parking brake immediately

to stop.

GROUND EGRESS/BRAKE FAILURE

" Page

T.O. GR1F16CJ1CL2

F8

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

 Use of maximum symmetric pedal pressure provides the best

stopping performance. Differential brake only when essential

for directional control. If the ANTI SKID caution light

illuminated above 5 kts groundspeed, the aircraft may oscillate

due to pulsating brake pressure (if 15 percent or greater

differential pedal pressure is applied). Changing brake

channels may restore normal braking.

2

C

 No antiskid protection is available with the ANTISKID sw

in OFF and BRAKES channel sw to CHAN 2. Brakes should be

applied with caution to avoid wheel lockup and blown tires.

ANTISKID MALFUNCTION (GROUND) 

If the ANTI SKID caution light illuminates (with the

ANTISKID switch in ANTISKID):

1. DRAG CHUTE sw - DEPLOY (if required).

2. Brakes - Apply as needed.

3. NWS - Engage (if required).

If manual braking is desired or after aircraft is stopped:

4. BRAKES channel sw - CHAN 2.

5. ANTISKID sw - OFF.

C

ANTISKID MALFUNCTION (LANDING)

If the ANTI SKID caution light illuminates (with the

ANTISKID sw in ANTISKID) when the LG handle is

lowered:

1. BRAKESchannel sw-CHAN 2.

If the ANTI SKID caution light remains on:

2. Refer to ANTISKID MALFUNCTION (GROUND),

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

 The following hook engagement limits apply for all aircraft.

Arrestment at higher speeds may damage the aircraft.

BAK6/9/12/13/14, MAAS, and *44B2L

Routine 146 kts (*156 kts)

Emergency 160 kts (*171 kts)

2

 Attempting to engage an unmodified (nonhook capable)

MA1A will most likely be unsuccessful.

3

W

F

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.

F

To prevent hook bounce and possible missed engagement,

avoid runway centerline lighting.

4

D

Approachend arrestment: Touch down at least 500 ft in

front of the cable.

D

Departureend arrestment: HOOK sw to DN at least 1500 ft

before reaching the cable.

5

W

 Using forward stick pressure to keep an abnormally fast

aircraft on the runway for cable engagement will probably

result in a missed engagement or failure of the nose tire/NLG.

6

C

 Do not use brakes while the cable is stretched or while

being pulled backward. This action can result in aircraft tipping

backward. Control rollback with the throttle.

CABLE/NET ARRESTMENT

F12

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

7

W

 The canopy should be retained throughout the

engagement to provide pilot protection. Barrier netting will not

prevent subsequent canopy opening/jettison.

8

C

 Engage net perpendicular to preclude aircraft rotating

sideways during the arrestment. Avoid steering back toward

the center of the runway just prior to engagement as this could

result in a nonperpendicular engagement. Nosewheel

steering is not required; however, if engaged, it may be left

engaged. The throttle should be retarded to off prior to

engagement to reduce the possibility of foreign object damage.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

Inform landing base of hydrazine leak or EPU operation and

request bioenvironmental services support.

2

W

 Treat any leak as a hydrazine leak until investigation

proves otherwise.

3

 Consider turning the ECS off to prevent the possibility of

hydrazine fumes or EPU exhaust gases entering the cockpit.

4

C

F

If AIR SOURCE knob is placed to OFF, also turn off

nonessential avionic equipment as electronic equipment may

be damaged.

F

If AIR SOURCE knob is placed to OFF, OBOGS caution light

will illuminate. If OXY LOW warning light illuminates before

ground crew arrives with oxygen bottle, activate EOS.

5

 To prevent sitting in a sealed cockpit (hot) without ECS,

consider waiting for ground crew to arrive with ladder and

oxygen bottle prior to shutting down the engine.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

F

Certain ECS equipment malfunctions result in temporary

shutdown of the ECS and illumination of the EQUIP HOT

caution light.

F

An ECS shutdown and EQUIP HOT caution light illumination

for up to 2 minutes can occur either during extended LG down

flight between sea level and 7000 ft MSL or during operation

above a line from 42,000 ft MSL at 0.2 mach to 50,000 ft MSL

at 0.95 mach. These ECS shutdowns are normal, but may still

require additional action if the EQUIP HOT caution light

remains on for more than 1 minute.

F

If cockpit temperature is excessive, refer to COCKPIT

PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE MALFUNCTION, page F21.

2

If in VMC and the ADI and HSI are not required for flight, the

EGI should be considered nonessential.
