OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

 All unidentified odors will be considered toxic. Do not take

off when unidentified odors are present. Do not confuse ECS

condensation for smoke.

2

 The emergency oxygen bottle is not recommended for use

in the smoke and fumes environment unless aircraft oxygen

supply contamination is suspected. Activation of the emergency

oxygen bottle does not prevent cockpit smoke or fumes from

entering the oxygen mask.

3

 External fuel cannot be transferred in OFF or RAM. Consider

jettisoning tank(s) to decrease drag if range is critical and the

ECS cannot be turned on for short periods of time to transfer

fuel.

4

W

 If AIR SOURCE knob is placed to OFF or RAM, OBOGS

is inoperative. Activate EOS if OXY LOW warning light

illuminates above 10,000 ft cockpit altitude.

5

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

EGI should be considered nonessential.

6

 

F

 Smoke in the cockpit may be indicative of an engine oil

system malfunction. If possible, retard throttle to lowest setting

possible to sustain flight and monitor the OIL pressure

indicator. Refer to OIL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, page C19, if

appropriate.

F

 Any odor that smells of burning flesh may be indicative of

bird ingestion into the engine. Monitor engine instruments for

signs of abnormal operation.

OTHER INDICATIONS:

D

CABIN PRESS caution light.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

W

F

With the ECS shut down or the AIR SOURCE knob in

OFF or RAM, the gsuit does not inflate and PBG is disabled.

F

With the ECS shut down or the AIR SOURCE knob in OFF or

RAM, OBOGS is inoperative. Activate EOS if OXY LOW warning

light illuminates above 10,000 ft cockpit altitude.

2

The OBOGS caution light may illuminate as a result of ECS

cycling or temporary ECS shutdown. This is normal as long as

the OXY LOW warning light does not illuminate.

3

 Most AUTO position temperature failures can be corrected

by use of the MAN position.

4

The OBOGS caution light illuminates while AIR SOURCE

knob is in OFF.

5

W

If AIR SOURCE knob is placed to OFF or RAM, OBOGS is

inoperative. Activate EOS if OXY LOW warning light illuminates

above 10,000 ft cockpit altitude.

6

 External fuel cannot be transferred in OFF or RAM. Consider

jettisoning tank(s) to decrease drag if range is critical and the

ECS cannot be turned on for short periods of time to transfer

fuel.

If the cockpit temperature is excessive and does not re

spond to AUTO or MAN temperature commands or

cockpit pressure is lost, proceed as follows:

1. OXYGEN - 100%.

2. Altitude - 25,000 ft max.

4. AIR SOURCE knob - OFF (1015 sec), then

NORM.

If cockpit pressure is not regained but all other sys

tems dependent on the ECS are operational:

5. Flight may be continued below 25,000 ft.

If ECS has failed or cockpit temperature control is not

regained:

5. AIR SOURCE knob - OFF.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

W

 Failure to remove night vision goggles (NVG) prior to

ejection may cause serious injury. If unable to remove NVG, a

proper ejection body position (head back against the seat

headrest) reduces the chance of injury from the NVG.

2

 Slow to lowest practical airspeed.

3

W

 If canopy is jettisoned or manually released/opened after

pulling the ejection handle, the ejection seat functions

immediately after canopy separation. Be prepared to

immediately put arm back in ejection position when the canopy

starts to separate.

4

W

 Pulling the CANOPY JETTISON Thandle other than

straight out may cause the handle to jam.

5

W

 Use of the CANOPY JETTISON Thandle or MANUAL

CANOPY CONTROL handcrank may result in serious injury. To

minimize chances of injury, immediately release the handle

when the canopy starts to separate.

OTHER  CONSIDERATIONS:

1

 

D

 Store and station selections can be made from either

cockpit.

2

C

F

Jettison of an inboard shouldermounted store from a

TER at station 4 or 6 with MLG down may result in LG and

store(s) collision. To avoid this, select RACK for jettison instead

of WPN.

F

Jettison of external wing fuel tanks with stores/suspension

equipment at stations 3 and/or 7 with MLG down may result in

LG and external wing fuel tank collision.

F

Failure to load the actual stores configuration into SMS

inventory could cause damage to the aircraft by inhibiting the

selective jettison release time delay used to insure safe

370/600gallon fuel tank separation when a store is present at

station 3 or 7.

F

Selective jettison airspeed/mach limits in T.O. GR1F16CJ12,

are only valid for:

D

Selective jettison of one store type at a time.

D

Selective jettison from nonadjacent stations.

If simultaneous selective jettison of either more than one store

type or from adjacent stations is required, adhere to emergency

jettison airspeed/mach limits.

3

F

Weapon(s) and/or rack(s) to be jettisoned is highlighted.

F

When 300gallon and 370/600gallon fuel tanks are

carried simultaneously, the 300gallon fuel tank must be

separated prior to the 370/600gallon fuel tanks.

4

 When jettisoning tanks from stations 4 and 6, hold release

button depressed for 1 sec.

5

 Use EMER STORES JETTISON on the ground only as a last

resort.

6

W

 

Emergency jettison is not available if an MMC FAIL PFL

message is present. Emergency jettison can be restored by

placing the MMC sw to OFF.

7

 If the initial actuation of the EMER STORES JETTISON button

fails to jettison all aircraft stores, subsequent attempts may

successfully release the remaining stores.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

W

 It is possible for the displayed ADI and/or HUD attitude

to be in error with no ADI OFF or AUX warning flags in view and

without an EGI or HUD MFL/PFL. Displayed HSI and/or HUD

headings may also be in error with no HSI OFF or ADI AUX

warning flags in view and without an EGI or HUD MFL/PFL.

Momentary warning flags may indicate impending failure. To

detect these failures and maintain proper flight orientation,

basic and backup instruments must be crosschecked.

2

W

 The autopilot does not automatically disengage with EGI

failures. Failure to manually disconnect the autopilot may

result in an unusual aircraft attitude and disorientation.

3

 Constant altitude (

$

 200 ft) coordinated turns (bank angle

less than 45

°

) to change heading by 45

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

1

 Insure that AR/NWS light is off prior to landing so that the

NWS does not follow rudder commands when the nosewheel

is lowered to the runway.

2

 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.

3

C

 Visually confirm speedbrake opening is limited to 43

°

 to

prevent the lower surfaces from striking the runway during

landing.

4

W

 

F

 If a hot brake condition is a result of a dragging brake,

taxiing the aircraft worsens the condition.

F

 Any leaking hydraulic fluid may be ignited by hot wheel and

brake surfaces.

F

 Wheel fusible plugs may relieve tire pressure at anytime

during the 15 minutes after brake application.

F

 With hot brakes, avoid inflated MLG tire side area within 300

feet for 45 minutes after aircraft has stopped. If required,

approach from front or rear for firefighting purposes only.

5

W

 

F

 Do not use the parking brake.

F

 If battery power is not available, toe brakes will be

inoperative after engine shutdown.

F

 Do not turn MAIN PWR sw to OFF until the nosewheel is

chocked.

F

 Attempt to park in a level area to minimize risk of aircraft

rolling if the brakes should fail after shutdown.

C

 Use only minimum possible toe brake pressure to hold

aircraft stationary until engine is shut down and nose wheel is

chocked.
