OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Large asymmetric loads severely limit lateral control when

rolling away from the heavy wing. Until determining net

asymmetry, limit max bank angle change to 90

, avoid abrupt

control inputs, and do not exceed 10

AOA.

Asymmetric Moment

GR1F-16C-1CL-1-0020X37

WEIGHT 1000 POUNDS

ASYMMETRIC MOMENT 1000 FOOT-POUNDS

Selectively jettison stores from the heavy wing to obtain a net

asymmetry less than 25,020 ftlb. Refer to SELECTIVE

JETTISON, page F27.

ASYMMETRIC STORES (LANDING)

1. AOA - 10

max.

2. Determine net asymmetry.

If asymmetry is greater than 25,020 ftlb:

3. Stores - Jettison (as required).

T.O. GR1F16CJ1CL2

F34

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Lower LG at a safe altitude and check handling qualities

until roll authority is insufficient or up to 12

AOA max.

Max maneuvering AOA for approach and landing is 10

AOA or 2

less than the AOA at which roll authority is

insufficient to maintain wings level, whichever is less.

The decision to land with a large asymmetry should

consider such factors as weather conditions, runway

length/width and surface conditions (RCR), arresting gear

availability, crosswind component/gusts, and pilot experience.

With crosswind component greater than 10 kts (5 kts

if the net asymmetry exceeds 20,000 ftlb), land with heavy

wing into the crosswind even if this results in landing

downwind. Failure to do so may result in inadequate roll

control.

Do not exceed the max AOA, as determined during the

controllability check, during final approach, flare, touchdown,

or twopoint aerodynamic braking.

F34.1

If asymmetry is greater than 10,000 ftlb:

4. Controllability - Check.

If landing is feasible:

5. Fly a shallow, poweron, straightin approach.

6. Roll trim and lateral stick - As required.

7. Rudder trim - Trim into the heavy wing (if

required).

If landing is not feasible:

5. Go to EJECTION (TIME PERMITTING), page

F23.

If asymmetry is less than 10,000 ftlb:

4. Land normally.

*Receiver(s) in the observation position will move to the precontact position

in their briefed sequence only after insuring that the boom is in the ready

for contact position and the preceding receiver has cleared the tanker. The

receiver will stabilize in the precontact position, then move to the contact

position. The boom operator will not give the ready for contact signal until

the preceding receiver has cleared the tanker.

**The receivers will advise the tanker of any pilot director light malfunctions/

deficiencies.

***If fuel shortage occurs at times other than scheduled air refueling, the

receiver should be positioned so the signal may be seen from the tanker

cockpit.

****Additional fuel offloaded will be 5M for large receiver aircraft, 2M for small

receiver aircraft, on each subsequent contact.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

A small amount of fuel spray from the nozzle and receptacle

during fuel transfer does not require fuel transfer to be

terminated. The receiver pilot should be notified if this

condition exists and the air refueling operations will be

continued or discontinued at his discretion.

Normal FLCS gains and tank pressures will be regained.

The RDY, AR/NWS, and DISC lights will not indicate

normally. The NWS light will not illuminate when nosewheel

steering is engaged.

The receiver pilot must inform the tanker he is ready to

receive fuel and coordinate the disconnect cycle for the

conclusion of refueling.

Prior to attempting this method of transferring fuel, the

boom operator will brief the receiver pilot and thoroughly

coordinate the procedures to be used. Both tanker and receiver

crews will monitor the refueling with extreme caution.

When notified that a KC10/KDC10 boom flight

control system failure has occurred, do not initiate a disconnect

unless directed by the boom operator.

Follow the boom operator's instruction explicitly. To reduce

the probability of boom strike after disconnect, it may be

necessary to remain in a stabilized position to allow for

aerodynamic fairing of the boom control surfaces.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS

When any system malfunction or condition exists

which could jeopardize safety, air refueling will not be

accomplished except during fuel emergencies or when

continuance of fueling is dictated by operational

necessity.

Slipway Door Will Not Open

No backup system is provided to open or close the slip

way door if hydraulic system B fails.

Slipway Door Will Not Close

1. AR switch-CLOSE.

Inoperative Boom/Receptacle Latching

If fuel shortage requires:

1. Boom operator-Inform of the need to accom

plish manual boom/receptacle pressure refuel
