Prestart¶
|
Wait for confirmation. |
|
CAUTION
Wings will move to emergency handle position regardless of
wing-sweep circuit-breaker (cb) position.
|
|
|
|
Check gear position indication down and transition light off. |
|
Coordinate with RIO.
Set brightness of the ACM panel and indexer lights during test.
The DATA LINK switch must be on to check DDI lights.
Makes L STALL and R STALL warning lights flash.
Verify RIO FUEL QTY.
|
|
Verify RIO seats armed. |
|
|
|
Verify consistency with loaded armaments. |
|
|
|
Order plane captain to stow boarding ladder and steps. |
|
Engine Start¶
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should have a higher deflection rate than LOW.
|
|
|
|
Switch is held in position automatically by solenoid
until engine is at roughly 50% RPM.
|
|
Will automatically actuate ignition system and fuel flow.
Light off (EGT temperature rise) should occur within 5-15 secs.
EGT temperature should peak around 40-50% and not exceed 890 °C
which constitutes a hot start.
|
|
If ENG CRANK stays at R manually set it to off before 60% rpm.
If START/VALVE caution light is still on, disconnect starter air.
|
|
At around 59% rpm. |
|
Before idle rpm. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will operate from flight side to maintain
combined side at between 2400-2600 psi.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verify cockpit airflow at all positions. |
|
Poststart¶
|
|
|
NO GO light should illuminate for about 1 sec before GO light illuminates.
When disconnecting AHRS light might illuminate momentarily.
Advise RIO test complete.
|
|
RUDDER AUTH light will not go out until reset by MASTER RESET pushbutton and PITCH and ROLL STAB AUG switches will have turned OFF. |
|
|
|
|
|
L ENG SEC light illuminates, left NOZ indicator points below zero.
L ENG SEC light goes out, NOZ indicator to 100%.
R ENG SEC light illuminates, right NOZ indicator points below zero.
R ENG SEC lights goes out, NOZ indicator to 100%.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do this at least two minutes before take-off. |
|
|
|
Coordinate with RIO and plane captain. |
|
As part of above test. |
|
First test partial extension and retraction, then full.
Check for fluctuations in stabilizer to verify integrated trim operation.
|
|
Check normal function and that transition light illuminates normally. |
|
|
|
If engaged, verify that autopilot disengages. |
|
|
|
|
FOR CV OPERATIONS OMIT STEPS 24 - 42. |
|
|
CAUTION - WING MOVEMENT
After moving handle to 20° (full forward), engage spider detent.
Stow handle and guard.
HZ TAIL AUTH light will illuminate momentarily coming out of OVSW.
|
|
|
|
According to situation. |
|
Check for full deflection and operation of outboard spoiler module.
Also check for 3° trailing edge up of stabilizer.
|
|
Verify full range of motion on control surfaces and normal speed and operation of said surfaces. |
|
Verify horizontal tail shift with DLC input. |
|
|
|
SPOILER light illuminates and all spoilers fall down.
GO light should illuminate with 1 inch of movement of stick in each direction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sweep does not stop at 50° immediately select AUTO. |
|
|
|
Check maneuver flap retraction. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CHECKLIST FOR CV RESUMES |
|
|
|
|
Ensure coarse gyro alignment complete before releasing parking brake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check IMU heading on HUD, VDI, HSD and BDHI. |

Checklists - RIO¶
Interior Inspection¶
|
Turn OXYGEN switch ON and check for airflow.
Turn OXYGEN switch OFF and check that airflow ceases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to squadron policy. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prestart¶
|
CAUTION
Starting WCS and or displays without external air can cause damage to those systems as external air is used for cooling when no on-board air is available.
|
|
Verify two-way communication between crewmembers and adjust volume. |
|
Set in accordance with mission parameters. |
|
|
|
Adjust console and instrument lighting if required. |
|
This is done when pilot selects LTS test on MASTER TEST switch.
NOTE When pilot selects INST test, RIO fuel counter should decrease to 2000 pounds and MASTER CAUTION, FUEL LOW and OXY LOW lights should illuminate.
|
|
Visually check that pilot locking tab is depressed. |
|
Verify that pilot is ready to close canopy. |
|
Inform pilot, ready to start. |
Engine Start¶
The RIO monitors pilot procedures and plane captain signals to ensure maximum safety during engine start sequence.
Poststart¶
Note
The RIO must ensure that the EMERG GEN check is completed before commencing poststart checklist.
The ECS (Environmental Control System) should run for at least 3 minutes before avionics and AWG-9 power-up.
|
Verify that AWG-9 COND light illuminates. |
|
Select AWG-9/AIM-54 if AIM-54 is loaded. Verify that AWG-9 COND light goes off and that AUTO BIT 2 is running (on TID). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select NORM and observe that TEST light
illuminates.
|
|
On TID. |
|
|
|
|
|
WP, FP, etc, according to mission. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All AWG-9 lights should illuminate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check DDD display.
