6 procedures
- 1Affected throttleCUTOFF
- 2Affected engine fire warning lightCONFIRM
- 3Fuel crossfeedCLOSE (isolate affected side)
- 4Boost pump (affected side)OFF
- 5Altitude / airspeedMAINTAIN on remaining engine
- 6Divert to nearest suitable field
- 7MAYDAYDECLARE on guard (243.0 MHz) and ATC
- 8Land as soon as possible
- 1Failed throttleIDLE then CUTOFF (if no restart possible)
- 2Operating engineMIL thrust
- 3AirspeedMAINTAIN 220+ KIAS minimum
- 4AltitudeMAINTAIN or establish best single-engine glide
- 5Jettison stores if necessary for performance
- 6Divert to nearest airfield
- 7Declare emergencyMAYDAY on ATC frequency
- 8Landing approachfly wider circuit, higher speed
- 1Hydraulic pressure (affected system)CONFIRM LOSS
- 2Flight controlsCHECK response on remaining system
- 3If both hydraulic systems fail: manual reversionENGAGE
- 4SpeedREDUCE to 250 KIAS or below in manual reversion
- 5Flight control inputs - DELIBERATE and smooth - manual reversion requires higher forces
- 6StoresJETTISON to reduce weight and control loads
- 7Divert to long runwayincreased landing distance in manual reversion
- 8Land as soon as practical
- 1AirspeedREDUCE to below 250 KIAS if possible
- 2AircraftWINGS LEVEL, positive altitude if possible
- 3Seat safety pinsCONFIRM removed (done during preflight)
- 4ThrottlesCUTOFF
- 5Canopy jettison handlePULL (or use seat ejection which auto-jettisons)
- 6Ejection handlePULL firmly between legs
- 7Eyes closed, head back, elbows in during ejection sequence
- 8Seat will auto-separate and parachute will deploy
- 1Throttle (affected engine)CUTOFF immediately
- 2FTIT - MONITOR - abort if above 700 C during start
- 3JFS switchOFF
- 4Allow engine to fully spool down before reattempting
- 5Hung start (RPM not increasing): throttleCUTOFF
- 6Wait 5 minutes minimum before attempting restart
- 7If engine does not light off by 25% RPM on second attemptabort and shutdown
- 8Notify crew chief of engine anomaly
- 1Both throttlesCUTOFF then IDLE (attempt airstart)
- 2Airspeed250-300 KIAS for best airstart probability
- 3JFS - ACTIVATE for assisted airstart (if altitude permits)
- 4If airstart fails: throttlesCUTOFF
- 5Best glide200-250 KIAS
- 6Suitable landing areaIDENTIFY immediately
- 7MAYDAYDECLARE on guard and squawk 7700
- 8If no restart by 10,000 ft AGLEJECT
