ENGINE FAILURE/FIRE DURING TAKEOFF:

Outboard engine - establish a bank angle of at least 5° away from the dead engine before reaching full rudder input.
Retract the gear. For loss of 2 engs. at heavy weight slowly and judiciously change flap setting to 40% (max lift over drag coefficient.)
Accelerate to Vmfr, retract flaps.
Climb - 250 to 10,000', then 260 to .65 Mach.
If additional climb performance is required, climb at Vmco until reaching at least 1000' AGL and clear of the obstacle. (Limit bank angle to 15°) (D/3-10)

RUNAWAY PITCH TRIM

(immediate actions):
  • Disconnect elec.& electrohydraulic pitch trim (both pilots)
  • Simultaneously apply manual hyd pitch trim in the opposite direction.
  • If trim movement continues: direct the flight eng.to depressurize hyd sys #2 and the copilot to select EMER on elevator sys #2 power control switch.
On takeoff, use an airspeed near rotate speed. After takeoff (cruise):airspeed - 200 KCAS
NOSE DOWN runaway: Back pressure, wings level, reduce power as necessary, spoilers as needed; 200 KCAS (D/3-72)

THRUST REVERSER UNLOCKED INDICATION:

CAUTION: If no a/c yaw is experienced, do not rapidly retard the throttle to IDLE START, as this may cause the TR to open.
  • Throttle affected engine - IDLE START
  • Close Thrust REV POS IND & THRUST REV PRESS VALVE PWR CB’S. Affected engine - scan
  • If TR scans closed & locked, continue at normal cruise speed. Maintain a periodic scan.
  • If it scans unlocked, begin descent to 20,000' or less. Conditions permitting, consider slowing to 200 KCAS in the descent. Refer to the Dash-1. (D/3-15)

UNCOMMANDED YAW IN FLIGHT:

  • Hold rudder pedals neutral
  • Rudder power switches (both) - OFF
  • Continuous Ignition - ON
  • Descend to Zone 1 or 2, as required (FL 250 will place you in zone 1) (D/3-75) (Chart located on page 3-122 of the Dash-1.)

RAPID DECOMPRESSION:

  • Oxygen mask - ON/100%
  •  Crew and troops - notified
  • Emergency warning horn - OFF
  • Therapeutic manual shutoff valve - OPENED
  • Seat belts - fastened
  • Emergency descent - as required

If structural damage is not suspected, the pilot may maintain 0.75 mach to 350 KCAS and 350 KCAS to sea level, unless restricted by section V, part 2. (missile hauling) (D/3-32)
Above 20,000' unpressurized, the radar magnetron and MFD unit (scope ) may arc. The function selector switch must be placed in STBY. The MFD unit(s) should be turned OFF. (D/1-182)

AUTO THROTTLES MALFUNCTION:

If autothrottles will not disconnect: ( Can be overpowered.)
  • depress the R/GA button (throttle force = 16 lbs.)
  • place ATS Arm switch OFF
  • open 115 VAC (23D) circuit breaker (D/3-78)

LANDING WITH FLAPS LESS THAN 75%: (D/2-78)

  • Obtain appropriate A/S and set marker. (T)
  • Check landing distance (jettison?). (T)
  • Fly wider/longer pattern with close A/S control. Do not allow A/S to decrease below APPR + 20 until inbound to the FAF (If zero flaps). (D/2-71)
  • Inhibit GPWS mode 4 after final config.
  • Flare is proportional to flap setting.
  • Touchdown at approach speed minus 15 knots.
  • Do not exceed 5° of bank at touchdown.
  • After the MLG are on the ground, go to REV IDLE.
  • After a 3-point attitude is established, deploy the spoilers. Reverse beyond reverse idle. (do not exceed the spoiler FLT limit until below 147 KCAS.
Technique for computing either approach flap airspeed or no-flap airspeed from full flap approach speed : " 535" :add 5 knots to (full flap) app.speed for an Approach flaps landing; add 35 knots for a no-flap landing.
X- wind limit: 25 knots ( training : 15 knots ) (A/9-4,5-3)

Technique for no-flap briefing: 0 1 2 3 4 5 10 15 25

0 - 0 Flap - 0 Flare
1 - 147 Ground Spoiler limit
2 - 2 gear down deploy thrust reversers
3 - 3 gear down deploy spoilers
4 - Inhibit mode 4 after configuration (now a checklist item)
5 - 5 degree max bank on touchdown
10 - Cross threshold at approach -10
15 - Touch down at -15 and max training crosswind
25 - Max non-training crosswind

3-ENGINE PROCEDURES:

  • Approach & landing same as for 4 engines, except for rudder trim and reversing techniques.

3-ENGINE GO-AROUND:

  • Same as 4-eng. G/A (except rudder trim, step on good engine, step on ball)
  • Set G/A EPR, Set flaps to APPROACH while assuming a climb attitude.
  • Positive rate of climb - GEAR UP.
  • Accelerate to Vmfr and retract the flaps.
  • If increased climb capability is needed, climb at Vmco. Do not exceed 15° bank when climbing at Vmco w/flaps at Takeoff/APPR. (D/3-10,45)

2-ENGINE PROCEDURES:

  • Airspeed - Approach speed (75% flaps) or 2-eng. Vmca, whichever is greater.
  • Configuration - Fly the approach with GEAR DOWN, flaps UP until approaching the glideslope.
  • Below 200 KCAS, and before APP + 30, place the RUDDER HI PRESS switch to OVERRIDE.
  • Fly Approach + 30, minimum, on base leg.
  • Do not reduce A/S below App + 20 until flaps are lowered to APPROACH.
  • Just prior to the glideslope, lower flaps to APPROACH. Slow to approach speed.
  • When landing assured, the flaps may be set to LANDING.75% flaps is recommended unless runway length becomes a factor. (Landing "assured" = on final approach within one mile with runway lights in sight and in a position to complete the landing safely.) (D/3-45,119

2-ENGINE GO-AROUND: (D/3-45)

  • Start before slowing below 2-eng. Vmca.
  • Set G/A EPR, establish a climb. Gear up, if able.
  • Maintain Vmco or Vmca, whichever is higher, w/flaps APPR. until a safe alt. is reached. Accelerate & flaps UP at Vmfr.
2-ENGINE CLIMB SCHEDULE: 220 KCAS to .45M; .45M to cruise alt. (D/3-10) 2-eng. climb data is NOT AVAILABLE. Final range should be computed upon reaching initial 2-engine cruise/step climb alt. 2-eng. gear down perf. data for climb & cruise is NOT AVAILABLE. (D/3-45)

EMERGENCY GO-AROUND:

1. Use normal go-around procedures:
     a) set G/A EPR
     b) flaps - APPROACH
2. If spoilers do not automatically retract,
     a) place EREO switch to EMER RETRACT.
WARNING: Do not rotate until rotate speed and G/A EPR is set. (D/3-37)

LANDING GEAR MALFUNCTIONS

The gear may be recycled to get an UP indication if the crew determines it is safe to do so. If any damage is observed, do NOT recycle the gear to obtain an UP indication.
For any gear malfunction: (1) visually inspect nose and main gear units because the indicators may not be connected properly. (2) Check the landing gear control circuit breaker (30R). If open, attempt to reset. If it will not reset or the problem appears to be an electrical malfunction, proceed with the Landing Gear Electrical Malfunction Checklist. All other gear malfunctions will be handled by the Landing Gear Emergency Extension Checklist. (D/3-37)
If uncommanded cycling of the landing gear is encountered, open the Landing Gear Control CB 30R. Cycling stops: proceed with the Landing Gear Electrical Malfunction Checklist. Cycling continues: proceed to the Landing Gear Emergency Extension Checklist. (D/3-37)

Two checklists to use:

Use the Landing Gear Emergency Extension checklist for: Hyd. system failure, Fuse failure, cycling gear that continues to cycle after pulling CB 30R. Use the Landing Gear Electrical Malfunction checklist for other cases.
After placing the landing gear handle DOWN:
  • Fuse Failure - One main gear stays up
  • MLG Selector Valve Failure - Both main gear stay up
  • NLG Selector Valve Failure - Nose gear stays up
  • Electrical Failure - All gear stay up

DITCHING

Landing gear UP for any ditching.
Power ON - final with Landing flaps at APPR -10; contact water at APP -20.At night, maintain APPR -10 until contact with the water.
Power OFF - maintain 178 KCAS or higher; extend flaps cautiously and at high RPM; flaps, trim & maneuver above 1000'. Slight nose high attitude and low sink rate until touchdown. (D/3-54)

WING ANTI-ICE OVERHEAT

Turn appropriate wing anti-ice switch OFF. If the overheat extinguishes within 30 seconds, cycle switch from OFF to ON for approx.15 sec.for anti-icing. Direct scanner to visually scan appropriate wing for evidence of fire or structural damage.

If the light does not extinguish ...

Turn all wing anti-ice switches OFF, then refer to section 3 of the Dash-1. (D/3-25)

FIRE HANDLES:

Pulling an engine fire handle accomplishes the following:
Bleed air into the nacelle is shut off by elec. closing the bleed air shutoff valve. Zone II doors are elec.closed. Gen. is de-energized & GLC is opened. Hyd. shut-off valves are elec closed. Ignition systems (both) are turned off. Fuel control shut-off valve elec. closed and shut-off valve in the pylon is mechanically closed. The agent discharge button is exposed. (D/1-241-242)

ELECTRICAL FIRE CHECKLIST (D/3-25-30)

(with techniques added [T])
1. OXYGEN MASK AND GOGGLES - ON/100%
  • Attempt to isolate the faulty circuit. Consider any previously malfunctioning equipment.
  • Have engineer get out the Dash-1 to run the checklist.
  • Turn over flying the aircraft to the copilot (he will have to fly cross-cockpit, & should notify ATC of the problem, request a block altitude, & direct clearance). Turn up the pilot's floodlights. Direct eng. to raise the cabin altitude to 10,000' with the auto controller. INS codes for overheat are in the 30's. INS is in left under-deck area; INS battery units are in the right under-deck area. Turn off any unneeded equipment - HFs, ADFs ??
  • Get a Nav or other crew member on the Engineer's long cord to relay info. from downstairs.
2. Inst. Power Switch - "EMERGENCY" (P)
  • Pause to see if the fire goes out (may be on Nav Bus 1, now depowered.)
3. Emerg. Press. Switches (emerg. DC bus) -"EMERGENCY" (P)
  • If there was a previous problem with the pack, you may not be able to move both switches to Emergency without losing pressurization. (consult with the eng.). If A/C master switch is in "BOTH" => take "both" emerg. pressurization switches to EMERG.; "L" => move only the Left switch; "R"=> move only the Right switch to EMERG... (T)
4. Att. Select and Mag Hdg Switches - "AHRS" (P)
5. Bus Disconnects - "OFF" (P,E)
  • Disconnect left to right, & do just the first 3 switches unless the situation dictates otherwise ... just don't forget to disconnect the 4th switch if the fire continues.
  • Note: After the 4th bus disconnect is turned off, the pilot's FSAS/INS CDU will be lost. Navigational capability is retained through use of the INS CDU on the navigator's panel.
  • Pause to determine if the fire is going out ...
  • If the fire is going out, go to the portion of the checklist that is subtitled: "when the fire goes out"...
  • If the fire is NOT going out, continue with the checklist...
6. Bus Disconnects - "NORMAL" (P,E)
  • (Reconnect the switches right to left.)
  • You are now committed to completing the rest of the checklist.
7. Emergency Press. Switches - "NORMAL" (P)
  • These switches are on the Emergency Bus Panel.
8. Instrument Power Switch - "OFF" (P)
9. Att.Select and Mag Heading Switches - "INS" (P,CP)
10. Pilot/Eng. Interphone Sources - "SWITCHED" (P)
  • Pilot will switch to the jump seat cord (large end to large end).
  • Have liaison switch to Nav's cord or loadmaster's cord.
11. Emer Bus AC Power Feeder CB's - "OPEN" (P)
12. Emer Bus DC Power Feeder CB - "OPEN" (P)
        (Do this even if the fire went out in the previous step.)
13. Depressurization - "AS REQUIRED" (P)
  • Normally, depressurization will not be required since all buses have been depowered during the checklist. However, if depressurization is required, direct the eng. as to the method to be used (auto or manual controller as the situation dictates). Do not turn conditioned air off as this will cause the flt. sta. to rapidly fill with smoke.
  • When the fire goes out : After the faulty component/bus has been identified (and depowered w/ switches and/or circuit breakers ... removed, if possible), restore electrical power to the operational buses as follows:
14. Cabin Pressure Controller - "As Required" (P)
15. Instrument Power Switch - "NORMAL" (P)
16. Emerg. Press. Switches - "NORMAL" (P) These switches are on the Emerg. Bus Panel.
17. Att Select and Mag Hdg Switches - "AS REQ'D" (P,CP)

3. Pressurization can be maintained by placing the right EMER PRESS switch to EMER.( When operating with the Air Conditioning Master Switch in the RIGHT position, the aircraft will depressurize when the cabin control fan comes on unless the air cond. master switch is returned to the BOTH position.) (D/3-83)
WARNING: The rudder automatically reverts to the high pressure mode. Above 160 KCAS, exercise extreme caution during rudder application, as full rudder deflection could cause structural damage. (D/3-74,83)
SUMMARY: Want to land at a field with good weather, a long runway. No lights if at night.
