INTRODUCTION

FOR TRAINING ONLY

The DASH-2 is a training guide for C-141 pilots which consolidates important information from different sources and organizes for a quick review. The information is presented chronologically as often as possible, beginning with Flight Planning and proceeding through other phases of a typical mission until Landing. A review of the Bold Print emergency procedures and other critical action non-bold face procedures comes next, followed by cold weather procedures, limitations, systems, ERO procedures, and an FSAS start-up guide.
References have been given where possible.  The "code" for these references is as follows:
  • D = Dash - 1
  • P = Performance manual
  • A = AFI 11-2C-141 V3 (C-141 Operations)
  • F = AFI 11-202 (General Flight Rules)
  • I = 11-217 (Instrument Flying)
  • T = Technique
The first number given is the chapter, the second number is the page.  For example, (D/3-2) means the reference is the Dash-1, chap. 3, page 2.
Most of the information is basic and will probably not change significantly, but it would be a good idea to annotate changes in your printed copy when they do occur.
The DASH-2 is produced by the 702nd AS, USAF(R), McGuire AFB, NJ, and published for your use by your local DOT. Please submit any suggestions/corrections/etc., to: 702 AS (USAFR) McGuire AFB, NJ, 08641.
