Pilot: Joseph A. Walker
Subject of Test: High angle of attack stability.
Launch: Mud Lake
on mag heading 177° - ASAS "Armed."
No. | Time | Alt | V | a | Event |
1. | 0 | 45 | 790 | - | Launch - light engine, increase to 100% T. Rotate until 2 g is attained. |
2. | 23 | 48 | 1800 | 10 | Maintain 2 g until q = 30°, maintain q = 30° |
3. | 37 | 60 | 2400 | 4 | Pushover to 0 g. |
4. | 80 | 96 | 5500 | 0 | Increase a until » 1.5 g is attained. |
5. | 84 | 99 | 6000 | 5 | Burnout - pushover to 0 a roll to 80° left bank. |
6. | 104 | 107 | 5800 | 0 | Pullup to 23° a (trim dh » -25) - perform da pulse at pilot's discretion. |
7. | 127 | 105 | 5000 | 21 | Roll to 80° right bank. |
8. | 139 | 101 | 4500 | 20 | Roll out on heading 177°, disengage roll SAS. |
9. | 157 | 100 | 4000 | 17 | Reset SAS - pushover to 0 a for 5 sec. - pullup to 10° a. |
. | |||||
10. | 242 | 89 | 3000 | 10 | Pushover to 0 a for 5 sec. pullup to 10° a. |
11. | Vector to high key for landing, start jettison (H2O2 "OFF"). | ||||
12. | Pressurize, check ventral armed. | ||||
13. | Before APU shutdown, cycle controls, retract flaps, set stabilizer trim to zero, push-to-test ball nose, data "OFF". |
Notes:
2. q vernier will be set at 30°, a crosspointer will null at 23°.
3. Emergency lakes, Grapevine and Cuddeback
4. No in-flight jettison check
2. Malfunction of inertial platform attitudes
3. Malfunction of ball nose
4. Malfunction of radio, radar or microwave
2. If radio or radar fail proceed as planned .
3. For inadvertent engine shutdown:
Prior to 35 sec, return to Mud Lake
35 - 60 sec, Grapevine
60 - 65 sec, Cuddeback
Greater than 65 sec, Rogers
Two engine starts may be attempted
4. For yaw damper failure do not increase a above 15°.
5. For total pitch or roll damper do not increase a above 12°.
6. For SAS failure to ASAS do not increase a above 20°.
7. For ball nose failure, proceed through burnout, fly q = 0° after burnout.
8. For delayed engine start add two seconds to pushover.
9. For attitude
failure during powered portion: If horizon is not visible pushover to 0
g reduce to 75% T proceed to Edwards.
