Purpose of Flight: Pilot checkout, OPT Deg. Phase II system checkout, and · cross range indicator checkout.
Launch: Hidden Hills on magnetic heading 212°, SAS Hi-Lo-Hi (8-4-8), ASAS "ARMED", BCS "OFF", RAS "OFF". Heading vernier to "Standby." Ventral OFF.
Launch Point Coordinates:
36° 20' N, 115° 59' W
No. | Time | Alt | Vel | a | q | Event |
1. | 0 | 45 | 790 | 2 | 145 | Launch, light engine at 75%T, maintain 75% T. Rotate at 11° a until q = 30°. |
2. | 24 | 48 | 1550 | 11 | 580 | q = 30°, maintain q = 30°. |
3. | 40 | 58 | 2000 | 5 | 500 | Pushover to zero g. |
4. | 80 | 80 | 4350 | 0 | 800 | Increase a to maintain Hdot = 0. |
5. | 82 | 80 | 4500 | 4 | 870 | Shutdown, maintain Hdot = 0. |
6. | 92 | 80 | 4400 | 4 | 840 | Yaw damper to "Lo." Increase a to 10°, maintain a = 10° until Hdot = +600 fps. Perform moderate rudder step input. |
7. | 109 | 85 | 3800 | 10 | 480 | Hdot = 600 fps - pushover to » 5° a, roll into a 90° left bank, increase a to » 15° and perform several rudder step inputs. |
8. | 132 | 92 | 3350 | 15 | 270 | Peak altitude - decrease a to » 5°, roll to a 60° right bank, (maintain Hdot » -600 fps), increase a to » 15° and perform several rudder step inputs. |
9. | 175 | 82 | 3000 | 15 | 350 | Vector to Cuddeback, maintain Hdot » -400 fps. |
10. | 210 | 62 | 2600 | 6 | 700 | Cuddeback - maintain q and f within ±8°. |
11 | 215 | 61 | 2400 | 6 | 630 | Test Mode to Land, vector to High Key, Speed Brakes as required. Yaw Damper "OFF" at pilot's discretion. Perform several moderate rudder pulses. Yaw Damper "Hi." |
12. | High key - Check flap and "Squat" circuit breakers in. Engine Master "OFF." | |||||
13. | Before APU shutdown, cycle flaps, set stabilizer trim to zero, data "OFF." |
NOTES:
2. Emergency lake: Cuddeback.
3. Flight Duration: Approximately 9 minutes.
4. Flight plan based on 49,200# thrust at 75%.
Total burn time at 75% = 95 sec.
Launch wt. = 32,800#, Burnout wt. = 15,000#.
2. Malfunction of any SAS channel.
3. Malfunction of inertial attitudes or velocities.
4. Malfunction of Ball Nose.
5. APU gearbox pressurization malfunction.

|||
1. | Radio or Radar | Proceed as planned. | ||
2. | Total Pitch Damper | Proceed, pushover to 2° a at 40 sec. Vector to High Key after shutdown, do not perform pullup and roll maneuvers. | ||
3. | Total Yaw Damper | Same as 2. | ||
4. | Total Roll Damper | Same as 3 except turn Yaw Damper "OFF." | ||
5. | Attitude Failure | Use 6° a in place of 30° q at 24 sec. | ||
6. | Ball Nose | Proceed as planned. Rotate at 1.5g instead of 11° a. Heading vernier to "·y." Do not perform pullup and roll maneuvers. | ||
7. | Delayed engine light | Pushover to zero g at H = 56,000'. | ||
8. | Inadvertent
engine shutdown:
00 - 53 sec. Hidden Hills 53 - 62 sec. Cuddeback (2700 fps) 62 - Up Edwards (3200 fps) |
