2. | 30 | 54 | 1800 | 11 | 550 | q = 39°, maintain q = 39°. |
3. | 80 | 139 | 5150 | 7 | 50 | Shutdown at 5150 fps, pushover to a» 0°. Engine Master "OFF." |
4. | 109 | 200 | 4650 | 0 | 9 | Check b = 0, heading vernier to "·Y." |
5. | 170 | 260 | 4300 | 0 | .8 | Peak altitude, extend speed brakes to 20°. |
6. | 188 | 255 | 4400 | 0 | 5 | q = -5°, maintain a = -5° to a = 22°. |
7. | 231 | 200 | 4750 | 10 | 9 | Heading vernier to "STANDBY." |
8. | 252 | 150 | 5000 | 22 | 36 | a = 22°, maintain a = 22° to g max = 4.6, max reentry q » 1200 psf, (dh » 25°). |
9. | 285 | 80 | 4200 | 15 | 1000 | H dot = -600, pushover to maintain -400, extend speed brakes to -35°, R. C. "OFF." |
10. | 310 | 70 | 3500 | 4 | 1400 | Cuddeback, vector to high key, speed brakes as required. |
11. | High Key - check flap and "Squat" circuit breakers in. Data calibrate, experiment switch "OFF." | |||||
Before APU shutdown, cycle flaps, set stabilizer trim to zero, data "Off." |
Notes:
2. Emergency lakes: Hidden Hills and Cuddeback.
3. Flight duration: Approximately 12 minutes.
4. Flight plan based on 58,750lb thrust - Engine (#107).
Total burn time at 100% = 83 sec.
Launch Wt. = 33,650lb
Burnout Wt. = 15,500lb
2. Malfunction of inertial platform.
3. Malfunction of ball nose.
3. Malfunction of either B.C.S.
5. Radio, radar
or T.M. malfunction.
Failure | Action | ||
1. | Radio or Radar | Proceed as planned. | |
2. | Total
damper any axis,
failure to fixed gain any axis (For roll failure turn yaw off) |
(a) | 0
- 30 sec.
Alternate Flight Plan. Proceed normally until t = 30 sec. At 30 sec. pushover to » 2° a and extend speed brakes to 35°. Shutdown at 5200 fps and retract speed brakes to 20° after shutdown. Vector to high key (q » 550 psf). Peak altitude » 130,000 ft. |
(b) | Attitude | (b) | Hold 11° until t = 30 sec., then proceed with alternate flight plan. |
(c) | Ball Nose | (c) | Same as alternate, except use » 0.1 g instead of 2° a. Heading vernier to "·Y." |
3. | Total
damper any axis,
failure to fixed gain any axis (For roll failure turn yaw off) |
(a) | 30
sec - S.D.
Pushover to 2° a and extend speed brakes when failure occurs. Shutdown at 5200 fps. Reenter at 20° a and 20° speed brakes. |
(b) | Attitude | (b) | Same as 3 (a). |
(c) | Ball Nose | (c) | Same as 3 (a) except use » 0.1 g instead of 2° a. Use q = 0 for reentry. |
4. | Total
damper any axis,
failure to fixed gain any axis (For roll failure turn yaw off) |
(a) | After
Shutdown
Proceed as planned, reenter at 20° a. (min.). |
(b) | Attitude | (b) | Proceed as planned. |
(c) | Ball Nose | (c) | Use q = -5° for reentry. |
