Normal operating procedures including start, take off, stall and landing of the U.S. Navy T2V-1 SeaStar. Start: The plane on the runway. A crewman arrives with the air impingement car. He inserts the pipe into the air impingement inlet. The crewman gives a signal when the air impingement hole is secure. The pilot adjusts the battery operator switch and turns on the ignition. He moves the throttle to ignite and then to idle position. The exhaust gas temperature gauge. The pilot signals the crewman to disconnect the air impingement starter and adjusts the instrument power switch. Post-start Cockpit Check: The pilot checks the RMI for alignment, adjusts S2 compass controller, annunciator panel touch button, fire detector test switch, fuel quantity indicator button. He checks the communication, navigational, annunciator and left panel. He goes through the take off check list, moves the plane into position, advances throttle, inspects the tachometer, exhaust temperature, releases brake and taxis to the end of the runway. The plane taxis, pilot applies brake and rudder control and takes off. He raises the nose wheel, retracts the landing gear and flaps after take off. The plane in flight over clouds. Stall occurs. The attack angle gauge. Landing procedure: View of the runway. The pilot begins the let down, reduces power, extends the brake, lowers landing gear and flaps, and continues to reduce speed. Diagram of the runway depicting approach. The plane approaches the runway, touches down and lands.
Emergency operating procedures of the U.S. Navy T2V-1 SeaStar. The aircraft in flight. Simulation of ejection procedure. Pilot in the cockpit and view of gauges and flight controls. Pilot places his feet in the stirrups, sits erect in the seat with head braced against head rest. He pulls the emergency bail out cord, disconnects oxygen hose at the mask connection, and pulls down face curtain handle firing the canopy and ejecting the seat. He pulls the auxiliary canopy jettison handle and turns on the canopy open switch. In case this procedure fails, the pilot demonstrates a back up including adjustment of canopy interlock release handle, pulling of the face curtain to eject the seat through the canopy. Air start: The pilot moves the throttle to off position. View of altimeter as pilot lowers the plane to maximum altitude for an aircraft and assumes a glide. He drains the tail pipe of residual fuel and places the plane in a shallow dive. He adjusts the battery generator switch and holds position. Landing: A stylized illustration of the landing pattern depicts adjustment of glide path and approach. The plane approaches the runway, maintains speed, decreases altitude, retracts landing gear and flaps, and touches down.
Pre-flight inspection of the U.S. Air Force F-102A Delta Dagger interceptor aircraft. The plane on the runway. Crewmen nearby. The crew chief inspects the landing gear including ground safety pins, tires, landing light and high pressure air gauge. He checks for hydraulic and fuel leaks. Inspection of the armament door. The pilot climbs up to the cockpit, raises the canopy and inspects the seat belts and shoulder harness. He gets into the seat and inspects the switches and oxygen pressure. On the outside, he examines the flexi glass and wind shield. He climbs down.
Pre-flight inspection of the U.S. Air Force F-102A Delta Dagger interceptor aircraft. The crew chief checks the air intake surfaces, nose boom, dome and holes in the tip. He inspects the forward electronic compartment, fluid tank, filler cap and access door. He checks the landing gear including tires, nose steering unit, taxi light and nose gear door. Inspection of the battery, ground safety pins, circuit breaker panel, armament door, turbine blades, hydraulic reservoirs and gauges. Inspection of the wing surfaces, wing tips and position light. The tail inspection includes the skin, navigation light, vertical stabilizer and rudder, speed brake area, tail pipe nozzle and drag chute area. The crew chief climbs onto the plane and inspects the upper surface, dorsal fin, fuselage panels, fuel intake covers and the fuse. He then climbs back down.
Pre-flight inspection of the U.S. Air Force F-102A Delta Dagger interceptor aircraft. Plane on the runway. Crew chief performs power on checks in the cockpit. He climbs into the cockpit and inspects the lights, switches and gauges. Two crewmen check the engine compartment for fuel leakage under the plane. They close the panel after inspection and sign off the forms. The plane on the runway.
Loading and firing of Falcon air to air missiles from a U.S. Air Force F-102A Delta Dagger interceptor aircraft. Several men load Falcon missiles into an F-102A at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Three contractor representatives going over graphs and charts in a conference room. The representatives going up steps of the Convair General Office Building at San Diego, California. Two Convair technicians check electrical connections and firing circuit of a Falcon missile on flight line at Holloman AFB. They load a Falcon onto launcher of a F-102A and insert the ignitor into the motor. The rockets are drawn into the aircraft and the bay doors closed. The F-102A taxis on flight line and takes off. F-102Ain flight, bomb bay doors open. The Falcon missiles are extended and fired in two salvos of three each. F-102A flying to the right.
