Pre-flight procedures including exterior and cockpit inspection of the U.S. Navy T2V-1 SeaStar.
Pre-flight procedures of the U.S. Navy T2V-1 SeaStar. Exterior inspection: Two airmen approach the plane to conduct a normal walk around inspection which includes highly important and unique inspection points. The airmen manually retract and extend the leading edge wing flap to check for freedom of movement. They inspect the ram air orifices in the nose of each tip tank, speed brake, fuel dump outlet, boundary layer control orifice, position of snubber piston, main hydraulic reservoir, and upper left fuselage. Interior inspection: The pilot in the cockpit. He inspects the engine, aircraft performance, navigation and fuel controls. He checks the electrical, navigational, air conditioning and lighting controls on the right panel and console. Pre-start Cockpit Check: The pilot adjusts the tip tank switches, oxygen supply valve, main fuel shut off switch, battery generator switch, flight instrument power switch, cabin pressure and temperature switches.
Normal operating procedures including start, take off, stall and landing of the U.S. Navy T2V-1 SeaStar.
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.
