เด็ดปีกบางกอกแอร์เวย์สเขมรไม่ต่อสัญญาการบิน ปูทาง “แคมโบเดีย” ทำแทน หนุนท่องเที่ยวในประเทศ

“กัมพูชา” ประกาศไม่ต่อสัญญากับสายการบินบางกอก แอร์เวย์ส ที่ให้บริการเที่ยวบินในประเทศเพื่อเปิดทาง “แคมโบเดีย อังกอร์ แอร์” สายการบินแห่งชาติแห่งใหม่บินแทน เพื่อส่งเสริมการท่องเที่ยวภายในประเทศ

สำนักงานบริหารการบินพลเรือนของกัมพูชาเปิดเผยว่า จะไม่ต่อสัญญากับสายการบินบางกอกแอร์เวย์สของไทย ในการให้บริการเที่ยวบินภายในประเทศของกัมพูชา เมื่อสัญญาหมดอายุในเดือนหน้า

ปัจจุบันสายการบินบางกอก แอร์เวย์ส ได้ให้บริการในเที่ยวบินระหว่างกรุงพนมเปญ และเมืองศูนย์กลางการท่องเที่ยว เสียมราฐ ซึ่งเป็นที่ตั้งของนครวัด เป็นประจำทุกวัน มาตั้งแต่ปีที่แล้วหลังจากสายการบินเสียมราฐ แอร์เวย์ส ไม่สามารถให้บริการได้ เนื่องจากความวิตกด้านความปลอดภัย

นายเมา ฮาวันนัล เลขาธิการแห่งรัฐ เพื่อสำนักงานบริหารการบินพลเรือน กล่าวว่า รัฐบาลจะไม่ต่ออายุข้อตกลงกับสายการบินบางกอก แอร์เวย์ส ที่กำลังจะหมดอายุลงในเดือนตุลาคมที่จะถึงนี้ และได้แจ้งให้ทางบางกอก แอร์เวย์ส ทราบเกี่ยวกับการตัดสินใจแล้ว

ทั้งนี้ แม้จะไม่มีการเปิดเผยรายละเอียดที่นอกเหนือจากนี้ แต่ก็เป็นการตัดสินใจที่มีขึ้น หลังจากกัมพูชากำลังส่งเสริมสายการบินแห่งชาติแห่งใหม่ แคมโบเดีย อังกอร์ แอร์ ที่เปิดตัวเมื่อเดือน กรกฎาคม เพื่อส่งเสริมการท่องเที่ยวภายในประเทศ

ทั้งนี้การท่องเที่ยวเป็นหนึ่งในแหล่งรายได้เพียงไม่กี่แหล่งที่นำเงินตราต่างประเทศ เข้าไปยังประเทศที่ยากจนอย่างกัมพูชา ที่เพิ่งจะฟื้นตัวจากสงครามกลางเมืองที่ยาวนานเกือบ 3 ทศวรรษ ที่ยุติลง เมื่อปี 2541 และกัมพูชาต้องการดึงดูดนักท่องเที่ยวให้ได้ปีละ 3 ล้านคน ภายในปี 2553 อย่างไรก็ตาม มีสายบินต่างชาติหลายแห่ง รวมทั้งเจแปน แอร์ไลน์ส และกาตาร์ แอร์เวย์ส ที่มีเที่ยวบินตรงถึงกัมพูชา ปัจจุบัน บริษัท การบินกรุงเทพ จำกัด หรือสายการบิน บางกอก แอร์เวย์ส มีนายแพทย์ปราเสริฐ ปราสาททองโอสถ หรือ หมอเสริฐ เป็นเจ้าของ

แหล่งข่าวจากสายการบินบางกอกแอร์เวย์ส ยอมรับว่า การที่ สำนักงานบริหารการบินพลเรือนของกัมพูชาจะไม่ต่อสัญญากับสายการบินบางกอกแอร์เวย์สนั้น เป็นเฉพาะเที่ยวบินภายในประเทศของกัมพูชา หรือ เส้นทางพนมเปญ-เสียมราฐ จึงไม่กระทบมากกนัก และ เส้นทางดังกล่าวเป็นเส้นทางที่บางกอกแอร์เวย์สได้เปิดให้บริการแทนสายการบินเสียมราฐ แอร์เวย์ส ที่หยุดทำการบินไปตั้งปีที่แล้ว

“หลังจากเสียมราฐ แอร์เวย์ได้กลับมาทำการบินใหม่อีกครั้ง ทำให้เส้นทางดังกล่าวของบางกอกแอร์เวย์สต้องหยุดบิน แต่จะไม่ส่งผลกระทบอะไรกลับมา เพราะเป็นเส้นทางบินภายในประเทศเส้นทางเดียวเท่านั้น ส่วนยอดการจองตั๋วที่ผู้โดยสารจองกับบางกอกแอร์เวย์สในช่วงเดือนต.ค.52นี้ เชื่อว่าคงไม่มีปัญหา โดยจะหารือกับสายการบินเสียมราฐให้รับบริการไปแทน” แหล่งข่าว กล่าว

สำหรับเที่ยวบินของบางกอกแอร์เสย์สที่ทำการบินไปยังประเทศกัมพูชาในขณะนี้นั้น มีจำนวนทั้งสิ้น 9 เที่ยวบินต่อวัน ประกอบด้วย เส้นทางกรุงเทพ-พนมเปญ จำนวน 3 เที่ยวบินต่อวัน และ เส้นทาง กรุงเทพฯ-เสียมราฐ จำนวน 6 เที่ยวบินต่อวัน ซึ่งยังคงให้บริการตามปรกติ ส่วนเส้นทางพนมเปญ-เสียมราฐ นั้น ที่ผ่านมาบางกอกแอร์เวย์ส ได้ทำการบินทั้งสิ้น 3-4 เที่ยวบินต่อวัน

In the past, Air Force, also said no schools produce top military commission to require their troops from the Army Navy or university in the country and abroad. Which does not meet the needs of the Air Force mission to the growth and rapid evolution in the Year 2493 Air Chief Marshal raised supernatural power enhancement Npakas c Company (at that rank), the air commander. And senior team captain of the Air Force. Jointly established the school said the ship by air take ideas from Air Marshal Phraya glorify air. “Parent of the Air Force,” who intended that the decisive. “We will have our school, said the military commission itself has to give.”

School board said the weather has been the establishment in May 7th, 2496 under the Education Department strategist Air Force and Air Force as the government raised the Air Force report on October 17, 2534 by Government Gazette Vol 108 of 183 steps down Oct. 17, 2534. and to improve the organization of the Air Force official. Divided by the Royal Air Force official Government Gazette Vol 112 BC by 2534 when a 50 to December 6, 2538 school board said the weather has changed as a headquarters unit to meet Air Force training study to date.

School board says the weather’s philosophy that education. “Produce graduates who are said top military commission. Equipped with knowledge of moral responsibility. Military leadership. And integrity. Both physical and mental “philosophy has made education a top priority of the school board said the air as”.

School sources said the air boat manufacturing graduates. To a captain’s commission Floor Air Force said the military commission that class graduated from the school board said the weather should be equipped with knowledge, moral responsibility. Military leadership. And both physical and psychological integrity. Ready to perform the intent of the Air Force and the nation “with the following objectives.

1) To produce graduates to top military commission said that with quality knowledge and moral responsibility. Military leadership. And both physical and psychological integrity.

2) to source technical capacity to learn. Development of knowledge, or invention of research and development to meet the problems of the Air Force.

3) to develop the Air Force troops. To be knowledgeable in bringing new technologies to improve the performance better.

On the opportunity. School, said the air boat reached 50 years old in 2546 (May 7, 2546) Air Force currently has approximately 46,000 employees troops fraction (data from Department of Air Force troops) have a total of about 300 aircraft, representing a ratio is. General Aviation to approximately 150: 1 (in the ratio of the 150 troops representing pilots about 3 to 5%) was a very low proportion compared with Army troops and Air Force have also lost the opportunity to use. Personnel from the Air Force flight training invested in education, including a number of cases to the pilot of Air Force aviation. And leave to professionals with various private companies, etc..

As prescribed in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand Year 2540 Section 72 Section 5 requires that “the State must provide the military is to defend freedom. Security of the State. Royal institution. National interests. And democracy is the king as head. And to develop the country “.

Air Force’s mission is. “Preparation is Air Force and Defense” by organized troops in the management of the pilot for maximum efficiency. The policy on the Air Force. Plans for students Etriimthar The Air Force last year that 44 to 48 can get into education, annualized from 100 to 130 people the exact amount depends on the policies of the Air Force each year. These air cadet. Air Force to support training as a disciple of aviation cadet flying to the air. Through the examination. And beauty that vision test (APTITUDE TEST) at flight schools กำแพงแสน approximately 65 people each year only part that can not be a pilot can still develop with their duties to support operations in other areas of the Air Force. their education, including engineering, aircraft and aviation. Mechanical Engineering. Electrical engineering. Civil Engineering. Industrial Engineering. Computer engineering. Computer field. And materials science, etc. show that current Air Force can not bring out the potential use of pilots prior to full retirement is official. Therefore can not be knowledge about various aviation has evolved to. Possible due to the development of aeronautical and aerospace pupil graduates from training schools, aviation กำแพงแสน inconsistent with the requirements of Section 21 Thai Air Force Bureau, Department of the Ministry of State Enterprises and other agencies of government. May be specialized education needs and expertise of the agencies have. With regard to education policy and standards of the national guidelines, procedures and conditions prescribed in the Ministerial Regulations.

Why is the development of knowledge about aviation pilots to develop the potential of the Thai Air Force.

Because Air Force has lost the opportunity to be knowledge. Ability and experience of people who graduated from. School, said the air boat, especially people with knowledge about aviation. This requires training of Air Force education, budgets and contributions to various charges relatively high educational training in aviation training is a specialized education that require extensive time. And require some time in training until they can replace the assigned mission. Or more will use the remaining time is in practice less. When the people and the government then retire. There is no opportunity to transfer knowledge and experience, their ability is.

Currently developing knowledge about flying internationally to develop very quickly. Thailand is waiting for corporate control, and care about the business of aviation in the Department’s overall air transport. Ministry of Transport. As well as other private flight schools to establish knowledge about aviation to anyone interested in the various courses is noteworthy that. Executives of private companies, most have not graduated from school, said the air boat, but the flight instructor who holds the majority of the school said the air boat.

Therefore, the development of Air Force personnel to have knowledge about the airline must consider factors that influence the various gods and people and technology ideas and views on the aviation model overall. Particularly valuable group of people in flight to retire on schedule but the ability and experience to know not to get a retirement. Which can raise the potential of knowledge on the nature of the flight is in the Think Tank to develop and build on knowledge about the flight from fathers to carry on to future generations.

Benefits that will be developed from knowledge about aviation pilots to develop the potential of the Thai Air Force.

1. To form knowledge about aviation that can be defined as the development of policies and guidelines related to the flight personnel of Air Force in the future.

2. To learn about flight training appropriate for Air Force personnel.

3. The process of coaching education in the characteristics of an international flight. To benefit the education and training approach in action on the flight of Air Force.

4. Make known to potential charges in the training of education personnel in the development of Air Force flight.

5. Thai Air Force has been involved in leadership knowledge about aviation. Would cause the development of business aviation in the Army overall. And the nation continue.

>> Benefits that will be developed from knowledge about aviation pilots to develop the potential of the Thai Air Force.

1. Development of international aviation.

Human inventor is trying to make his flight has long been. Buddhist era until about the year 2326 has created a balloon made of cloth balls and then packed into hot inside. Lighter hot air balloon takes balls to rise in air. Thereafter, it is contained hydrogen. The lighter than air, more heat into the air instead. Which can take hundreds of people travel to other remote, called “balloon”, but the balloon or balloon is somewhat disadvantages. When strong winds hit balloon or storm damage will be easy. Also, gas contained within a flammable gas that easy. And cause a fire balloon litter of passengers as the case of balloon name Linden Hill Blakemore (Hindenberg) to the sad drama already. Make the balloon less anywhere. While the invention has created more aircraft. Before people will build the aircraft has been flying off the engine. Man has built a glider can glide to fly far has not come before.

Buddhist era to the year 2440 American Wright brothers, family name and number on William William Wright helped design, install turbines and aircraft flight test successfully the first time in the world. The plane looks like a glider in the shape of the Wright brothers, a family that has been the creation and development of turboprop aircraft engines installed together more.

In World War 1 started with the first aircraft in combat is the only aircraft flying front view of the enemy. Later, pilots of both parties to develop more powerful by bringing guns and bombs onto aircraft in contact with. Aircraft has become a weapon that damage to the enemy very well. And thereby create a plane out in World War 1 more.

Results from competition created in World War 1 aircraft makes flying more people to progress. When war settlement has been bringing their aircraft to use as many of the postal items to send and receive messages – sent passengers from one to another faster than other large aircraft fleet has been created to take people. to have many more. And can fly far more Buddhist era and in 2470 the name American pilot Charles Lyn Blakemore pilot name to Spirit of St. Louis Airport travel far from New York. USA. Across the Atlantic to Paris. France. During the day, is difficult.

Buddhist era in the 2482 World War 2 was also now being used by many aircraft like the beginning of war, combat aircraft that brought together all the aircraft turbines. But the late war has created fighter jet has successfully used by Germany. Germany has been using fighter jets, which are faster than propeller aircraft in the war time.

Building by a Chinese rocket begins hundreds of years. But building a large rocket which was used in World War 2 Germany is to build a rocket V-1 and V 2 was used in battle. This is the actual implementation of the rocket used for the first time. And a competitive template to create more space rocket in the time to come.

After World War 2 calm down, USA. And in the Soviet Union. Conquer the parties are seeing the importance of the missile path is created between males vie for German rocket back to help build the rocket in his country. To be out in space on October 4 Buddhist era Soviet Union in 2500 to create a rocket and sent the first satellite Nick Name Inc. need 1 more key to successful space is the world’s first. Since then, the satellite has sent many satellites the United States. And the Soviet Union into space on April 12 Buddhist era 2504 the Soviet Union sent the first human U Series A name check to check the print space and back down to earth our security.

On July 20 Buddhist era 2512 is the date of the human dream to fly to the moon is a reality. When the vehicle sent Apollo 11 Astronaut Neil A. Name. Armstrong is first man to step on the moon by saying that. “This is a small step for one. But a great step of mankind “are also building spacecraft that can fly up to the outside world and leave room. Or trials in the space and then gliding back down to earth as Space Shuttle fleet want Stern million motor vehicle District of Columbia, Discovery, etc. Coffee site, as well as creating a space station floating above sent to our world. To try to live in space, such as wife’s and the Soviet Union Hotel precipitate interface. Sky แล็ year of the United States. As well as countries in Europe, InfoSpace will send up to a year. In addition to sending a spacecraft out to explore further become increasingly like Galileo and manned vehicle Waikiki, which no human control to browse Mars. Drug delivery vehicle Majestic Beach Pictures to browse Saturn, etc..

Thailand operates a satellite “Thai sharp 1″, which is Thailand’s first satellite built by the United States. Up to space in 2537 to the Buddhist era in communications, in particular.

FAA Requires Airbus To Change Pitots September 4, 2009

FAA Requires Airbus To Change Pitots

The FAA has issued a final Airworthiness Directive that requires replacement of certain Thales Avionics pitot probes (like that flown on the crashed Air France Flight 447 and 43 other Airbus A330 and A340 model aircraft currently flying) with Goodrich probes in order to prevent airspeed discrepancies that “could result in reduced control of the airplane.” Use of the Thales model has resulted in “reports of airspeed indication discrepancies while flying at high altitudes in inclement weather conditions,” according to the FAA. Published Thursday in the Federal Register, the final rule does not make mention of the Air France flight that transmitted via its Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) that its pilots were faced with conflicting or unreliable air data while flying at 35,000 feet through weather before they crashed off the northern coast of Brazil in June, killing all 228 aboard. The crash did lead Air France pilots to push for replacement pitot probes after they became aware that other aircraft flying with the Thales probes had also experienced incorrect airspeed indications. According to the FAA, the specific Thales Avionics pitot probe “has not yet demonstrated the same level of robustness to withstand high-altitude ice crystals as Goodrich pilot probes P/N 0851HL,” which the agency now requires as a replacement.

The NTSB in June began investigating two incidents involving faults with the Airbus’ Air Data Reference System. In at least one of those cases, the autopilot and autothrust had disconnected due to problems with the system. ACARS data showed the Air France flight’s autopilot had disengaged prior to the crash but it has not been determined if that occurred automatically or as the result of pilot action.

Posted by haadcheew in : Airline, Informativeness , add a comment

Airline Alliances

Airline Alliances are agreements formed by several airlines to establish a cooperation in the global aviation industry. This cooperation helps the airlines better their performance with respect to air transport and customer service. Though the degree of cooperation differs between alliances, an airline alliance is definitely more helpful for small airlines.

There are three major international airline alliances namely SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Oneworld. One of the modern alliance is that formed by cargo airlines. This alliance is known as WOW Alliance. Details about each alliance is given below:

· SkyTeam: SkyTeam transports more than 400 million passengers every year and serves about 845 destinations. Its members include Air Europa, Air France, Alitalia, Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Continental Airlines, Czech Airlines, KLM, Delta Airlines, Korean Air and a few other carriers. The alliance covers a large number of cities in every continent of the world.

Takeoff / Departure August 15, 2009

Takeoff / Departure

As with the landing pattern, the takeoff is one of the most critical phases of flight because your allowable margin for error is extremely small, so your preflight planning of takeoff performance parameters must be accurate. The aircraft performance data in Part XI of the T-45 NATOPS contains several charts to help you calculate expected takeoff performance.

NORMAL TAKEOFF

After you complete the takeoff checklist in the hold short area, check the windsock and request takeoff clearance.

When you are cleared for takeoff, ensure proper wingtip clearance and remember to practice proper tail pipe courtesy when exiting the hold short area. Position your aircraft on the runway by lining up on the runway centerline. Taxi straight ahead a short distance to ensure that the nose wheel is straight. Once in position, verify that the ADI and HSI are properly aligned with the runway. For T-45C, the recommended configuration is to set the ADI display on the left MFD and the HSI display set on the right MFD to keep the FD ADI on the same side of the instrument panel as the standby AI and the analog flight instruments. hile holding the brakes, advance the power to MRT and cycle the flight controls. Check that engine rpm,

EGT, and fuel flow are within limits. Also check that no warning (red) or caution (amber) amps are illuminated on the WCP. Use your peripheral vision to watch for any aircraft movement while checking engine nstruments. Check time of takeoff and, with IP concurrence, release the brakes. Use NWS to maintain irectional control until the aircraft is airborne.

It is imperative to utilize primarily an outside scan during the takeoff phase in order to detect and correct any line up deviations as early as possible, however, at the selected distance marker, check your line speed to ensure that your aircraft is accelerating as expected and has achieved the predicted speed. Aborting at the maximum abort speed will require you to use optimum braking techniques to stop the aircraft on the remaining runway.

Begin your rotation 5-10 KIAS prior to your predicted takeoff airspeed. Rotate the nose to 10 degrees (or 17 units AOA, at 120 KIAS) and allow the aircraft to fly off the runway (don’t exceed optimum AOA). When safely airborne, call to raise landing gear. Maintain the initial climb attitude and accelerate to flaps/slats up speed and call to raise the flaps at 140 KIAS. Remember, gear, flaps, and slats must be up and locked prior to 200 KIAS. You will be required to receive acknowledgement from your IP prior to raising the gear and flaps, and report over the ICS, “Gear and flaps up prior to 200.”

NOTE: Once gear indicated up and locked (less than 200 KIAS), check gear seated in proper uplock detent by applying light force (less than 6 lbs) directly down (do not pull out). Once completed report “handle checked.”

As the aircraft accelerates, hold your climb attitude and trim out stick pressure. As the flaps/slats come up, a small increase in pitch will be required to avoid settling.

CROSSWIND TAKEOFF

As you know, maintaining directional control during crosswind takeoffs is more difficult than during normal takeoffs. Depending upon conditions, you could find yourself heading toward the edge of the runway if you haven’t made the proper control inputs.

LIMITATIONS

For an SNA solo flight or dual flight, adhere to the maximum crosswind limitations as listed in NATOPS or SOP.

PROCEDURES

To prevent the upwind wing from lifting, apply aileron into the crosswind during your takeoff roll and maintain directional control with NWS. As your speed increases, the control surfaces become more effective, so you need less aileron deflection. Maintain wings level at lift-off and center the rudder; after lift-off, establish a crab into the wind to track a course along the runway departure path.

ABORTED TAKEOFF

Once the decision to abort is made, initiate the abort according to NATOPS procedures. If you have any doubt about your ability to stop on the remaining runway, lower your hook. Under no circumstances should you delay your decision to abort because arresting gear is available. If you decide to take the gear, lower the hook so that it is down 1,000 ft prior to the arresting gear and attempt to take the gear on the centerline. However, if you are off center, it is better to engage the arresting gear straight ahead, parallel to the runway centerline, than at an angle. Due to the A/Cs tendency to hook skip at the field, it is recommended that backstick be applied just prior to the arresting gear. This should ensure a good “hook set.” When the aircraft is under control notify tower of your intentions.

NOTE: Off-center engaging limits by arresting gear type are listed in NATOPS.

Taxi Procedure August 14, 2009

Posted by haadcheew in : Informativeness, flight procedure , add a comment

TAXI PROCEDURES

When you are ready to taxi, give the remove chocks signal to the plane captain who will respond with the brakes on signal and then signal the ground crew, below the waist, to remove chocks or remove them himself. The plane captain then moves out in front of the aircraft and gives the move ahead signal. At this point, hold the brakes, release the parking brake, and after ensuring that your rudder pedals are centered, engage nose wheel steering, start your forward motion by releasing the pressure on the brakes and adding a little power.

CAUTION: If the EMER GEAR handle is not fully stowed, nose wheel steering authority may be diminished.

Use a maximum RPM of 70% to start movement. Once the aircraft begins moving, move ahead according to the plane captain’s directions. Be sure to follow his directions, and be prepared to stop at any time. Use the nose wheel steering to turn out of the chocks. Remember to reduce the power to IDLE and to observe tail pipe courtesy prior to turning. Maintain enough momentum to complete the turn—an aircraft allowed to stop midway in a turn will require excessive power to begin moving again. Adjust your turn to position the aircraft on the center of the taxiway. Control your taxi speed by tapping the brakes lightly—

don’t ride them. Once you are on the taxiway, the plane captain may pass control to a taxi director or give you a salute. If the plane captain salutes, return the salute and taxi on your own.

SAFETY CONCERNS

Always adhere to the following guidelines in your efforts to prevent unsafe practices.

* Do not blindly follow the taxi director. If in doubt, stop the aircraft and do not proceed until the situation is clarified. Remember that you, not the taxi director, are responsible for the safety of the aircraft.

* Parking areas are congested, so your taxi speed should be very slow. Check wingtip clearances to your own satisfaction.

* At IDLE, the T-45’s exhaust danger area extends 40 ft behind the aircraft and increases to 100 ft at military rated thrust (MRT). Exhaust blast must be directed so as not to injure personnel or damage other aircraft or equipment. Also be sure to avoid the exhaust blast of other aircraft and to provide sufficient lateral and longitudinal separation to preclude foreign object ingestion.

* Be sure to monitor the appropriate radio frequencies in order to receive the taxi directions and clearances issued by the control tower.

TAXIING

Taxiing a jet aircraft is a task requiring no less care on your part than actual flight. Don’t allow the combination of excellent forward visibility, hydraulic brakes, nose wheel steering, and tricycle landing gear to give you a false sense of security that could result in excessive taxi speed and careless lookout procedures. Even at IDLE, the T-45 may taxi at excessive speeds due to high residual thrust.

COMMUNICATIONS PROCEDURES

Now you’re ready to obtain taxi clearance. Call ground control and include the letter designation of the ATIS information you have received. When cleared by ground control, taxi to the runway on the taxiway centerline. The minimum distance between you and the preceding aircraft will be IAW NATOPS/SOP. Stop the aircraft at an appropriate spot in the hold short area closest to the painted hold short line and perform the takeoff checklist. When ready for takeoff, double-check that the canopy is down and locked and call the tower for takeoff. Repeat the clearance from the tower to avoid possible misunderstanding.

Post Start/Pre-TaxiProcedures August 14, 2009

Posted by haadcheew in : Informativeness, flight procedure , 1 comment so far

POST START/PRE-TAXI

After completing the post-start checks, perform the following

*RUDDER TRIM CHECK

*STABILATOR TRIM/STBY STAB TRIM CHECK

*AILERON TRIM CHECK (left/right)

*CONTR AUG BIT

*OBOGS BIT

Give the thumbs-up to the plane captain, who will then present the following signals (respond promptly to each):

*WIPE OUT COCKPIT

*FLAPS DOWN

*EXTEND SPEED BRAKES

*EXTEND LAUNCH BAR (IAW NATOPS, ensure NWS has been engaged prior to extending launch bar)

*EXTEND ARRESTING HOOK

At this point, the plane captain gives the hands out of the cockpit signal. Respond by raising your hands above the canopy rail to preclude inadvertently moving a switch or flight controls. The plane captain will then check the aircraft for hydraulic leaks and for proper configuration. When the plane captain reappears in front of the aircraft, he will give a thumbs-up and then the following signals:

*RETRACT LAUNCH BAR

*RETRACT SPEED BRAKES

*RETRACT ARRESTING HOOK

*RAISE FLAPS TO ½

NOTE: Remember to obtain ATIS for current weather and runway information, and receive your clearance prior to taxiing. After you have completed the above checks and are ready to taxi, give the plane captain a thumbs-up to indicate you are ready to taxi forward to the final checker. Again, keep your hands above the canopy rail as the final checkers complete their walkaround. The final checker inspects the aircraft for leaks and proper trim and flap/slat setting before giving you the THUMBS-UP and walking away from the aircraft. Stopping for the final checker is where you’ll also test your brakes for proper operation.
