Introduction
Scope.
This checklist contains the operators checks to be accomplished during normal and emergency
operation

Symbols Preceding Numbered Steps.

* Indicates step is mandatory for all through flights

(use starred items to get rolling quickly with only the minimum necessary steps)

N Indicates items may need to be specially managed as applicable to night flight

♦ Indicates items to be checked/performed if starting flight from TAXI or T/O

O Switch position/procedure dependant upon installed equipment

► Indicates a detailed procedure for this step is included in the Performance Section of
this checklist.

Warnings, and Notes

The following definitions apply to Warnings, and Notes found throughout the checklist

WARNING
Operating procedures, techniques, etc., which if not
followed carefully could result in aircraft destruction,
another death in your precious logbook, and a mission
failure.

NOTE
Operating procedures, techniques, etc., which is
considered essential to emphasize

Use of words Shall, Will, Should, and May

The word Shall or Will is used to indicate a mandatory requirement. The word Should is used to
indicate a non-mandatory desired or preferred method of accomplishment. The word May is
used to indicate an acceptable or suggested means of accomplishment

Use of words, As Desired and As Required

As Desired allows pilot preference in switch/control positioning
As Required indicates those actions which vary based on mission requirements

3 External stores Jettison
4 Throttle Idle
5 JFS Start 2 Airspeed < 400kts, altitude < FL20

10 Throttle As required
11 EPU switch Off, then NORM
11 Heading Best route to FLOT when practicable

WARNING
A spooldown relight can be accomplished without
regard to altitude or airspeed IF THE PILOT REACTS
BEFORE RPM DECAYS BELOW 23%. Simply move
the throttle to midrange and toggle the Throttle Idle
Detent. Reset EPU after start. Learning to quickly
identify the flameout is crucial to this method and to
your survival.

Note
BA (Burst Altitude) is critical and generally selected based on target
density at the target site. Select a higher BA to achieve a larger / less
dense dispersion of bomblets (larger foot print). Select a lower BA for
a smaller more dense bomblet dispersion, e.g. the targets are packed
closely together

Neo's excellent custom program will keep you in the fight
longer by conserving your EWS stores. It is optimized for
the CMDS MANUAL mode operations under which most
missions take place. The complete philosophy and
operation paper can be found at www.72nd.org.

PERFORMANCE DATA, HUD

HUD Management

SCALES Selects vertical velocity, velocity, altitude and heading scales

and the Bank Angle Indicator (BAI) for display in the HUD.

FPM Selects attitude bars and Flight Path Marker (FPM). Set
to ATT/FPM position for normal operations

DED DATA Displays DED data in the lower portion of the HUD

VELOCITY Selects Calibrated (CAS), True (TAS), or Ground Speed (GS)

ALTITUDE Selects barometric, radar, or automatic altitude display options

BRIGHTNESS Enables levels from off to full intensity for DAY, off to half
intensity for NIGHT and automatic for AUTO
RETICLE Displays manual bombing reticle in HUD. Only operates when
manual bombing mode is selected in SMS. Used during FCC
failure and will display bombsight even with HUD failure.
