CAUTION
Additional rudder input and bank will be required to control yaw when
selecting OVERRIDE. Illumination of ENG HOT light and high ITT on
properly functioning engine should also be anticipated.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Operation for several minutes in above normal temperature range will not
precipitate an immediate engine failure. However, ITT can reach 980°C and
some engine durability degradation will occur. Operation in above normal
temperature range for more than 15 minutes is not recommended.
At safe altitude and with airspeed above 150 KIAS (if possible):
5. Flaps – UP (EMER RETR if necessary).
6. Fuel flows – NORM if desired.
7. Perform ENGINE/APU FIRE as required.
END
END
It takes between 6,000 and 8,000 feet in steep dive (at least 30° dive
angle) with power off to gain windmill airstart speed from normal cruise
speed. If assisted start is unsuccessful, then windmill start may be
attempted, providing inoperative engine shows no signs of seizure or
other damage. ITT will rapidly fall to 150°C or below as airspeed
increases.
WINDMILL AIRSTART
Windmill air start is not recommended. However, if necessary:
1. Place aircraft in a dive to obtain and/or maintain sufficient windmill
start airspeed.
2. Bleed air switch – OFF.
3. Crossfeed switch – CROSSFEED.
When ITT below 150°C and inside the windmill start envelope:
4. Throttle(s) – MAX.
5. Engine operate switch(es) affected engine(s) - IGN
END
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
CON’T
At safe altitude and with airspeed above 150 KIAS (if possible):
7. Flaps - Up (EMER RETR, if necessary).
8. Perform ENGINE/APU FIRE procedure (EF-5), as required.
If approach is continued:
9. Airspeed -Maintain 150 KIAS plus 1 knot for each 1,000 pounds of
aircraft gross weight over 30,000 pounds.
10. Perform SINGLE-ENGINE LANDING procedure, and appropriate
ENGINE/APU FIRE procedure as time and circumstances permit.
END
SINGLE-ENGINE LANDING
1. Speed brakes – Close.
2. Flaps – Retract.
END
END
In certain situations, flight into the engine disturbance area, with the
throttles in idle, may cause the engines to stagnate at idle core RPM
without engine overtemp. This condition will not cause a MASTER
CAUTION light and the best course of action may be to leave one
engine running, shut down other engine to clear stall/stagnation, and
perform single-engine restart using APU. If engine is stalled/stagnated at
idle, there will be hydraulics available to power flight controls.
Cool engine until the ITT is below 150° C. Attempting restart with ITT
above 150° C will result in overtemp and may damage the engine to the
extent that usable power will not be available.
DOUBLE-ENGINE FAILURE
1. THROTTLES - OFF.
2. APU - START.
3. FLIGHT CONTROLS - MAN REVERSION.
4. LEFT ENGINE - MOTOR.
CON’T
Actuation of the ignition sequence between the time the APU switch is
moved to START and the APU RPM reaches 60% may preclude
ignition signals from reaching the engine. If ignition does not occur, stop
the ignition attempt and reinitiate the ignition sequence after the APU
RPM has reached 60% or greater.
END
Speeds shown are for aircraft gross weight of 30,000 pounds. Increase
all speeds 2KIAS for each 1,000 pounds over 30,000 pounds gross
weight.
FLAMEOUT LANDING
1. Landing gear handle - DOWN.
2. AUX LG EXT handle - PULL (gear may take up to 30 seconds
to extend).
3. Emergency brake handle - PULL.
4. High key - Gear down to 160 KIAS minimum (approximately
6,500 to 7,000 feet AGL).
5. Low key - 160 KIAS minimum (approximately 3,500 to 4,000
feet AGL).
6. Base key - 160 KIAS minimum (approximately 2,000 to 2,500
feet AGL). Plan final turn to touchdown at 1/3 point on runway.
7. Final approach - 150 KIAS minimum (wings level at or above
500 feet AGL).

• With the LANDING GEAR circuit breaker open, normal brakes, anti-
skid, and nosewheel steering will be inoperative. Pulling the emergency
brake handle will provide braking capability.
With the LANDING GEAR circuit breaker reset, normal braking, anti-
skid, and nosewheel steering are regained for landing.
CONTROLLABILITY CHECK
1. Attain safe altitude (minimum 5,000 AGL, if possible).
2. Reduce gross weight, if practical.
3. While slowing to less than 185 KIAS, check roll, pitch, and yaw
authority.
a. Perform series of turns not to exceed 30° bank using normal
rudder inputs.
b. Check pitch response up to ±10°.
c. Check yaw response up to ±5°.
4. Prior to commencing recovery while still at safe altitude, maintain
level flight, and make a series of turns duplicating the pattern and
control inputs that will be used to recover the aircraft.
5. Decide on landing configuration. If landing gear down desired:
CON’T
Touchdown speed is ten knots below computed final approach speed for
normal, no-flap, and single engine configurations. Final approach (gear
down) airspeed is based on 30,000 lbs. total landing gross weight. For
each additional 1,000 lbs. of fuel:
Main wheel tire ground rating 165 knots. If landing is attempted with
touchdown speed higher than 165 knots, tire failure may occur.

If the decision is made not to eject, landing with all gear up is most
desirable means of recovering rather than landing with abnormal gear

operating.

Point database and number, distance to steer point, actual TTG, and
delta time displayed on the HUD.
• If EGI fails, the EGI light on the NMSP, if selected, will go out and the
HARS ▲ light will light (indicating HARS is attitude source) if HARS
is available; and STR PT or ANCHR, if selected, will disengage.
• When the EGI fails or is turned off (with the CDU operational), the
HUD displays the corrected HARS magnetic heading (correction based
on time that EGI failed or was turned off), if EGI INS was in NAV
mode when EGI failed or was turned off. If EGI INS was not in NAV
mode when EGI failed or was turned off, the HUD displays the
uncorrected magnetic heading.
EGI FAILURE
1. NMSP - Verify HARS ▲ light on.
2. CDU - Verify EGI FAIL annunciation is displayed.
3. CDU - RESET.
a. Select SYS FSK.
b. Select RESET LSK.
c. If EGI status is N or F, press EGI LSK.

• When the EGI is turned off (with the CDU operational), the HUD
displays the corrected HARS magnetic heading (correction based on

• When the CDU fails or is turned off, disregard the steer point ID, steer
point database and number, distance to steer point, actual TTG, delta
time, altitude, airspeed, and magnetic heading displayed on the HUD.
• HSI and ADI steering can be driven by ILS, ADF, TCN, or TISL as
selected by the NMSP.
• When the CDU fails, the CDU screen will freeze, become blank, show
a flashing DISPLAY FAILURE, MBC FAIL, ADA FAIL, or
HARDWARE FAIL message.
• Cycling power to the CDU for more than 3 seconds will cause any
modified or created waypoints, flight plans, or LASTE pilot
preferences and weapons data to be lost.
• This action will not initiate an EGI INS alignment if EGI INS is in
NAV or NARF mode.
• HUD altitude and airspeed will not be available until the completion of
the CDU startup BIT test.
CDU FAILURE
1. AAP - Set CDU switch to OFF for at least 4 seconds.
2. AAP - Set CDU switch to ON.
3. If this corrects the problem, upon completion of CDU startup BIT test
and DTC upload (if DTC inserted and locked), CDU will be
configured to original turn-on defaults. Reconfigure CDU for mission
requirements (select next steer point, steering modes, etc., as
required). If no DTC, reenter mission initialization parameters.
4. Select desired operating modes on NMSP when alignment is
complete.
END

If CICU caution light is on:
1. CDU - Check for CICU NOT READY annunciation.
2. AAP - Set PAGE switch to OTHER.
3. CDU - Depress SYS key.
