FastCargo said:3) Arrivals. Single seat aircraft (at least T-38s) are now REQUIRED to have the appropriate STARS on board. If you don't (ie say 'unable') ATC can outright refuse you, or read you the STAR, then make you fly it anyway.
FastCargo said:For you old heads (ie me) the T-38C is what all T-38s (A and Bs) in the USAF (and some USN) is being converted to. Includes HUD, MFD, GPS, INS, TCAS, VHF, VOR, TACAN, UHF, radar altimeter. A second modification to the T-38C includes bigger intakes and redesigned exhaust...approx 20% increase in thrust at bottom end of envelope.
Well, I had an H3 at 370 in Europe and no one seemed to mind... and if they did who cares?HueyPilot said:The Herk is obviously non-RVSM...even if the older E and H models could cruise above 280, we'd slow everyone down so much that they'd kick us out of the upper FLs anyways.
NASA continues to lead the way for us as to what's possible with an aging aircraft. There has been concern at AETC over the Martin Baker seat as to how it fits and how it separates from the aircraft. As I understand it, we will also get det cord on the canopy. There may also a bit of a concern for you taller people who may become a wee bit shorter if you eject with the MB seat (not from the compression - but your new call sign could be "Stump"). There's always risk involved trying to retrofit such an old aircraft.Huggyu2 said:If you get through Ellington, check out the NASA T-38 jets. They did their mods "in house", and made quite a few. They are the ones that came up with the Propulsion Mod. Based on what I saw, their jets have the new seats. They looked mighty uncomfortable too: very thin pad. It appeared the front canopy had det cord in it, but the rear canopy came off in the old, traditional manner. The also have a wx radar.
