T 6b texan ii cockpit12/5/2023 In Phase II you’ll also start “standup.” You’ll sit around the perimeter of your flight room while an instructor presents you with the setup for a theoretical emergency procedure. You should put in the time and effort to get this right. You’ll repeat this exercise no less than weekly. If anyone in your class fails (makes even the smallest mistake), you’ll all have to fill out two or three the next day. You’re expected to fill this out perfectly the minute you walk into your flight room on the first day of Phase II. The front side has blank boxes for you to write the boldface and the back side has a fill-in-the-blanks set of ops limits. A boldface/ops limits quiz consists of one page of paper. Operating limitations (“ops limits”) are a page of specifications for the T-6 (or any other USAF aircraft) that you must have memorized. You have to be able to repeat them (flawlessly), and write them (flawlessly…to include spelling and punctuation) on command. This is one of the few things you can (and should) be working on learning during Phase I.īoldface is a set of roughly 10 emergency procedures that you must memorize. You’ll spend most of each day in this room and it’ll take a while adjusting to having at least one set of IP eyes on you…all day long.Īside from not being on Academic CAP, the most important thing for making a good impression in Phase II is making sure that everyone in your class knows your boldface and ops limits…perfectly. Your domain is a large conference table in the center of the room. It’ll have a few assigned Instructor Pilots (aka, “IPs”) with desks around the perimeter of the room. When you’re not flying or in the simulator during Phase II, you’ll be in your flight room. Be ready though because Phase II starts with a little shock and awe. (Nobody calls it the “Texan,” the “Texan II,” or the “JPATS.”” Just call it the T-6). You’ll be looking forward to Phase II and flying the Beechcraft T-6A Texan II. Phase I is a great education, but you’ll be ready for it to end.
