VI. 1. T-38 supersonic? No reasons, physically, not to take T-38 supersonic (except pod...), but there's an FAA restriction against flying > M=1 except in specific areas (e.g. pelican) 2. The T-38 electronics are cooled on the ground by electric blowers which come on whenever 1. there's weight on the landing gear (as measured by a "squat switch" on the right main gear) and 2. the battery switch is on 3. Functions not controllable from rear: [[2 column]] |--|--| | battery | pressure system | | generator | gyro slaring | [[??]] | boost pumps | VOR | | stab aug | VHR | | rudder trim | IFF | | | lights| 4. Brakes work off a separate hydraulic system (neither utility or primary) - check this pre-flight - and they're driven directly by pedal pressure. 5. "take-off trim": when button is pushed, slab/flaps move to trim. Note: whenever flaps move, slab also moves (nominally) 6. fuel consumption in the pattern depends on a/c weight, but is a 150# per closed pattern (~200-250# heavy) & ~ 300# to call initial 7. NASA has "& later" block a/c - the latest block
