Plus we use OCF recoveries rather than proper anti-spin. Go figure.

The anti-spin procedure is actually part of the OCF EP for the T-34.

Many instructors say that a T-6 is too much of an airplane for a student to solo after 12 FAMS...

The funny part is, the Navy never really intended for studs to go from a T-34C to a T-45C. It was supposed to be T-6A to T-45C. But, that's budgeting and acquisition process for you.

No spins below 10K press alt and recommended starting at 13.5 because spining must cease prior to 10K. Also you cannot intentionally spin past two turns. At least that's the rule here.

It's no Aggrivated spins past 2 turns - I did several "normal" spins past 2 turns - especially the first one!

The T-6 is a blast - MOST new SNFOs are getting it, but there are a few T-34's still left. They're going away steadily, though.

For you SNA types - according to my friends at Moody, it's not worth going to Moody just to fly the T-6. Go to Whiting or Corpus instead, you'll enjoy getting your wings a lot more...

as for snfo's, "gouge" from instructors is that the last people getting the t-34 will be the new class coming in next week. and at that, im guessing less than 1/4 of them get it. my class had all but 4 people get t-6's.

it's all about: Ejection handle - Pull (both)
if need be

But only if you have indications of a steady state spin, otherwise it's just neutral/idle.

And then skip the anti-spin procedures and recover from the unusual attitude, unless you really want to hit the ground . . . ;)

I don't think you understand what I was saying. The way they train spins is by purposely entering it. However, if you inadvertently get into a spin, you won't know it until you start the OCF EP, because part of it is AOA, airspeed, turn needle. The anti-spin controls are PART of the OCF EP. Just open up the page and read it :)

T-45 is 10K.

The T-1 isn't that new of a jet. It's been around for YEARS (originally designed by Mitsubishi) it's just evolved enough that there arn't that many EP's in planes like that, that are do or die RIGHT NOW emergencies. Correct from the book is better than half ass quick and form memory.

I don't necessarily buy into your first explanation... sounds more like the second. The T-39 is also a twin engine modified commercial jet... but it has a long list of memory item EPs.

For example, the T-1 has a boldface for 'Engine Fire in Flight'. The T-39 has them for on takeoff, on deck, and in flight. The T-1 also lacks boldface for abnormal engine starts and aborted takeoff. Is it because those are less likely to happen in the Jayhawk or they're unl do-or-die? Don't think so... probably just the Chair Force choosing to keep the boldface to a minimum...

Now, some the T-39 are just unique quirks of that plane-- Aft Fuselage Hot, Battery Warm-- of which the T-1 has very few of.
