Taxi:
Pushback with the Nose set at 0.
Gate area at 10 kts with the Nose at -5
Taxiways at 5 to 20 kts.
Use Inboard Engines
Transponder to Mode C
Take off:
Set parking brakes Nose down.
Engaged the afterburners with the throttles to max.
Confirm four green "clear to go" lights and release the brakes.
Take off at V2-200 kts and climb at 7000 fpm full throttle.
At 240 kts set gear up and Nose to -5.
Climb:
Set the throttle to 80% to 90% N1 at 250 kts.
Slowly decrease the climb rate to 4000 fpm,
At 7000 ft set the climb rate to 3000 fpm at 80 to 90% N1.
At 12,000 ft climb @ 2000 fpm and set the auto throttle to 400 ias.
Disengaged afterburners and climb to FL290, Nose at 0.
SST Climb:
At FL290 engage the afterburners and bring up the visor.
Monitor the airspeed overshoot indicator @ 64- 77% N1.
At mach 1.1 set the climb rate to 1500 fpm.
At mach 1.5 set the climb rate to 1000 fpm.
At mach 1.7 set the climb rate to 500 fpm.
Disengage the afterburners.
Cruise:
At FL490 set the auto throttle from 2.0- 2.04 mach max.
Monitor the center of gravity and fump fuel as needed.
FL490 to FL 550 climb at 500 fpm or less.
FL550 to FL 570 climb at 200 fpm or less.
FL570 to FL 590 climb at 100 fpm or less.
Vectoring supersonic aircraft seriously affects the range and mission objectives.
During turns, either programmed or as the result of vectors, will lose a few thousand feet.
Watch for the "skipping effect" at high altitudes and jetstreams.
Slow to mach 1.7 and steady the aircraft.
Descent:
TOD will be from FL510 - FL490
At 350 nm from the destination airport decrease speed to 350 ias and descend at -1000fpm.
At FL290 set speed to 300 ias -2000 fpm with the visor down.
At FL190 set speed to 270 ias with the Nose to 0.
Level off at 11,000 ft and slow to 250 ias.
Approach:
At 40 nm descend at 240 kts bellow 10,000 ft.
Bellow 7000 ft set speed to 230 kts gear down and the nose to -5
On initial approach set speed to 220 kts.
For IFR Establish the LOC/LDA or ILS/GS at 210 kts
Landing:
Confirm you have the runway in sight.
Check the pith rate and disengage the autopilot at 3 nm and maintain 190 kts.
Configure for 180 kts, Nose down.
Disengage the auto throttle at 500 ft.
Landing speed VREF 150 - 162 kts.
Flare slightly for landing and use reverse thrust to slowly lower the pitch of the aircraft.
Gently use manual brake below 80 kts and roll out at 60 kts.
Taxi:
Exit the runway at 10 - 15 kts.
Taxi with the nose at -5 at 20 kts or less.
Use Inboard Engines
Transponder on standby
Parking:
Park with the nose set at 0.
