A CRITIQUE OF SELECTED F 104 EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES

 

FOREWORD

 

Sooner or later there comes to every fighter pilot a moment in time that challenges all his mental and physical capabilities. If he employs positive action based upon sound judgment, most assuredly his life wlll be saved and in many instances, also his machine. If he does not react properly, his life and machine will be at the mercies of the cruel, fickle fates.

As members of the most noble and respected Fraternity of Airmen, it is our responsibility to prepare ourselves, in every way, with knowledge and skill to meet these challenges.

This lecture has one sole aim……to help you! To help you evade confirsion and error in the cockpit…. to help you evade the Accident Board……. and to help you evade that demeaning phrase, "This accident was caused by pilot error".
