Fuel

Main tanks contain
Transfer bay- sends fuel to pump bay
Pump bay- feeds fuel to engines and APU, senses fuel levels, neg g box
Neg g box- fuel for 3 sec neg g flt

Surge tanks hold #
Hold 2600 #

How many transfer and boost pumps in each main tank
2 transfer pumps and 2 boost pumps.
Transfer pumps: one operates at all times when AC POWER is applied. Send fuel from transfer bay to pump bay.
Boost pumps: provide fuel to engines from negative g box. One boost pump can feed 2 engines. Both operate continuously in flt

Override pumps
2 in each INBD, OUTBD, AFT Tank.
One pump overrides two boost pumps

Recovery fuel
18000

Min fuel
15000

Emergency fuel
10000

What tanks can gravity feed engines
Only main tanks can gravity feed if main tank boost pumps fail

How is fuel transfered
INBD, OUTBD, AFT transfer via override pumps through the interconnect using 2 crossover shutoff valves

Scavenge
Contaminates go to lowest point for removal. Then sent to engines and burned.

Fuel measurement
Primary and secondary computers.
60 quantity sensors. 10 temp sensors.

Heat exchangers how does it work
Hot fuel from HX is returned to tank determined by FMMS
Outboard cant feed inboard
Inbord cant feed outboard

Thermal mixing keeps fuel to the engine below what temp
180 F

Air refueling
Uses transfer manifold
3600 to 5200 ppm
Aitomatic disconnect when px exceeds 75 psi

Fuel dumping
No dumping if WOW
override and boost pumps operate as dump pumps

Each main fuel tank is subdivided into a transfer bay and the
Pump bay

If you want to move the CG aft where should you move the fuel
Move fuel to the outboard tanks

How do you switch to alternate pumps
If in MANUAL mode: you switch with alternate pumps switch on the ground power panel. If in NORM mode: it switches by itself

When is gravity feed necessary
Main tank fuel gravity feed if a boost pump or override pump is not providing fuel pressure. Engine is gravity fed during eng start before generators come online

How are the APUs fed
Gravity fed from the corresponding pump bay

Surge tank numbers
Holds 2,600 lbs
Appears on MDU: greater than 200 lbs
Vents overboard if accumulates more than 1200 lbs

Scavenge pumps send fuel where
Transfer to the inboard tanks

FMMS 3 works only in
Manual mode

Top 3 order of priority for FMMS operation
Engine fuel feed
Fuel CG control
Maintenance of full main tanks

When A/R how are the tanks filled
Each tank is opened and filled simultaneously. CG is not computed at this time.

Unusable fuel us based on what
Pitch attitude.

Normal N. Command C. Manual M
Normal: auto controls the system
Command: command CG auto still controls.
Manual: manually control the system.

CG limit bars are red and appear when the aircraft CG is within?
1% MAC of a CG limit.

How many override pumps to override main tank pumps
1 override pump can override main tank pumps. Main tank has 2 main boost pumps that run continuously.

Why do we call it an override system
When automatically turner on or manually by the crew. Te aux tank pumps override the main tank pumps and allow the engines to feed from the selected tank due to the 50 psi higher pressure than the 35 psi main tank pumps. When fuel is transferred from an aux tank the aux tank is not used to feed the engines.

How does gravity feed get to the engines
Bypasses the heat exchanger

When do the mains scavenge
Always scavenge in flight

FMMS 3 accuracy
FMMS 3 gives fuel quantity readings on fuel panel but because no compensators. FMMS3 allows for manual control

FMMS control where to send fuel in what mode
Normal. FCS computes and commands CG

CG computation
CG is computed by FCS but controlled by AUTO and MAN. In MAN fuel is managed with the fuel panel. In auto fmms manages fuel.

Hydraulics

What is the purpose of the case drain
Hot excess fluid goes through the case drain then sends it to the heat exchanger then the reservoir to be reused

Each surface has how many actuators
2. Inboard elevons have 3.

Each actuator has how many systems
2 systems flowing through it.

If i lose 3 hydraulic systems can i still fly the plane why
Yes. The arrangement of primary and alternate hydraulic systems for each actuator and at least 2 actuators for each surface, means all flight control surfaces can be powered by any of the 4 hydraulic systems

How does the main gear release.
It is released by the actuator then falls by gravity

Blast/shock (overpressure and shock wave) = 50%
Thermal radiation= 35%
Nuclear radiation= 15%

Nuke effects details
Blast/shockwave: air/surface burst causes most material damage.
Thermal radiation: fireball caused from x-rays
Electromagnetic radiation: gamma radiation x-rays direct effect, radar and radio waves

Where does the most damage in a blast come from
Blast/shock from speed of sound

Which effect is most dangerous to aircrew?
Thermal radiation can burn or melt aircraft surfaces and the EMP and TREE effects can damage onboard computers

What happens to the jet after blast
Air data system kicks off, autopilot warning, due to safe escape distance

What do blast and shockwave do?
Provide overpressure then over time rarefaction or a suction phase.

What does the thermal radiation do timewise
First minute or pulse is very intense heat produced from radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum (x-radiation). Second pulse is longer and less intense heat due to explosion.

EMP what is it?
Electromagnetic pulse. Causes interference with radio and radar waves. The most serious effect is the damage to electronic equipment not radio wave interference.

What is the measurement if RADs
Is the unit of energy absorption measures exposure to radiation. 100 ergs per gram.

The nuke cloud looks like a weather return on the radar. Therefore avoid what looks like thunderstorms to avoid the atmosphere effects and ingesting materials.

What is safe separation and how do we mitigate the dangers
Safe separation occurs during the delivery. Separation is achieved through a built in trajectory strong link switch and TA/GB timers- min fuse arming time.

What is safe escape and how do we mitigate the dangers from it
It is the minimum release altitude to avoid weapon fragmentation at impact detonation. Protect based on time, lateral distance, altitude and maneuvering. The maneuvering 1B2A-25-3 provides for a no damage delivery of the weapon.

What are the 2 different types of SAF and what do they mean
White SAF, means all weapons are safe and disabled. Green SAF, indicates safe power is successfully applied to the weapons- closes circuits in the NWIU and allows PAL enabling.

When do you get the white SAF
After monitor power is applied

When do you get green SAF
After Safe button has been pressed in order to PAL enable.

What are the procedures for target withhold
Unlock and prearm switches- off guard down. Switch from auto to man. Close bomb bay doors. Designate skip overfly.

What are the 3 types of override procedures?
REL INHB- bay door position. Allows weapons release if the bay doors are not in commanded position (65 degrees +/-.5)
ECS SHTDN- insufficient cooling. Allows the MMS (WIUs) to operate in the absence of cooling air.
BAY DOOR- airspeed limit. To open the bay doors regardless of airspeed (.8M max) press the BAY DOOR override and then manually open the doors. 529KCAS-65degrees. 397KCAS-90 degrees.

What is the progressive arming sequence?
1. Apply pwr WIUs. 2. Apply monitor power (white SAF. D) 3. Apply safe pwr (Green SAF) 4. Enter PAL code (D to E) 5. Provide prearm consent 6. Provide dual unlock consent 7. Enter USG code. Apply prearm power

Retained weapons E-27
Before beginning the descent for landing verify retained weapons are safe

To jettison weapons what do you do
Disenable to get rid of PAL. Then CD

Once you have CD a weapon can you get that weapon back?
No the weapon is destroyed.

If you PAL disenable can you get the weapon back
Yes weapon is still usable, just locking it

B61-11 only inputs
FF-Freefall, and 69 TA/TB

When does SMP assign weapons to targets
1. WIU power up. 2. After the Pre IP (PIP) is sequenced. - weapon assignmnet, weapon status, tgt requirements 3. When you command prearm the SMP

Cloud layers can increase thermal radiation somewhere in between
50 to 300 percent.

Weapons display nuke weapons
B61-7= 61D/E
B61-11= 11D/E
B83= 83D/E

If no target number is available see L0 recover checklist
When passing the IP and no target is present due to SMPs faulting.

What system will indicate a noticeable disruption after a nuclear event (detonation)
Air data system. Overpressure will result in false air data system readings.

The risk of damage due to thermal radiation is greatest when flying
Between or below clouds. Cloud layers can increase thermal radiation 50-300 percent

Which components are most susceptible to the effects of EMP
Low power, high speed digital

Bomb characteristics
B61-7: has combination of free fall, retarded- ground, air burst delivery modes.
B61-11: has only a free fall ground burst delivery mode (penetrator)
B83-1: air or ground burst modes and can be delivered in a retarded mode

Can you carry mixed weapon loads
Yea

Safe escape definition
The minimum distance the aircraft must be from bomb impact point to avoid being struck by its own weapons effects

Safe separation is
The minimum time after release before the weapon arms (TA/TB)

When are targets assigned
1. PA PWR= weapon to target assignments are made to the weapon
2. WIU PWR up= the SMP compares the launcher to the inventory file
3. PIP sequence= the SMP checks weapon assignment after PIP is sequenced. Once sequenced the SMP compares the weapon assignment, weapon status, and target requirements to variety the weapon in the release position is still compatible with target requirements

Can you jettison a prearmed nuclear weapon
No. The system will not allow it. You must do a CD on bomb itself or electronically

What checklist accomplish the progressive arming sequence
Accomplishing the weapons monitor power on, permissive action link (PAL) enabling , and weapons prep for release checklists.

What is the difference a white and green safe
White safe= monitor status prior to PAL
green safe= safe power applied (enables PAL entry)

What is the difference between Rad, RBE, REM
Rad= the unit of energy absorbed. Used to measure radiation alpha beta particles and neutrons and gamma rays
RBE= the relative biological effectiveness of the dosage on a person
REM= a unit of biological dose of radiation. Number of RADs absorbed time the RBE of the given radiation

The first radiation pulse is primarily caused by what
X-ray/electromagnetic. Gamma and x-ray are immediate. Heat/radiation has a longer wavelength. Carries 90 percent if radiation

Nuclear radiation primarily consists of
Gamma rays, neurons, alpha particles, and beta particles

What is an important factor regarding the NWIU
Settings must match between the virtual bomb bay tgt inv with what is loaded on the airplane

Additionally
Rads are units of energy absorption. For PAL will see E when PAL enabled. After selecting monitor should see white safe. Need to open doors 15 sec TG for min interval dual bay release. Fail safe if anything happens you wont get a nuclear yield. Weapon inventory does not edit weapons settings only verifies data.

Difference between normal and abnormal day
Albedo: norm is 30% surface reflectivity. Abnormal is 80% reflectivity.
Also difference in temperature and humidity.

Nuke strong links
1. Intent. 2. Trajectory strong link switches
Intent: USG, only after prearming.
Trajectory: safe separation: either deceleration for retarded deliveries or spin acceleration for free fall.

Rapid D steps
Backup, ECS reset. Green apple. Descend 10,000.

Wind calculations
30 degrees off use 1/2 the total wind velocity. 60 degrees off use 3/4 total wind.

Funky chicken
One eng operating and no AC power, so PSLUs do not send signal to FCS. FCS is powered by PMG, since it is not receiving ground (wow) state FCS defaults to airborne state commanding ARTs to move fly control surface.

Unknown ejector UNK EJCTR
Launcher station # changes to yellow U. Select ULK to change state. If msg and time permit, rotate to a compatible bomb

UNCMD ULK
Uncommanded unlock: Let it ride on bomb run follow checklist if not.

Hung weapon
Rotate

Safe escape procedures
At detonation flight controls flush for TH. Wongs level for shock arrival.

2AVIP fail
No radio stays on last freq
No PSLU, no wow
No monitor of ECS, elec, eng
Need emergency gr extension
Crew compartment px erratic
Man AR
No ILS, only SILS.

UNCMD SAFE; FAIL PA BAY/UNK STATE
Bomb reporting safe status but safe not commanded. If after prearming, apply safe power for individual weapon. If E is shown perform USG. If showing D, apply SAF power and reaccomplish PAL. Can I still get desired weapons effects?

PDC 1 or 2
Door stays closed. If both fail, dual failure precludes door operation for both bays

Engine flameout
Use SIOP if no restart by 10%N2. STOP button and motor per checklist.

Engine internal fire how do I know if I have an internal fire?
Increase in TBT during shutdown.
Smoke from exhaust or inlet during shutdown. Tailpipe, ONLY if avionics are still on.

Adjacent engine shutdown
Affected eng fire button- push
Affected engine motor button- push

PDUC 1; PDUC /2, PDUC 1/2
Controller for RLA is inoperative. Loss of weapons delivery capability.

Min fuel divert
Consider fuel burn 12,000 #/hr. NOTAMS, wx, runway and winds

AMSS FAILURE
1 FAILED= white X channel failed
2 or more failed= yellow X, caution
3 failed= red X, warning
4 AMSS FAILURE= eject

Unlock enable- ULK ENB ON BAY
ULK ENB on bay: ejector relay is closed before dual unlock consent is provided.

Unlock enable- ULK ENB: FLT BAY

Thanks a bunch for this quizlet. A few hours of studying should get most folks here a solid A when they take their exams. :)
 
Surely I am an old fart --obscurantist, McCarthyst, retarded, even (gasp) uncool-- but I can't help thinking:
Who does this kind of information help?
How does circulating it contribute to our safety?
Is it really the role of a responsible citizen to circulate it further?

Not sure I really want to know the answer.

I'm not sure it's terribly useful or interesting myself, but hopefully 'Sean L Johnson' was aware the entire internet could see his Quizlet. If anyone believes there is sensitive information presented above, let me know.
 
Amazingly IMOHO, there are none. It's a wonderful document that seems to have gone through some kind of checking (remember that active jet fighter Pilot manuals are out already). So I wouldn't worry much.
@AN/AWW-14(V) : Thank you. Very interesting. To me the roll reversal ban was the most unexpected thing.
