Scope.
‘This manval contains the necessary information
for safe and eflielent operation ofthe F-O5P.
‘Phese instructions provide you with a general
Inowledge of the airplane, its characteristics, and
specific mormal and emergency operating proce-
“Aares. Your flying experience ig recognized, and
‘therefore, basic flight principles are avoled.
Sound Judgment,

“enced in the operation of this airplane. This mane
«al provides the best possible operating instrac~
tions der most circumstances, ut #38 a poor
substitute for sound judgment, Multiple emergen-
cies, adverse weather, terrain, etc, may require
modification of the procedures.
Permissible Operations.
The Flight Manual takes a “positive approach" and
normally states only what you can do. UsusUal
operations or configurations (much aa asymmetrical
loading) are prohibited unless specifically covered
herein. Clearance must be obtained from SMAMA
before anv questionable operation is attempted
which Is not specifically permitted in this manual

|
Standardization and Arrangement.
Standardization assures that the scope and arrange~
ment of all Flight Mamuals are identical. The man-
‘ual is divided into 10 fairly independent sections to
simplify reading it straight through or using it as
a reference manual. The first three sections must
bbe read thoroughly and fully understood before
attempting to fly the airplane. The remaining sec~
tions provide important information for safe and
efficient mission accomplishment.
Supplements.
‘The current status of each Supplement affecting
your airplane can be determined by referring to
7.0, O-1-1-4A. The title page of the Flight
Manual and the title block of each Supplement
should be checked to determine the effect they may
have on existing Supptements. You must remain,
constantly aware of all Supplements - current
Supplements must be complied with but there is no
point in restricting your operation by complying
‘with a replaced or rescinded Supplement. Upon
receiving each Supplement, file It in the front of
your Flight Manual, and make reference to it on
the Supplement Surimary page. If existing Flight
‘Manual information or procedures are revised, a
reference to the applicable Supplement should then
be written in the margin of the page opposite the
affected write-up. A Safety Supplement may be

Operational Supplement may be replaced by a
Safety Supplement.
SAFETY SUPPLEMENTS. Information involving
safety will be promptly forwarded to you by Safety
Supplements. ‘Supplements covering loss of Life will
get to you in 48 hours by TWX, and those concern-
ing serious damage to equipment, within 10 days by
mail.
OPERATIONAL SUPPLEMENTS. Nonsafety re-
quirements or airplane changes affecting flight
crew information that is not timely, or that cannot
be practically or adequately covered in the Flight
Manual at the time of a scheduled change or revi-
sion will be forwarded to you by Operational
Supplements.
Checklists.

ance day-fighter, powered by an axialflow turbojet
engine. This version of the Sabre has the familiar swept-
back wing and empennage configuration, typical of all
F-86 Series Airplanes, The aigplane is equipped with a
conventional, fully retractable tricyele landing gear, and
has slocted.type flaps and fuselage mounted speed brakes.
To maintain desirable handling characteristics through:
oot the speed range of the airplane, the ailerons and
horizontal tail are actuated by an irreversible hydraulic
control system, The use of irreversible controls necessi
tates the inclusion of an artficial-feel system to simulate
desired aerodynamic feel, and has the advantage of
providing comfortable stick forces. In addition, the
elevator and stabilizer are interconnected and controlled
a8 one unit, with the result chat the entire horizontal tail
assembly serves as an effective primary control surface.

AIRPLANE GROSS WEIGHT.
‘The approximate gross weight of the airplane at various
load configurations is showa in figure 1-4.
NOTE These gross weights are average values. For
the gross weight of a particular siplane, refer
to the Handbook of Weight and Balance Dats,
T.0, 1-18-40, assigned to the airplane.
ARMAMENT.
‘The airplane has six .50.caliber machine guns. The addi:
tion of removable racks permits the airplane to carry
bombs, rockets, or missiles (F-86F-25 and later airplanes
changed by T.O. 1F-86F-533) on the lower surface of the
wings. An automatic lead computing sight, coupled with
radar ranging equipment, is furnished for gun 2ad rocket
firing and bomb release, (Refer to “Armament Equip.
ment” in Section IV for detailed information.)
ENGINE,
‘The engine (figure 1-5) is a General Electric J47-GE-27
axial flow, turbojet unit, having a rated sea-ievel static
thrust of approximately 6090 pounds. Air is supplied co
the engine, from an intake in che nose of the airplane, by
means of a “straight through” duct, which passes under
the cockpit, In engine operation, the air is routed to che
Changed 23 Nevember 1962
axialflow compressor, where it is compressed progres-
sively in 12 stages. This compressed air then flows to
eight combustion chambers, where it mixes with atomized
fuel injected into the chambers. The combustion of this
mixture occurs continuously once ignition has been estab-
lished during engine starting. From the combustion
chambers, the hot exhaust gases pass through the single.
stage eurbine and out the tail pipe in gradually expanding
form, to provide the high-velocity jet and reaction thrust,
‘The turbine, rotated by the exhaust gases, is connected to,
and drives, the compressor and engine accessories. A bulk
head, which serves as a fire wall, separates the engine
compartment from the cockpit and forward fuel tank.
‘The engine compartment is divided into ewo compart.
ments by a fire wall; the forward compartment contains
the relatively cool compressor and accessory sections of
the engine, and che aft compartment includes the engine
combustion chamber and curbine section and the tail pipe.
ENGINE AIR INTAKE SCREENS.
‘The engine is equipped with eight simultaneously actu-
ated, retractable-type intake screens. Screen position is
pilot-controlled. The screens should be extended during
ground operations to prevent forcign objects from enter-
in flight, the screens should be retracted

ENGINE ANTI-ICING SYSTEM.
Al parts of the engine that have an exposed frontal
area, except for the ait intake screens, have icing pro-
tection. The engine front frame struts and the inlet guide
vanes are heated continuously and automatically by aie
bled from the engine compressor. (See figure #1.) A
control switch in the cockpit permits heated air from
the engine compressor section to be directed to the engine
island fairings and the accessory cover bullet. To avoid
overheating the accessories, a thermestatic switch within
the accessory section regulates the flow of heated air to
the fairings and accessory section. Turning this system
oon also retracts the engine air intake screens to preclude
che formation of ice on the screens.
ENGINE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEMS.
Fuel flow co the engine is regulated by a dual fuel con-
trol sistem consisting of main system and an emer-
gency system, The major units of the main system are
Gaplicated in the emergency system, which is used to
‘maintain fuel flow to the engine if the main system fails,
‘ain Fuel Control System.
hhe main fuel control system (figure 1-14) is controlled
y the throttle, and includes the main element of an
agine-driven, coustant-output dual fuel pump, a main
6
fuel regulator, and a fuel control valve. Since pump out.
put is constant for any given rpm, it is the function of
the main fuel regulator to determine the amount of fuel
the engine receives for varied operating conditions, and
to maintain the selected rpm regardless of altitude and/or
airspeed changes. The regulator, operated by mechanical
linkage from the throttle, regulates fuel flow to the
engine according to throttle setting, engine pm, and
altitude, by adjusting the position of the fuel control
valve, (No fuel passes through the regulator.) The fuel
control valve is basically 2 variable bypass valve and
responds to regulator control by varying the amount of
fuel directed to the engine. It bypasses the fuel not
needed for the particular operating condition back to the
main element of the fuel pump. A constant-speed gover-
nor, effective in the range from approximately 30% (0
100% engine rpm at sea level, is incorporated in the
regulator. The governor maintains constant engine speed
within its range for the selected throttle setting and pre-
vents overspeed during rapid alticade and attitude
changes.

Emergency Fuel Control System.
‘The emergency fuel control system (figure 1-14), con
sisting of che emergency element of the engine-driven
dual fuel pump and an emergency Fuel regulator, may
be used to maintain engine operation if failure of the
main fuel control system occurs. During normal ope
ation, the emergency system is not engaged, since
leccrical (de) power holds the emergency regulator
inoperative so that it continuously bypasses the rotal
output of the emergency segment of the fuel pump.
‘When the emergency fuel system is engaged, it assumes
control nf fuel ow to the engine and the main fuet
system regulacor is electrically (dc) disabled, so. that
110
the cotal output of the main system element of the fuel
pump is continuously bypassed. The emergency regu.
lator, which is mechanically actuated by the throttle,
compensates for altitude changes to maintain approxi-
macely che xpm selected by the throttle setting. How.
ever, this regulator is not provided with a governor
as is the main fuel segalator and, consequently, provides
peicher precise speed regulation nor overspeed protection,
NOTE the emergency fuel regulator is set t0 give
99% rpm on a 100°R day, and therefore will
provide somewhat less than 99% at lower
ambient temperatures, (See figure 2-4.)
Engine Fuel System Stopcock.
Located downstream of the main and emergency fuel
cconcrol systems, the fuel stopcock (figure 1-14) is a posi-
tive, high-pressure fuel shutoff valve actuated through
Changed 21 August 19641.0, 1F-86F-1
mechanical linkage by throttle movement. Initial move-
ment of the throttle from OFF to IDLE partially opens
the stopeock, which acts as a metering valve up to about
15 degrees of throttle movement, The stopcock is fully
‘opened by additional throttle movement past the IDLE
position,
Fuel System Flow Divider,
The engine fuel system flow divider (figure 1-14) is
downstream of the stopeack aad directs fuel co one or
both engine fuel manifolds, depending on engine oper-
ating conditions. (‘The small-slot manifold is used during
starting and is also used in conjunction with the large.
slot manifold for normal operation.) To facilitace
starting, the flow divider directs fuel through only the
smnallslot manifold when fuel pressure is approximately
50 psi or less. At pressures above this, the flow divider
routes fuel through the large-slor manifold as well as
through the small-siot manifold for normal operations.
The flow divider is controlled by fuel pressure, and its
‘operation is completely auromatic,
ENGINE CONTROLS.
Throttle (Power Control).
Engine power is controlled by the throttle (10, figure
1.9; 10, figure 1-12), which is in a qoadrant on the
left side of the cockpit, The chrottle is spring-loaded
inboard and actuates the main and emergency fuel regu-
lators and the fuel stopcock by means of mechanical
cage. When the engine master switch is ON, the ini-
tial outboard movement of the throttle from OFF starts
both the fore and aft fuel booster pumps, and urns on
the ignicion circuit when the starter is energizes
sequent movement of the throttle to 1DLE opens the fuel
stopeock. (Ignition is automatically cut off when engine
speed reaches approximately 234% rpm.) With the engine
running, additional throttle advancement produces a
corresponding increase in engine rpm. To prevent inad-
vertent shutting off of the fuel supply (by closing the
fuel stopcock) when the throttle is retarded, a stop,
is provided on the throttle quadrant between the DLE
and OFF positions. Outboard movement of the throttle
allows the stop to be bypassed when the engine is
being started or stopped. The throttle grip (figure 1-9)
contains the electrical caging burton for the sight, che
microphone button, and che speed brake switch. Rota-
tion of the grip aifords a means of manually supplying
range daca to the sight system, Adjustment of throttle

exhaust temperature in degrees centigrade. Gage indica-
tions are received from bayonet-type thermocouples
mounted in the forward section of the tail pipe. The
temperature indicator system is of the self-generating
type and, as such, does not require power from the air
plane electrical system.
NOTE On some F-96F-35 and F-86F-40 Airplanes, the
‘gage is rotaced t0 position the 690°C red radial
at the top. This provides for more accurate
reading of the gage.
Tachometer.
The tachometer (20, figure 1-6; 17, figure 1-7), on the
instrument panel, registers engine speed in percentage
of maximum rated rpm (7980). This indication, when
used in conjunction with that of the exhaust tem-
perature gage, permits engine thrust to be accurately
set without exceeding engine limitations. The tachom-
‘eter receives its power from the tachometer generator,
which is geared to the engine rotor shaft, and there-
fore does not depend on the airplane electrical system.
Fuel Pressure Gage.*
‘The fuel pressure gage (17, figure 1-6), on the instru-
sment panel, electeially records fuel pressure. The gage
is operated by three-phase ac power.
Fuel Flowmeter and Totali
The fuel flowmeter (22, figure 1-6; 20, figure 1-7), on the
instrument panel, shows the rate of fuel low in pounds
per hour and includes a cotalizer dial which indicates
the aumber of pounds of fuel remaining. (The totalizer
dial is not included on the fuel dowmeters on F-86F-20
Airplane AF51-13110 and all later airplanes.) A knob
on the flowmeter is used to preser the totalizer to corre
spond to the quantity gage indication (total pounds of
fuel in tanks before take-off). The uncompensated total-
iner indication, however, will not continuously coincide
swith the density-corrected fuel quantity gage as fuel is
consumed, On most airplanes,* the flowmeter system is
operated by single-phase ac power. On other airplanes}
the flowmeter system is operated by three-phase ac power.
OTE Foct flowmeters incorporating a totalizer dial
that indicates the amount of fuel cemaining or
the amount of fuel consumed should not be
relied upon for accurate fuel indicaioas. Major
errors are ioherent in the insirument because
of wide fenperature variations and the chemical

ENGINE IGNITION SYSTEM.
‘The engine ignition system, consisting of an ignition
control ‘relay, « dual ignition vibrator unit, four trans-
formers, and two dual spark plugs, is used only during
engine starting, as combustion is continuous after the
‘engine has been started, During a normal start, ignition
‘occurs automatically when the throttle is moved out-
board from oFF, provided the engine master switch is
at on and the battery-starer switch has been held
momentarily at STARTER to energize the starter circuit,
For ignition, de power is routed through the ignition
vibrators to the transformers, which supply high-cension
ac voltage to the spark plugs Jocited in combustion
chambers 3. and 7. The ignition circuit is opened auto-
matically when the starter disengages at an engine speed
of approximately 23% rpm. A manually controlled emer-
gency ignition system is provided for supplying ignition

Emergency Ignition Switch.
A means of manually controlling the ignition circuit
for engine start in flight is provided by the guarded
emergency ignition switch (figure 1-15) on the right
forward console. Provided the engine master switch is
on, setting the emergency ignition switch on and
advancing the throttle from OFF permits primary bus
power to energize che emergency ignition circuit. The
‘emergency ignition switch should not be used for starts
fon the ground, and the switch must be moved to OFF
to de-energize the ignition cireuit.
