met may result in redeparture during re-
covery.
1. ‘‘One g’’ roll to the nearest horizon.
2. Throttles - MAX (MIL if altitude not critical)
3. Pull to and maintain 25° to 35° AOA until

NOTES :
1. Aircraft will be flying a half flap straight-in. Approach speed will be
higher, therefore wind over the deck requirements will increase. Consult
applicable ARB for details. Possibility of malfunction affecting other
engine. Ensure all possible effort is made to recover the aircraft
immediately.
2. Aircraft may require a tow out of the landing area.
3. If light extinguished when NATOPS procedures applied, recover at next
available recovery.
4. Immediate tanking required if any delay in recovery exists.
5. Pilot will be unable to fold wings upon landing.
6. Fly half flap approach. Handling characteristics are severly degraded.
7. If LEF > 10 °, recover next available recovery. If LEF < 10° or TEF at 0°,
CV excessive airspeed and/or AOA may require divert.
RECOV 8. If ailerons and rudder are inoperative, aircraft must divert, or eject.
9. For HYD 2A failure, landing gear will be emergency extended and aircraft
will be committed to a dirty bingo if unable to recover. Consider bingo
options before extending landing gear.
10. Problem could be symptomatic of a fuel leak. If so, immediate recovery is
required.
11. Consideration should be given to aircraft configuration and outside air
temperature prior to recovery. In hot weather, divert should be first
option due to poor hot weather single engine wave off capability.

LANDING GEAR FAILS TO GEAR
RETRACT
If gear handle will not move up -
1. Do not use override. May be an indication of a
WOW system failure. Refer to WOW failure.
If gear handle up -
1. Gear handle - DOWN
2. Do not cycle landing gear.
3. Landing gear circuit breaker - Attempt RESET
(if out)
4. Check for planing link failure.
If brakes fail -
5. Use emergency brakes.
WOW FAILURE
An uncommanded pitch up after takeoff may occur if a

WOW system failure results in the aircraft sensing WOW
while inflight. Above 180 knots, full forward stick alone will
not stop aircraft nose up rotation, so nose down trim will be
required to regain control of the aircraft.
A WOW system failure resulting in the aircraft sensing
WOW while inflight may also result in the following
conditions:
D Emergency and selective store jettison may be
disabled.
D The FUEL DUMP switch may have to be manually held
on to dump fuel.
D AOA indexer lights and approach lights may be
disabled.
D Automatic throttle control may be disabled.
D The internal and external fuel tanks may be
depressurized. External fuel transfer can be initiated
by selecting ORIDE on the EXT TANKS switches.
D Autopilot may be disabled.
D The inflight idle throttle stop may be retracted,
allowing the throttles to be moved to the ground idle
position.
D The speedbrake may not automatically retract with
L/G
NOT UP flaps HALF or FULL.
- D Pitot-static and AOA probe heating may be disabled
P/LINK

D Total temperature probe heating may be disabled.
PLANING LINK FAILURE

If detected on touchdown -
*1. Execute Loss Of Directional Control On
Ground procedure
2. Do not taxi
If detected airborne -
1. Do not cycle gear
2. Anti-skid - OFF
3. Make a fly-in arrestment with LSO assistance
(if available)
If arresting gear not available -
3. Make a minimum sink rate landing. Avoid
braking until as slow as practical or until
needed to prevent loss of directional control.
4. Brake using the good gear and maintain
directional control with nosewheel steering
5. Use symmetrical braking only if necessary to
avoid departing the runway
D Use of wheel brakes with a planing link failure may

cause a sudden swerve in the direction of the failed
gear.
D The ability to maintain directional control with brak-

ing on the appropriate side, NWS, and rudder will rap-
idly decrease as the aircraft decelerates on rollout.
