DRAG COUNT INDEX SYSTEM

The la r ge variety o! external store lo"dings per· m1tted on the A · 4M a ircraft r equires a method or da ta pr esentation that can reflect a variable external configura tion. This method is called the Orag Count Index System.

Jn the Drag Count Index System. each item or the ex­cernal stor e configur ation. such as a bomb. tank. or pylon. is assigned a drag !'lumber· value lh::tl depends upon the slzc and shape o! the item and its location on the aircr aH. The sum o! these indlvldual drag number,!;. for 3 parti cular loading. reflects the dr3:g index for that conligur ation. This Index. when ;tp­

pUed lo the performance charts. de!ines the pe1·!or· mance of that configur~tion •

Some of the lndlvtdlU1 dr::tg numb()rJ:: us;()<! fo r deler ­mtntng drag tndexes arc shown in figure 11-1. and :i complete listing Is made In NAVAIR 01- 40AV · IT. Note th:1t lhc dr :tg m1 mbens (ot" ~' given store depend on thP store station on which they a re carried.

AIRSPEED CORRECTIONS

Several correctto:ts to the airspeed indicator reading must be added to a r rive at the tr ue :lirspced of the :'lirc raft. Tu•o corrections peculiar to the indicator itself are instrument error and lag. These er rors , which are ue;ually small, a r e added a lgebraically lo the indicator readi ng to obtain the indicator airs~ed.

Calibrated airspeed ts equal to the airspeed tndlc.,tor r eading corr ected for position and instrument error. Po$Hion error , showo ln figure (to be Curnlshed at a tater dale) . ls an error intr oduced due to the loca ­tion or the s t.atlc source at :.. point of nona mbtent static pressure.

Equi va1cnl ai r speed is equa l to the airspeed ind.icalor r eading correct~ !or position error . Instrument er ror, and for thC' compressibili ty at a particular a ltitude.

True airspeed is r elated to equiva lent airspeed by the following: KTAS • KEAS x J/.[O

The quantity l //C may be found in figures 11 -3 and 11-5.

To conver t rallbrated airspeed to t r ue ainspeed and true Mach number .• figur e 11-2 is provided. fig-ure 11 -2 ha.s compressibility elfe:cts built into the graph permitting a direct step from calibrated to true airspeed.

Occasions arise during carrier operations when the deck becomes fouled and airc raft c ;:innol be t;tken aboard until lhc deck is clca1·ed. tn Lhesc insta:1ces. u ts <tes1ra.01e tor tne puots anci tile a ir 0111ccr to be aware o! the endurance capabilities or the unrc­cover ed ai rt raft so that an 1mmediate decision ;:;m be inade concc1·ning the proper course of action. Should the estimated "clear deck" time be bcyot1d tl1c

However. if it i11 either des1r:ible or m~u1dalory that the alrcralt orbit until the deck is clear. it is necessary that the pilot fully undc-rstand the proper procedure to obtain the maximum endurance with the ::i,vailah1e fueJ. 'the fouled Deck Endurance chtlrt (ligure 11-32) tabulates the endur•nce limes for v3.rious quantities or fuel OI\ board a t both the i11itial ~\ltitude and the optimum, best endurance altitude . The :tir c rart <:on£igura.tion COn8t8lls of four empty wing J)yl oos plus ~ns wilh a total drag i ndex of 33. The endurance v:llucs arc given in minutes: for Lhe optimum altitudes include the time required for a military thrust climb to that altitude and a maximum r aoge descent to sea l evel with 250 pOt.mds of fuel remaining for approach and Landing. 'The clldurancc time~ for the initial altitude include only the descent t ltne since no climb ls required . Climb speeds and airspeeds for m3.Ximum e11dutance a r·e included in the chart together with letdown instructions .

I The time at which letdown should be inttiated is g iven in terms of fuel on board and represents I.he fuel requir·ed to conduct a maximum range descent from altitude to sea level. A 250-p<>und fuel allow­ance ts hlc!udcd tor approach and landing.

I Bingo Endurance and B ingo Endurance- Gear 0()YJn charts arc presented ln llgures 11-33 and 11-3{ respectively. These charts are provided for an ni rc raft confi(fllr ation consisting of four winu pylons. guns, and two 300 .. gallon external fuel tanks wi:h a total drag in<lex of 61 with gear up and 391 with gear down. The procedures for the use or the charts are

identical to those (or the Fouled neck F.ndur::uH't' chart; however. an 8QQ.p0und fuel allowance is included for approach and landing.

MISSION PLANNING

MISSION PLAN NING

Optin1unt use or 1he alrcr3.!t to obtain m:iximum performartce 'lt a mmjmum rate of fuel consumption requires careful pr eflight planning for the nHsslon.

I One of lhe mosL lmp0rlant phasei; of n11ss1on planning is the dctermln.a1ion or the m::&.ximum radius or action from the field which will allow return with a n adc-1 quate fuel rC11erve.

! To rind the mal<ln1un1 radius. a combat plan must be formulated in advance, and a loiter altitude and dis­tance must be e8ta.bl 1shed before the combat phase of the mission is bcguo. Fuel consumption is high dur­ln~ combat n10nc,vers and any delay In beglirning the combat acuon will shorten the con1bat time. or seri­ously reduce the amount of planne-d fuel r eser ve.

The ro11owing 8a.rnpte problem is an exercise ln the uso of the pcrfor:naorc rharts contained in Parts 1 through 9. The example is not Intended to r eflect a.n actual m iss1on. The sample problem must rates. through a grJ.phical solution, how the porformanc~ charts can be rnt~g1·ated tu (O rm a complete mission Cllght plai1.
