9.5.2. Permissible inflight maneuvers. The maneuvers listed are authorized for qualification
and continuation training (or formal upgrade training where indicated). Maneuvers restricted
to FTUs will only be performed during formal training under direct IP supervision.
Maneuvers restricted to the FTU can also be accomplished by units using the secondary
method of formal training. They are applicable to all C-130 aircraft except when prohibited
or restricted by the flight manual or other current directives. The pilot or IP will alert all
crewmembers before accomplishing the following:
9.5.2.1. Approach to Stalls: Direct IP supervision required. Authorized during formal
upgrade training in day VMC at a minimum of 10,000 ft above the ground or 5,000 feet
above the cloud deck, whichever is higher.
9.5.2.2. Instrument Steep Turns: Authorized during daylight VMC with up to 60-degrees
bank. Restricted to 5,000 feet above the ground or cloud deck for bank angles in excess
of 45 degrees. Check stall speed prior to making instrument steep turns.
9.5.2.3. Slow Flight: Direct IP supervision required. Authorized at or above 5,000 feet
AGL. Fly at approach, threshold, and 1.2 power off stall speed with gear down and flaps
0%, 50%, or 100%. Do not exceed 15-degrees of bank.
9.6. Briefing Requirements.
9.6.1. Training/Evaluation Briefing. Before all training/evaluation missions,
instructors/flight examiners will brief the crew on requirements and objectives for each
student or examinee.
9.6.2. Debriefing. Review and evaluate overall training performed. Each student or aircrew
member should understand thoroughly what training has been accomplished. Ensure all
training is documented.
9.7. Simulated Instrument Flight. Artificial vision restricting devices are not authorized for
any phase of flight. Simulated instrument flight may be flown and logged without the use of a
vision-restricting device.
9.8. Operating Limitations.
9.8.1. Unless specifically authorized elsewhere, do not practice emergency procedures that
degrade aircraft performance or flight control capabilities.
9.8.1.1. In an actual emergency, terminate all training and flight maneuvers practice.
9.8.2. Low/Missed Approaches. Initiate a planned missed approach no lower than:
9.8.2.1. Precision approach – Decision Altitude.
9.8.2.2. Non-precision approach – MDA.
9.8.2.3. Visual Approach – 200 feet AGL for simulated emergencies (no minimum for
non-emergency).
9.8.2.4. Restricted Low Approach (aircraft, equipment, or personnel are on the runway)
– 500 feet AGL.
9.9. Landing Limitations.
9.9.1. No-Flap Landing Limitations:
