3.19.1. Maneuver Description. Recover from the High Speed Reposition Maneuver by pulling at
1,200 feet AGL using 5.0 to 6.0 Gs to level off at 300 feet AGL, on the 500-foot show line at 400
knots (240 knots minimum). Roll into 80 to 90 degrees of bank to turn 90 degrees away from the
crowd line. Once pointed away from the crowd, pull 5.0 to 6.0 Gs to 40 degrees nose high to achieve
1,000 feet AGL minimum. At 1,000 feet AGL minimum execute a non-acrobatic 270-degree roll and
pull toward the perch point of the landing runway. Begin slowing the aircraft and configure for landing
with gear, full flaps, and 40% speed brakes. Fly a normal base to final (no slower than 135 knots
final turn). On final, continue slowing to 120 knots (110 minimum) to touchdown. After touchdown,
perform a minimum run landing by lowering the nose, opening the speed brakes full, and initiating
full anti-skid braking bringing the aircraft to a complete stop. Plan to do the minimum run landing to
stop at show center. This is accomplished by planning your touchdown point 2,000 feet prior to show
center. Do not land 2,000 feet prior to show center if, at the point of touchdown, there is less than
5,000 feet of useable runway remaining. In this case, plan your touchdown normally in the first 500
feet of runway.
Option: If a Heritage Flight is to be performed immediately following completion of the demonstration,
conduct a low-approach or wings-level low approach or wings-level pass and proceed to rejoin
with Heritage Flight aircraft using prebriefed procedures.
3.19.2. Abnormal Procedures. If airspeeds, altitudes, or stall warning indications are experienced
with the stick shaker, a Go-Around must be executed to recover the aircraft. Once the Go-Around is
completed, the pilot will then turn out to downwind (away from the crowd) and set up for a normal
straight-in to full stop.
3.20. Staged Show Sites. When demonstration aircraft takeoff from other than the air show site, fuel
planning must include the fuel required flying to and from the show site, and any holding time required.
The pilot will enter the show via the Show Entry maneuver and complete the show as described in the
