INTRODUCTION
The operational concept of Detachment "G" calls for the
capability of world wide deployment on short notice to provide
reconnaissance of denied territory. The ability to operate
from aircraft carriers greatly increases our operational flex-
ibility for carrying out these missions. However, landing the
U-2 aboard a carrier is a very precise and demanding maneuver.
A considerable amount of training is required to develop the
skill and confidence required for conducting safe carrier oper-
ations. This training has been assigned the unclassified name
of "BLUE GULL". PHD 50-10-17 sets forth Phases I, II, and III
of this training that must be accomplished before a driver can
be designated operationally ready to fly missions from a car-
rier. The purpose of this manual is to establish guidelines
for the coordination and conduct of the carrier training that
leads to qualification. Discussion and briefing guides are
presented which incorporate the experience of BLUE GULL V and
previous operations. It does not necessarily follow that future
exercises will be conducted in exactly the same manner. An air-
craft carrier has a very flexible schedule. We must be prepared
to deviate from our normal operations so that we can fit into
their crowded schedule. This manual is not intended to supersede
timely good judgment, but rather to assist in accomplishing car-
rier training in the safest and most expeditious manner possible.
It is published to assist Detachment "G" and the Landing Signal
Officer (LSO) in planning and conducting "BLUE GULL". As the
mode of operation changes it will be the responsibility of the
Detachment "G" LSO to upgrade this manual.

PHASE I TRAINING
PHD 50-10-17 requires initial qualification in a Navy training
aircraft. This is normally accomplished at Training Squadron Four
(VT-4), N.A.S. Pensacola, Florida in the T-2 aircraft. That squad-
ron's mission is to give the student Naval Aviator his first oppor-
tunity at carrier qualification. The T-2 is ideally suited for this
mission. It is a simple, easy to fly jet trainer that holds an out-
standing carrier safety record.
Project Headquarters will coordinate and request approval for
the drivers to go to VT-4. The Detachment "G" Landing Signal
Officer (LSO) will accompany all drivers during their training.
Project Headquarters should be very specific in requesting this
training to insure the following items are agreed upon:
a. The drivers should fly the T-2 solo during qualification.
This will require a waiver to Naval Air Training and Operations
Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) which specifies 50 hours in type
for carrier qualification. Due to the high experience level of our..
drivers and the simplicity of the T-2, this should not be a problem.
In the past an abbreviated familiarization program and several dual
Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) sorties have adquately pre-
pared the drivers for solo FCLP and carrier qualification.
b. The Detachment "G" LSO should control the drivers landings
approaches on the field and on ship. Since the close working rela-
tionship between driver and LSO is so important during U-2 operations,
it should be nurtured from the beginning. It is important that the
LSO know how each driver responds and adapts to the varying situations
around the ship since the LSO's judgment is the determining factor in
the pilot's qualification. Dangerous trends could be spotted early
in the program that might later save the Project embarrassment and
loss of'valuable aircraft or pilot assets. This request does not
imply that VT-4 should not provide one of its own LSO's to assist
e?-%

and help supervise the operations. On the contrary, the experience
of one of VT-4's LSO's would be a valuable asset to the program.
c. Our carrier landing requirements will be 2 touch-and-go
plus 8 arrested landings. This will be the driver's only chance
to get carrier experience prior to landing the U-2 aboard ship and
it is imperative that they get as much training as possible during
this exercise. Navy student pilots normally receive 2 touch-and-go
and 4 arrested landings.
d. The Detachment "WI LSO should get requalified in the T-2.
During the tour here no opportunity is afforded him to stay current
in carrier operations and procedures. All Navy units consider it
imperative that their LSO's stay current and Project Headquarters
should consider LSO recurrency as part of the total requirements.
His requirements are 2 touch-and-go and 4 arrested landings.
In the past there has been some problem with coordination of
these requirements. To insure proper coordination of the operation,
all parties concerned should meet together to resolve all problem'
areas in advance. The following people should attend this meeting:
Project Headquarters Operations Representative, VT-4 Commanding
Officer, Detachment "G" LSO, and a Naval Air Training Command
Representative.
It is desirable to have the LSO preeeed the drivers to Pensacola.
He can spend one or two weeks at VT-4 familiarizing himself with
local procedures and aircraft systems, flying the T-2, and observing
FCLP and carrier landings. He is then ready to return to Edwards
and prepare the drivers for the operation.
Back at Edwards, the LSO will conduct a ground training syllabus
on the T-2 and administer the handbook exams. He will give the
drivers a preview of Pensacola Course Rules and VT-4 Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP). Finally, each driver will be introduced to FCLP
in the T-33 at the North Base runway. This advance preparation is

,
is mand4tory. It greatly expedites the operation when the drivers
arrive at VT-4 by easing the workload on the instructors there. Due
to the vast experience of our drivers?, the instructors inadvertently
tend to rush the lectures and not adequately cover all areas in
enough detail to suit the drivers.
Once at Pensacola, the ground training is completed by review-
ing the systems and emergency procedures, a cockpit familiarization,
a practice engine start and shutdown, and a final review of local
procedures. The last item prior to flight is obtaining a temporary
issue of flight gear for the drivers. This may be a problem and
should be coordinated with the VT-4 Commanding Officer well in ad-
vance.
Once flight training starts the drivers will fly instructional
transition flights until they are "safe for solo". After soloing,
an rat? procedures lecture and film are presented as prerequisites
for FCLP.
FCLP training consists of approximately 2 dual flights and then
solo FCLP sorties until each driver is certified field carrier qual-
ified by the LSO. Normally, 8-10 sorties are required. NATOPS limits
a pilot to 2 FCLP sorties per day.
Each driver will then receive the standard carrier qualification
briefing as specified by NATOPS and VT-4 SOP. Carrier qualification
will be conducted in accordance with all regulations. Our require-
ment for 8 arrested landings may necessitate a refueling aboard ship
or perhaps 2 sorties to complete. Normally, 2 weeks at VT-4 are re-
quired to complete this phase; however, more time may be, needed if a
carrier is not available for qualification immediately upon comple-
tion of FCLP.
Phase I training is a "one time" qualification and has no peri-
odic recurrency requirements. It is required however, prior to Phase
II and Phase III.

PHASE II
Pliase II training is the FCLP in the U-2. It may be directed
by Project Headquarters as part of a Blue Gull exercise or the
Detachment Commander may, from time to time, schedule FCLP to in-
crease proficiency in order that a high degree of operational
readiness can be maintained and to retain currency in accordance
with PHD 50-10-17. Approximately 2 weeks are needed to adequately
prepare for a carrier qualification period. FCLP should be
scheduled far enough in advance to allow for slippage due to un-
favorable weather and winds.
Prior to conduct of FCLP, each driver will receive an FCLP
procedures briefing from the LSO. The outline for this brief is
on page 7.
A driver who is making his initial qualification normally will
not have had an opportunity to fly the 13-2 with 500 flaps. An
additional 30 minutes should be added to the first FCLP sortie to
allow the driver time to familiarize himself with the handling
characteristics of the aircraft in that configuration at altitude.
A fuel load of 788 gallons is recommended for this sortie. For
normal FCLP sorties, a 588 gallon fuel load is recommended. A
driver should be scheduled for only one FCLP sortie per day.
Operational necessity may dictate a second sortie on certain days;
however, two FCLP sorties is the absolute maximum per day. If
scheduling considerations permit, FCLP should be conducted in the
morning hours to take advantage of the calm smooth air. Two air-
craft in the pattern at the same time produce a smoother and more
desirable operation. The number of FCLP sorties required to achieve
a satisfactory level of performance will vary with each individual
pilot; however, 8 sorties are normally needed for initial qualifi-
cation and 4 sorties for refresher pilots. A sortie consists of at
least 8 FCLP passes. The final FCLP sortie should not preceed the

the carrier qualification by more than 5 days for drivers who are
initially qualifying. All drivers should be in the mobile to ob-
serve FCLP when they are not flying. Much can be learned by
watching the approaches of the other drivers. Each driver will
fly FCLP sorties until such time as the LSO certifies him field
carrier qualified. Upon completion of FCLP the LSO will advise
Project Headquarters by message of the drivers that are certi-
fied field qualified. An L :ained in

PHASE III
This is the actual carrier qualification in the U-2. Success-
ful completion of Phases I and II is a prerequisite for Phase III.
The minimum requirements for qualification as set forth in PHD 50-
10-17 are 2 low approaches, 2 touch-and-go landings, and 4 arrested
landings. PHD 50-10-17 also outlines the requirements for currency.
Since pre-deployment preparation is of such paramount importance
the discussion of this phase will be divided into 2 sections: Pre-
Carrier Preparation and On Board Procedures.
PRE-CARRIER PREPARATION:
All Blue Gull exercises will be directed by Project Headquarters.
They will make the initial contacts with the Navy. There is an
OPNAV instruction which specifies the proper channels for the Agency
to obtain support from the Navy. It is imperative that all coordin-
ation be made through these channels so as not to alienate the good
working relationship we have with the Navy. Once approval has been
obtained at the Washington level, Project Headquarters will be di-
rected to meet with the appropriate Chief of Staff (COS) for the
Commander Naval Air Forces either Atlantic or Pacific fleet. Those
commands have operational control of stateside carriers. Normally
the following Detachment "G" staff members will be directed to at-
tend this meeting: Commander, Director of Operations, Director of
Materiel, and LSO. In most cases the COS will have the prospective
ship's Commanding Officer present to discuss the operational and
support aspects of the exercise and obtain the final approval from
the ship's operational commander. It is highly desirable to use
the Kitty Hawk and larger class carriers for landing operations.
The Forrestal through Independence class can be utilized. However,
due to the smaller deck configuration, our safety margin is reduced
somewhat. If the article is to be moved to the hangar deck, the
Kitty Hawk and larger class is almost required since the nose of the
ev

?
article would have to be removed to accomodate the hangar bay open-
ing on the Forrestal through Independence class. (See Operations
Annex.) The nose dolly would add an extra 1300 pounds of support
equipment. 20-30 additional minutes are required to remove the
nose.
Once approval for the ship has been received, a determination
will be made by Headquarters Security and the ship's Commanding
Officer on which members of the ship's staff are to be briefed
Idealist. In past exercises it has been advantageous to brief
the ship's C.O., X.O., Operations Officer, Air Officer, and
Communications Officer. The LSO will obtain the following informa-
tion from the ship's Captain's office on each staff member to be
briefed:
a. Name
b. Birth date
c. Birth place
d. Date and Clearing Agency of most recent background inves-
tigation.
This information must be forwarded to Security far enough in
advance so that Headquarters can certify through the Navy that these
people are eligible for an Idealist briefing.
Once the mode of operation and personnel requirements have been
determined, each section should submit to Operations, their personnel
roster and to supply, their cargo manifest for the impending deploy-
ment.
About 2 weeks prior to the exercise, and when directed by
0 Project Headquarters, the ship's staff will be briefed. The Detachment
"G" staff members who participate are the Commander, Director of
Operations, Director of Materiel or Maintenance Supervisor, Security,
LSO,- and Communications. This meeting is usually held aboard the
carrier. (See page 16 for the briefing guide.) This briefing is

?
important in that it may be the only chance to coordinate with the
ship prior to the detachment arriving on board. The briefing has
two purposes: first, to run a survey on the ship's facilities and
second, to insure that the ship's staff has a thorough understand-
ing of the operation. There should be no.unanswered questions at
the completion of this meeting. Video tapes, visual aids, and
movies showing previous exercises should be used to supplement the
briefing.
Prior to the departure of the support equipment and security
courier for the ship, the entire deployment team will receive a
ship's etiquette briefing from the LSO. To prevent possible per-
sonnel injury or embarrassment to the project, this briefing is
mandatory for all detachment members going aboard ship. It is
usually given in conjunction with the Commander's Briefing. (See
page 23.)
The CVA NATOPS Manual delegates the responsibility for pre-
carrier procedures lectures to the individual unit commanders.
"Ship's company personnel should assist when feasible". In our
case this is not feasible. The LSO will fulfill this requirement.
The briefing guide for the driver's carrier procedures is on page
29.
ON BOARD PROCEDURES:
There are two methods to get the detachment aboard. The
first is to walk aboard before the ship leaves port; the other is to
fly aboard via C-1A aircraft, sometimes called the "COD". Once
aboard, a room and telephone list must be prepared for Security and
the detachment must establish a duty officer in our assigned ready
room. During flight quarters, the duty officer should be someone
who has a good operational knowledge of the operation. At other
times, any member of the detachment may act as duty officer. Ar-
rangements will be made to have a cot in the Ready Room so that a

?
duty officer can remain on station in the Ready Room overnight.
A detachment meeting should be called as soon as all personnel
are established aboard to review emergency drill procedures, re-
view the schedule of events, and pass on any other pertinent
information which may include briefings from the ship's staff.
The detachment will be assigned to the Air Officer for emergency
drills and should make their phone reports to the Air Department
Office. Continuing emphasis on our civilian cover story is re-
quired to insure that it is not compromised.
All section heads should meet with their ship's counterpart
as soon as possible (i.e., commo with ships communications offi-
cer). P.E. will brief the Helo crew and the Flight Deck Crash
and Salvage crew on the cockpit and crew escape systems of the
U-2. Security should review the cover story with the Captain
prior to his reading it to the crew. The communications link
with CACTUS will be tested. The navigators will locate AirOps
and familiarize themselves with the ships intercommunications
and AirOps procedures. They will also establish the color code
grid system for passing the ships position to CACTUS. (See
Navigation Annex.) The Maintenance Supervisor should check peri-
odically to insure that all his equipment is secured. He will
need to coordinate an elevator lift with the aircraft handling
officer to move the support equipment from the hangar deck to
the flight deck prior to operations. The LSO will check with
the Lens Room to insure they are familiar with the procedures for
setting and pole checking a 2 3/40 basic angle with a #2 target
wire. (See Operations Annex.)
On the day of the exercise, HF contact should be established
with CACTUS at least one hour prior to the driver's flight briefing.
The overhead time will be confirmed and the ship's weather and ex-
pected position (using color grid) will be passed. The Maintenance
Supervisor will insure that all required support equipment is secured

on the flight deck near the island. At launch time all personnel
will proceed to their assigned stations. Disposition of the
detachment will be at the discretion of the on board commander;
however, the following is recommended:
TITLE STATION
Commander Pri-Fly
Ops Officer Pri-Fly
Mobile Pilot #1 Pri-Fly
LSO LSO Platform
Mobile Pilot #2 LSO Platform
Flight Planners AirOps
Maintenance Supervisor Flight Deck
and Crew
POL and Avionics Flight Deck
Security Island or Bridge and Flight Deck
Commo Pri-Fly or Comm Center
Additionally, at launch time, the Belo crew should go to
Condition I. Prior to the landingsor low approaches, the Captain
will pass to the crew over the 1-MC ("Squawk Box") the cover story
which security gave him. This usually says that this exercise is
part of a joint Lockheed-Office of Naval Research (ONR) project
to determine the feasibility of using the 13-2 as a long range, high
altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) platform. He also advises
the crew of the classification and special rules (no photography
or discussion) concerning the U-2 aboard ship. This story contin-
ues to be very effective as there are very few Navy people outside
of those actually involved who have any knowledge of the operation.
Prior to the aircraft entering the pattern, the cross deck
pendants will be removed. The 13-2 uses no wires for low approaches
or touch-and-go landings. #1 and #2 wires are used for arrestments
with #2 being the target wire for lens setting purposes.

Landings will be conducted as pre-planned until completion
of the exercise or until such time as the Captain or DETCOM deem
it unadvisable or unsafe to continue. Pilot switches will be as
scheduled either on deck or on the beach. Timing is very impor-
tant and all hands should expedite the landings and launches as
much as possible. However, flying and ground safety are para-
mount and must never be compromised to speed the completion of

exercise. This is important to keep in mind since this operation
looks like "slow motion" compared to an operational Navy exercise
and in almost every area, the ship's personnel will try to hurry
our procedures. Once the exercise is complete, the maintenance
crews will repack, move to the hangar deck, and secure their
support equipment. All hands will then check in at the Ready
Room for personnel and equipment off-loading schedules. Appli-
cable message traffic will be sent to CACTUS and Headquarters
prior to the detachment off-loading.
Upon arrival at CACTUS a complete report of the exercise
will be prepared and submitted to Project Headquarters within 10
working days.

ANNEX A
SECURITY
I. The following Blue Gull security measures are applicable for
carrier qualifications and do not supersede the Standard Operating
Instructions for carrier operations dated March 1966. The senior
security officer or his designated representative will institute
the following actions prior to boarding ship: '
A. Accompany briefing team to meet the project approved
Carrier Officers for initial briefing, to include Project briefing
and cover story. During the briefing emphasize that in the event
of an aircraft accident no news release will be made by the ship.
This will be accomplished by the Detachment Commander with Project
Headquarters approval.
B. Coordinate security briefing with Operations for all per-
sons selected for the deployment. Include cover, I.D. cards, and
general security regulations during briefing.
C. Coordinate with Supply Section, the actual movement of
support equipment to the ship with emphasis on a selected security
officer escorting this material.
D. Select a minimum of two security representatives for the
detachment going aboard the carrier.
-?
II. After boarding the ship the following procedures will be insti-
tuted in liaison with the ship's Captain, Executive Officer, and
Marine Detachment Commander:
A. Immediately acquire copies of the room and phone numbers
of all detachment personnel, and provide a copy to the Detcom,
Communications, and ship's Executive Officer. The Marine Detachment
Commander should be given the telephone and room number of security
personnel on board. Also, if applicable, a copy of the access list
should be provided Marine guards if they are used to protect a

sensitive area.
B. Insure that the Captain or his Executive Officer announce
to the entire ship's complement, the general cover story provided
at the initial briefing together with any special rules required
during the short period of time the article is on board ship (no
photography, no discussion of the article on ship, etc.).
C. Insure the article is properly protected during the short
time on deck, (including fuel if applicable).
D. Inspect areas where classified equipment or material are
to be stored to insure adequate protection, especially any
Communications area.
E. Upon completion of the sorties, the Senior Security Officer
will debrief carrier staff members. At this debriefing insure all
materials pertaining to Blue Gull are turned over to the Senior
Security Officer for return to home base (plat tape, cover story,
etc.).
F. Insure all classified material and equipment has been as-
sembled for return to home base. A security officer will be desig-
nated as a courier for return of all classified items to home base.
G. Upon return to home base, prepare a written report for the
information of all security staff members listing any problems that
may have been encountered.

ANNEX B
COMMUNICATIONS
?
?
Carrier Operations Requirements
Communications has two separate requirements during carrier
operations:
I. Staff Communications
The host vessel will be expected to provide over-the-counter
service to or from the communicator assigned as part of the deploy-
ment team. Traffic addressed to or from the deployment team may
be either OTP (five-letter groups) or OTT (scrambled tape) with the
choice dependent on equipment deployed and facilities available
aboard the vessel. If OTT compatible equipment is deployed by us,
the host vessel will be expected to provide secure quarters and
working space for the equivalent on one each M-28 ASR and associ-
ated crypto material. If OTP is used, private office space will be
required by our communicator during the decipherment/encipherment
process.
II. Air-Ground Communications
This unit will ordinarily deploy one each 42-inch (high) equip-
ment rack containing reception/telemetry equipment. Power and
antenna connections should be available and supplied by the host
vessel, and the best possible privacy provided to the installation.
Additionally, the host vessel will be expected to provide on com-
plete HF transceive unit and associated power antennas allowing
Upper Single Sideband Service. Minimum transmitter power output
should be 400 watts with one kilowatt preferred if possible. A
telephone link providing continuing communications between the in-
stalled transceiver telemetry position and the deployment commander
(in PriFly) must be available during all flight operations involving
our vehicle. Dependent on circumstances, the deployment commander
will (usually) require a UHF transceive capability during all flight
operations involving our vehicle.

ANNEX C
SUPPLY
The scope of the operation will determine the amount of sup-
port equipment required. The more comprehensive the operation, the
more equipment required and vice versa. The attached sample mani-
fest was for the initial qualification Of the .IJ-2R and four opera-
tional drivers, in addition to side movement and striking the
aircraft below to the hangar deck. The 7,603 pounds and 766 cube
numbers are quite representative of an operation of this magnitude.
Also included is the listing for the Package "A" carrier kit, for
a Phase I deployment taken from the Detachment "G" Mobility Plan
1-69.
For Blue Gull operations, the Supply Section needs the list
of equipment to be sent by each section at least 48 hours in ad-
vance of the scheduled departure so that a manifest can be prepared.
The actual equipment will be delivered to the hangar designated by
Supply no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure.

C. DUTIES ABOARD CARRIER:
1. Locate "Air Operations" (Air Ops), called Carrier
Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC). It should be adjacent to the
"Combat Information Center" (CIC) and "Carrier Control Approach"
(CCA). Discuss relay of bingo information to "Primary Flight
Control" (PRI-FLY) and arrange to obtain estimated ship's posi-
tion for the first "Charlie" time. This should be transmitted
to "Home Plate" two (2) hours prior to the first scheduled take-
off. Give "Bingo Board" to Operations Officer.
2. Prior to the first "Charlie" time determine ship's
position and compute bingo information, i.e., Fuel, HDG, Dist,
Time for each suitable emergency airfield. The ship;s position
can be obtained from the ship's navigator on the bridge or from
CIC. Normally bingo information is updated every 30 minutes and
called to Pri-Fly.
D. USE OF BINGO FUEL PLOTTER:
1. Draw a reference line on plotter using average area
variation so that Mag Hdgs can be read directly from the plotter.
4.

2. Plot ship's position on chart.
3. Obtain 23,000 ft enroute wind from Air Ops or Home
Plate and plot the Mag wind vector with tail on the ship's pos-
ition.
4. Determine approximate time to alternate airfield '
and place the center of the plotter a proportionate distance
down the wind vector.
5. Align reference line with true north and read:
Fuel, Hdg, Dist (ground miles), time directly from the plotter.
NOTE: Plotter is accurate for a climb to 23,000 ft,
cruise at 170K IAS and arrive over the terminal fix with 60 gals
remaining. For bingo bases less than 30NM, use sea level diver-
sion graph. An enroute descent is advised if terminal weather is
marginal.
E. NAUTICAL TERMS:
1. Fox corpen - Ship's heading.
2. Charlie - Cleared for approach.
3. Charlie time - touch down time.
4. Delta - Hold, pending approach.
5. Clara - No meatball.
6. Feet Dry - over land.
Feet Wet - Over water.
7. Bingo - Proceed to alternate.
8. Trap - Full stop landing.
F. SHIP POSITION:
Attached is a sample color-coded chart which can be used
to pass the ships position over the radio without compromising its
actual location.

1. Select the reference point (above example 33%, 120?W) prior to deployment.
Use the approximate operating area as designated by the ship at the pre-sail
briefing.
2. Plot the reference point and the ship's actual position (33?30'N, 119?42'W)
3. Encode the ship's position by using the color code and minutes of latitude
and longtitude. In the example above, count up from reference point
30 minutes of latitude along the Blue vector and count out from the reference
point 18 minutes of longitude along the red. (Blue 30, Red 18)

FRESNEL LENS SETTINGS
I. PURPOSE: To define procedures for U-2 carrier operations
utilizing the Mark 6 Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System. This
system will provide the pilot with a visual indication of his
relative position with respect to a prescribed glide slope.
II. DEFINITIONS:
A. Lens Distance from Center. Distance from center line
of landing area to center line of the Fresnel Lens.
B. Lens Factor A. Represents the number of feet the glide
slope will be raised or lowered vertically for a corresponding in-
crease or decrease of. one unit of roll angle.
C. Lens Factor Be Represents the "ramp to eye" value for
a particular basic angle with the lens set at 7.5 units (no roll
angle tilt).
D. Roll Angle. Input to the lens unit to raise or lower
prescribed glide slope to accommodate the aircraft (U-2) "hook to
eye" value.
E. Hook Touch Down Point. The distance forward of the ramp
that the hook will hit the deck if the pilot were to fly the "meat-
ball" to touch down.
III. PROCEDURES:
A. Technical information for setting the Mark 6 Fresnel Lens
basic angle is as follows:
1. Set controls to Line Mode, Stabilization Zero Lock,
Roll Angle. 7.5 and Basic Angle 3 degrees.
2. Monitor A500 Pitch Deck Edge Response Indicators and
adjust Strip Pitch Potentiometer A534R2, for pitch angle of 2 3/4
degrees.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/06/14: CIA-RDP90B00184R000100080001-0
?
3. Mask the Basic Angle Dials on the Remote Control
Panels; then make new marking for 2 3/4 degrees, 3 degrees, 3 1/2
degrees and 4 degrees for read outs from Pitch Deck Edge Response
Indicators.
4. Verify Basic Angle settings with Deck Edge Pole
Checks:
At 79 ft mark, 2 3/4 deg 42.1 inches
3 deg 45.7 inches
3 1/2 deg 54.5 inches
At 69 ft mark, 4 deg 54.5 inches
Tolerances on Pole Checks plus or minus one inch.
5. With above modification, Fresnel Lens is operational
in Line Mode, Gyro Normal. Point mode stabilization is not valid.
6. To restore normal configuration readjust Strip Pitch
Potentiometer and remove mask from Basic Angle Dials.
B. Roll Angle Settings and Hook Touch Down Points are included
in the chart in Attachment 2. The U-2 has a 10 ft hook to eye value.
All roll angles were computed for 10 ft hook to ramp clearance.
