c-130j not all fighter pilots fly fighters
- Thread starter flaps
- Start date
Jet automatically trims for 1G flight (flaps up). You still need to trim aileron and sometimes rudder---but once the ball is centered up I rarely touch rudder trim for the rest of the flight.
You do need to trim the jet in pitch when it's dirty, but you're trimming for a certain AOA (which is visible in the HUD as you trim)/
I can understand some single-seat guys not being on board with how they conducted the flight (particularly with the comm flow) - it's just not what you do on a daily basis. However, this is an excellent example of effective CRM in a multi-piloted aircraft performing what are certainly non-standard maneuvers. It was a good push and pull of information, good checks and balances, good SA, etc. I wouldn't expect that kind of comm flow on a straight and level flight on the airways, but again, this demo was not a Mk-1, Mod-0 Herc flight.
BTW, if I was a gambling man, I'd wager that Bud Holland's cockpit was not run quite as well as this one was.
so hornet guys have a machine to handle all their trim? We P-3 guys still like our trim the old fashioned way...

i can relate. the only thing i fly is an acrobatic glider. if i have a passenger, my verbage is quite similar the the herk driver's in the video. it's not something i (or he) really does a lot. he's talking to himself as much as anybody else, not something a full time fighter guy needs to do.
btw, i tell passengers the reason i put them in front is that i need the crumple zone.

There are times when we've got a lot going on, and it's nice not having to worry about trimming all the time.
I'm a retard.
Trim we can all appreciate.
Sorry but these are obivously copyrighted trim pictures and can get Websan in trouble. Go takes some pictures of your hot wives and girlfriends and post that trim here instead.....
HAL Pilot (being the bad guy once again)
Yeah, I figured that a fighter pilot, of all people, would pick up on that.
hey! that second one down looks like my grandson's room mate.
You should probably hang out more often with your grandson
