jrsteensen Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Anyone have any more detailed checklists available for this other than what's available from the NATOPS?

Andrei Dragovic Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) A1-F18AC-NFM-500 NATOPS Pocket Checklist is the best one. It has a streamlined checklist in the front of it. The manual is declassified but there is no complete copy of it available anywhere for free. There are, however, a few Flight Manual sites that sell physical and/or digital copies of the manual.

AcroGimp Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The USN Pilot's Pocket Checklist for the Hornet in physical form would be surprisingly big - I wrote the Flight Manual and PPCL for the T-6A Texan II back in '99-2000 timeframe and as I recall the PCL was almost 200 pages where the Flight Manual was maybe 800-ish pages I think. Because the T-6A was a joint USAF/USN program we developed the Flight Manual as an Air Force -1 and the checklist as a USN style NATOPS Pocket Checklist - I believe the contract switched the checklist to USAF style after I left in '01. What most simmers would expect as a quick reference checklist was not a deliverable from Beechcraft to USAF/USN so not sure if there would be a shorter one for the Hornet. I load the flight manual and checklists for both the real and sim aircraft I fly onto my tablet that I use as an EFB/Kneeboard for reference when flying/simming so the NATOPS PCL will be part of my loadout once the Hornet comes online.
