===Crew Workflow===
 +
 +
The procedures described here aim to ensure a common view of the workflow during assignments in order to facilitate the change of staff. Pilots and WSOs knows who do what and when even if it’s the first time flying together.</br>
 +
 +
The division of responsibilities between the front and back seats is very different than on other platforms such as the F-14, here both crew members control 90% of the F-15E's abilities. This means in a way that the coordination within the crew needs to be more structured and well practiced unlike the F-14 where it comes more naturally who does what due to the fact that some systems are limited to the front/back seat.
 +
 +
<u>General responsibilities</u>
 +
* Crewmember in control of the aircraft
 +
:- Flying
 +
:- Accomplish procedures in need of immediate response (Gear/flaps up, etc.)
 +
:- Call for checklist items as required
 +
 +
* Crewmember not in control of the aircraft
 +
:- Perform navigation duties as required
 +
:- Assist in monitoring flight progress
 +
:- Assist in monitoring systems and detecting system malfuncions
 +
:- Initiate required checklist items
 +
:- Monitor instruments during climbs/descents and advise of any deviations from established parameters
 +
 +
<u>Responsibilities by role:</u>
 +
* Pilot
 +
:- Flight coordination
 +
:- Air-to-Air combat
 +
:- Comms within own flight
 +
 +
* WSO
 +
:- Setup and manage weapons, radios, waypoints etc.
 +
:- AN/APG-70 Radar
 +
:- AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN TGT Pod
 +
:- Air-to-Ground combat
 +
:- Comms with Tower, AWACS and other flights
 +
 +
===Airfield===
 +
====Startup====
 +
 +
You find the Quickstart Procedure [https://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Quickstart_Checklists here]. </br>
 +
Steps highlighted in red/blue (light/dark version) should not be skipped or passed before carried out. All other steps between those marked red/blue can be performed in any order.</br>
 +
 +
e.g </br>
 +
- The pilot must notify the WSO when R engine is up before proceeding to start the next one.</br>
 +
- The pilot must check with the WSO that the position is correct before starting INS ALIGN.</br>
 +
 +
These steps are designed to minimize the risk of errors during start-up and to synchronize the crew and flight.

Startup

You find the Quickstart Procedure here.
Steps highlighted in red/blue (light/dark version) should not be skipped or passed before carried out. All other steps between those marked red/blue can be performed in any order.

e.g
- The pilot must notify the WSO when R engine is up before proceeding to start the next one.
- The pilot must check with the WSO that the position is correct before starting INS ALIGN.

These steps are designed to minimize the risk of errors during start-up and to synchronize the crew and flight.

Taxi / Takeoff
