PART V-EMERGENCY HANDLING

          and flaps only, after selecting the desired service by
          normal selector lever. Up to 115 strokes of the hand
          pump may be necessary to lower the undercarriage fully.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Page 62   (c)  If Mod. 3627 is embodied select the desired service and, if the 
Para              main accumulator has insufficient pressure, move the
83 (c)            EMERGENCY HYDRAULICS lever fully aft.
A.L.1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
     (d)  In an emergency the undercarriage may be retracted on
          the ground provided that electric power and a certain
          minimum hydraulic pressure are available and provided
          that either U/C OVERRIDE switch is set to up. The
          hand pump may be used if normal pressure is not avail-
          able or Mod. 3627 is not embodied.

     84.  Bomb and drop tank jettisoning

          Jettison drop tanks or bombs and bomb racks in straight
          and level flight at any speed up to 260 knots, by pulling
          back the WING TANKS JETTISON lever.

     85.  Flapless landing

          When landing without flaps the approach is very flat and
          the aircraft requires a long landing run. Speed falls off
          slowly, and little power is required. Maintain a minimum
          airspeed of 140 knots until the final turn into wind is
          completed, then reduce speed to 130 knots for the
          approach. Cross the runway threshold at 115 knots.

     86.  G.G.S. emergency lowering

          If either gunsight fails to lower normally, strike the
          emergency lowering knob, adjacent to the affected gun-
          sight, a sharp blow with the hand.

Page 62 87.  Abandoning the aircraft 
Para. 87        NOTE.-The second pilot should eject first, followed by the captain.
A.L.3                       The minimum conditions for safe ejection are 200 feet and
(a)(b)(c)                   120 knots in level flight.
 
            (a)  If possible achieve an optimum speed of 200 knots; this however
                   is of secondary importance to aircraft altitude and attitude.

            (b)  Set the parachute container fully back, lower the seat and visor.

            (c)  Retract the gun sights and jettison the hood.
