Figure: 3 Containment Area

Raytheon

Include information on airspeed, altitude, number of flight hours, number of flights and program duration for each test flight area.

Airspeed: 35-100 KIAS

Altitude: 2000 AGL and below

Winds: 20 KTS headwind, 10 KTS crosswind

Flight Hours: 300 flight hours per year

2-3 flight days per week during the workweek. Weekend flying will occur only once per quarter.

Duration: 1 year for this application, with renewal annually.

What class of airspace will be used?

FAA Class E and G.

Will minimum fuel requirements of 14 CFR § 91.151 be met?

Yes, a fuel reserve minimum of 30 minutes for day flying will be maintained.

Will flight-testing include payload testing?

Yes. Various Electro Optic, passive and RF sensors will be tested. Frequency management will be coordinated with the FAA, FCC Western Region and Fort Huachuca frequency managers.

What considerations need to be taken with regard to Payloads?

Considerations include size, weight, power requirements, EMI/RFI, drag, data communications and additional crew.

Size and weight of the payload will affect the aircraft weight and balance and maximum gross weight. The power draw on the onboard electrical system and backup batteries must also be considered. EMI/RFI might affect the aircraft as well as the payload. If the payload is external or has external components such as antennae, the drag increase must be evaluated. If the payload requires additional data communications, the effect on the available bandwidth and data priority as compared to command and control data will be evaluated. The addition of a payload will affect the workload of the crew depending on its complexity. The workload will be evaluated and an additional crew member added if required to operate the sensor. The addition of flight crewmembers or additional training will be considered when required for new payload operations.

Will the aircraft perform any aerobatic maneuvers?

No

Flight Conditions (e.g., VFR, IFR, VMC, etc.)

Day VFR only. All testing, training and demonstration will be conducted in Day VFR conditions.
