DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS
WASIDNGTON, D.
C. 20350
LETTER OF PROMULGATION
1. The Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures standardization
Program (NATOPS) is a positive approach towards improving combat
readiness and achieving a substantial reduction in the aircraft accident
rate. standardization, based on professional knowledge and experience,
provides the basis for development of an efficient and sound operational
procedure. The standardization program is not planned to stifle
individual initiative but rather, to aid the Commanding Officer in in-
creasing his unit's combat potential without reducing his command
p restige or responsibility. .
2. This manual standardizes ground and flight procedures but does not
include tactical doctrine. Compliance with the stipulated manual proce-
dure is mandatory except as authorized herein. In order to remain
effective, NATOPS must be dynamiC and stimulate rather than suppress
individual thinking. Since aviation is a continuing progressive profession,
it is both desirable and necessary that new ideas and new techniques be
expeditiously evaluated and incorporated if proven to be sound. To this
end Type/Fleet/Air Group /A ir Wing/Squadron Commanders and subordi-
nates are obligated, authorized and directed to modify procedures contained
herein , in accordance with OPNAV Instruction 3510.9 series and applicable
dire ctives, for the purpose of assessing new ideas, in a practical way,
prior to initiating recommendations for permanent changes . This manual
is prepared and kept current by the users in order to achieve maximum
readiness and safety in the most efficient and economical manner. Should
conflict exist between the training and operating procedures found in this
manual and those found in other publications, this manual will govern.
3. Checklists and other pertinent extracts from this publication necessary
to normal operations and training should be made and may be carried in
Naval Aircraft for use therein. It is forbidden to make copies of this
entire publicatio n or major portions thereof without specific authority of
the Chief of Naval Operations.

FLIGHT MANUAL INTERIM CHANGES (FMIC)
Flight Manual Interim Changes (FMIC'S) are changes
or correCtions to the NATOPS Fligbt Manuals, Pocket
Cbeck Lists,
and Supplementary publications promul-
gated by CNO or NA VAIR. FMIC'S may be received
by the individual custodian as a printed page or pages,
or by
the command as a Naval Message. After the
completion of the action directed by a printed FMIC,
it shall be retained in front of the flyleaf of the manual
unless the FMIC contains authorization
to discard the
page.
INTERIM CHANGE SUMMARY
The Interim Change Summary in each manual is pro-
vided for the purpose of maintaining a complete record
of all FMIC'S issued to the manual. Eacb time tbe
manual is changed or revised, the Interim Change
Summary will be up-dated to indicate disposition
andlor incorporation of previously issued FMIC'S.
When a regular change is received, the Interim Change
Summary should be checked to ascertain that all out-
standing FMIC's have been either incorporated or can-

AIRCRAFT
DESCRIPTION
The F-SD and F-SE ace single-place, carrier- or land-
based supersonic
aircraft equipp ed with radar to pro-
vide an all-weather comh at capahility_ The F-SE is
equipped to carry wing StOres which further increases
its combat capability_
The aircraft (figure 1-1) is identified by a long
slender fuselage with a large air intake duct mounted
under the nose section, and two ventral fins mounted
on the lower aft section. A thin, swept-back, two-
position wing is mounted higb on the fuselage and
PRINCIPAL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
is raised for takeoff and landing. The wing contains
an integral fuel cell and incorporates flaps, ailerons
(which also serve as flaps when the wing is raised)
and a full-span leading edge droop_ The entire hori-
zontal tail moves as a unit to provide elevator control.
A single, large speed brake is mounted on the fuselage
underside just forward of the main landing gear.
Figure 1-2 presents the general arrangement of the
aircraft.
The arrangements of the F-SO and F- SE cockpit in-
strument boards and consoles are illustrated in figures
1-3 through 1-5_
