RI-11 (I4201):  7/30/05
 
- 1.8 DME = 1 DME from runway at NGP.  Config at least 1 NM prior to runway.  Use VDP (1.7 Here)
- F2F -> RYNOL/KLEIN from Sinton, anticipate DME Decrease before increase.
- Holding @ RYNOL/KLEIN: DME, Not timing.

•	Departure Procedures
* For obstacle avoidance, when anything breaks the 40:1 OIS.  Several different options exist for avoiding the obstacle
- Nonstandard takeoff mins ('see and avoid'):  ceilings and vis have to be high enough to allow the pilot to see and avoid the obstacle.
- Min climb gradient: A/C can consider the departure diverse if they can maintain a higher climb gradient to get past the obstacle.  Prohibited for obstacles very close (200') to rwy due to excessive climb.  
- Specific routing: By prescribing altitudes and headings before turning in certain directions, the obstacle can be missed.  This is the least wx or a/c demanding, but requires more piloting.

•	IFR Lost Comms 
* In General: Routing: Assigned, Vectored, Expected, Filed.  Altitudes: Assigned, MEA, Expected (Highest.)
* Local NORDO: 
Immed after T/O: 
1. Climb/Maintain 1500 on last assigned hdg.
2. If no comms in 3 mins, climb/maintain 2500.
3.  Upon reaching 2500, turn direct approach fix, execute approach.
Cleared to 2500/above:
1.  Climb to last assigned hdg/alt.
2. Proceed dir IAF, exec approach.
In GCA Pattern:  
No trans for 1 min, proc dir IAF, exec approach.
On Final:
Attempt to contact tower, proceed VFR, land.  If unable, intercept instrument approach course, or climb/maintain 1,500', proc dir IAF, exec approach.
* Local Ops: Coded flight plans/Deps in IFG.

•	Oxygen System
* Used to provide O2 > 10k feet cabin alt.  (13k for 3 hrs.: 3710) 49 cu-ft container behind pressure bulkhead.  Servicing through a panel.  Two gages: front, and in aft fuselage inside servicing cover.  Below 20k feet, O2 can be used in NORM position.  17k-20k, 100% turns on automatically.  Store in 100% O2 position.  3.7 Liters per minute consumption.  Passengers plug in and turn.  43 min w/3 man crew @ 10k ft., w/1850 psi.  (~10 min. with 3 man-crew, 100% O2 and 1000 psi., under stress.)  Never count on more than 15 mins.
