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.
