Before Flight Servicing on JP's

This may be of help.

Hi Matt

I have a copy of an A.P.101B-2304-1, Jet Provost Mk.4 General and Technical Information Manual, on CD-Rom.

Section 2, Ground Handling and Preparation for Flight, section 2, preparation for flight may be of some help to you.

I would be happy to post a copy off to you if you PM me an address, if it helps. I also have Pilot’s notes and the electrical manual on CD-Rom as well if you want copies.

The most important item on any JP pre flight is the pre oiling of the engine main bearings, it must be done every time the engine has not been run for 21 days, as the oil drains away into the tramp oil tank. Every single ex RAF, JP fitter we ever met drilled this into us, without it, the engine will be trashed in no time at all.

As you know, Max and I have quite a bit of JP expirience, so if we can be of help, please ask. And send that address if you want the disc’s.
Best wishes,
Ritch Blood.

The CAA’s CAP637 has illustrations on marshalling –

Doesn’t cover stuff like “bomb doors open” but that shouldn’t be a problem on a JP

Hi Matt

As an ex CI, the Cadet ACP does cover some marshalling signals and techniques, however there used to be an Air Diagram that covered the most common signals to be used. Have a word with Cottesmore APFS to see if they can ident it for you.

Got a 700 for a Gazelle somewhere at work… I can do the biz with that, but it will have to be after the weekend..

Chris

still after the F700 form of the flight servicing it’ll be specifically set out for a JP anyone out there with an aircraftlog for their old JP will have one, which i can blank out of recreate on the comp

As a former RAF Cranwell Jet Provost Handling Flight liney for 5 years (1974 – 79) all you need paperwork wise is a ‘fag packet’ and pen to record the fatigue figures and fuel load. As far as marshalling signals goes why not invent your own – we did! Loosley based on what the manual said! :diablo::diablo::D

No wonder your pilots could never understand us at Linton when they visited, we did it the right way…..:D:D:D
