between spraying runs, check each nozzle to
determine if any leakage occurs. Should difficulty
occur in any of these areas (i.e., full flow or
shutoff), consult the operator's manual.
39. Calibrate the system. Make sure to adjust the psi
to obtain the desired rate of flow. The nozzle tips
should be no larger than TeeJet 8006's.
40. Attend the flight briefing if one is scheduled. If not,
ensure that the pilots and crew are familiar with the
mission, what is to be accomplished, altitude,
speed, etc.
41. Remove the flagging from the boom.
IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES
42. Conduct the spraying on a straight and level path.
Slight turns and minor changes in elevation are
acceptable. NEVER HOVER WHILE THE SPRAY
UNIT IS OPERATING. GROSS CONTAMINATION
OF THE AIRCRAFT WILL RESULT.
43. Spray at right angles to the wind, starting down
wing and working upwind. Spraying can be done
with the boom on either the windward or leeward
side of the aircraft.
44. When the pesticide has been exhausted, add 5
gallons of flushing solution and spray this material
in flight until depleted. Do not run the pump without
fluid in the system.
