shuttle has moved aft and assurance is received that the catapult is safe. 3. The charging panel operator shall perform the following actions in exact order: 1)    Depress the suspend pushbutton. 2)    Remove the cotter pin and unscrew the pin from the emergency cutout valve. 3)    Rotate  the  emergency  cutout  valve  to  the emergency position. 4)    Depress and hold the maneuver aft pushbutton for 15 seconds. 5)    Report   to   the   launching   officer   via   the monitor operator that the catapult is safe. 4. The  launching  officer  transmits  verbally  that the   catapult   is   safe   and   signals   the   safety observer a thumbs up in daytime or a red wand signal at night. 5. If   the   shuttle   did   not   move   aft   during   the preceding   steps,   the   launching   officer   shall direct   the   charging   panel/retraction   engine operator,  via  the  monitor  operator,  to  depress and hold the manual override on the maneuver aft valve for 15 seconds. 6. After  receiving  assurance  that  the  catapult  is safe  and  observing  that  the  shuttle  is  aft,  the safety observer steps in front of the aircraft and in  view  of  the  pilot,  gives  the  throttle  back signal. The normal suspend/abort are accomplished  for  aircraft  removal  from  the catapult. 7. After  aircraft  removal  from  the  catapult  has been accomplished, the launching officer shall set the CSV command to a no-load setting and ensure  that  CSV  confirmed  and  match  lights come on. 8. The emergency cutout valve shall remain in the emergency   position   until   the   maintenance officer  authorizes  rotation  of  the  valve  to  the normal position. 9. The catapult is placed in a down status until the cause of the hangfire is determined, corrected, and two satisfactory no-load launches accomplished. NON-INTEGRATED CATAPULT CONTROL STATION (ICCS) HANGFIRE PROCEDURES In  the  event  the  catapult  does  not  fire  within  10 seconds   after   the   fire   pushbutton   is   depressed,   a hangfire exists. At this time, the launch sequence must be stopped and the aircraft removed from the catapult. The actions to be taken and the order in which they are accomplished   are   paramount   to   the   success   of   the procedure. WARNING If   a   hangfire   occurs,   the   execution   of   the hangfire   procedure   must   be   accomplished. Even  if  the  cause  of  the  hangfire  is  quickly determined  and  can  be  easily  resolved,  the actions of all topside crew members and pilot are  not  known  and  interrupted  firing  of  the catapult could have catastrophic consequences. The  only  corrective  action  authorized  is  the performance of the hangfire procedure. 1. The   launching   officer   shall   remain   in   the crouched position and signals in exact order: 1)    Suspend 2)    Hangfire 3)    Maneuver aft 2. The   launching   officer   shall   remain   in   the crouched position and shall not take any action toward  the  removal  of  the  aircraft  until  the shuttle has moved aft and assurance is received that the catapult is safe. 3. The  deckedge  operator  depresses  the  suspend switch   and   transmits   to   the   main   control console operator, “rotate the emergency cutout valve, rotate the emergency cutout valve.” 4. The    main    control    console    operator    shall perform the following actions in exact order: 1)    Depress the suspend pushbutton. 2)    Remove the cotter pin and unscrew the pin from the emergency cutout valve. 3)    Rotate  the  emergency  cutout  valve  to  the emergency position. 4)    Depress and hold the maneuver aft pushbutton for 15 seconds. 5)    Report  verbally  to  the  deckedge  operator that the catapult is safe. 5. The   deckedge   operator   upon   receiving   the assurance   from   the   main   control   console operator,  signals  to  the  launching  officer,  the hangfire   signal   followed   by   thumbs   up   in daytime or a red wand signal at night. 4-63
