Worth, 2 August, 1985. Different escape strategies were tested using the flight performance characteristics of the U. S. Navy's P-3 "Orion" and T-44 "Pegasus" aircraft. The three flight phases investigated were approach to landing , takeoff, and the low altitude ASW mission. Results from the analysis were coupled with the pilot's view-point from which conclusions were drawn. The results of the analysis support a constant-pitch-angle escape procedure. The same procedural steps can be used for both aircraft in any configuration or situation with the difference being the degree ofpitch to employ. The conclusions are in a format for integrating specific microburst escape procedures within the NATOPS programs for the P-3 and T-44 aircraft. iii
