What is the name of the 80T-105?
CV NATOPS Manual
What is the carrier control zone?
The airspace within a circular limit defined by 5 miles horizontal radius from the carrier extending upward from the surface to and including 2500’.
What is the carrier control area?
A circular airspace within a radius of 50 nm around the carrier, extending upward from the surface to infinity.
What are the cases of CVN launches and recoveries?
Case I - No lower than 3000’-5 SM
Case II - No lower than 1000’-5 SM
Case III - Lower than 1000’-5 SM or a nighttime departure or recovery (1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise)
Positive Control
Controlling agency has radar and radio contact with the aircraft, a published approach or departure procedure is complied with, or specific heading and altitude instructions are given by controller.
Advisory Control
Controlling agency monitors radar and radio contact and provides traffic advisories.
Monitor Control
The monitoring of radar and radio channels for emergency transmissions.
Nonradar Control
Pilot flies according to a published procedure or as prescribed by the controlling agency. Only used in emergency, when all shipboard air control radar is inoperative or unusable.
CVN Launch Weather Minimums
200-1/2
Red Light
The local time at which a helicopter is no longer SAR capable and has approximately 30 minutes of flight time remaining.
Helicopter Departure Restrictions
Helos shall take departure to port and shall not cross the bow within 5 nm or the stern within 3 nm without clearance.
Caution about launching with aircraft turning in the six pack
Launching of helicopters from Spots 4, 5, and 6 should be avoided to prevent hot gas ingestion (potential for compressor stall).
What is the name of the “keyhole”?
Helicopter Restrictions During Fixed Wing Launch/Recoveries
What are the keyhole restrictions?
No operations without air officer approval - 1 nm 360 degrees. Out to 3 nm off the stern (150-190 degrees relative). Out to 5 nm off the bow (340-020 degrees relative).
Operations below 200’ - 5-10 nm off the bow (340-020).
Operations below 300’ - 150-340 out to 5 nm.
Operations below 400’ - 020-150 out to 5 nm. 020-340 from 5-10 nm.
Lost Comms
Remain at or below 300’, arc to enter starboard delta, execute lost comms procedures. Squawk 7600, fly close aboard starboard quarter with hover light on for immediate landing, or navigation lights flashing bright with anti-collision on if you desire to land but can wait until next recovery.
Starboard Delta
045 outbound, 110 inbound. 300’ and 3-5 nm arc in to 1 nm and back out.
Can FCFs be conducted concurrently with fixed wing operations?
Yes
What are the helicopter approach minimums?
ASR/TACAN - 300’-3/4
ACLS Mode III - 200’-1/2
Can you open the door when a helicopter is taking off or landing in the spot in front of you?
No
What do you need to takeoff or engage/disengage rotors with a roll > 4 degrees while the ship is in a turn?
CO approval, winds and ship’s heel communicated to the HAC.
Plane Guard Distances
Day - 20 nm
Night - 10 nm
Spot 7 Restriction with Engaged Rotors and Fixed Wing in tension Catapults 3 and 4
Can not let personnel in the rotor arc
Can Spot 8 be utilized with fixed wing in tension on Catapults 3 and 4?
No
Starboard approaches and departures are prohibited from what spot?
Spot 2
Can you hot refuel on Spot 8?
No
What spot can’t be utilized during fixed wing launches and recoveries?
Spot 8
Left seat visual recoveries to Spots 2 and 3?
Not recommended to Spot 2.
Prohibited to Spot 3.
Left seat visual recoveries to Spots 4, 5, 6?
Represent an increased risk to the LSE. LSE should be positioned inboard of the catapult four safe parking line in the same general location as right seat recoveries.
Cross cockpit recoveries forward of an occupied spot?
Not recommended
What are concurrent operations and what spots are they allowed to?
Concurrent operations include H-60 ground turns, takeoffs, and landings during fixed wing flight operations. Spots 2 and 7.
Spot Restriction with an H-46, H-47, H-53, or V-22?
Spots immediately forward and aft shall remain vacant.
HERP considerations for CVN-78
No restrictions Spot 3 and forward.
Operations forward of the island (Spots 4-6), within a 450 ft radius, at a height of 24 feet above the flight deck shall not exceed 180 seconds.
Operations aft of the island (Spots 7-9), within a 450 ft radius, at a height of 32 feet above the flight deck shall not exceed 80 seconds.
Centerline recoveries going from aft to forward of the island shall not exceed 80 seconds at a height above 24 feet above the flight deck.
If additional flight time is required, aircraft shall wave off and remain outside of 450 feet for 280 seconds.
VERTREP, high hover FCF, and any other operations within 450 feet of the island that exceed that time, the ship shall establish no radiate sectors.
De-arming Spots
Spot 4 is primary. Spots 3, 5, and 6 are secondary.
Second aircraft with ordnance will not land for de-arming until first aircraft is de-armed.
Hung Ordnance
Advise tower, set HERO, land spot 7 or 9 with starboard side CSW. If Spot 9, land BRC +15.
If hung forward firing ordnance, shall not land Spot 7.
Hung Dome
Land Spot 9 with 4 maintainers at the ready. Consider LSE in Vulture’s Row. Ensure dome is grounded prior to handling. Cable will be walked with two person integrity, place cable paid out in helo before shutdown.
Can you transport a passenger with the GAU-21 installed?
No, you shall remove GAU-21 and swing arm before transporting passengers.
When shall transient helicopters contact marshal control?
25 nm out. Expect to proceed direct to starboard delta for recovery.
What profile shall helicopters fly in the holding pattern?
300’ 80 knots
