Relative wind as close as possible to being down the lineup line at the maximum wind speed allowed by the appropriate wind envelope.

116

118
Q

Significant Wave Height

A

Average height (trough to crest) of the one-third highest waves valid for the indicated period.

119
Q

Landing Lineup Line and Circle

A

Obstruction clearance is ensured when the aircraft lands with the main mounts, nose wheel, or forward skid cross tube within the landing circle and the fuselage centerline aligned with the lineup line.

120
Q

Vertical Replenishment Dash Line

A

Obstacle clearance is ensured only when the aircraft hovers with the centerline of the aircraft directly over the line. An obstacle free approach is ensured only when the approach is made along the dashed line.

121
Q

During flight operations, only those personnel whose ________ ____ ________ shall be allowed in the flight operations area.

All other personnel shall remain ______ or _______ ______.

A

Presence is required.

Clear or below decks.

122
Q

Three Warnings with Yellow and Red Regions

A

Yellow regions indicate a hazard of 2 feet of water over the flight deck which may damage aircraft or wash personnel overboard or into the aircraft fuselage.

Ship operation in the Red and Yellow regions of the Wave Hazard Plots with aircraft and/or personnel on the deck may cause injury or death.

Ship operation in the Red regions presents a significant risk of sea water impacting the engaged H-60 rotor system. Contact between an engaged rotor system and the sea can result in catastrophic rotor damage and the loss of aircrew and flight deck personnel.

123
Q

When do the red and yellow regions of wave hazard plots apply?

A

With aircraft and/or personnel on the flight deck.

124
Q

Note about Operations in the White Region

A

Operating in the White regions or in seas below 8 feet does not eliminate the risk of water impacting the rotor system or washing over the flight deck.

125
Q

Note about Turning Prior to Slowing

A

Attempting to turn prior to slowing may place the aircrew and flight deck personnel in even more hazardous conditions. Comply with Maneuvering Speed Limit restrictions while turning with personnel and/or an aviation asset on the flight deck.

126
Q

A

No

127
Q

Can the M240 and GAU-21 be loaded in the hangar?

A

Yes

128
Q

Can Hellfire be loaded in the hangar?

A

No

129
Q

Can torpedo be loaded in the hangar?

A

Yes

130
Q

Can chaff dispenser be loaded in the hangar?

A

Dispenser can but chaff and flare can not.

131
Q

Helicopter transfers shall not be conducted from surface ships that are not certified or waivered except in extreme situations such as _______ ________.

A

Emergency MEDEVAC

132
Q

What are the two things you can do in emergency situations?

A

MEDEVAC from an uncertified ship

Transfer of passengers by hoist at night

Night Passengers
Night sub transfers
Overflight of ships with external load
Liquid oxygen
Cold weather pax transfer
Manual deck handling

135
Q

Green deck

A

Indicating flight deck, shipboard, environmental, and aircraft conditions are in prescribed limits to safely launch and/or recover aircraft from flight deck, or to conduct VERTREP or HIFR operations. Course or speed changes SHALL not be made by the ship in this condition.

136
Q

Amber Deck

A

Indicating a helicopters rotors are between the stopped and full rotational speed positions during rotor engagement or disengagement. Also used when the aircraft is not chocked and chained to the deck, I.e. straightening/traversing/towing/maintenance evolutions.

137
Q

Red deck

A

Indicating that conditions on the flight deck are not favorable for aircraft operations that would occur during amber or green deck. The ship is free to safely maneuver as required.

138
Q

Hung droop in 122

A

LSE shall clear the deck and all personnel, ship shall get minimum winds and turbulence conditions.

139

A

Up to 8ft
8 to 10ft
10 to 12ft

140
Q

Lost Comm- I am proceeding to the divert

A

Fly up the starboard side of the ship, rocking wings with navigation lights Bright and Steady and anti collision lights On. Upon reaching divert fuel state proceed alone, setting IFF to emergency when departing.

141
Q

What is the warning about deviating from prescribed initial tie down configuration?

A

Deviation from the prescribed initial tie down configuration is not authorized prior to launch, as deviations may lead to an oversight of tiedown removal, which may result in an attempt to launch with tiedowns attached.
This condition may result in uncontrolled flight, dynamic rollover, or loss of aircraft and crew.
