NVG LZ approaches and landings…
Squadron SOP
SHALL only be conducted when the HAC has flown 1.0 hour NVD time within the previous 45 days.
Instrument currency
2 hrs within 60 days
Radius of action
150 NM ship to ship or shore to ship.
200NM ship to shore.
Low level flight altitudes
Overland: -Populated: 1000' -Unpopulated: 500' Over water -Day: 50' -Unaided night: 200' -Aided night: 150' *NOTE: flight operations down to 50 feet over water during the day is intended to for operational or tactical training flights where the altitude profiles support authorized mission objectives.
SACT training altitude
Day: 100’
Night: 500’
If the STAB AUTO MODE PB is not illuminated when AC power is applied…
…the stabilator lock pins shall be visually checked prior to flight
The rescue hoist operational check…
…SHOULD be completed on the first flight of the day to ensure SAR capability
Single engine airspeed and stabilator programming shall be called…
…on the first takeoff of each flight and after reengaging AUTO mode.
When transiting from runway to pad and vice versa…
…the landing checklist shall be performed
On the first flight of the day during the winter months, consideration should be given to conducting a rotor brake start ashore to prevent…
(Squadron SOP)
an extended period of low rotor RPM due to high engine oil pressure. The HAC shall inform the plane captain which type of start will be used.
When icing conditions may be encountered throughout the flight…
(Squadron SOP)
…icing checks shall be completed and the results reported to the SDO on the first flight of the day.
All occupants in an aircraft ___ be in a crash worthy seat with shoulder harnesses secured during takeoffs and landings
SHOULD
Use of the gunner’s belts…
…shall be limited to mission essential requirements (e.g. CAL/LZs)
Concurrent flight operations to single spot ships shall not conduct concurrent flight operations unless…
…an emergency landing site is available within 50 nm for the duration of the evolution.
-does not apply to missions terminating at other than ship or fly ons.
VERT REP power margin…
…SHALL be 10% for training
Dipping sonar operations should not be conducted in…
…seas with wave heights exceeding 15’ (6 on Beaufort scale) during training
On the first flight following a reeling machine installation or removal and replacement of a reel and cable assembly…
aircrews shall perform a daytime shallow dip cycle to 50-100 feet then raise it to seated. Unless the operational/tactical situation dictates otherwise, a post dip maintenance inspection shall be performed prior to further dipping operations.
Recommended maximum depths for dip areas 1-6
Squadron SOP
1,2: 90’
3: 1400’
4: 250’
5: 1200’
6: 300’
MBIT requirements
If the MBIT fails…
(Squadron SOP)
An MBIT shall be completed at the beginning of every flight where dipping is to be conducted.
If the MBIT fails it does not preclude the PIC form taking the A/C as long as there is a seated light
Shipboard operations with true tailwinds…
Squadron SOP
…should be avoided. True tailwinds at night increase the risk inherent in all shipboard recoveries. The HAC shall be the final authority on whether or not to accept a true tail wind
Takeoff with boost secured…
Squadron SOP
…is prohibited.
Anti exposure suite
The donning of anti-exposure suits is required when the water temp is below 60 F or the air temp corrected for wind chill is below 32 F. With water temp between 51-59 F and wind chill over 32 F the donning of anti-exposure suits is not required if expected rescue time is less than 1 hour following water entry.
Preferred hung dome landing spot
Squadron SOP
The grassy area to the south east or northwest of Chez Romeo
