80T-105 Flashcards
What is the name of the keyhole diagram?
Helicopter restrictions during fixed wing launch and recovery
What are the three notes associated with the keyhole diagram?
- No helo operations are allowed within the shaded region without Air Officer approval
- During recovery of aircraft with forward firing ordnance, the plane guard helo shall not be placed on the starboard side between the 360-090 relative bearing within 5nm
- The air officer shall be notified immediately if the primary PG helo changes
Chap 4
Case I, II, III
Case I: when it is anticipated that flights will not encounter instrument conditions during daytime launches/recoveries, and the vis and ceiling are no lower than 3000-5 in the control zone
Case II: when it is anticipated that flights may encounter instrument conditions during daytime launches/recoveries, and the vis and ceiling are no lower than 1000-5 in the control zone
Case III: When it is anticipated that flights will encounter instrument conditions during launches/recoveries because the vis and ceiling are below 1000-5
Chap 4
What are the four degrees of control?
- Positive
- Advisory
- Monitor
- Non-Radar
Chap 4
When are each type of control used?
Positive—> <500-1, all FOPs 30min after sunset, 30min before sunrise except as modified by OTC/CO, during mandatory letdown in thunderstorm area, in other situations advisory control can expect weather to cause difficulty to pilots
Advisory—> Shall be utilized when traffic density in an area requires a high degree of control for safety of flight other than just VFR rules. Normally limited to VMC, traffic separation is the responsibility of the pilot with help from control
Monitor—> Shall be utilized under VMC when aircraft are operating outside of controlled airspace. Separation and safety of flight is responsibility of the Pilot
Non Radar—> shall be used when shipboard radar is inoperative or so degraded as to be inadequate to provide radar separation of air traffic under conditions normally requiring positive control.
Chap 6
When is advisory control provided during a Marshal
NOTE:
Advisory control is provided by marshal from checkin until advised of “radar contact” which indicates positive control
Chap 6
What are the approach mins for Helos?
Non Precision 300-3/4
Precision 200-1/2
Chap 4
What are the three Categories of Emergencies
- Communication failures
- NAVAID failures
- Other aircraft system failures
Chap 5
Case III departure voice reports
The folllowing calls are commonly used:
- Airborne
- Arcing
- Passing 2500’
- Established outbound
- Popeye
- VFR on top (with altitude)
- Kilo
Chap 7
What is the primary dearming spot for AGM-114/rocket pods
Spot 4 is primary, spot 3 is secondary
Chap 8
Helo Pre- Launch procedure
Helo spread, start, rotor engage, and launch shall be in accordance with appropriate NATOPS procedures and shall only occur after proper signal from LSE and under control of PriFly
Chap 8
Night/IMC Launch
Helos shall ensure their nose is aligned with angle or straight deck for launch, and Air Officer shall broadcast wind speed and direction
Chap 8
SAR Capable vs. Non SAR helo ground call
SAR Capable: will report red light fuel in HHMM local (this is when they will hit red light fuel). (e.g.“6/7XX,4 souls,1645 redlight”)
Non SAR: will report fuel state HH+MM to NATOPS minimum fuel(e.g.“6/7XX, 3 souls ,3+30 splash”).
Chap 8
High gross weight takeoffs
When multiple high gross weight helicopters are launched from Spots 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 they should, to the maximum extent practical, be sequenced from forward to aft to allow for use of the landing area for departure to gain airspeed vice a side step resulting in an out of ground effect hover with inadequate power margins. The PIC may also request adjusted winds to reduce power required on takeoff or landing.
Chap 8
What is the departure procedure if you’re on spot 9
Helos should depart either port or starboard depending on the winds. If a takeoff up the angled deck is required, the helo shall request a launch up the: “LA” to tower
