Wave off and Hold
Who determines case launch and recovery?
Air Officer ( AKA Air Boss) or otherwise specified
Case 1 weather minimums?
Flights will not encounter IMC during day and NLT 3000’ / 5NM inside control zone (10NM)
Case 2 weather minimums?
Flights will encounter IMC during day and NLT 1000’ / 5NM inside control zone (10NM)
Case 3 weather minimums?
Flights will encounter IMC below 1000’ / 5NM inside control zone (10NM)
All night time departure and recovery (30 min after sunset to 30 min before sunrise)
What are the degrees of control? (4)
- Positive
- Advisory
- Monitor
- Nonradar
When shall positive control be used? (4)
- Less than 500’ / 1NM
- Night time
- Mandatory letdown in T-storm areas
- Any other situations where weather might cause difficulty to pilots
considered to be under positive control at sea unless otherwise directed
When shall advisory control be used? (3)
- Traffic density requires higher degree of control for safety of flight
- Still considered VMC
- Traffic separation rely on pilot w/ help from controlling agency
When shall monitor control be used? (2)
- A/C operating VMC outside of controlled airspace
- Pilot responsible for See and Avoid
When shall nonradar control be used?
- When ship radar is inoperative or degraded that is cannot provide traffic separation
- Use of TACAN required to maintain separation
What are the lateral separations with air search radars faster than 7 RPM? (6)
- > 50NM: 5NM
- <50NM: 3NM
- On approach or downwind inside 12NM: 2 NM
- On final inside 5NM: 1.5 NM
- Under positive control: 5NM
- Nonradar control on published approach: 2 minutes (5NM when using DME)
What are the vertical separations?
- Jet and turboprop up to FL290: 1000’
- inside 12NM lowered to 800’
- Helos: 500’
What are the 3 types of aircraft emergencies?
- Comms failures
- NAVAID failures
- Other aircraft system failures
What are airborne stores?
- Items that do not normally separate from aircraft
- Ex: Tanks, pods, non-expendable training weapons
What are airborne weapons?
- Items that are normally separated from aircraft
- Ex: Missiles, rockets, torpedoes, guns, CMDS
Definition of downloading?
Removal of weapons/stores from aircraft
What shall the LSE/PC request permission for through FDC or PriFly? (5)

- Break
- Lift
What are the CVN launch weather mins?
200’ - 1/2
How do you launch from spot 9?
- Lift, moonwalk, depart to port or starboard depending on winds
- Request LA if desired
How do you depart in Case 1/2?
Clear control zone as directed by tower
