22
Q

23
Q

Where is the de-arm area?

A

Inside 5NM from the 360 degree bearing line to the 90 degree bearing line on the starboard side

24
Q

Can we perform SAR/PG with GAU-21?

A

Yes, it does not prelude SAR ops but does present obstacle and to max extent practical, GAU and swing arm should be removed before tasking 60R to stand PG

25
Q

How often does CATCC conduct radio checks with PG?

A

Every 20 minutes during Case 3

26
Q

What is “on station” for PG mean?

A
  • 20NM during day
  • 10NM during night

shall monitor CATCC freq at all times and stay within UHF range at all times

27
Q

What is BRC?

A

Base Recovery Course in magnetic

28
Q

What does CHARLIE mean?

A
  • Signal to land aboard ship. Charlie5 means land in 5 minutes
  • This command clears aircraft to cross the stern
29
Q

31
Q

What does BINGO mean?

A

Fuel state in which aircraft must depart to refuel

32
Q

What is Condition 1 (Alert 5)?

A
  • A/c shall be spotted for immediate launch
  • Spread
  • Crew in cockpit up to start checklist
  • LSE
  • PC
  • At least 4 tiedowns
  • When told to launch, starting is allowed but still need permission to engage rotor and launch
33
Q

What is Condition 2 (Alert 15)?

A
  • Same as Condition 1 but crew can be in Ready Room

- Alert SAR can be folded if primary SAR is airborne

34

A
  • Can be folded and not spotted
  • Must be parked for direct access to be launched (Helo Hole)
  • Towbar attached
  • Designated LSE, tractor driver, handling crew
  • Flightcrews should be briefed and standing by in a designated space
35
Q

What is condition 4 (Alert 60)?

A

Similar to Condition 3 but minor maintenance may be performed as long as no delay in launch is involved

36
Q

What does SNUGGLE UP mean?

A

Proceed inside 1NM and expect to land within the next 5 minutes

37
Q

What are the primary and secondary forward firing dearm spots?

A

Pri: 4

Secondary: 3, 5, 6 in order

38
Q

Hung Ordnance Procedure

A
  • Keep weapon pointed in safe direction under positive control
  • Notify bridge of weapon type, number of rounds, and nature of malfunction
  • If hung CSW on right side of a/c, spot 7 primary, spot 9 secondary
  • Spot 9 shall land BRC + 15 degrees
  • EOD/de-arm crew on station before recovery
  • Hung FWD Firing Ordnance (Rocket & Hellfire) shall not launch/recover to Spot 7
