Q

How do they sequence the helicopters from the delta?

Where will they land?

A

When recovering a flight of helicopters, the leader should plan to be at the ramp with a minimum safe interval after the last fixed wing aircraft has landed.

The helo who is furthest advanced on the inbound radial and has not turned inbound to parallel the ships course will be considered number one in the landing pattern and should expeditiously effect a landing following recovery of the last fixed wing aircraft.

The first helo to land SHOULD be assigned the landing spot furthest forward into the wind, with the follow on aircraft being cleared to land in sequence behind the number one helo.

Q

How do you execute a night EMCON Approach?

A

Recovery procedures are listen in the Air Wing TACSOP.

Pattern is flown visually between 045-110° relative. After the last fixed wing aircraft has landed, the helicopter will switch position lights to FLASHING/BRIGHT.

Accelerate to 90 knots at the right hand abeam position and turn to intercept the optical glide slope at 1NM and 400ft. At the 45° position the lead helicopter will receive a green signal from tower at which point they will switch their lights to STEADY/DIM and proceed to land.

If a red light is received with passing through the 45° position, they will wave off to the right and reenter starboard holding.

  5. Personnel required to be in the area of an engaged helo shall either stand next to the fuselage or well outside the rotor area
  6. With Ship roll >4 degrees, launch recovery of helos while the ship is in a turn should be attempted only when authorized by CV CO or their designated rep. Anticipated wind parameters and ship’s hell must be communicated to HAC prior to execution
  7. With ship roll >4 degrees, helos rotors should not be engaged/disengaged while the ship is in a turn. Engagement/disengement attempts while in a turn with ship roll >4 deg must be approved by CV CO or their rep. Anticipated wind parameters and ship’s hell must be communicated to HAC prior to execution
  8. The Air Officer their rep shall pass over 5MC “Stand well clear of helo … while engage/disengaging rotors on Spot”
  9. Cross cockpit recoveries forward of an occupied spot are not recommended
  10. Wave off and hold signals are mandatory shall be executed immediately
  11. Except for cases of emergency, pilot shall not engage the rotors or fold blades without proper clearance from LSE
  12. Only spots that afford visual reference to the deck shall be used for night helo launches
  13. Departing or approaching A/C shall not overfly another A/C
  14. Case III unaided helo recoveries shall be conducted to the angled deck, from astern, utilizing OLS, with winds oriented to centerline of angle deck, and w/in the parameters set forth in the respective A/C NATOPS flight manual. During night VMC recoveries on CV’s equipped with operating white floodlights and when after portion of the flight deck is not clear, helos may make an approach utilizing OLS and centerline of angle deck. Upon approaching fantail and when deck and LSE have been visually acquired, helo shall then slide over fly up port side to the landing spot and slide into a landing
