Q

Recovery Procedures

Lights

Land in front of fixed wing

A

Helo which is the farthest advanced on the inbound radial and has not turned to parallel the ship’s course will be considered No1 in landing pattern and should expeditiously effect a landing following recovery of the last fixed-wing aircraft.

Helo cleared No1 to land should be assigned landing spot farthest forward into wind. Helos shall sequence themselves for landing in order

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

In the event the last fixed-wing waves off, all helos shall reposition in the pattern to take interval on last fixed-wing aircraft.

Nav lights STEADY/DIM, anticollision UPPER until touchdown.

Nav lights FLASHING/DIM until rotors disengaged and fully stopped.

When helos recover immediately in front of fixed wing, shut down and disengage as expeditiously as possible. Remain in ac until towed clear of landing area.

42
Q

Case III Recovery

A

Approach shall be flown as directed by CATCC until pilot acquires visual contact with OLS, “call the ball”.

Upon final approach to the fantail and when the deck and LSE have been visually acquired, the helo shall then slide over, fly up the port side to the landing spot and then slide in.

Landing to spots other than designated VLA helo are permitted for all H-60 type/model aircraft.

If waveoff, shall parallel final bearing course and report to CATCC for control. CATCC should vector helos to intercept final at 3nm, 500ft to expedite recovery.

At night, nav lights shall be STEADY/BRIGHT and anticollision lights ON until established on final bearing at which point nav lights switched to STEADY/DIM
