Types of Emergencies
Comm Failure
NAVAID Failure
Aircraft System Failure
Crewmember Injury or Illness
Ship System Casualty
Tram Line
Doesn’t say exactly in the 106, looks like the approach line for fixed wing aircraft.
Safe Parking Line
5-4
Used for fix wing takeoff clearance
Hotel and Foxtrot flags
Hotel: left half white, right half red
Foxtrot: White with a red diamond (45 degree tilted square)
Request clearance for…
APU
Engine start
Rotor engagement
Takeoff
Launch in a turn
Only with permission from ships CO or designated rep (airboss?)
V22 launch/recovery
Should not be conducted from a spot directly behind an unsecured light/med tail rotor aircraft.
If required consideration should be given to placing initial tie downs on the aircraft and increasing wind over the deck.
Landing behind a tail rotor aircraft
Shall not be conducted cross cockpit for LSE safety.
V22 landing in front of/behind/adjacent
Depending on relative winds it may cause damage to rotor systems of spread aircraft, even if tiedowns are used haha
Emergency after takeoff VMC/IMC
VMC: advise tower, dump/jettison as req for weight, receive estimated Charlie time from tower and observe clearing of deck and turn into winds to time the approach to avoid arriving too early.
IMC: if immediate landing is required departure controller will take care of you. If not immediate continue with standard departure while controllers acquire positive control and expect positive switches until on deck.
Lost Comms VMC/IMC
Squawk according to HEFOE codes
If VMC stay VMC and return to shop for visual recovery
If IMC continue on assigned departure radial then climb/descend to emergency Marshall altitude and comply with emer Marshall pattern
If lost Comms and navaid fly assigned departure then fly appropriate triangles and attempt contact on survival radio and await joinup until req to bingo to divert. If no divert available setup for the ditch.
Initial check in report inbound
Hex 35, marking 090 for 30nm, 500’ 1+30 Fuel remaining, 3 souls, 500rounds 50cal any other pertinent info
Night approaches to spot 1
Not authorized
Right seat landings to spot 1
Not recommended
EMCON recovery
Only allowed when ceiling is at least 500’ above Delta pattern with 3mile vis
Return to delta at scheduled recovery time and monitor PRIfly,
Anticollision on with pos lights bright once in sight of ship.
Once established in delta set pos lights flashing
When abeam in the Delta you’ll receive a flashing green Aldis lamp signal, set pos lights steady to acknowledge and descend to the Charlie pattern.
At the abeam in the Charlie expect a steady green aldis signal as clearance to land. Continue with normal lighting and approach to land.
Can helicopters be deck taxied?
Should not be
Also no towing with rotors engaged or entering/exiting rotor arc during engagement
Night launch spot restrictions
Shall only be done from spots that afford visual reference
V22/H53 landing on adjacent spot
Rotors turning at 100% or folder and secured (crutched if able)
Helo departures
Case 1: clear the control zone at or below 300’ as directed by PRIfly
Case 2: weather less than 500/1 if able to depart case 1 use those procedures, if unable to remain VMC depart via case 3
Case 3: below case 2, no horizon or when directed by CO/OTC helos shall depart at not less than 1min intervals and climb straight ahead to 500’ and intercept 3mile arc. Then arc at 3nm to assigned departure radial (20 degree separation between helos) and climb to assigned altitude.
Case III mando reports
Airborne
Arcing
Established assigned dep radial
Popeye with altitude
On top with altitude
KILO report
Helo Approaches
Case I: check in with center with voice report (previous card) switch to PRIfly by 5nm and head to delta and expect Charlie at landing time.
Case II:
Starboard D
045-110 1-3nm right hand at 80kts 300’
Port D
225-315 3-5nm left hand turn at 80kts 300’
Night case 1 approach
Extended downwind to allow helicopter to turn inbound before descending. Straight in final is flown at 60kts, reporting final and using visual landing aids then offsetting to the left prior to landing
Approaches to a spot in front of a helicopter
Should be avoided
If necessary terminate 45 approach abeam the spot and slide in.
Charlie pattern or night case I pattern?
Both are acceptable, PRIfly will ensure aircraft are aware which type is landing as concurrent patterns is prohibited.
Nonstandard helicopter landing types
Crossdeck: standard approach except continue across the deck to the starboard spot.
Helicopter around stern: from the normal Charlie call abeam port quarter and descend to 200’ by the astern position then continue around the starboard side to intercept the 45.
Helicopter modified straight in: PRIfly May approve straight in depending on traffic in the pattern
Charlie 5 and Charlie spot 5
Charlie 5 means enter pattern to plan to be over the deck in the number of minutes specified (5), can be used for multiple aircraft, position in Charlie to land in order.
Charlie spot 5 means cleared to land spot 5, will be given after the Charlie 5 call.
Reasons to waveoff
Waveoff command from PRIfly or lost Comms with PRIfly
Command from LSE
Loss of visuals with LSE on final
Anytime the crew feels the approach can not be safely completed.
Case II approach procedures
Positive control until aircraft is in sight of the ship.
Case III formation recoveries
Only when an aircraft is experiencing difficulties and is recovered on the wing of another aircraft. Shall be same type aircraft except for extreme circumstances where there is no safer option.
Emergency Marshall
045 (A) 090 (B) 135 (C)
1500’ at 5dme and 500’ and 1 mile step up for each additional helicopter.
Flown at 90kts, when at EAT arc left at 5dme to final approach course and commence descent to MDA at FAF (3dme)
Alpha pattern
300’ 80kts right hand turns do not allow firing bearing to cross ship.
Lost Comms pattern direction
Right hand if receiving
Left hand if “nothing left”
SAR equipped helicopter
Operable rescue hoist and rescue device
Operable Searchlight for night
Sufficient rafts for passenger rescue requirements
VERTREP areas
A (stern to beginning of island): day/night pickup and delivery
B (island to spot 4): day only pickup and delivery
C (spot 4 to bow): day/night pickup and delivery
Simultaneous aided/unaided
Permitted in the control zone, prohibited in the landing pattern (flight deck lights need to be secured for NVD ops)
Initial CQ/DLQ qualification
Mixed (Helo/fixed wing) aircraft shall not occupy the same pattern
Icepack
Tacron det onboard that is responsible for the mission control of airspace out to 50nm
Green crown
Responsible for detection and identification of aircraft in the ESG airspace
Control zone
Control area
Zone is 5nm radius up to 2500’
Area is 50nm radius up to an assigned altitude

Well deck operations
Ensure well deck lighting is minimized to not interfere with nvd landing pattern and make IMC announcements every 30 minutes to remind the crew
Do not overfly amphibious aircraft
