Question 6

APU safety precaution

Answer 6

APU shall be continuously monitored by a qualified person whenever it is in operation

Question 7

V-22/H-53 Safety precautions

Answer 7

V-22/H-53 Should not be launched/recovered immediately behind unsecured tail rotor A/C. If they must be, consideration should be given to securing A/C and blades w/ tie downs and increasing wind over deck

Rotors of all helos shall be spinning at or above 100% Nr or folded and secured (crutched if capable) if H-53/V-22 flight ops are being conducted on adjacent spot.

Question 8

Cross cockpit behind tail rotors safety precaution

Answer 8

Helos landing behind engaged tail rotor A/C shall not conduct cross cockpit T/Os or landings for LSE safety (not a shall in 105)

Question 9

Is an LSE required for blade spread

Answer 9

Yes

Question 10

At night, pilots (should/shall) not initiate any radio frequency changes or heading changes prior to reaching ____

Answer 10

Should

200’

Question 11

Applicable Light Signals from helo at night

Answer 11

Engine start: steady dim

Rotor engagement: flashing dim

Ready for T/O: steady/bright, smacks on

After T/O: steady bright, smacks on

Landing - 180 abeam, right seat landing: steady bright, smacks on

Left seat landing: flashing bright, smacks on

After landing: flashing dim, smacks off

Disengagement: flashing dim

Question 12

Case I departure

Answer 12

Clear control zone at or below 300’ or as directed by prifly

Question 13

Case II departure

Answer 13

Depart via Case I and maintain flight integrity below clouds

Question 14

Case III departure

Answer 14

Same as CVN except:

initial climb is to 500’

Arc at 3NM (not inside)

Can climb immediately upon reaching departure radial except during mixed ops (helos shall not climb until reaching 10 NM)

Question 15

Case I approach

Answer 15

Check in w/ AATCC

report ship in sight

AATCC shall switch A/C to prifly by 5 NM

Hold in overhead Delta unless otherwise directed

Plan descent and break at recovery time

Maintain orderly flow of traffic into charlie pattern

Question 16

Overhead delta

Answer 16

Left hand racetrack oriented on BRC, 1000’

Question 17

Starboard D

Answer 17

045-110 relative

1 to 3 miles

Right hand racetrack

300’, 80 Kts

Question 18

Port delta

Answer 18

225-315 relative

3 to 5 miels

Left hand racetrack

300’, 80 kts

Question 19

Charlie pattern

Answer 19

Left hand racetrack on port side of ship

Upwind leg parallels BRC

Flow into charlie from delta when directed

Extend upwind not downwind

Question 20

Prep Charlie

Answer 20

Enter the charlie pattern

Question 21

Standard landing pattern

Answer 21

Utilize charlie pattern

Turn abeam spot and intercept 45 degree line

Question 22

Landing in front of another helo

Answer 22

Landing a helo on a spot immediately in front of another helo should be avoided whenever possible

Question 23

How should you normally fly over the crows foot? When landing in front of another helo, how should you land?

Answer 23

Normally you lineup with the 45 degree line and fly in at an angle

When there is an A/C immediately behind your spot, you should fly up to the side and then slide in to the spot as you do on a CV. Cross cockpit landings should be avoided.

Question 24

Night Case I recovery modification

Answer 24

Instead of turning abeam spot,

call abeam spot,

continue downwind to turn onto BRC

Once on final, decelerate to 60 kts and report final

Slide over to port and fly up to spot for landing

May fly this way or normal charlie but not at the same time

Question 25

Nonstandard helo landing patterns

Answer 25

1. Cross deck - fly to port side then fly across the deck
2. Helo around stern - fly around stern. Descent to 200’ by astern position. Continue up starboard side and land on spot
3. Helo modified straight in - prifly may approve modified straight in

Question 26

Waveoffs

Answer 26

Shall be executed:
