80T-106 Chapter 7 HSM-50 (Study As 105 By Exception) Flashcards
Engaging/disengaging Safety Precautions
Personnel shall not approach or depart a helo while rotors are being engaged/disengaged
(105 has safety precaution about not approaching w/ rotor brake on, not included here)
Taxiing safety precautions
Helos SHOULD not be routinely be deck taxied on the flight deck
Helos shall not be towed or pushed while rotors are engaged
(Both same as 105)
Overflight safety precaution
Helicopter shall not be flown over another A/C on launch or recovery
Personnel close to helicopters safety precaution
Personnel required to be in the area of operating helos shall exercise extreme caution and observe the signals/directions of the LSE or combat cargo rep as appropriate
Hovering over spot safety precaution
Dual engine helos shall not be intentionally hovered single engine over a deck spot. If topping checks cannot be performed in contact w/ the deck, they must be performed in flight at an appropriate altitude
APU safety precaution
APU shall be continuously monitored by a qualified person whenever it is in operation
V-22/H-53 Safety precautions
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.
Cross cockpit behind tail rotors safety precaution
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)
Is an LSE required for blade spread
Yes
At night, pilots (should/shall) not initiate any radio frequency changes or heading changes prior to reaching ____
Should
200’
Applicable Light Signals from helo at night
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
Case I departure
Clear control zone at or below 300’ or as directed by prifly
Case II departure
Depart via Case I and maintain flight integrity below clouds
Case III departure
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)
Case I approach
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
Overhead delta
Left hand racetrack oriented on BRC, 1000’
Starboard D
045-110 relative
1 to 3 miles
Right hand racetrack
300’, 80 Kts
Port delta
225-315 relative
3 to 5 miels
Left hand racetrack
300’, 80 kts
Charlie pattern
Left hand racetrack on port side of ship
Upwind leg parallels BRC
Flow into charlie from delta when directed
Extend upwind not downwind
Prep Charlie
Enter the charlie pattern
Standard landing pattern
Utilize charlie pattern
Turn abeam spot and intercept 45 degree line
Landing in front of another helo
Landing a helo on a spot immediately in front of another helo should be avoided whenever possible
How should you normally fly over the crows foot? When landing in front of another helo, how should you land?
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.
Night Case I recovery modification
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
Nonstandard helo landing patterns
- Cross deck - fly to port side then fly across the deck
- Helo around stern - fly around stern. Descent to 200’ by astern position. Continue up starboard side and land on spot
- Helo modified straight in - prifly may approve modified straight in
Waveoffs
Shall be executed:
- Upon voice command/loss of comms from PriFly
- Command of LSE
- Loss of vis of LSE
- Anytime aircrew feels approach cannot be completed safely.
Report “A/C # waving off”
Parallel BRC on appropriate side and renter pattern
Case II approach
Positive control until ship in sight
Shall not be conducted concurrently w/ Case III departures
Case III recovery
Positive control until ship in sight
Shall terminate in straight in, single freq approach
Helo Marshall
LH-4 - 090 at 7, alt as assigned (NLT 1000’), right hand turns, 2 mile legs
LH-5 - TACAN overhead, 030 relative, alt as assigned (NLT 1500’, 2500’ if mixed), left hand turns, 2 mile legs
500’ separation when helos added
Exit marshall at 90 kts, 500 fpm and arc to final approach fix
Missed approach procedure
TACAN: Per approach chart

Right hand pattern, 300’ 80 Kts, racetrack around ship. Avoid flagging ship
Lost comms signals
Same as ACS
ALDIS signals
Flashing red - BINGO
Flashing green - cleared to enter CHARLIE pattern
Steady green - CHARLIE
Steady red - DELTA
