For aircraft equipped with TACAN, ships TACAN SHALL be operable for all shipboard launches and recovering in IMC.
3
Q
Visual Landing Aids
A
- All shipboard VLA lighting equipment SHOULD be operative for night/low-vis oeprations.
- NVG- ll shipboard lighting required to be illuminated SHALL be NVD compliant
- Without a visible horizon, HRS when installed SHALL be utilized for single-spot ship ops or visible horizon through NVDs.
4
Q
Lighting equipment degradations
(unaided)
A
- night unaided VMC ops may be conducted if not more than 1 of the lighting subsystems required for the facility certification provided:
- A visible horizon exists and is discernible by the aircraft commander in teh shipboard landing/takeoff environment
- Ship’s CO and OIC (HAC if not embarked) concur that the failed lighting system is not critical to the scheduled mission
5
Q
Lighting equipment degradations
(aided)
A
- may be conducted in the event of a failure of multiple systems required for certification provided:
- Visible horizon is discernable through the NVDs by HAC in landing/takeoff environment
- Ships CO and OIC (HAC if not embarked) concur that the failed lighting systems are not critical to the scheduled mission
- the following lighting subsystems remain operable:
- Overhead/Forward structure floodlights
- Deck surface/Hangar wash flood lights
- All associated lighting control panels

Q
HIFR
A
- Practice night HIFR SHOULD not be conducted at night
- When operational necessity dictates the following conditions shall exist:
- Visible natural horizon as viewed by the pilot
- Ship motion should not exceed 5 deg pitch and 10 deg roll
- turn on the HIFR heading lights and position the LSE with both amber wantds at the helo control point
- Establish radio contact with the helo and pass the ship’s course and speed, pitch, roll, and relative wind
- NATOPS: Relative winds should be 10-30 knots from 330-360
11
Q
Helo personnel transfer
A
- Shall be mainfested and briefed
- transfer of pax by hoist at night is prohibited except in emergency situations
- night pax flights to or from ships shall be limited to situations of an oeprational necessity to properly certified ships
- does not apply to VBSS level III operations
- shall be breifed prior to moving to the flight deck
- helmet and goggles shall be donned
- routing personnel or cargo hoist ops shall not be conducted at night.
12
Q
SAR helicopter equipment
A
- Operable hoist with rescue device
- Operable searchlight for night SAR
- Sufficient life rafts to support passenger rescue requirments
13
Q
Smokelight approach
A
Commences 2 miles astern descends a pilots discretion to 40’, 40 knots. Drop smokes or lights every 15 seconds
14
Q
ELVA
A
- Shall not be attempted unless the aircraft does not have adequate fuel to divert to a GCA or CCA.
- Practice ELVA’s in VMC shall be conducted routinely to enhance controller/pilot proficiency.
- Following must be fully operable and accurately calibrated at all times:
- Suface search radar, Air search radar with IFF, TACAN, Gunfire control radar, NC2 USM plotter, UHF transceivers, Anemometers, Barometer
- Starts at 4 miles 400’ 70 knots, goes to ½ mile 50’ 40 knots , missed approach 100 yards, 50’.
- Missed approach, turn left 30 degrees, climb to 400’, speed up to 90 knots.
- Starboard: BRC – approach angle. Port: BRC + approach angle
- ½ standard rate turn
15
Q
Lost comms/aircraft
A
- Assumed when a mode 3 code of 7600, radar target is making 120 degree turns every 2 min, radio comms check or report is 15 mins. Overdue, ship and helo do not make contact at briefed recovery time
- Lost a/c: radio comms check or report is 30 mins overdue or when a/c is 30 mins overdue for recovery time.
- Lost a/c procedure:
- Obtain radar/radio contact. Send info in blind and search all IFF modes. Monitor guard.
- Inform OTC
- Keep up-to-date estimate of aircraft’s fuel state
- Call for TACAN UH/DF and ES watch to be set
- Alert command of other aids.
- IMC: commence approach at prebriefed recovery time using assigned marshall and TACAN
