80T-122 Flashcards
Requires Operational Necessity
Night Submarine Transfers
Cold water passenger transfer ops? (Should not)
Landing on an uncertified ship
Positive Control
Shall be used when:
Ceiling less than 500’
Forward flight visibility less than 1 mile
All flight operations between 1/2 hour after sunset and 1/2 hour before sunrise except as modified by the OTC or commanding officer.
It is a form of ATC in which the controlling agency has radar and radio contact with the aircraft being controlled and. Published approach/departure procedures are being complied with or specific assignments regarding heading/altitude are issued by the controller. Altitude separation is provided by pilots maintaining assigned altitude but lateral and time separation is the responsibility of the air controller. Speed changes may be directed by the controller.
Responsibility for the safe navigation of the aircraft is transferred to the controlling authority.
Advisory control
The tactical control of the aircraft by a control unit where the aircraft receives directions and recommendations but the HAC is not relieved of the responsibility for their own safety of navigation. It shall be used when traffic density requires a higher degree of control for safety of flight than is normally required for VMC.
Tactical control
A form of non radar control where tactical information is passed to an aircraft by the controlling unit but the HAC is responsible for safety and navigation.
General requirements for aviation facilities
Include visual landing aids, clearance, deck structure, communications, navigation aids, safety items and mooring aids. Also all equipment and facilities to logistically support, service and maintain an aircraft.
Shipboard landing environment
Phase of the approach from missed approach point to flight deck during which the aircrew transitions from an instrument reference scan to a visual reference scan.
Shipboard takeoff environment
Phase of departure from air capable ship from flight deck to prebriefed level altitude, not to be less than 150’, during which aircrew transitions from visual reference scan to an instrument reference scan. For departures from single spot ships PAC transitions from visual to instrument scan after positive rate of climb is established and obstruction clearance is obtained.
NVD compliant
Any NVD compatible, NVD shipboard friendly and incompatible systems dimmed or blacked out. Can be used for aided or unaided ops.
NVD Compatible
Lights that are only compatible for the unaided operator and are virtually invisible to NVD goggles.
NVD Shipboard Covert
Lights only seen through NVD goggles
NVD Shipboard Friendly
Required lights for both aided/unaided ops. The spectral energy is appropriate for aided viewing.
Levels
Level 1: IMC day/night ops
Level 2: VMC day/night ops
Level 3: VMC day only ops
Classes
Class 1: landing area with support facilities (service and mx) for the types of ac certified.
Class 2: landing area with service facilities for the types of ac certified.
Class 2A: landing area with limited service facilities for the types of ac certified.
Class 3: landing area for the types of ac certified.
Class 4: VERTREP/hover area (min hover height 5’) for the types of ac certified.
Class 5: VERTREP/hover area (high hover with a min of 15’ authorized) for the types of ac certified.
Class 6: HIFR facility capable of delivering 50 gpm at a pressure of 20psi to a height of 40’ above the water.
Class 6R: HiFR facility capable of delivering only 25-49 gpm at a pressure of 20psi to a height of 40’ above the water.
SGSI
40 degree swath out to 3nm (at night)
9 degrees total: 6.5 red, 1 amber, 1.5 green
3 degree glide slope
350’ @ 1nm, 200’ @ .5nm, 125’ @ .25nm
Must be in standby 4hours prior to flight ops, 30minute power on required for stabilization
Close control
The tactical control of aircraft by a designated control unit where the aircraft receives orders affecting its movements. The pilot will not deviate from instructions unless given permission or unusual circumstances require immediate action for the safety of the flight. In either case the pilot will inform the controller of the action taken.
Two way radio comms and radar contact are required.
The controller is responsible for the safety of the aircraft and must inform the pilot when they are being dead reckoned (more than 1 minute or five sweeps without contact).
Ultimate safety of the aircraft is the primary responsibility of the pilot.
TACAN Requirements
For aircraft equipped with a TACAN, ships TACAN system shall be operable for all shipboard launches and recoveries in IMC.
HRS Bar
Without a visible horizon, an operable Horizon Reference System (when installed) shall be utilized for single spot ship operations.
Permissible lighting equipment degradations
Aided (NVD) ops
Aided ops may be conducted in the event of a failure of more than one of the lighting subsystems required for ships facility certification provided all of the following criteria are met:
A visible horizon exists and is discernible through NVDs by the aircraft commander in the shipboard landing/takeoff environment
The ships CO and embarked airdet OIC (HAC for non embarked evolutions) concur that the failed lighting systems are not critical to the scheduled mission
The following lighting subsystems remain operational and available:
Overhead/forward structure floodlights
Deck surface/hangar wash floodlights
Associated lighting control panels
Permissible Lighting Equipment
Unaided Ops
Night unaided VMC operations may be conducted in the event of a failure of not more than one of the lighting subsystems required for ships facility certification provided the following criteria are met:
A visible horizon exists and is discernible by the aircraft commander in the shipboard landing/takeoff environment.
The ships commanding officer and embarked air det OIC (aircraft commander for non embarked evolutions) concur that the failed lifting system is not critical to the scheduled mission.
Corrosion Control
500 gallons unsheltered
100 gallons sheltered
This is per aircraft daily
