Safety precautions (HHH WWW DD PEA BF)

A

H- Helicopters shall not be launched or recovered nor shall rotors be engaged or disengaged while ship is turning.

H- Helicopters shall never be towed or pushed while rotors are engaged or while the ship is turning.

H- Helicopters shall not be ground taxied on the flight deck.

W- The waveoff and hold or stop signals are mandatory and shall be executed immediately.

W- When changing pilots or hot refueling, the aircraft shall be chocked and have tiedowns attached. Aircraft should be chocked (minimum) for passenger loading.

W- When staging deck cargo, the air officer/HCO should ensure that sufficient clear space is available for possible emergency landing. Complete staging of the flight deck is permissible, provided another ready deck is available.

D- During combined wet well/flight deck operations, aircraft shall avoid over flying landing craft at low altitude.

D- DDG 51 class ship operations within the red regions of the wave hazard plots (Figures 7-1, 7-2, and 7-3) are prohibited with personnel or aircraft on the flight deck. Commanding officer approval, informed by recommendation from an OIC, or senior aircraft commander present, when an aircraft detachment is embarked, is required prior to operations within the yellow regions of these plots when personnel or aircraft are on the flight deck. Consideration shall be given to traversing the aircraft into the hangar and removing flight deck personnel prior to operations within the red or yellow regions.

P- Personnel required to be in the area of helicopters that are disengaging rotors shall stand next to the fuselage or well outside the rotor arc.

E- Except in cases of emergency, pilots shall not disengage, stop engines, or fold rotor blades without proper signal from LSE.

A- An aircraft shall not be flown over another aircraft.

B- Because of the limited size of the landing area, aircraft shall not be loaded/unloaded while an aircraft is landing/launching on an adjacent spot.

F- For special and tactical operations, such as troop assault, Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) insertion, troop recon operations, etc., members of those parties may be waivered from wearing normal cranial and life vest protection due to their environmental/situational clothing, the brief duration of the flight, and requirement to debark quickly.

How do you transfer personnel from helo to ship?

A

When the helicopter is over the transfer point, the person to be transferred will be wearing the rescue strop and will be positioned at the hatch as directed by the crewman. As a hover is established, the crewman will raise the hoist slightly to take on the weight of the passenger, dampen cable oscillation, and then lower away. Flight deck personnel shall ground out the helicopter hoist cable prior to the passenger reaching the ship’s deck. The crewman will adjust the hoist so that the passenger is not dragged about when leaving the rescue strop

71
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

How do you transfer personnel from ship to helo

A

When transferring a passenger from a ship to a helicopter, a hover will be established with the cargo door open and cable payed out 6 to 8 feet. An inflatable lifejacket, eye protection, and protective headgear shall be provided by the aircrew and should be attached to the rescue strop upon initial lowering. The passenger shall not be lifted from the deck of the ship until the lifejacket, eye protection, and protective headgear are donned.

Chap 11

Transfer involving subs and required sea state

A

Transfers of personnel to and from submarines by helicopter are not a routine operation. The combination of a small moving platform, effects of the environment, and the lack of adequate pilot visual reference to the submarine creates a challenging evolution even under favorable conditions. A transfer should not be attempted in a sea state above 4.

74
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

What are the transfer locations for subs

A
  1. Center of main deck (Figure 11-4 Sheet 1 of 3) (Submarine Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) only). In this method, the submarine positions itself with the relative winds from 320 to 350° at 15 to 20 knots, and the helicopter takes position heading into the wind.
  2. Port sail plane/top of sail (Figure 11-4 Sheet 2) (primary method for Attack Submarine Nuclear [SSN]). In this method, the submarine positions itself with relative winds from 010 to 040° at 15 to 20 knots. The helicopter takes position on the submarine heading into the wind and conducts the transfer to either the port sail plane or the top of the sail (cockpit area).
  3. Starboard sail plane (Figure 11-4 Sheet 3). In this method, the submarine positions itself with relative winds from 160 to 200° at 15 to 20 knots with a minimum wind speed of 10 knots. Usually, the submarine maneuvers downwind at slow speed and the helicopter takes position off the submarine’s starboard side, maintaining station as necessary.
75
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

Night transfers to subs

A

Night transfers shall not be attempted except in cases of operational necessity.

If a night transfer is necessary, the relative wind parameters should be the same as those used for daylight operations. The submarine shall attempt to rig lighting that will illuminate the top of the sail, sail planes, and the afterdeck. A small light should be attached to the highest point of the submarine. The helicopter may illuminate flood or hover lights to provide visual reference with the submarine.

76
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

What are the optimum VERTREP winds?

A

Arelative head wind of 15 to 30 knots is considered ideal. The aircraft should take off, make approaches, and hover into the relative wind.

77
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

When can you consider conducting VERTREP beyond visual range? (ATTN)

A
  1. Adequate communications and navigation aids exist between ships and aircraft.

  3. Time required and time available versus operational priority of requirement.
  4. Aircraft NATOPS requirements for night VERTREP are met.
78
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

What should you consider for carrying heavy and short loads? What are the distances associated with both?

A

Generally, carrying external loads for long distances (over 35 miles for heavy, high-density loads and over 25 miles for light, low-density loads) should not be considered as a standard VERTREP procedure, but rather as a capability that should be reserved for high-priority cargo that justifies the time involved

Chapt 11

What are the three methods of VERTREP pickup

A
  1. METHOD I — As the helicopter hovers over the load, the hookup man raises the pendant, slips the eye over the helicopter’s hook, then clears the area by moving toward the LSE.
  2. METHODII—The hookup man hands the pendant to the aircrewman positioned in the open cargo access hatch and then clears the area moving toward the LSE. The aircrewman will then slip the pendant over the helicopter’s hook, ensuring that the load is secured and ready for lifting.
  3. METHODIII—The hook up man holds the pendant up until the aircrewman in the open cargo access hatch guides the pendant onto the helicopter’s hook. The hookup man then clears the area by moving toward the LSE.
82
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

What is the minimum cargo that needs to be placed in an empty cargo net?

84
Q

80T-122

Chap 11

What are the three major things you want/should consider for VERTREP to a sub? (Winds, LA, personnel)

A

The magnitude of the wind over the deck should be no greater than 20 knots. The wind azimuth may be between 0 to 90 degrees and 270 to 360 degrees relative to the submarines’ longitudinal axis as long as the helicopter heading is such that a headwind component exists. The submarine should establish the relative wind at 320 to 350 degrees relative with wind magnitude between 10 and 20 knots.

  1. VERTREP area (rectangular) on the main deck (aft of the sail) should be clearly outlined with a 4-inch wide, high-visibility tape. For the SSGN, the outline, rectangular in shape, should encompass missile hatches 17, 18, 19, and 20 (see Figures 11-9 and 11-10). The tape should be carried in the helicopter transfer kit aboard the submarine.
  2. The First Lieutenant, LSE, and transfer petty officer should position themselves just aft of the sail in clear view of the pilot. All personnel shall be in appropriate safety attire, with safety harnesses. The logistics/escape hatch should be secured during load drop and retrograde pickup.
