A

Emergency Low Visibility Approach

If executed below 200- 1/2, considered to be emergency and does not have fuel to divert to GCA/CCA

GATE: 4 mile, 400’ AGL, 70 KIAS

Starboard App: Final approach heading is BRC - 15 degrees
Port App: Final approach heading is BRC + 15 degrees

On final, heading corrections should be no more than 5 degrees using 1/2 SRT

Every 1/2 mile should decrease altitude by 50’

At 1 mile, slow to 40 KIAS

Final profile is 50’, 40 KIAS until MAP

59
Q

What is the ELVA MAP?

A

50’ and 100 yards

60
Q

What is the ELVA Missed Approach Procedure?

A

30 degree heading change away from ship and climb to 400’ AGL

61
Q

What is a Smokelight Approach? (6)

A

Used as last resort when ELVA is not available due to equipment

CO and PIC (or OIC) agree to attempt procedure

A/C 2 NM aft of ship on 180 radial

A/C descends at PIC discretion to 40’ / 40 KIAS

Ship personnel drop smokes every 15 seconds or at briefed interval

A/C follows smokelights up the ships wake until visual

62
Q

What does plots in the red mean? (2)

A

Presents significant risk of water impacting rotors

Can cause catastrophic damage and loss of aircrew and flight deck personnel

63
Q

What ships are prohibited to operate with polar plots in the red with aircraft and personnel on the flight deck?

A

DDG-51 class ships

64
Q

What does plots in the yellow mean? (2)

A
  • Indicates a hazard of up to 2 feet of water over the flight deck
  • May wash personnel overboard or damage aircraft
65
Q

What does plots in the white mean?

A

Does not eliminate the risk of water impacting rotor or washing over flight deck
