Q

LSE Signal Safety precautions

A

2 signals

  1. Except in cases of emergency, pilots shall not disengage, stop engines, or fold rotor blades w/o proper signal from LSE
  2. The waveoff and hold/stop signals are mandatory and shall be executed immediately
20
Q

A

2 overflight

  1. An A/C shall not be flown over another A/C
  2. During combined wet well/flight deck ops, a/c shall avoid overflying landing craft at low altitude
21
Q

4 T safety precautions

A

Turning: Helicopters shall not be launched or recovered nor shall rotors be engaged or disengaged while ship is turning

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

Taxiing: Helicopters shall not be ground taxied on the flight deck.

Tiedowns: When changing pilots or hot refueling, the A/C shall be chocked and have tiedowns attached. A/C should be chocked (minimum) for pax loading

22
Q

Disengaging, staging safety precautions

A

Disengaging: Personnel required to be in the area of helos that are disengaging rotors shall stand next to the fuselage or well outside the rotor arc

Staging: 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.

23
Q

Spec Ops Safety precaution

A

For special and tactical ops, such as troop assault, SEAL insertion, troop recon ops, 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
