51
Q

Where can you find RMCU codes?

A

Ch 18 of NATOPS

52
Q

Normal dipper modes

A

Automatic and manual hydraulic modes

53
Q

Auxiliary Hydraulic Mode

A
  • manually controls Servo valve if RMIU fails
  • bypasses RMIU and RMCU and all safety locks
  • does not stop it at trail, lock it or seat it
  • used if electrical failure
  • used to correct miswraps, reseat to get a SEATED light, to recover transducer when reeling machine control system has failed
54
Q

Caution about lowering the dome via aux hyd

A

Will damage electronics because it doesn’t have ESD

55
Q

Aux Electric Mode

A
  • full safety features
  • stops at trail
  • slower raise speed —> cable not sufficiently tensioned so may cause problems if raising TA from 1000 ft or deeper
  • used in the event of a hydraulic fault
  • can only be used to recover dome
  • except in emergency, shall only be used if dome submerged
56
Q

Aux Hardware Electric Mode

A
  • bypasses all safeties - doesn’t auto stop or lock
  • entered by holding RMCU SAFETY OVRD and RMCU RAISE when in aux electric
  • used when failures prevent any other mode
  • raise only
57
Q

Hand Crank Mode

A

Mx only

58
Q

Bottom light

A

Within 50 ft of bottom

59
Q

Priorities for landing location with hung dome

A
  1. Ashore or aviation ship (CVN or LHA/LHD)
  2. Air capable ships may be considered if ambient conditions and POCL permits pilots’ adequate reference to position the aircraft
60
