What is needed to conduct free ascent training?

What is the minimum positive clearance needed for aircraft carriers from the vessel to the pier?
20ft
What pressure do you start with on the intensifier to stretch Morgrip bolts 0.006 to 0.008?
35,000psi
If you have not reached .006” on the Morgrip bolt, what pressure do you try next and what pressure can you not exceed?
Continually increase the pressure in increments of 500psi from the initial 35,000psi to obtain the 0.006-0.008 stretch. Do not exceed 37,500psi.
What is some criteria for wire rope replacement?
-Six broken wires in one rope lay length, or three broken wires in one strand lay length.
- Exceeding 5 yr service life

What is the most common failure of Dynamic Positioning systems?
The most common causes of DP casualties are loss of position reference systems or operator error. The most common results of DP casualties are drive off or drift off (loss power). USN Dive man 2D-2.4.11
What action should you take if you have a NDC failure?
If in a No D status, abort dive NTE 30fpm. If unsure of D status, the diver/s must weigh the risk of DCS from surfacing. Divers should be observed on surface for 1 hr.
