Q

How is the case II recovery from the holding pattern conducted?

A
  • At the fix, inbound to the ship, commence 250 KIAS descent at 4,000-6,000 ft/min with speed brakes
  • At platform, retract speed brakes
  • 2,000 ft/min descent
  • Descend to 1,200’ AGL and 10 NM
  • Slow decent rate
  • Arrive at initial at 800’ and 300 KIAS
