Chapter 1, 3, 5 Flashcards
WARNING: Flameouts may be encountered following nose down ground operations in excess of _________ when using JP-5, JP-8, or equivalent fuels.
10 minutes
(V) Definition: Primary Fuel
A fuel that the aircraft is authorized to use for continuous unrestricted operations.
(V) Definition: Restricted Fuel
A fuel that imposes operational restrictions on the aircraft.
(V) Definition: Emergency Fuel
A fuel which may be used for a minimum time when no other primary or restricted fuel is available in case of emergency or operational necessity.
Primary Fuels
JP-5
JP-8
F-24
TS-1
Restricted Fuels
JP-4
JET A-1
JET A
JET B
Emergency Fuels
JP-8 +100
F-27
If JP-4/JET B is used, the following operational restrictions/considerations apply:
“SOH-Refuel”
- Single-engine training is prohibited.
- Lower operating temperatures, slower accelerations, and shorter range may be experienced.
- All takeoffs shall stabilize in a hover with no fuel pressure cautions for a minimum of 10 seconds before transitioning to forward flight.
- Due to the vapor qualities of mixed JP-4 and JET B, the next two refuelings with a primary fuel shall be treated as if JP-4/JET B is in the tanks.
When fueling with JP-5 is not possible, helicopters shall not be hangared until the flashpoint of the fuel in the helicopter fuel tanks is above _______.
120 F
Initial Tiedown Configuration
4 tiedowns, two on each main mount.
Requirement exists just prior to and after shipboard aircraft movement, during shipboard aircraft startup, and immediately after landing aboard ship.
Permanent Tiedown Configuration
12 tiedowns (two on each attachment point)
Required aboard ship when not at flight quarters.
Heavy Weather Tiedown
18 tiedowns (three on each attachment point).
Required with weather conditions in which surface winds reach an average velocity of 35 knots or greater and/or sea state of 8 feet, or winds over the deck exceeds 60 knots, pitch exceeds 4 deg or roll exceeds 12 deg.
How long do you need to wait after engine shutdown before checking or servicing engine oil level?
20 minutes
Prevents potential engine seal failure upon restarting engine.
How long do you need to wait before checking the APU oil level after APU shutdown?
1 hour
What does NATOPS stand for?
Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization
What is the scope of NATOPS?
It provides the best T/M/S aircraft information and operating instructions for most circumstances. However, no manual can address every situation completely or be a substitute for sound judgement.
Define a ‘Note’
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc. that must be emphasized.
Define a ‘Caution’
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition etc. that may result in damage to equipment if not carefully observed or followed.
Define a ‘Warning’
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc. that may result in injury, death, or loss of aircraft if not carefully observed or followed.
“Shall”
Is only used when application of a procedure is mandatory
“Should”
Is used only when application of a procedure is recommended.
What are the primary missions of the MH-60R?
CANES: Command and Control, ASW, Non-Combat Ops, EW, SUW
What are the secondary missions of the MH-60R?
HAILFAN: Health Services, Air Warfare, Intel Ops, Logistics, Fleet Support, Amphibious Warfare, Naval Special Warfare
Name the four operational necessity situations in NATOPS.
- Emergency Fuel: A fuel which may be used for a minimum time when no other primary or restricted fuel is available in case of emergency or operational necessity.
- Night VERTREP: [Warning] Night shipboard external cargo operations present serious hazards to personnel and equipment and shall not be conducted except for reasons of operational necessity.
- Night HIFR: Operations are extremely demanding and are only permitted for operational necessity.
- Rescue via one or two wheels: [Warning] Due to the increased pilot workload associated with one or two wheel landings and the increased potential for mishap, one or two wheel landing operations shall not be conducted except for operational necessity.
