4 principles of ORM
-Accept risks if benefits outweigh cost
-Accept no unnecessary risk
-Anticipate & manage risk by planning
-Make risk decision at right level
Purpose of Naval Aviation Safety Program
Eliminate hazards & enhance safety awareness of squadron personnel
Functions of Safety Council/Enlisted Safety Council
Set goals, manage assets, & review safety recommendations

3 levels of war
Tactical
Operational
Strategic
Define tactical warfare
Planning & conduct of battle. Application of concentrated force & offensive action to gain objectives
Define operational warfare
Planning & conduct of campaigns. Assigning missions, tasks, & resources to tactical operations
Define strategic warfare
Art & science of employing national power
Purpose of Naval Intelligence Operations support during peace time
Decision-making process. Centered on focus of effort, identify critical vulnerabilities, & enhance combat effectiveness
2 major components of Naval Logistics
Fleet based- Fleet support
Strategic based- Air & sea assets
Purpose of naval logistics
Ability to move forward & sustain forces at great distances from our shores, critical for military strategy
Importance of planning to Naval Operations
Military action is one of the potential responses to threats to U.S. interests. Crisis-action procedures.

Terms pertaining to motion
Inertia: Remain at rest until acted upon by outside force
Acceleration: Change in speed
Speed: Rate of movement by distance measured
Velocity: Speed at given time & direction

Define airfoil
Structure w/ curved surface giving most favorable ratio of lift to drag in flight. Basic form of wings, fins, & horizontal stabilizers
Bernoulli’s principle
Fluid flowing through a tube reaches constriction. Lift is accomplished by difference in airflow across airfoil.
