>25 yd between survivors
parachute and DD
shall not DD if still attached to parachute
when shall swimmer be deployed via hoist
night/imc
hazards
discretion of PIC
when shall DD be used
when crew determines it is the safest method
2 items required for DD
trisar and quickstrop
DD and spinal injuries
not a great idea

LSE responsible for
ensuring a/c are safely started, engaged, launched, recovered, and shutdown with tie downs removed and installed as appr
105 positive control shall be used

(105) can we refuel and load/download simultaneously?
yes but no electrical connections
lightning and ordnance
nothing other than downloading forward firing ordnance
(105) what ordnance can we load on hangar deck with CO operational necessity
smokes and torp
do we leave cockpit with hung ordnace
not unless we are sure it is safe
can we do mx on a/c with weapons
only light servicing and minor mx
5 things LSE shall ensure before launching
all tie downs removed
area affected by downwash is clear of unnecessary personnel and area we will fly over is clear
airborne a/c are clear
confirm launching signal from prifly
sufficient clearance exists if doing post mx hover checks
do you use call sign with tower
no side number only
how to depart carrier in case I or II
how tower tells you
how to depart carrier case III
if possible stay under clouds, if not go to prebriefed departure fix by
- take off
- fly straight climb to 150-300 aided 200-300 unaided or as assigned
- arc within 3 to departure radial
- climb once outside 12nm
only time PG should be in STBD D
