NAVAIR 00-80T-105 CV NATOPS Flashcards
What is the weather minimum for launch
200-1/2
What are the helo restrictions during FW launch/recovery
RESTRICTED SHADED AREAS: 340-020 out to 5 NM;
190-150 out to 3 NM; 1 NM around CV
5 nm: 020-150 - 400’ and below
150-340 - 300’ and below
5-10nm: 340-020 - 200’ and below
020-340 - 400’ and below
Case I Departure
Less than 1000-5 or night time ops (1/2 hour before sunset until 1/2 hour after sunrise)
Case II Departure
Greater than 1000-5 but less than 3000-5
Night/IMC/Case III Departure
Less than 1000-5 or night time ops (1/2 hour after sunset until 1/2 hour before sunrise)
Departure procedures for Case I or II
Helos SHALL clear the control zone as directed by tower. When departing for operations w/i the control zone (for example, SAR), they SHALL remain under control of the tower or other designated controlling agency
Departure procedures for Case III
Whenever possible, helicopters SHALL be maintained as a flight beneath the clouds. If unable to remain beneath the clouds, they SHALL proceed individually to pre-briefed departure fixes. After T/O, they SHALL climb straight ahead to between 200-300’ (unaided), 150-300’ (aided), or assigned by CATCC, and arc within 3nm to intercept the assigned departure radial. Helos being launched from the angled deck will not cross the bow when fixed-wing a/c are being launched. SAR helos will arc to the SAR pattern if able to remain beneath the clouds. If the SAR helo is unable to remain beneath the clouds, the procedure presented SHALL be carried out under positive control of CATCC and position will be taken in helo marshal. The climb to departure altitude will be commenced on the departure radial outside 12 nm
Where is the primary TACAN marshal fix
1000’ at 5nm on the 110 degree radial relative to the expected final bearing.
For multiple helos, each successive marshal holding fix adds 1nm of distance and 500’ of altitude. Holding pattern is a right hand racetrack pattern with 2nm legs. Inbound leg SHALL pass over holding fix
Where is the helo emergency marshal radial
Same as normal helo marshal radial w/helo emergency holding normally commencing at 7nm
From the marshal, what is the profile for instrument recovery?
Arc at 90KIAS and 500fpm descent to intercept 145 relative to final bearing at or above 900’. Unless otherwise directed, helos SHALL commence transition to landing configuration prior to 3nm fix
During Case III recoveries, what should CATCC do?
Vector helicopters to intercept final bearing at 3nm and 500’ MSL
Weather mins for NPA and MODE III
300-3/4 and 200-1/2 respectively
Waveoff procedures for instrument approaches
Helos SHALL climb straight ahead on the extended final bearing to an altitude of 300’ and await instructions from approach control. If no instructions are received w/i 2 minutes or prior to reaching 4 nm ahead of the ship, the pilot will attempt to make contact with the ship, giving ID and position. If instructions are not received, the pilot will assume comm failure and execute a turn downwind reporting downwind abeam. If radio contact is not reestablished, the pilot will proceed downwind and reenter through the 3 nm fix or turn inbound 2 minutes past abeam
Are personnel permitted to approach or depart a helicopter while its rotors are being engaged or disengaged?
No (SHALL NOT)
Can you overfly other aircraft when departing or approaching?
No (SHALL NOT)
