17
Q

Where do Air Traffic Controllers work?

A

CATCC

18
Q

What does CATCC stand for?

A

Carrier Air Traffic Control Center

19
Q

How many parts are there to CATCC and what are they?

A

3

Air operations, air transfer office, and carrier controlled approach.

20
Q

What are the three cases of weather?

A

Case 1: Good weather
Case 2: Marginal weather
Case 3: Bad weather or night time ops

21
Q

Weather case 1

A

Good weather

22
Q

Weather case 2

A

Marginal weather

23
Q

Weather case 3

A

Bad weather or night time ops

24
Q

What is the role of the plane guard helo during flight ops?

A

Search and Rescue (man overboard recovery)

25
Q

How does EMCON affect flight operations and what special procedures does CATCC perform durning this time?

A

EMCON prevents CATCC from radiating their primary air search radar and from talking on frequencies. During EMCON, the E-2C Hawkeye’s ciphered radar and voice communications.

26
Q

What is ramp time and who gives it to CATCC?

A

The ramp time is given to CATCC by the Air Officer. It is the time the Air Officer expects the first aircraft of the recovery to hit his flight deck. It is CATCC’s responsibility to get the aircraft on the deck at that EXACT time +/- 15 seconds.

27
Q

Departure Controller

A

This controller talks to all aircraft as they are being launched. They are responsible for safety of aircraft during it’s departure, and tanking operations.

28
Q

Marshall Controller

A

This controller talks to the aircraft while it’s in the holding pattern (marshal stack). The marshal stack begins 21 miles away from the ship and 6000 feet in altitude. MARSHAL IS NOT A RADAR!

29
Q

Approach Controllers

A

These controllers (there are two) talk to the aircraft as they are approaching the ship. They are responsible for the safety of flight during the aircrafts approach, and for the interval between aircraft.

30
Q

Final Controllers

A

These controllers (there are two) give as aircraft a precision approach using the SPN46. They handoff the aircraft to the LSO at 3/4 of a mile.

31
Q

LSO

A

Landing Signal Officer. Visually controls aircraft from 3/4 of a mile to touchdown. Each squadron has their own LSO, usually an off duty pilot.

32
Q

SPN46

A

Precision Approach Landing System (PALS) has a range of 10nm (nautical miles), is unique in the fact that is has an automatic approach capability; Automatic Approaches can only be given to F/A-18’s. Also knows as EASYRIDER.

33
Q

SPN41

A

Provides glide slope information of 3.5 degrees to aircraft. It has a 20nm (nautical miles) range. Common name for it is BULLSEYE.

34
Q

SPN43

A
