Permissible Lighting Degradation - Unaided Operations
Night unaided VMC operation may be conducted in the event of a failure of not more than one of the lighting subsystems required for ship’s facility certification provided the following criteria are met:
- A visible horizon exists and is discernable by the aircraft commander in the shipboard landing/takeoff environment.
- The ship’s CO and embarked Air Detachment OIC concur that the failed lighting system is not critical to the scheduled mission.
Permissible Lighting Degradation - Aided (NVD Operations)
Aided operation may be conducted in the event of a failure of not more than one of the lighting subsystems required for ship’s facility certification provided the following criteria are met:
- A visible horizon exists and is discernable through NVDs by the aircraft commander in the shipboard landing/takeoff environment
- The ship’s CO and embarked Air Detachment OIC concur that the failed lighting system is not critical to the scheduled mission.
- The following subsystems remain operational and available:
- Overhead/Forward Structure Floodlights, Deck surface/Hangar Wash Floodlights, Associated Lighting Control Panels
Tiedown Requirements
- Initial Tiedown: 4 tiedowns (2 on each main mount); required just prior to and after shipboard aircraft movement, during shipboard aircraft startup, and immediately after landing.
- Permanent Tiedown: 12 tiedowns (2 on each point); required aboard ship when not at flight quarters
- Heavy Weather Tiedown: 18 tiedowns (3 each point); required when winds average 35 kts or greater and/or sea state reaches 8’, or wind over the deck exceeds 60 kts, pitch exceeds 4, or roll exceeds 12.
VERTREP Lines
- VERTREP T Line - obstruction clearance when rotor hub aft or on line
- VERTREP Ball and T Line - used for larger aircraft (H-53/V-22)
- VERTREP Two T Lines - clearance assured when rotors in-between 2 T lines
- VERTREP Dash Line - clearance only when rotors are directly over the line
Polar Plots
Ways to Effect a Rescue Overwater
- 10/10
- 15/0
- Reacue via the Hoist
- Direct Deployment
Ways to Effect a Rescue Overland
- Landing to affect a rescue
- One- or two-wheel landings
- Rescue via the hoist
- Rappeling
- Direct deployment
CNAF Takeoff Mins
- Special instrument rating - No takeoff ceiling or visibility minimums apply. Takeoff shall depend on the judgement of the pilot and urgency of flights.
- Standard rating - Published mins for the available non-precision approach, but not less than 300’/1 SM. When precision approach is available, takeoff is authorized provided weather is at least equal to the approach mins but no less than 200’/1/2 SM/2400 RVR
CNAF Fuel Planning Mins
- If an alternate is not required, fuel to fly from takeoff to destination airfield, plus a reserve of 10% of planned fuel requirements.
- If an alternate is required, fuel to fly to from takeoff to the approach fix serving destination and thence to an alternate airfield, plus a reserve of 10% of planned fuel requirements.
- In no case should the planned fuel reserve after final landing at destination or airfield, if one is required, be less than that needed for 20 minutes of flight, computed as follows:
- Turbine-powered helicopters: compute fuel consumption based on operations at planned flight altitude.
Hazard Defintion
A condition with the potential to cause personal injury or death, property damage, or mission degradation.
Risk Definition
An expression of loss in terms of severity and probability.
Operational Necessity Definition
A mission associated with war or peacetime operations in which the consequences of an action justify accepting the risk of loss of aircraft and crew.
Pilot in Command Definition
The pilot assigned responsibility for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.
Flight Definition
For helicopters, a flight begins when the aircraft lifts from a rest point or commences ground taxi and ends after airborne flight when the rotors are disengaged or the aircraft has been stationary for 5 minutes with rotors engaged.
CNAF Authorized Airfields
- Naval aircraft are authorized to operate at and land at all US military and join civil-military airfields.
- Naval aircraft are permitted to operate at civilian airfields listed in the DOD Enroute Supplement or appropriate FAA publications when the contribute to mission accomplishment, add value to training, or are otherwise in the interest of the government and taxpayer.
CNAF Altitude Requirements
CNAF Landing at other than Airfields
Helicopter, tiltrotor, and VSTOL/STOL aircraft are authorized to land at other than airfield locations provided:
- A military requirement exists for such a landing
- Adequate safeguards are taken to permit safe landing and takeoff operations without hazards to people or property
- There are no legal objections to landing at such nonairfield sites
-CO’s are authorized to waive these provisions when the aircraft is engaged in SAR operations
Principles of ORM
AAAM
- Accept risk only when the benefits outweigh the costs
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Anticipate and mange risk by planning
- Make risk decisions at the right level
Levels of ORM
- Time-critical: a quick mental review of the 5-step process when time does not allow for any more (ie. in-flight)
- Deliberate: Experience and brainstorming are used to identify hazards and is best done in groups (ie. fly-on/off)
- In-depth: More substantial tools are used to thoroughly study the hazards and their associated risk in complex operations (ie. Weapons Det)
