Q

Flight Schedule Procedures (WO-1)

A

The SDO is responsible for overseeing the execution of the execution of the daily flight schedule. When the changes to the flight schedule need to be made, those changes must be annotated on the master flight schedule and approved by the CO. In the absence of the CO, the XO, or in the absence of the XO, the Ops O may approve the changes. If none of the above personnel are available, the SDO is authroized to make the required change. When a change is made, the SDO, shall ensure all requirements of CNAF have been met.

When conducting embarked det ops, changes to a published flight schedule SHALL be approved by teh ships CO and the Det OIC

91
Q

Chocks

A

Chocks SHALL be removed prior to resetting the struts or conducting high power evolutions

Chocks SHOULD be utilized on all cross country and OUT/IN flights.

92
Q

Tailwheel Lockpin

A

An operable tailwheel lock pin is required for shipboard evolutions. The folowing maneuverrs SHOULD not be attempted during training flights with an inoperable tailwheel lock pin:
1. Boost off landings
2. Running landings
3. Landings to an unprepared surface

All other maneuvers SHALL be thoroughly breiefed by the crew to include an ORM assessment of the impact of degraded equipment.

93
Q

ECS operation

A

In high humidity environments, ECS blower/vents SHOULD be positioned as required to prevent damage to RMCU and trackballs at all stations due to water intrusion.

94
Q

MX personnel working hours

A

While ashore, magicians SHOULD not be scheduled for more than 12 hours and SHALL not exceed 14 hours of continious work, to include watch. The CO may waive these provisions during emergencies or advanced readiness periods and remains the final approval authority for exceeding the 14 hour limit. The MO SHOULD be notified if home guard mx shifts will exceed 11 hours. The CO SHALL be notified if shift length exceeds 12 hours.

95
Q

Blade de ice panel

A

Blade de ice panel, if installed, SHOULD be checked OFF and AUTo during prestart checklist and each time mx is performed in the aircraft.

96
Q

SO window

A

The SO window may be removed on deck at the aircrews discretion to aid the aircrewmen in clearing the aircraft of obstacles for landing during CAL LZ flights. The window SHALL be reinstalled by authroized mx personnel. Qualified aircrewmen may temporarily re install the SO windwo for the purposes of utilzing the hot pits and or wash wrack.

97
Q

First dip

A

Upon completion of major ALFS mx necessitating first dip per IETMS, a mx dip SHOULD be conducted in daylight hours whenever operational requirements allow. In the shipboard environment, ORM SHOULD be conducted by the OIC with emphasis on sea state, divert options and reference to a visible horizon.

98
Q

Autorotations

A

Aircraft gross weight SHOULD be less than 19,500 lbs for autorotation training. Crews SHOULD consider winds, DA, crew proficiency, recovery altitude, and warmup maneuvers prior to intiating practice auto training, particularly in a known heavy aircraft or light wind environment.

99
Q

HUNG DOME

A

CPADC
1. Clear of landing spot
2. Padding
3. Alt for safe recovery
4. Deck lowering
5. Cabin

100
Q

Smoke Markers

A

Except in an emergency, smoke markers SHALL not be dropped closer than 10NM from the coastline or inland waterways, unless on a designated range or dip area.

Smoke markers that cannot be dearmed SHALL be jettisoned outside of 10NM from the coastline and prior to returning to home base and final landing.

101
Q

H2P/H2P flights

A
  1. Simulated emergencies
  2. Movement of PCLs from fly
  3. Night coupled approaches
  4. 180 practice autos
    Are prohibited on 2P/2P flights. Shipboard H2P flights may be scheduled by OICs with the permission of squadron and ship COs and SHALL be conducted as day VMC, non training flights only.
102
Q

Ordnance carriage

A

With the exception of sonobuoys and smoke markers, carrying live ordnance over populated areas SHALL be avoided. If a mission requires flight to a facility near a populated area, the most direct route that will minimize civilian exposure SHALL be used.

103
Q

Hung Dome procedures - Clear

A

If embarked, the Airboss or HCO SHALL ensure all personnel are clear of the landing spot with the exception of th emin number of mx personnel required (aprox 4)

104
Q

Hung dome procedures - Padding

A

Consideration SHOULD be given to securing a mattress or padding to the deck either on or adjacent to the landing spot, POCL dependent, with tie down straps to provide a cushion onto which the dome could be lowered in order to minimize damage.

105
Q

Hung dome procedures - Altitude

A

The aircraft SHOULD hover at an approprite altitude to facilitiate recovery. Max safe altitude will depend on POCL and environmental considerations. The LSE SHOULD be positioned in the best location to provide signals for placing the dome on the deck.

106
Q

Hung dome procedures - Deck

A

Considerations will dictate whether the cable will be sheared or the dome lowered to the deck. If lowered to the deck and sufficient POCL exists to allow mx personnel to disconnect the dome, they SHALL ensure the dome is grounded to prevent electrical shock and will then disconnect the dome from the cable. After the dome is detached, the aircraft will begin a descent and cable SHALL be walked with two person integrity away from the ladning spot. If there is insufficient POCL to allow maintainers to safely work under the aircraft, the crew may opt to lower the dome onto the padding and then slide to land.

107
Q

Hung dome procedures - Cabin

A

After landing and placement of chocks and chains, the cable SHOULD be placed in the aircraft cabin prior to aircraft shutdown.
