VERBATIM Flashcards
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): W
Water: Dipping Sonar operations should not be conducted in seas with wave heights exceeding 10’ during unit-level training or fleet-level exercises. Preflight deliberate ORM and in-flight time critical ORM assessments of forecasted or observed seat state conditions shall be accomplished prior to dipping sonar operations.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): P
POCL: During dipping sonar training operations (with or without submarine), payed-out cable length shall be no more than half the ceiling up to 1,000’ ceiling. When ceilings are above 1,000’, POCL shall be no more than 500’ below ceiling.
During operational ASW involving a submarine, under conditions that preclude a freestream recovery, then POCL need not be restricted. However, ORM shall be conducted to minimize the risk to the transducer assembly in the event of a malfunction.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): C
Cable angle: Cable angle hover mode shall be operable for all dipping sonar operations. Submerged Override shall not be used for routine operations.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): L
Level II: While operating in a squadron’s local area for unit-level training, an ACTC Level II SO shall be in the helicopter on any flight in which dipping is intended.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): F
Fault code: With an 1177 fault (to include on MBIT), cease dipping operations until maintenance action is performed.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): A
AFCS: Dipping operations are prohibited with AFCS degredations affecting Automatic Approach, Coupled Hover, or Cable Angle hover functions.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): T
Towing: If transducer towing groundspeed limits are exceeded, cease dipping operations and document on a MAF.
(V) SOP dipping restrictions (W PCL FATS): S
Steady hover: NATOPS Dipping Sonar/Coupled Hover procedures item 8 “Establish a steady coupled hover” shall be completed prior to “Down Dome”.
PNAC should adjust LONG VEL and LAT VEL potentiometers to control drift and limit groundspeed to no greater than 2 kts.
(V) Crew Rest (HSM-74 SOP)
For planning purposes only, aircrew shall not report earlier than 12 hours prior to the scheduled completion of all flight and post-flight duties.
Post flight duties are assumed to require 1 hour to complete.
Aircrew shall not be scheduled to brief a flight event until 10 hours after completion of post-flight duties.
For land times after 2400, aircrew shall not report to the squadron earlier than 10 hours prior to the scheduled completion of post-flight duties, and shall not be scheduled for a flight or simulator for 12 hours following the completion of post-flight duties.
A SDO on watch for a full 24-hour period or more shall not be scheduled for flights in aircraft for the following day. SDOs on watch for 12 hours or less are exempt from this restriction; normal crew rest requirements apply per CNAF.
Enlisted aircrew shall not be scheduled to brief an event within 12 hours after standing a watch.
(V) Crew day (HSM-74 SOP)
Crew day begins at the commencement of official duties and concludes at the completion of official duties, including post-flight duties. An individual’s crew day shall not exceed 12 hours
What is required for aircrew to bring on all flights with an operational ALFS installed?
an additional aircrewman PCL for cockpit use and a squirt bottle
Recorder DTDs shall be used for all ________.
ASW flights
(V) Cable angle deflection shall be verbally acknowledged by a crewmember when?
just prior to commencing the raise, just prior to transducer breaking the surface of the water, and once it is clear of the water

What does NATOPS stand for?
Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization
What is the scope of NATOPS?
It provides the best T/M/S aircraft information and operating instructions for most circumstances. However, no manual can address every situation completely or be a substitute for sound judgement.
Define a ‘Note’
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc. that must be emphasized.
Define a ‘Caution’
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition etc. that may result in damage to equipment if not carefully observed or followed.
Define a ‘Warning’
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc. that may result in injury, death, or loss of aircraft if not carefully observed or followed.
“Shall”
Is only used when application of a procedure is mandatory
“Should”
Is used only when application of a procedure is recommended.
What are the primary missions of the MH-60R?

What are the secondary missions of the MH-60R?
HAILFAN: Health Services, Air Warfare, Intel Ops, Logistics, Fleet Support, Amphibious Warfare, Naval Special Warfare
