Case 2?

Case 3?

A

Case I: When it is anticipat that flights will not encounter IMC during daytime departures, recoveries, and the ceiling and visibility in the carrier control zone are no lower than 3000ft/5 nm

Case II: When it is anticipated that flights may encounter IMC during a daytime departure or recovery, and the ceiling and visibility in the carrier control zone are no lower than 1000ft/5 nm

Q

How do they sequence the helicopters from the delta?

Where will they land?

A

When recovering a flight of helicopters, the leader should plan to be at the ramp with a minimum safe interval after the last fixed wing aircraft has landed.

The helo who is furthest advanced on the inbound radial and has not turned inbound to parallel the ships course will be considered number one in the landing pattern and should expeditiously effect a landing following recovery of the last fixed wing aircraft.

The first helo to land SHOULD be assigned the landing spot furthest forward into the wind, with the follow on aircraft being cleared to land in sequence behind the number one helo.

Q

How do you recover Case III unaided?

A

Case III unaided helicopter recoveries SHALL be conducted to the angled deck, from astern, utilizing the OLS.

Q

How do you execute a night EMCON Approach?

A

Recovery procedures are listen in the Air Wing TACSOP.

Pattern is flown visually between 045-110° relative. After the last fixed wing aircraft has landed, the helicopter will switch position lights to FLASHING/BRIGHT.

Accelerate to 90 knots at the right hand abeam position and turn to intercept the optical glide slope at 1NM and 400ft. At the 45° position the lead helicopter will receive a green signal from tower at which point they will switch their lights to STEADY/DIM and proceed to land.

If a red light is received with passing through the 45° position, they will wave off to the right and reenter starboard holding.

Q

What is advisory control?

Who provides separation?

A

It SHALL be used when the traffic density in the operating area requires a higher degree of control for safety flight. It is normally limited to VMC.

Traffic separation is the responsibility of the individual pilot with assistance from the controlling agency.

Q

How do you execute a missed app Case 3?

What if you go lost coms?

A

Helicopters SHALL climb straight ahead on the extended final bearing to 300ft and await instructions from approach control.

If instructions are not received, he will assume communication failure and execute a turn downwind reporting abeam.

If radio contact is not reestablished Helicopters reenter through the 3NM DME fix or turn inbound 2 min past abeam
