Answer 34

500 gal per day if not sheltered and 100 gal per day if sheltered

Answer 35

As a general rule, the radius of action, all conditions being optimum, shall not exceed 45 percent of maximum range The radius of action may be further reduced at night under electronic EMCON or IMC for those aircraft with limited internal Dead Reckoning (DR) navigation systems.

Answer 36

DDG 51 Class ship operations within the red regions of the Wave Hazard Plots, are prohibited with aircraft and/or personnel on the flight deck or aft lookout position. Consideration shall be given to traversing the aircraft into the hangar and to the removal of flight deck personnel prior to operations in these red or yellow regions.

Answer 37

Post-deployment “fly-offs” have statistically proven to be more hazardous because of the psychological factors involved and, therefore, normally should not be conducted at night or under instrument flight conditions. Fly-off distances shall not exceed 75 percent of maximum range for that particular aircraft.

Answer 38

Initial- This configuration is required for all aircraft prior to launch, upon recovery, immediately after an aircraft is respotted, or immediately preceding movement of an aircraft. Permanent- This configuration is required when not at flight quarters or when an aircraft is not scheduled or expected to be launched or respotted.

Units directed to secure the radar altimeter by the EMCON condition set shall advise the OTC of the requirement to use radar altimeters for all night and IMC flights over water in peacetime.

Answer 43

The flight deck is always the preferred area for loading aircraft. Loading on the hangar deck may be authorized by the commanding officer when operational necessity dictates acceptance of the added risk of fire with fuel and explosives both in a confined area.

Answer 44

A helicopter may be hangared in an alert condition with the torpedoes, marine markers, sonobuoys, and Cartridge-Actuated Devices (CADs) in place, but safety devices shall not be removed from launchers until the helicopter is ready for takeoff

Answer 45

During NVD VERTREP operations, the U.S. Navy Mk 105 pendant should be used, if possible, to minimize hover altitude and enhance visual cues for the aircrew; however, use of the Mk 92 reach pendant is authorized

Answer 46

When the helicopter is over the transfer point, the person to be transferred will be wearing the rescue strop and will be positioned at the hatch as directed by the crewman. As a hover is established, the crewman will raise the hoist slightly to take on the weight of the passenger, dampen cable oscillation, and then lower away. Flight deck personnel shall ground out the helicopter hoist cable prior to the passenger reaching the ship's deck. The crewman will adjust the hoist so that the passenger is not dragged about when leaving the rescue strop

Answer 47

When transferring a passenger from a ship to a helicopter, a hover will be established with the cargo door open and cable payed out 6 to 8 feet. An inflatable lifejacket, eye protection, and protective headgear shall be provided by the aircrew and should be attached to the rescue strop upon initial lowering. The passenger shall not be lifted from the deck of the ship until the lifejacket, eye protection, and protective headgear are donned.

Answer 48

Material weighing less than 30 pounds shall be transferred in a weighted bag. The bag will be furnished by the helicopter and be returned immediately after each pickup to be used for the transfer of additionalmaterial. Significant amounts of material weighing less than 30 pounds should be combined into one bag or tied together to reduce helicopter hover time.

Answer 49

Transfers of personnel to and from submarines by helicopter are not a routine operation. The combination of a small moving platform, effects of the environment, and the lack of adequate pilot visual reference to the submarine creates a challenging evolution even under favorable conditions. A transfer should not be attempted in a sea state above 4.

Answer 50

1. Center of main deck (Figure 11-4 Sheet 1 of 3) (Submarine Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) only). In this method, the submarine positions itself with the relative winds from 320 to 350° at 15 to 20 knots, and the helicopter takes position heading into the wind. 2. Port sail plane/top of sail (Figure 11-4 Sheet 2) (primary method for Attack Submarine Nuclear [SSN]). In this method, the submarine positions itself with relative winds from 010 to 040° at 15 to 20 knots. The helicopter takes position on the submarine heading into the wind and conducts the transfer to either the port sail plane or the top of the sail (cockpit area). 3. Starboard sail plane (Figure 11-4 Sheet 3). In this method, the submarine positions itself with relative winds from 160 to 200° at 15 to 20 knots with a minimum wind speed of 10 knots. Usually, the submarine maneuvers downwind at slow speed and the helicopter takes position off the submarine's starboard side, maintaining station as necessary.

Answer 51

Night transfers shall not be attempted except in cases of operational necessity. If a night transfer is necessary, the relative wind parameters should be the same as those used for daylight operations. The submarine shall attempt to rig lighting that will illuminate the top of the sail, sail planes, and the afterdeck. A small light should be attached to the highest point of the submarine. The helicopter may illuminate flood or hover lights to provide visual reference with the submarine.

Answer 52

Arelative head wind of 15 to 30 knots is considered ideal. The aircraft should take off, make approaches, and hover into the relative wind.

Answer 53

1. Adequate communications and navigation aids exist between ships and aircraft. 2. Type and number of loads (internal and external). 3. Time required and time available versus operational priority of requirement. 4. Aircraft NATOPS requirements for night VERTREP are met.

Answer 54

Generally, carrying external loads for long distances (over 35 miles for heavy, high-density loads and over 25 miles for light, low-density loads) should not be considered as a standard VERTREP procedure, but rather as a capability that should be reserved for high-priority cargo that justifies the time involved

Answer 55

700-1000yd ship spacing with optimum winds 330-030, acceptable winds 270-090

Answer 56

Night- 300-500 yrd spacing Day- 300-1000 yrd spacing Optimum winds- 270-330, 030-090 Acceptable- 330-030

Answer 57

1. METHOD I — As the helicopter hovers over the load, the hookup man raises the pendant, slips the eye over the helicopter’s hook, then clears the area by moving toward the LSE. 2. METHODII—The hookup man hands the pendant to the aircrewman positioned in the open cargo access hatch and then clears the area moving toward the LSE. The aircrewman will then slip the pendant over the helicopter’s hook, ensuring that the load is secured and ready for lifting. 3. METHODIII—The hook up man holds the pendant up until the aircrewman in the open cargo access hatch guides the pendant onto the helicopter’s hook. The hookup man then clears the area by moving toward the LSE.

Answer 58

Do not hook an empty net to the aircraft without at least four wood or six metal pallets or an equivalent weight in the net. To do so would endanger the aircraft by allowing the net to blow into the rotors. In questionable cases, consult the pilot in command

Answer 59

— A natural horizon is present. — The drop/pickup zone of the ship to be worked is clearly visible from the aircraft’s cockpit when over the drop/pickup zone of the transferring/receiving ship.

Answer 60

The magnitude of the wind over the deck should be no greater than 20 knots. The wind azimuth may be between 0 to 90 degrees and 270 to 360 degrees relative to the submarines’ longitudinal axis as long as the helicopter heading is such that a headwind component exists. The submarine should establish the relative wind at 320 to 350 degrees relative with wind magnitude between 10 and 20 knots. 2. VERTREP area (rectangular) on the main deck (aft of the sail) should be clearly outlined with a 4-inch wide, high-visibility tape. For the SSGN, the outline, rectangular in shape, should encompass missile hatches 17, 18, 19, and 20 (see Figures 11-9 and 11-10). The tape should be carried in the helicopter transfer kit aboard the submarine. 3. The First Lieutenant, LSE, and transfer petty officer should position themselves just aft of the sail in clear view of the pilot. All personnel shall be in appropriate safety attire, with safety harnesses. The logistics/escape hatch should be secured during load drop and retrograde pickup.

Answer 61

Personnel transfers to or from ships during cold-weather operations should be kept to a minimum as required by operational necessity. Cold-weather passenger transfers should be performed over the shortest distance possible, preferably within visual range.

1. Being launched or recovered 2. Engaging or disengaging rotors 3. Being traversed 4. Being towed or pushed about the deck

Answer 71

Greater than 15 knots | “Squat” by the stern

Answer 72

Defy: a hydro-dynamic phenomenon which occurs when increased water flow causes pressure differentials to form near the stern, resulting in a decrease in aft fretboard as the ship accelerates Further exacerbated by the ship’s counter-rotating, over-the-top style propellers This effect can lower the freeboard of DDG 51 class ships by as much as six inches for every knot greater than 15 knots

Answer 94

HERO = Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance - Modern radio and radar transmitting equipment produce high-intensity radio frequency fields that can cause premature actuation of sensitive electro-explosive devices contained in ordnance systems and biological injury to personnel working in the vicinity of radiating elements - Sparks/arcs caused by high-intensity fields are a potential source of ignition for fuel-air mixtures

Answer 95

Most susceptible: During assembly, disassembly, loading, or testing in electromagnetic fields Effects: cuddling, loss of reliability, or, in the case of rockets and flares, ignition of the propellant illuminating -In several electromagnetic radiation environments, there is a low but finite probability of warhead detonation. Therefore, is is necessary to positively control the ship’s electromagnetic environment during the presence, handling, or unloading of HERO susceptible ordnance

Answer 96

If an aircraft is downed after weapons have been armed, dearming shall be completed prior to aircraft shutting down. Arming shall be conducted only after the aircraft rotors are engaged and the aircraft is otherwise ready for launch. Tie down chains normally will be removed by arming personnel prior to leaving the rotor arc to preclude deck personnel from coming into contact with armed ordnance.
