37
When is Initial Tiedown required?
Before launch, upon recovery, after respotted
38
When is Permanent Tiedown required?

40
What are the Night HIFR requirements? (5)
``` Visible natural horizon seen by pilot Should not exceed pitch 5, roll 10 HIFR Heading Lights LSE positioned at helo control point Comms with A/C and pass numbers ```
41
What is the danger with true winds abaft the beam?
For night/IMC, these winds are not recommended because it couples high nose attitudes with reduced visuals and can cause vertigo PIC shall give permission

55
When is Lost Comms assumed? (4)
- Squawk 7600 - A/C making 120 degree turns every 2 minutes - Radio check 15 minutes overdue - Helo and ship do not make contact at briefed recovery time
56
When is Lost Aircraft assumed? (3)
Positive radar/IFF not established AND EITHER: - Radio check 30 minutes overdue - A/C 30 minutes overdue at briefed recovery time
57
What is an ELVA? (3)
Emergency Low Visibility Approach If executed below 200- 1/2, considered to be emergency and does not have fuel to divert to GCA/CCA Uses Gunfire Control System because is most accurate

What does plots in the white mean?
Does not eliminate the risk of water impacting rotor or washing over flight deck
