CNAF 2P Lookups Flashcards
(32 cards)
Operational Necessity
A mission associated with war or peacetime operations in which the consequences of an action justify accepting the risk of loss of aircraft and crew.
Local Flying Area
That area in the vicinity of an air installation in which locally-based aircraft can operate during an average/typical sorties flight time. The local flying area shall not exceed 350 miles from an air installation and be designated as such in the Air Operations Manual by the Commanding Officer. In so far as practicable, local flying areas shall be bounded by prominent terrain features and/or air navigation aid radials/distances.
Instrument Time
The portion of pilot time in either day or night under actual or simulated instrument conditions.
Actual Instrument Time…
Will be logged by both pilots in a dual/multi-piloted aircraft during flight in actual instrument conditions.
Who can log Simulated Instrument Time?
Shall be logged only by the pilot actually manipulating the controls.
Orientation Flight
A continuous-flight in DOD aircraft performed within the local flying area and terminating at the point of origin intended to further the understanding of particular programs concerning the roles and missions of the DOD.
Night Time
The portion of pilot time during darkness (I.e. between the official time of sunset and sunrise (on the surface below the aircraft in flight), regardless of whether visual or instrument conditions exist).
OTC
Officer in Tactical Command - the senior officer present eligible to assume command, or the officer to who has been delegated tactical command.
Hazard
A condition with the potential to cause personal injury or death, property damage, or mission degradation.
Risk
An expression of possible loss in terms of severity and probability.
Weather Criteria for Filing
Flight plans shall be filed based on all the following:
- The actual weather at the point of departure at the time of clearance.
- The existing and forecast weather for the entire route of flight.
- Destination and alternate forecasts for a period 1 hour before ETA until 1 hour after ETA.
IFR Filing Criteria
Passengers Over Water
Helicopter and Tiltrotor passenger overwater flights at night are authorized subject to the following restrictions:
a. Ship launches and recoveries shall be made during daylight hours. This constraint may be waived by the Strike Group Commander, Amphibious Squadron Commander, Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Commander or Officer in Tactical Command (OTC) in cases of operationally necessity.
b. In cases of Tactical Evacuation (TACEVAC), a qualified medical attendant who is current in approved water survival training (non-aircrew underwater emergency egress as a minimum training requirement), and has been properly briefed on emergency egress procedures for that aircraft, may be transferred at night with approval from the ship’s Commanding Officer.
c. This does not preclude troop movement in support of amphibious exercises, visit board search and seizure (VBSS) level III operations, or SPECOPS training and operational missions.
Pax Overwater
Competent Authority, at night separate card. But PIC can in cases of SAR, TACEVAC, or disaster relief (after all efforts to receive competent authority have been exhausted, they still need to be notified asap)

HAC Requirements (6)
The NATOPS Manual shall establish the designation for the particular model, and an individual shall:
- Have completed the requirements for and possess to an advanced degree the knowledge, proficiency, and capabilities of a second pilot.
- Have a minimum of 500 total flight hours.a.) Simulator hours flown as part of a formal helicopter syllabus may be credited for up to 10%.

Flight Over the High Seas
Tower or radar control by ship, Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC), or other suitable agency, shall be used to the maximum extent practicable. Degree of control shall be appropriate to the nature of the operation, classification of airspace, number of aircraft involved, and the requirement to coordinate aircraft ingress and egress to/from the operating area.
Aerial Photography

Once authorized, images or video shall not be posted to the internet unless approved by the security manager and designated public affairs officer. Public affairs officers shall ensure posted video does not infringe on copyright material or seek legal review if in doubt.
