For the SSGN, the outline, rectangular in shape, should encompass missile hatches 17, 18, 19, and 20 (see Figures 11-9 and 11-10). VERTREP area (rectangular) on the main deck (aft of the sail) should be clearly outlined with a 4-inch wide, high-visibility tape. The submarine should establish the relative wind at 320 to 350 degrees relative with wind magnitude between 10 and 20 knots.Ģ. 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 magnitude of the wind over the deck should be no greater than 20 knots. P- Personnel required to be in the area of helicopters that are disengaging rotors shall stand next to the fuselage or well outside the rotor arc.Į- Except in cases of emergency, pilots shall not disengage, stop engines, or fold rotor blades without proper signal from LSE.Ī- An aircraft shall not be flown over another aircraft.ī- Because of the limited size of the landing area, aircraft shall not be loaded/unloaded while an aircraft is landing/launching on an adjacent spot.į- For special and tactical operations, such as troop assault, Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) insertion, troop recon operations, etc., members of those parties may be waivered from wearing normal cranial and life vest protection due to their environmental/situational clothing, the brief duration of the flight, and requirement to debark quickly. Consideration shall be given to traversing the aircraft into the hangar and removing flight deck personnel prior to operations within the red or yellow regions. Commanding officer approval, informed by recommendation from an OIC, or senior aircraft commander present, when an aircraft detachment is embarked, is required prior to operations within the yellow regions of these plots when personnel or aircraft are on the flight deck.
Complete staging of the flight deck is permissible, provided another ready deck is available.ĭ- During combined wet well/flight deck operations, aircraft shall avoid over flying landing craft at low altitude.ĭ- DDG 51 class ship operations within the red regions of the wave hazard plots (Figures 7-1, 7-2, and 7-3) are prohibited with personnel or aircraft on the flight deck.
W- When staging deck cargo, the air officer/HCO should ensure that sufficient clear space is available for possible emergency landing. Aircraft should be chocked (minimum) for passenger loading. W- When changing pilots or hot refueling, the aircraft shall be chocked and have tiedowns attached. W- The waveoff and hold or stop signals are mandatory and shall be executed immediately. H- Helicopters shall not be ground taxied on the flight deck. H- Helicopters shall never be towed or pushed while rotors are engaged or while the ship is turning. H- Helicopters shall not be launched or recovered nor shall rotors be engaged or disengaged while ship is turning.
