CVN NATOPS EXAM WITH QUESTIONS ANDANSWERS LATEST UPDATED
Pax transfers
All passenger transfers shall be conducted IAW OPNAVINST 3710.7 series.
3.10
Base recovery course
The ship's magnetic heading during flight operations.
Bingo
An order to proceed and land at the field specified, utilise a bingo profile.
Aircraft is considered to be in an emergency fuel situation. Bearing, distance,
and destination shall be provided.
Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC)
CATCC is comprised of two interdependent work centres, Air Operations (Air
Ops) and Carrier Controlled Approach (CCA). It is the centralized agency
responsible for the status keeping of all carrier air operations and control of all
airborne aircraft under the operations officer's cognizance except those being
controlled by CDC and the air officer.
Carrier control area
A circular airspace within a radius of 50 nm around the carrier, extending
upward from the surface to infinity, under control of CATCC except for those
aircraft operating under control of the air officer during Case I and II operations.
Note: The radius and height may be limited because of adjacent controlled
airspace.
Carrier control zone
The airspace within a circular limit defined by 5mileshorizontal radius from the
carrier, extending upward from the surface to and including 2,500 feet unless
otherwise designated for special operations, and is under the cognizance of the
air officer during VMC.
Charlie
Signal for aircraft to land aboard the ship. A number suffix indicates time delay
before landing.
Concurrent operations
Sequential launch and recovery of fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft in the
same cycle.
,Delta
A signal given to hold and conserve fuel at an altitude and position appropriate
to type aircraft and case recovery in effect.
Divert
An order for an aircraft to proceed and land at the f ield specified. Bearing,
distance, and destination shall be provided.
Emergency expected approach time (EEAT)
The future time, assigned prior to launch, at which an aircraft is cleared to
depart inbound or penetrate from a preassigned fix under lost communication
conditions.
Emergency marshall
A marshal established by CATCC and given to each pilot prior to launch with
an altitude and an EEAT. The emergency marshal radial shall have a minimum
of 30° separation from the primary marshal.
Fox corpen
Ship's true heading during flight operations.
KILO report
A pilot coded report indicating aircraft mission readiness
Marshall
Abearing, distance, and altitude fix designated by CATCC from which pilots
will orient holding and from which initial approach will commence.
Marshall control
control position in CATCC responsible for providing control and arrival
information to inbound aircraft until handed off to another controlling agency.
Monitor control
The monitoring of radar and radio channels for emergency transmissions.
Nonradar control
A form of air traffic control in which the pilot flies according to a published
procedure or as prescribed by the controlling agency. Traffic separation is
provided by the controlling agency, using frequent pilot position reports and
modified separation criteria. This form of control is used only in case of
emergency, when all shipboard air control radar is inoperative or, in the opinion
of the CATCC officer, unusable.
Operation commitment
A situation of such compelling urgency that failure to grant a deviation from
established explosive safety criteria will have a deleterious impact on the
mission readiness of naval forces.
Popeye
, Apilot coded report indicating aircraft flying in clouds or area of reduced
visibility.
Positive control
A form of air traffic control in which the controlling agency has radar and radio
contact with the aircraft being controlled and published approach or departure
procedures are complied with, or where specific assignments regarding heading
and altitude are issued by the controller. While altitude separation is provided
by pilot maintaining assigned altitude, lateral and time separation is the
responsibility of the air traffic controller. Speed changes may be directed by the
air traffic controller.
Ramp time (ready deck)
Anticipated time specified by PriFly that the deck will be ready to recover
aircraft and the first aircraft of a Case III recovery is expected to be at the ramp.
Red light
The local time at which a helicopter will no longer be SAR capable and has
approximately 30 minutes of flight time remaining.
Spin
A command directing entry into the spin pattern. The command "Spin" may be
issued by either the air officer or a flight leader.
Spin pattern
A left-hand pattern employed for jet and turboprop aircraft to reenter the break
during Case I or Case II recoveries. The pattern will be flown at 1,200 feet
oriented on the BRC or expected BRC. The pattern will not exceed a distance of
3 nm from the ship.
Starboard holding pattern
045° and 110° relative to the BRC for helicopters. COD aircraft 1,000 feet or
altitude assigned by CV primary (no lower than 500 feet), and helicopters 300
feet or below.
Three nautical mile dme fix
A checkpoint in a CCA on the final bearing 3 miles from the carrier through
which all turboprop aircraft and helicopters will pass in a landing configuration.
Ziplip
A condition that may be prescribed for flight operations during daylight VMC
conditions under which positive communications control is waived and radio
transmissions between aircraft, pilots, and control agencies are held to the
minimum necessary for safety of f light. The exception is COD aircraft, unless
specifically noted in the overhead message.
