Ship Ops

SAR is covered in Chapter 3 of your Tactics FTI. Shipboard OPS are covered in Chapter 4. The sims are typically flown back to back on the same day, unless your squadron doesn't have any wingers, then you'll do one a day. When you find out you are scheduled for these events, go get a copy of the ship approach plates (they should be in the pubs room in HT-8/18 spaces. If not, ask Mr. Gumps). Also, see if you can check out a SARTAC book. Flights are often interspersed with forms. When you go to the boat, you may need to bring a copy of the CV and LHA/LHD NATOPS, the NWP, and the Shipboard Facilities Resume to the brief. Be somewhat familiar with these pubs. The brief is given by the IPs with a little input from the students in 18. They have a Powerpoint to go over most of the flight- Look over the radio calls and the pattern numbers. BTW- The ship is "Baylander"-not "IX514"
