203.1.3 Mission equipment:
a. Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR):
Used to detect objects at distance much greater than they are visually possible.
Provides constant aircraft identification.
c. Flight Control systems:
Receives navigation data from the navigation systems installed on the aircraft.
d. Ground proximity warning system (GPWS):
Provides the pilot and copilot with visual and aural warnings of a flight condition that could cause the aircraft to come in close proximity to the ground.
Indicates absolute altitude of aircraft above the terrain.
203.1.4 Miscellaneous equipment:
Provides a 24 volts DC power supply.
b. Aircraft generators:
They supply 3 phase, 400-hertz electrical power at 200/115 volts.
c. Transformer Rectifier:
Used for converting power from the AC power supply system to 28 volts DC.
d. Inverters:
Provide a secondary aircraft power supply.
203.1.5 Aircraft exterior lighting
Shall be used immediately before engine starting and at all times when the aircraft engine is in operations
b. Formation lights:
Used to the extent necessary for safety
c. Navigation lights:
Attracts visual attention to the aircraft position at night
Is used for illuminating the runway to detect any surface hazards
e. Taxi lights:
Are used for illuminating the taxi way while aircraft is moving from runway to parking apron
f. Wing leading edge lights:
Used to illuminate the nacelles
203.2.1 Discuss briefly the purpose of the electrical power supply system:
203.5.1 During ground operations, what safety precautions shall be observed for the following?
a. HF:
Prior to performing operational check out of the HF communication system ensure that no personnel are on top of the aircraft.
Strobe lights must be turned on. The radiation hazard extends to 35 feet, in a span of 180 degrees off the nose of the aircraft.
Direct viewing of the strobe lights must be avoided when in the white mode.
204.1.1 State and explain the squadrons mission statement.
Fleet Logistics Support Squadrons operate 24 hours a day; available at very short notice to provide global logistics support for U.S. Naval forces deployed and stationed throughout the world.
Primary theaters of operation include the Mediterranean and Europe, Southwest Asia and the Middle East, Indian Oceans and Austral-Asia.
Flexibility and rapid response to contingencies around the world are fundamental requirements of today’s Navy, and is accomplished by the thorough training of active duty, and selective reserve personnel to maintain maximum readiness to perform assigned tasks and logistics support for fleet units as directed by higher authority.
204.1.2 State the command’s operational chain of command.
B. XO
C. OIC (When CO and XO are SELRES)
D. Aviation Safety Officer
E. Administrative Department
F. Safety Department
G. Operations Department
H. Maintenance Department
I. Training/NATOPS Department
J. AIS Department
204.1.3 Discuss the role of the C/KC-130 mission.
204.1.4 Discuss the following primary warfare mission areas
Provide communications for own unit.
Provide tactical voice communications.
Process message traffic.
b. Fleet Support Operations (FSO)
