b. Fire lanes:
Fire lanes are specifically designed to allow fire apparatus unobstructed access at all times to an aircraft in the event of a fire or medical emergency. They shall be clearly marked and kept clear. Parking in designated fire lanes is strictly prohibited
c. Smoking or open flames:
Smoking and/or open flames shall not be permitted within 50 feet of parked aircraft, hangar bays, etc.
Aircraft shall be electrically grounded during all maintenance evolutions.
Grounding procedures- Attach grounding wire to the ground first, then to aircraft.
Un-grounding procedure- Disconnect the grounding wire from aircraft, then disconnect it from the ground.
101.4 Define the term (HERO) and discuss the safety precautions associated with handling Cartridge Actuated Devices (CADS).
The potential for electromagnetic radiation, radio waves, radar, etc, to adversely affect munitions, ordnance, or electroexplosive devices.
Physical contact with the cartridge actuated device during handling and loading operations is prohibited.
When HERO conditions are set, all radio transmissions and communications are halted.
101.5 Discuss the safety precautions that must be observed during Liquid Oxygen (LOX) servicing.
The liquid has an expansion ratio of about 862 to 1, which means that one volume of LOX will expand about 862 times when converted to a gas at atmospheric pressure. Thus, 1 liter of LOX produces about 862 liters of gaseous oxygen.
Before servicing the liquid oxygen system ensure that hands, clothing, and all tools and equipment are clean. Extreme care must be taken not to splash or spill LOX on clothing.
When LOX is mixed with cloth, an ideal and deadly situation for a fire exists...a fire that cannot be put out.
LOX itself will not burn, but mixed with the smallest amount of nearly any material, will cause the liquid to boil and splash violently, making combustion possible.
Once an oxygen enriched fire is started, it is virtually impossible to extinguish until the oxygen supply is cut off.
101.6 Discuss the safety precautions to be observed during fueling operations.
- Locate the aircraft outdoors, at least 100 feet from any hangar or building.
- Do not taxi, tow, or operate any aircraft within 50 feet of any fuel servicing operations.
- Do not perform fuel-servicing operations within 50 feet of any fuel spill until the spill has been removed and the hazard site is safe.
101.7 Discuss the hazards associated with aircraft jacking.
- Do not jack the aircraft unless it is statically grounded, and ensure all ground power is secured.
- Use fuselage nose jacks only in manifolded pairs. Do not manifold any jacks except fuselage nose jacks.
- Do not attempt to jack the aircraft by inflating the main landing gear shock struts.
- Ensure that the nose gear upper and lower torque arms (scissors) are connected prior to jacking.
- Do not extend the wing jack ram screw beyond 15 inches maximum, and the fuselage ram screw beyond 18 inches maximum.
- Maintain communications among the director, plumb bob observer, and personnel jacking the aircraft.
- Place caution signs on the ground at the nose, wing tips, and tail of the aircraft. String a safety line around the aircraft.
- Ensure all ground support equipment is clear of aircraft.
- Only jacking team members are allowed within the safety lines while aircraft is being jacked.
- Only personnel assigned to work on the aircraft discrepancies are permitted on aircraft or within the safety lines while aircraft is on jacks.
- Do not jack the aircraft when the cargo ramp is resting on the ground.
- Do not jack the aircraft unless the base of the jack is on a firm level surface.
- Do not jack the aircraft in winds that exceed 45 mph.
- Prior to lowering the aircraft, ensure that the nose gear safety pin is installed and the lower shock strut barrels have been wiped down with hydraulic fluid.
101.8 Discuss the safety precautions to be observed for an open fuel cell.
- No one will be allowed in the fuel cell, unless they are actively enrolled in the squadron Fuel Cell Maintenance Program.
- All open fuel cells must be certified gas free by an Gas Free Engineer, GFE, before any maintenance is done in the fuel cell. A GFE makes sure that it is safe for personnel to enter and/or work in closed or poorly ventilated spaces. The GFE makes sure that all necessary measures have been taken to eliminate the risk of fire, explosion, exposure to toxic substances, suffocation and/or asphysiation.
101.9 Discuss the safety hazards involved with hydraulic fluid under pressure.
1. Burns from the hot, high pressure fluid
2. Cuts and abrasions from flailing hydraulic lines and
3. The injection of fluid into the skin. A leak may cause an invisible mist, which is toxic when ingested.
102.1 State the purpose of the squadron Planning Board For Training (PBFT).
102.2 Define and explain the following terms:
Designed to define and standardize training for on the job training, (OJT) awardable Navy Enlisted Classifications, (NEC's).
Examples would be the RJQR for Plane Captain, C-130 Loadmaster, and APU Operator.
b. RSTARS: Reserve Standard Training Administration and Readiness Support
RSTARS is the automated data entry system for drill reporting, personnel data, billet assignments, and mobilization tracking. It provides management information system support to the training functions performed by the Naval Reserve.
Aviation Training Improvement Program (ATIP)-
Now no longer mandatory, type commanders will coordinate with type wings and Aviation Intermediate Maintenance Departments to tailor specific program requirements to unit needs. This enables specific aircraft types to reduce workload and streamline the delivery of training.
Job Qualification Requirements (JQR)-
Designed to guide personnel through the training process, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a qualification. Loadmaster, Plane Captain, APU Operator are examples of a JQR. No different from an RJQR.
Formal Professional Mobilization Training-
PMT is formal training which is designed to help the member achieve and maintain his assigned mobilization billet qualification using Aviation Training Series courseware
102.4 State the purpose of the following:
Specifically defined behavioral skills, used by aircrew, through out the Navy and Marine Corps aviation training syllabus. Formerly as ACT, or Aircrew Coordination Training.
These behaviors include:
- Decision Making
- Aggressiveness
- Mission Analysis
- Communications
- Leadership
- Adaptability/Flexibility
- Situational Awareness
b. Operational Risk Management (ORM):
A decision making process used to identify and manage hazards that endanger naval resources before they actually happen.
ORM does not aim to eliminate risk but to manage risk so that the mission can be accomplished with the minimum amount of loss. Military personnel, have a responsibility at every level to identify hazards, take measures to reduce the associated risk, and accept risk only when the benefits of the operation exceed the accepted risk.
102.5 Discuss the following as they apply to mission readiness:
Crewmembers shall be provided a crew rest period beginning 12 hours prior to reporting for a mission.
b. Crew duty:
Crew duty begins at preflight show time (normally 2 hours prior to departure) and ends upon landing on the final flight leg of the day.
c. Crew currency:
Enlisted aircrew must fly 3 flight evolutions (preflight to postflight) per fiscal year quarter.
Officers must fly a combination of landings and flight hours per month. This includes one of the following:
1. Five hours flying, 2 landings, and 2 approachs to the field.
2. A NATOPS evaluation (checkride) flight
3. Flying in a simulator
4. Flying on a training flight with an instructor that includes 2 approaches, 2 landings, and a simulated loss of engine on takeoff or touch and go landing.
The mission of this aircraft is to provide rapid transportation of personnel or cargo for delivery by parachute or landing. The aircraft can be used for tactical transports and can be converted readily for ambulance or aerial delivery missions.
The aircraft can land and take off on short runways and can be used on landing strips such as those found in advance base operation.
Advance base operations are air strips found "in advance", or forward, of a base. These can include grass, dirt, or unpaved landing strips or runways.
103.2 Discuss the responsibilities of the following aircrew positions:
Shall be in command of the aircraft and is responsible for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.
b. Co-pilot:
