Joint Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Shipboard Helicopter Operations

Abstract

This publication provides operating and aviation ordnance procedures required to plan and conduct shipboard helicopter operations and places emphasis on single-ship, single- helicopter independent operations. The publication is written to reflect: routine operations for the deployment of joint force helicopters on board US Navy (USN) and US Coast Guard (USCG) ships. This is generally the result of careful presail planning, but does not preclude crisis response, surge requirements, or warfighting execution. This publication describes shipboard helicopter operational procedures for both embarked and transient aircraft and aviation detachments. Some of the terminology, regulations, and routine I encountered aboard ship reflect naval traditions and contribute to efficient and safe operations.
