Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) Practice Exam

All V-22 vertical launch/recovery operations shall occur from which two inboard spots?

1,2 4,7 6,9 5,8

Correct Answer:

6,9

Explanation:

V-22 vertical launch and recovery are restricted to the two inner deck positions closest to the centerline. Placing the aircraft there keeps rotor downwash contained away from the flight deck edges and nearby equipment, provides a clear, predictable approach path, and avoids interference with elevators, catwalks, and other deck operations. Using outer spots would place the downwash closer to the deck edge and deck hardware, increasing hazards to personnel and gear. So, the two inboard spots provide the safest, most efficient vertical operations on the carrier deck.
