1. Purpose. To establish procedures for approved Terrain Flight Training Areas for all HELSEACOMBATWINGLANT (HSCWL) SH-60F/HH-60H aircraft in the Jacksonville Operating Area. A copy of this instruction shall be kept in each squadron’s ashore SDO binder.

2. Cancellation. COMHSWINGLANTINST 3710.7D is hereby superceded.

3. Scope Scope . Terrain flight (TERF) is the employment of aircraft flight profiles to use terrain, vegetation, and man-made objects to enhance survivability by degrading the enemy's ability to visually, optically, aurally, and electronically acquire and target the aircraft. It involves a constant awareness of the positions and capabilities of enemy weapon and acquisition systems in relation to the route of flight and terrain. TERF encompasses those tactical flights in which the intent is to fly at or below 200 feet AGL using low-level, contour, and nap-of-the-earth (NOE) technique.

To accomplish TERF training in the Jacksonville Operating Area, HSCWL aircraft are authorized to use Palatka Target Complex on a 24-hour basis, Camp Blanding training complex as scheduled and OLF Whitehouse during scheduled hours in accordance with NAS Jacksonville Base Operations.

45. Procedures

a. Low Level Helicopter Training Routes/Terrain Flight Training Areas.

(1) (1) All Low Level Training Routes will be flow in accordance with reference (a).

Low level helicopter training routes, established in reference (a), comply with maximum noise abatement and environmental impact criteria and have been coordinated with the FAA. Route width is 1 mile either side of centerline. All routes may be flown either direction during day operations only. Night procedures are outlined in paragraph 5.a.2.b. Terrain flight training shall be conducted at the following approved training areas: Palatka Target Complex (R-2906/R-2910), OLF Whitehouse, Camp Blanding Joint Training Complex and Fernandina Beach Airport. Altitudes/Airspeeds shall be maintained at all times per paragraph 5.a.2 of this instruction. Squadrons will be careful to avoid obstructions, population concentrations and airport traffic areas.

(2) Altitude/Airspeed Restrictions. Minimum altitude and maximum airspeed limits during Terrain Training Flights shall be as specified in the applicable NATOPS Flight Manual or COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Clearance and absolutely no lower or faster than indicated below:

(aa) VFR navigation off low-level navigation routes

Day or Night: 500 feet AGL/Airspeed varies

(b) Established low-level helicopter training routes

Page 3: 3710.7e Terf Training Areas Draft

(1) Day:Flight may be conducted no lower than 250 200 feet AGL as long as the following criteria are met:either direction

Night: Flight at night may be accomplished at 300 feet AGL while flying routes in ascending order only (e.g. spider points 1 thru 8 / Blue 1 to Blue 2) and the following additional safeguards in place:

- Operating GPSOperable GPS (If flying in formation,

at least one aircraft have operable GPS)- Routes flown in ascending order - Chart or moving map chummed with current month’s

PFPS eE-CHUMchum- A daytime hazard check has been conducted within 14

30 days of the flight (HSCWL will maintain master tracker of dates flown, new hazards, etc)

(2) Note: Note Fflights may be flown in descending reverse order (e.g. spider routes points 8 thru 1) but only at 500 ft AGL. (3) Note: Upon completion of daily flight schedule, SDO’s Squadron Duty Officers shall email routes flown to HSCWL schedules OfficerOperations.

(4) Note: If route has not been daytime hazard-checked within 14 30 days prior to flight, or any of the other above requirements have not been met; it shall be flown no lower than 500 ft AGL during night operations.

(5) Note: Great care shall be taken to avoid flight over areas of the general population. Aircraft shall deviate flight path or elevate whenever neighborhoods and/or single houses are encountered on the route of flight.

Page 4: 3710.7e Terf Training Areas Draft

(6) Note: Squadron SDOs Duty Officers should contact other squadrons for route and/or altitude de-confliction prior to flight. Further altitude de-confliction shall be coordinated ‘real-time’ on CSAR common (268.9) once contact is gained with other helicopter(s) flying same route.

(c) Contour flight at terrain flight training areas:

100 feet above highest obstacle/Airspeed varies. (d) Published Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE) navigation at terrain flight training areas:

Groundspeed no faster than height above ground with exception of dashes in open areas up to 30 feet AGL/70KGS.

(3) Aircraft lighting shall be per OPNAV Instruction 3710.7(seriesreference (g) requirements and formation integrity is maintained with single ship lighting turned on. Deviations from applicable instructions within the restricted airspace to include “Lights Out” training may be conducted only in established training areas with only ONE one formation operating in that area, and is at the discretion of mission Mission commanderCommander. Modified lighting configurations shall be pre-briefed and reported on CSAR common to any other aircraft in the vicinity.

(4) Aircraft transiting through or near any of the published CSAR low level training routes shall have the appropriate routes plotted in the MFD well before approaching any route.

(5) Any time aircraft cross over established routes, in addition to the appropriate external lighting, they will elevate to 700 500 feet approximately one mile prior to the route, have CSAR common frequency dialed in and announce the route and leg which they are crossing.

(6) HSMWINGLANT squadron aircraft fly published HSM low-level routes, which do not correspond with HSC low-level routes. HSM aircraft fly their routes only during the day, from either direction, at 200 FT AGL and make all route calls on CSAR Common (268.9). HSM routes are plotted on the Wing Master Hazard Chart maintained at HSCWSL Det DET JAXax.

(7) HSCWSSL DET JAX Det Jax will maintain the Jacksonville Area Master Hazard Chart. The chart will be updated monthly with Electronic Chart Updating Manual (E-CHUM) information provided by PFPS and any additional information discovered during flight operations. Each squadron shall maintain their own copy of the Master Hazard Chart that shall be updated with the same

(1) Communications. Helicopters enroute to Palatka MOA(s) VFR shall alert SEALORD no later than 5 minutes prior to MOA penetration on 357.0 or back-up frequency 134.65 to effect/confirm airspace activation. SEALORD will clear VFR aircraft into the Palatka Target Complex (R-2906/R-2907A/B/R-2910), advise the aircraft of altitude ceilings, assign squawk (51xx block), and advise when to switch to Rodman/ Lake George / Pinecastle target frequency as necessary. Helicopters departing the Palatka Target Complex VFR must first check out with the target controller as necessary, then switch and notify SEALORD 5 minutes prior to completion of area usage. Helicopters will be advised to maintain VFR, squawk 1200 and contact JAX TREACON on 379.9 for flight following if desired. If helicopter squadrons have scheduled range(s) through FACSFACJAX during closed Palatka Range times on weekdays or weekends, contact SEALORD on 357.0 or back-up frequency 134.65 for assigned squawk and flight following while operating in the ranges. All HSCWL aircraft shall monitor “CSAR common” on frequency 268.9 MHZ for coordination between aircraft when training in these areas.

(2) Required brief. Prior to operating in R-2906/R-2910, aircrews shall familiarize themselves with the standard operating procedures provided in this instruction and references (d) and (e). When checking in with Range Control, pilots may be asked to “acknowledge Pinecastle/Rodman brief”. Acknowledgment of the brief indicates familiarity and ability to comply with all rules and procedures in effect in these areas. Responsibility for knowledge and compliance with all rules and procedures for R-2906/R-2910 rests with the HAC. HSCWSL will provide briefs for these training areas on as needed basis.

(3) Arrivals. All aircraft shall remain at or above 500’ AGL (unless established on an approved low-level route in accordance with para 2) until established in R-2906/R-2910. Additionally, aircrews shall be familiar with and avoid to the maximum extent possible, noise sensitive areas as reported by the local FAA representative and charted on the Jacksonville Area Wing Master Hazard Chart maintained by the HSCWL.

(4) Patterns. The first aircraft to arrive in the operating area(s) R-2906/R-2910 shall assume responsibility for the orientation of all traffic patterns. Prior to departure, the controlling aircraft shall ensure a positive control turnover with one of the other operating

Page 10: 3710.7e Terf Training Areas Draft

aircraft. When the other aircraft accepts control, the subject aircraft may depart the pattern.
