Swift. Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Where are you pulling that from? CV Natops makes no such limitations on the positioning other than between 1NM and 20NM(10NM at night) of the boat and not within 150-190 relative bearing closer than 3NM and not within 340-020 relative bearing closer than 5NM. Altitudes of no higher than 400ft unless within 5NM of the port side (300ft ceiling) or within 10NM of the bow (200 ft ceiling). The exception to this is when recovering aircraft with FFO, whereby the plane guard shall not be within 5NM of the carrier from 360-090. 3 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2

There are plentiful references to Helo Plane Guards on the SB side. When I was researching for my own missions it literally took 10 seconds in google to find one (in this case a reference in an article called "The Quiet Killer" in Approach Magazine from 1988. So something Id consider authorative - "CV's plane guard helo, anchored in the Starboard Delta at 300ft..."). I assume that to be somethere between 1 and 3 NM off the the side of boat.

Add to it, that was a one bird launch with a clear deck. It could be Flight Deck Cert, a photo Op,etc! Everything people see on YouTube may not be what you they think it is! Please do not accept these video's as fact! DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry!
