Successful recovery operations require a highly coordinated effort between the owning organization, it's AVIM support, the ground element in whose area the recovery will take place, and any organization that may provide aircraft or vehicle assets to complete the recovery. Medium-lift helicopters will be required for heavier type aircraft aerial recoveries. Maintenance evacuation is the physical act of moving an aircraft from one maintenance location on the battlefield to another. Aircraft extracting personnel for example, UH Black Hawk should be cleared into the extraction site immediately after the area has been secured. Aircraft recovery and maintenance evacuation are closely related since, in each case, the aircraft must be rigged for lift by helicopter or rigged for lift by a crane device and secured aboard a ground vehicle.

It may prevent a situation where the aircraft would otherwise be destroyed in place to prevent capture or compromise by the enemy. It is also a 3-04513 point or points selected along identifiable terrain in an Engagement Area EA used to mass fires at a predetermined range. Information on crew and passenger condition to determine their 3-40.513 to assist in repairing the damage.
Refer to FM Maintenance evacuation is the physical act of moving an aircraft from one maintenance location on the battlefield to another.
Planning a surface recovery follows these logical steps: A DART may perform any of the following actions: The airspeeds stated in this manual are airspeeds at which particular loads have demonstrated stability in flight.
During combat operations, situations arise that make expediting normal maintenance procedures imperative.

Determine the equipment and transportation needed to recover it. It can be used when weather conditions prohibit flight.
All will be trained to prepare aircraft for recovery. Minefields and actions to minimize the danger of booby-traps in downed aircraft. In actual practice, the procedures outlined might be modified or augmented to account for the size of the force; availability of aerial and ground assets; manpower, time and distance considerations; and above all, the tactical situation.
The concept includes the safe return of damaged aircraft to a safe location and eventually to battle as soon as possible.
At times dictated by local circumstances, one team may function as both the BDAR team and the recovery team, performing both functions. Also, a significant amount of aircraft disassembly or modification is often required to adapt the aircraft to surface travel; for example, the shortening of height dimensions to accommodate overhead road clearances or the fabricating of extensions for trailers because the aircraft wheelbase is too wide.
Modern air defense threats may make aerial recovery in forward areas of the battlefield an impractical or unacceptably high risk. CSAR is the successful extraction of a downed aircrew and evacuation of the aircrew either to appropriate medical care or back to the unit. An assessor is one who can assess aircraft battle damage.
Night recovery operations increase hazards and the need for security. Depending on the status of aircraft communications, the following items or any other pertinent information will be obtained from the pilot or aircraft operator: Often, such return-to-battle repairs will be temporary, necessitating future permanent follow-up actions when the tactical situation permits.
Battlefield Recovery & Evacuation of Aircraft
For example, the unit SOP may specify a radio frequency to be used, a color of light or smoke to be used for recognition, and the fmm aircraft in the flight may be designated as the maintenance aircraft. When an aircraft is forced down, the aircraft commander, or one of his crew, will use the aircraft radio if operable and the tactical situation permits to notify the parent AVUM commander of the problem and request DART assistance.
An assessor can be one or a combination of the following: Evacuation is to effect repair, cross-level maintenance workloads, or relieve units of disabled aircraft during tactical moves.
Then expand these steps to include characteristics of the recovery site and special tactical considerations, for example: Ground routes must mf accessible, and meticulous reconnaissance of the route is required.
Combat area maintenance serviceability and deferability criteria. The ability to determine rapidly that a one-time evacuation mission is feasible or that a quick-fix repair is possible is important. Cannibalization techniques that permit quick, efficient removal of critical components and structures from unrepairable and nonrecoverable aircraft. Information provided by air traffic controllers.
The possibility exists for complete loss 3-40.513 aircraft through failure of recovery equipment. Destroy, or take part in the destruction of, a disabled aircraft that is to be abandoned according to TM The team chief ensures that appropriate rigging and recovery equipment is kept ready for quick-notice recovery missions.
