Referred to as the “edge of the envelope,” carrier flight operations involve the most extreme working conditions in a highly dynamic environment. The extremes of operations at sea as opposed to ashore include sustained high operations tempo, reduced choice for airfield selection and suitable diverts, and statistically a more complex and hazardous environment. Safety and teamwork are essential elements contributing to mishap free and successful carrier operations. A thorough understanding of the procedures and practices is necessary for success when flying and operating in, on, and around the boat.
