What is the CV NATOPS Manual (NA 00-80T-105) used for?

• A. Owner/operator's manual for aircraft carrier flight deck operations
• B. Maintenance manual for CV flight control
• C. Aircraft performance data
• D. Flight crew procedures manual

Answer: (A)

NATOPS manuals establish standardized procedures to keep flight operations safe. The CV NATOPS Manual is the owner/operator guide for shipboard flight deck operations on an aircraft carrier. It covers how launches and recoveries are conducted, how deck control and signaling work, fueling and handling on the flight deck, and how emergencies are managed. It isn’t a maintenance manual or a generic aircraft performance data book, nor is it a specific aircrew procedures manual for a particular aircraft; instead, it defines the ship-specific operating procedures and safety requirements that all carrier personnel follow during flight operations.
