A.2.b. Range Offshore
Single-engine Auxiliary aircraft maintain operations within 25 nautical miles of shore. When working with a surface facility, helicopter, or other asset with recovery capabilities, the shore is considered to extend to the location of the recovery asset. However, communications guard must be maintained with that asset for this exemption to apply, and in no case may a single-engine aircraft exceed 50 nautical miles from shore. Multi-engine Auxiliary aircraft normally do not proceed beyond 50 nautical miles from shore and must be meticulous about maintaining guard and regular position reports when operating over water and out of sight of land.
A.3. Night Operations
Any Auxiliary operational flight that includes flight at night or in IMC is required to have two pilots who hold current FAA instrument ratings.
Operational flights are defined as those that directly support Coast Guard operational missions or training for such missions. Each pilot’s instrument time and experience should be considered when assigning missions. Night is defined (by the FAA) as the period after civil twilight following sunset, and prior to civil twilight preceding sunrise.
A.4. Instrument Meteorological Conditions
IMC is defined by FAA regulations and occurs whenever the flight conditions are less than that required for VMC. VMC minima vary with the type of airspace in which the aircraft is flying. In all cases, however, VMC will require clearance from clouds and reasonable flight visibility.
A.5. Second or Safety Pilot
Under flight at night or in IMC, the second pilot is the safety pilot, who holds a current FAA instrument rating. The safety pilot may be:
. An Auxiliary pilot, current in category.
. A Civil Air Patrol pilot, current in category.
. An active duty Coast Guard pilot, in the same category of aircraft, with either a Coast Guard or FAA instrument rating in the category.
Section B. Flight Procedures
Introduction
Flight procedures are those relating to the movement of Auxiliary facilities and the operation of these aircraft while under orders. Coast Guard orders from an appropriate Coast Guard command are issued before any mission involving an Auxiliary facility. Once these orders have been received and the mission embarked upon, aircraft facilities are deemed to be Coast Guard aircraft and public vessels of the United States in accordance with the Auxiliary Operations Policy Manual, COMDTINST M16798.3 (series).
