Prelaunch procedures shall include exchange of air plans and acknowledgment by the LHA/LHD prior to any aircraft operations within how many nautical miles of the LHA/LHD?

Prelaunch procedures hinge on coordinating air activities with the ship’s operations, establishing a clear and shared airspace picture before any aircraft fly near the ship. Exchanging air plans and getting acknowledgment from the LHA/LHD within ten nautical miles gives both sides time to confirm routes, altitudes, frequencies, and expected times, and to sequence handling and deck operations safely. This buffer helps prevent conflicts with other traffic and ensures precise timing for recoveries and departures. A smaller radius wouldn’t leave enough planning and deconfliction time, while a larger one isn’t the standard practice for normal operations.
