304 – CATOBAR – Recovery – CASE II

Case II is the common recovery procedure at daytime if visibility conditions are poor. It can be viewed as hybrid between Case I and III. The holding pattern is very similar to that of the Case III recovery with the difference the the radial is the inverse of the BRC instead of the FB. From the holding zone aircraft are follow the Case III path until they reach the Initial position 3 NM astern the boat. From there a standard Case I recovery procedure is in place.
