CHAPTER 5 ASSOCIATED LAUNCHING EQUIPMENT The associated launching equipment discussed in this chapter is used in conjunction with catapults and arresting gear. This equipment includes the jet blast deflectors and nose gear launch equipment. Upon completing this chapter you should be able to do the following: Identify procedures for operating jet blast deflectors (JBDs) for normal and for emergency operations. Describe the bulletins used in launching operations. • Describe the operation and function of the Mk 2 nose gear launch system. JET BLAST DEFLECTORS There are two basic types of jet blast deflectors (JBDs) in use in the fleet. They are the Mk 6 and the newer Mk 7. See table 5-1. The purpose of all JBDs is to protect personnel, equipment, and other aircraft from the hot exhaust gases coming from the aircraft that is about to be launched from a catapult (see fig. 5-1).
