OKINAWA, Japan  -- A CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter pilot with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-262 Reinforced, currently attached to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepares to take of from here during field carrier landing June 2. Pilots have to do five shore-based landings, five ship landings and five landings both in high-light level or low-light conditions to obtain carrier qualification, which authorizes them to carrying troops and cargo.
