**Except when you are in 1 x C-130J with GPS “ON” or any number of C-17s with GPS “ON”. In either scenario you will always add 100 yds to the length. **
CARP:
ALTITUDE
For every full 100 ft increment above the planning altitude, add 30 yds to the width and length of the DZ
CARP:
NOT IN TRAIL
C-130 (PE or HE): add 100 yds (one time only)
C-17 (HE): add 100 yds (one time only)
C-17 (PE):
2 ships: add 640 yds
3 ships: add 1200 yds
There cannot be more than three C-17s in a formation.
This is only applicable to using center PI.
C-17s CANNOT fly in trail while dropping personnel because of the wake turbulence from the trail aircraft that would invert or collapse the jumpers canopy.
Refers to formations made up of multiple aircraft not flying in trail
Only affects the width of the DZ
CARP:
ADDITIONAL
PE: Add 75 yds to length for each additional jumper
HE (C-130): add 400 yds to length for each additional platform
HE (C-17): add 500 yds to length for each additional platform
Refers to all suspended items (except the first) that will exit on one pass
Only affects the length of the DZ
CARP:
SKE
When used, add 400 yards to the width one time and one time only.
SKE is a function of the Instrumental Navigation System (INS) which keeps the aircrafts properly separated from one another.
SKE can be “switched” on or off by the pilots.
When using SKE you will compare it with what is written in the Not In Trail factor. Whichever is larger will stay in the equation; the smaller one will be deleted. This is because the smaller one can be included into the calculation of the larger.
INTERVAL BETWEEN JUMPERS AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT
There must be a 3 second interval between jumpers and heavy equipment or CDS.
Only Over the Ramp operations can support both CDS/HE and jumpers together.
