4
total weight without additional restraint applied to the BSA
26,650 lbs
how do you maximize the weight restriction of the BSA
by adding 6, 10,000 lbs chains
is the alternate forward barrier considered forward restraint
no the alternate forward barrier is intended to keep the load from rolling forward during a malfunction and is not to be considered forward restraint
when can an alternate forward barrier be used in the place of a BSA
whenever the combined rigged weight does not exceed 5,000 lbs

during a combination drop what is the maximum number of parachutist
20
during combinations AD how far back can the jumpers line up
jumpers may line up with the cargo not to exceed FS 700 or the alternate forward barrier, whichever is further forward
how should CDS bundles be rigged when conducting combination AD
CDS should be rigged for breakaway
can jumpers exit on the same side as the bundles
no jumpers must exit on the opposite side
without CVR how should the bundles be placed
aft edge of the bundle should be forward of the pulley by no more than 40in. when using FS 430 aft edge of the bundle should be approximately 6in aft of the pulley location
with CVR how should the bundles be placed
aft edge of the bundle should be at least 12in aft of the pulley location
which way will the pin face on the G-14 clevis when attached to the anchor cable
inboard
What advantage is gained by using the cvr
The cvr provides vertical restraint without the need of straps
