Question 14

What does HERO susceptible ordnance mean?

Answer 14

If employed in an RF environment, system may malfunction Any ordnance containing Electronic Explosive Devices (EED) proven (by test or analysis) to be adversely affected by RF energy to the point that the safety and/or reliability of the system is in jeopardy when the system is employed in expected RF environments.

Question 15

What does HERO unsafe ordnance mean?

Answer 15

Internal wiring exposed to RF energy may result in accidental detonation When internal wiring is physically exposed on any ordnance item, including those having a classification of HERO SAFE or HERO SUSCEPTIBLE ORDNANCE, to an RF environment that may cause accidental initiation or detonation, the item is defined as HERO UNSAFE ORDNANCE; when tests are being conducted on the item that result in additional electrical connections to the item; when EEDs having exposed wire leads are present, handled, or loaded in any but the tested condition; when the item is being assembled or disassembled; or when such ordnance items are damaged, causing exposure of internal wiring or components or destroying engineered HERO protective devices.

Question 25

Note regarding when the requirement for six people during towing operations may be waived

Answer 25

Well clear of obstacles Established on centerline (taxiway or runway) Minimum crew is aircraft director, breakrider, and tractor operator The requirement for six people during towing operations may be waived once the aircraft is well clear of obstructions and established on the centerline of a designated taxiway or runway.
