Q

What are the UH-60 Jump Commands?

A

1 - “GET READY” -4 min TOT or 1000’ AGL. All safety belts removed
2 - “CHECK STATIC LINES” -JM checks jumpers’ static lines from pack tray to anchor cable, stows excess
3 - “CHECK EQUIPMENT”
4 - “SOUND OFF FOR EQUIPMENT CHECK” -Jumper 1 gives JM thumbs up and verbal okay, all other jumpers follow
5 - “SIT IN THE DOOR” -30 sec TOT. All jumpers except 4 and 8 assume position in door. If jumpers already sitting in door, command is replaced with “30 SECONDS” time warning
6 - “STAND BY” -10 sec. All jumpers place hands on floor of aircraft and prepare to push out on JM’s command
7 - “GO” -JM gives verbal command and taps out jumpers numerically starting with 1. Upon exit of jumper 3, JM controls static line of jumper 4 as he moves into door and is tapped out. Likewise for jumper 8

Q

What are the CH-47 Jump Commands?

A

1 - “GET READY”-Given at six-minute warning from air crew
2 - “PORT SIDE PERSONNEL, STAND UP” -Port side personnel stand up and secure seats
3 - “STARBOARD SIDE PERSONNEL, STAND UP”-Starboard side personnel stand up and secure seats
!!!4!!! - “HOOK UP” -Odd numbered jumpers hook up, followed by even numbered jumpers, joining lines to create one continuous stick
5 - “CHECK STATIC LINES” -JM/Safety checks static lines
6 - “CHECK EQUIPMENT”
7 - “SOUND OFF FOR EQUIPMENT CHECK”
8 - “STAND BY” -No. 1 jumper moves up to center of ramp hinge of A/C
9- “GO” -Jumpers walk off port rear corner of ramp at 1 second intervals

17
Q

What are the Initial Outside Air Safety Checks?

A 
The JM bends forward to the elbow locked position while keeping both heels flat on the floor of the cargo compartment and visually conducts a down and behind safety check to include above and below the aircraft:
–Direction of flight
–Overhead
–Rear
–Straight down
–Straight to the front
–Direction of Flight
18
Q

Where does the Jumpmaster’s trail foot remain while at rest?

A

On the platform.

19
Q

When does Jumpmaster issue the 8th Command?

A

•After final outside safety checks, and about 10 seconds from the release point the JM issues the 8th command “stand by”

20
Q

What actions in A/C does Jumpmaster take when conducting CARP, VIRS, and GMRS?

A

When jumping CARP or VIRS, the JM has “NO” responsibility to “IDENTIFY” the DZ. When jumping GMRS, the JM must spot the ground markings from the left side (PORT) of the aircraft, air to ground communications are not necessary. During SOF GMRS Airborne operations the safety will receive the first parachutist’s USLM with his lead hand and secures it with his trail hand by pinning against the aft anchor line support.

21
Q

What actions are taken for a Jump Refusal?

A
  1. The JM tells the jumper GREEN LIGHT GO, GREEN LIGHT GO, GREEN LIGHT GO.
  2. If the jumper does not exit, the JM tells the jumper YOU ARE A JUMP REFUSAL, I AM REMOVING YOU FROM THE PARATROOP DOOR.
  3. The JM or safety will approach from behind and grab the sides of the main parachute The JM or safety will never reach to the front of the parachutist or grab the back of the helmet.
  4. After the jump refusal is removed from the paratroop door, they are guided and seated on the ramp of the aircraft away from the paratroop
    door and directed to not touch their equipment.
  5. The JM team will then continue to exit jumpers if any green light remains. The safety will assist the U.S. Air Force personnel in retrieving all deployment bags and once the door is closed, they will move the jump refusal as far forward as possible inside the aircraft, buckle them in, unhook their USLM from the anchor line cable, and once again direct them not to touch any of their equipment.
22

    obstructions

    exceed 1 2/3 feet (20”), as measured from a wave crest and the preceding trough
31
Q

How do you determine drop altitude in Feet indicated?

A

MSL altitudes are measured from a standard datum,
which is roughly equal to the average altitude of the ocean. So, an aircraft traveling 1,000 feet directly above a mountain that’s 3,000 feet tall would have an altitude of 1,000 feet AGL and 4,000 feet MSL/FI.
- You must add 500’ to the drop altitude for non-standard aircraft if the DZ’s elevation is 5,000’ or higher

32
Q

What are the VIRS marking requirements?

A
  • Far panel 500m from PI (base panel)

- Flanker panel 200m from PI (base panel)

33
Q

What are the SAT requirements?

A
  1. All USASOC jumpers will receive SAT within a
    24-hour period immediately prior to Station Time
    for any ABN operation.
  2. Under special circumstances the requirement to
    conduct SAT within 24-hours can be extended to
    within 48-hours by the first O-5 in the chain of
    command.
34
Q

What are the lengths of the USLM, 5” Extension USL, HPT lowering line, and Bite?

A
  • USLM = 15 ft.
  • 5” Extension USL = 5 ft.
  • HPT lowering line = 5 ft.
