inform JM if PI falls within...
150 yards of DZ edge JM is approval authority
35
how to compute door bundle CARP when dropped with personnel?
COMBO drop compute CARP for first parachutist exiting after the bundle additional CARP for the door bundle --MC can be used to determine a CARP for door bundles (the same as CDS) by using the door exit option on the AD COMBO pg
