28
Q

are personnel drops from troop doors allowed with cargo door and ramp open?

A

NO

29
Q

are airdrops of personnel off the cargo ramp utilizing static line deployed parachutes?

A

NO

30
Q

long anchor cable limited to how many static lines?

A

30

31
Q

where are door bundles dropped from?

A

troop doors

32
Q

door bundle will not exceed

A

48 inches by 30 inches by 66 inches

33
Q

what procedures to use for door bundles?

A

normal personnel airdrop procedures

first object to exit the aircraft

34
Q

inform JM if PI falls within…

A

150 yards of DZ edge

JM is approval authority

35
Q

how to compute door bundle CARP when dropped with personnel?

A

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

36
Q

when do you release the door bundle?

A

at the personnel CARP

37
Q

when door bundle is the only object being dropped, base the release on the CARP for…?

A

the bundle

38

10 minutes prior

39
Q

A

6 minutes prior

40
Q

is FFS required for personal formation drop?

A

yes

41
Q

distance between ELs

A

32,000’

5 minute TOT spacing guarantees this and allows for +- 1 min TOT deviation

42
Q

How do wingmen echelon in relation to the wind?

A

into the wind

43
Q

When does lead signal the PI used for the drop and echelon direction?

A

prior to the pre-IP

44
Q

When does lead direct the formation to transition to personnel airdrop LTRK?

A

prior to the slowdown

45
Q

upon initiating the climb/descent to drop altitude, wingmen establish personnel…

A

SKE XTRK

46
Q

element wingmen should be established in echelon geometry NLT

A

1 minute prior to the drop

47
Q

how long of an escape should be planned?

A

60 seconds

48
Q

JM directed- be at drop altitude and airspeed normally…

A

2 minutes prior to green light

49
Q

JM directed- 2 minutes prior to scheduled drop time the LM permits the JM to-

A

begin spotting procedures

50
Q

JM directed- PM turns on the green light @

A

1 minute warning

51

A

static line-400’ AGL

MFF-2000’ AGL

54
Q

towed parachute procedures

A

PF maintains drop airspeed and min drop altitude for parachute type

avoid turning in the direction of the towed parachutist

first priorities the retrieve the parachutist

55

who makes the final decision to cut the parachutist free?

A

the AC

56
