The publication requires specific arrangements for canvas seats, sidewall seats, and vacant safety aisles when airland pallets and vehicles are present. It also addresses load verification, airdrop marking, drop-zone markings, and protective equipment during airdrops.
Applies to: This manual applies to all civilian employees and uniformed members of the Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard who operate or maintain C-130H aircraft.
A maximum of three rows of canvas seats may be used.
The remaining vacant row serves as a safety aisle.
All sidewall seats will be raised or stowed in the wheel-well area when airland pallets and vehicles are located within this area and exceed 96 inches width.
The navigator will verify the actual number and type of parachutes, load weights, sequence of extraction, and position or loads in the aircraft agree with planned CARP data.
If an individual load has a different type or number of parachutes from other loads, compute a CARP for each load to ensure all loads land on the DZ.
