The publication covers end-of-runway inspections, arm/de-arm procedures, and hung munitions procedures. It requires inspections, safe handling, ground emergency declarations, and coordination among maintenance, weapons, aircrew, and EOD personnel.
Applies to: This publication applies to all organizations on Minot AFB that launch or recover explosives-loaded aircraft.
Upon landing, all sorties that carry munitions, regardless of indications (i.e., released, retained, or hung), will be inspected at the end of the runway.
Weapons loading personnel will meet the aircraft at the assigned parking location and pin all munitions prior to towing or applying external power to the aircraft.
If hung ordnances are present, do not park aircraft in Explosive Clear Zone on the Delta Hammerhead.
The Weapons Expediter will be the on-scene supervisor for munitions operations and be the sole authority for declaring munitions safe.
If munitions cannot be declared safe, the aircrew will shut down engines and egress the aircraft.
