6.49. Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR). If involved in a mishap or incident, after landing and
terminating the emergency, pull the CVR and FDR power circuit breakers. This procedure keeps
the CVR from recording over itself and retains the FDR data. NOTE: Some series of the C-130
also contain the FLT/VOICE RECORDER – INHIBIT circuit breaker. If this circuit breaker is
pulled, the CVR and FDR will continue operating with external AC power applied to the aircraft.
6.50. Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) and Dash 21 Equipment Documentation. The PIC
or designated representative will:
6.50.1. Before departing home station or enroute stations, ensure appropriate serviceable
protective clothing, aircrew flight equipment, survival, and Dash 21 equipment for the entire
or remainder of the mission are aboard the aircraft.
6.50.1.1. Restricted Aircraft AFE Configuration. Configure IAW AFI 11-2C-130V3
Addenda A.
6.50.2. Before departing home station and following enroute crew changes, review AF Form
4076, Aircraft Dash 21 Equipment Inventory, to ensure all required Dash 21 equipment has
been certified as installed by maintenance, the initial check has been signed by maintenance,
and configuration documents match mission requirements.
6.50.3. Before departing home station and following enroute crew changes, review, sign, and
date the AFTO Form 46, Prepositioned Aircrew Flight Equipment, to ensure all required
protective clothing and aircrew flight equipment and survival equipment have been certified
as installed by Aircrew Flight Equipment personnel and that configuration documents match
mission requirements. Ensure appropriate number and type of life preservers are aboard for
over-water missions carrying children and infants.
6.50.3.1. Anti-Exposure Suits. IAW Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 135
Section 135.98, Operation in the Polar Area and FAR Part 121, Appendix P,
Requirements for ETOPS and Polar Operations, place at least two anti-exposure suits
onboard aircraft for missions operating above 78 degrees North latitude and below 60
degrees South latitude.
6.50.4. Missing Equipment. Aircrew members discovering equipment missing will
accomplish the following:
6.50.4.1. Make an AFTO Form 781A entry for equipment found missing. Additionally,
ensure equipment removed from the aircraft at an enroute station is documented in the
AFTO Form 781A.
6.50.4.2. Annotate AF Form 4076 and AFTO Form 46 in the next vacant column
indicating the quantity remaining for the item. Ensure the ICAO location designator is
entered above the check number of that column. Leave AF Form 4076 and AFTO Form
46 on board the aircraft in the event of an enroute crew change.
6.50.4.3. Advise the PIC and determine whether the missing equipment should be
recovered or replaced before mission continuation.
6.50.4.4. Assist, as required, in preparing reports of survey for missing equipment.
