13.3.1. All passenger hand carried items must be of a size to fit under the seat and must not
obstruct the safety aisle(s). Any items that do not fit under a seat, or obstruct an aisle way
will be stowed with checked baggage and secured for flight.
13.4. Pre-Mission Duties.
13.4.1. Cargo Missions. See paragraph 12.4.1 for Concurrent Servicing guidelines.
13.4.1.1. The loadmaster will coordinate with aerial port personnel to establish loading
times. Loading times that differ from the normal pre-departure sequence of events will
be established, with PIC coordination, before the loadmaster enters crew rest. Loading
time is governed by the type of load and complexity of loading procedures (bulk,
palletized, etc.) not by port saturation or management of aerial port workload levels.
When reporting for duty, the loadmaster checks in with the air terminal operations center
or other designated location to obtain load brief and assist in load planning as required.
13.4.1.2. Proper cargo documentation will accompany each load. A consolidated
statement (manifest) will be delivered to the aircraft prior to departure unless one is not
available due to a lack or failure of the manifest processing equipment. In this case, a
cargo listing or load plan with Transportation Control Numbers (TCN) will accompany
the load. NOTE: Computer generated load plans may be accepted for unilateral training
loads.
13.4.1.3. Tiedown equipment will be exchanged on a one-for-one basis. If this is not
possible, annotate the AF Form 4069, Tiedown Equipment Checklist. At non-AMC
stations, 463L pallets will normally be exchanged on a one-for-one basis.
13.4.1.4. Fleet Service Checklist.
13.4.1.4.1. Loadmasters will make every effort to ensure that the AF Form 4128,
Fleet Service Checklist, is signed by the fleet service representative and placed aboard
the aircraft prior to departure if this service is provided.
13.4.1.4.2. Annotate inventory changes in section III. Place item nomenclature,
increase/decrease amounts, station, date, and reason for change.
13.4.1.5. Duty/Preflight Loadmaster Operations. These Loadmaster duties provide
flexibility for operational requirements when units/crews are deployed on tactical,
contingency or exercise operations. Preflight/Duty Loadmaster(s) will receive crew rest
prior to assuming duty for preflight/loading operations. When assigned/scheduled to
perform duties, all necessary preflight checklists will be accomplished for the
assigned/scheduled mission for that aircraft. When sealing the aircraft after completion,
an info note will be entered in the AFTO Form 781A, indicating preflight
accomplishment, cargo compartment configuration and any additional information
deemed necessary for the oncoming primary Loadmaster(s). Primary aircrew
Loadmaster(s) will complete AFTER LOADING GENERAL Checklist and verify cargo
documentation is aboard the aircraft.
13.4.1.6. Ramp Coordinator (RAMPCO) Loadmaster Operations: This duty may be
utilized by Mission Commanders/mission execution cells for aircraft launch operations
when deemed necessary. Duties may include load planning, mission preparation, or
maintenance coordination for successful mission execution.
