13.4.1.7. Wireless Headset Procedures. Per MAJCOM instruction.
13.4.2. Passenger Missions:
13.4.2.1. Maximize seat availability on all missions.
13.4.2.1.1. Port personnel will calculate the maximum number of seats available
based on existing cargo compartment/Aircrew Flight Equipment configuration,
aircraft configuration time and ground time available for each mission leg. This
information will be calculated no later than 5 hours prior to takeoff time.
13.4.2.1.2. If an actual seat release is different than what the load plan or port
personnel indicate, aircrews will provide the port representative a reason for the
disparity. Annotate information in Mission Remarks of appropriate database(s).
13.4.2.1.3. The PIC or loadmasters will inform port personnel of any maintenance,
crew complement, or operational mission requirements that will negatively affect
number of seats available when port representatives conduct the cargo/passenger
upload briefing. Late takeoffs due to configuration changes will be reported as
Passenger Service/ reconfiguration for the reason on aircrew documentation.
13.4.2.2. Manifesting. Passenger service or airfield management personnel manifest
passengers at locations with an AMC passenger processing activity.
13.4.2.2.1. The PIC and loadmaster are responsible for ensuring all passengers are
properly manifested.
13.4.2.3. All passenger briefing(s) contained in Flight Manual(s)/checklist(s) will be
accomplished for any mission with passengers aboard regardless of passenger category
(i.e. DV, Duty passenger, Space Required passenger, Space available passenger, Mission
Essential Passenger, etc.) or manifest documenting method (passenger manifest, flight
orders, etc.)."
13.4.2.4. At locations without an AMC passenger processing activity it may be necessary
for crews to perform passenger service functions at stations that do not have this
capability. These functions include manifesting, anti-hijacking processing, and ensuring
visa/passport requirements are met. When the aircrew accomplishes manifesting, antihijack
processing is completed by the aircrew IAW AFI 13-207. Do not hesitate to
contact 618 AOC (TACC)/XOGX, Aerial Port Control Center (APCC); DSN 779-
0350/0355, commercial; 618-229-0350/0355, if any questions arise such as who may
travel to specific locations or pass-port/visa requirements. Aircraft operating within other
MAJCOMs which have operational C2 over that aircraft will contact the appropriate
AMOCC for specific details. File a copy of the DD Form 2131, Cargo/Passenger
Manifest, with the flight plan. If not filed with the flight plan, annotate the location of the
manifest on the flight plan IAW AFI 11-202V3.
13.4.2.5. Ensure the APU/GTC is shut down prior to boarding passengers unless
adequate ear protection is provided. A passenger service representative or crewmember
will assist passengers at the bottom of the steps/stairs, and the loadmaster will assist in
seating passengers. DVs, passengers requiring assistance, and families should be boarded
first to minimize separation. Make every effort to seat families together. Ensure that
only adult, English speaking, physically capable, and willing passengers are seated next
