16.4.4.9.4. Altitudes.
16.4.4.9.5. IFR Drop Corridor Ingress and Egress points of the route segment
expressed in radial and DME from a VORTAC.
16.4.5. Navigation Chart Preparation. Mission planners will construct a master chart for
mission briefings and aircrew reference. Planners should construct the chart using
computerized mission planning systems if available. MPD/Copilot and navigator
crewmembers will use individual tactical navigation route charts for each mission. Low-level
navigation charts will be annotated with any added, deleted, or changed information in the
most recent CHUM or supplement. In no case will CHUM coverage be less than 22 NMs
either side of the entire planned route of flight. Crews may trim charts to no less than 10
NMs after establishing the ESA. Color copies, if available, of a master chart reduce the
probability of missing or misplotted data on aircrew charts.
16.4.5.1. Chart Annotation. Annotate the master chart with the applicable Chapter 11
and AFTTP 3-3.C-130E/H requirements. Refer to AFTTP 3-3.C-130E/H and AFPAM
11-216 for detailed chart annotation symbology. An individual‘s chart annotations will
have as a minimum: turn points, IP, DZ, course line, course data, CHUM data and date,
ESA and chart series/date.
16.4.6. Mission Forms and Logs.
16.4.6.1. AF IMT 4053, INS Flight Plan and Log. An AF IMT 4053 should be used
when planning tactical low level missions. A MAJCOM approved computer generated
flight plan may be used in lieu of the AF IMT 4053.
16.4.6.2. AF IMT 4051, Low Level Flight Plan and Log. Pilots will complete and use
either an AF IMT 4051 or AF IMT 70 for all low-level airdrop/airland missions. A log or
stick diagram containing the same information or an aircrew flimsy page containing this
information may be substituted for the AF IMT 4051/AF IMT 70.
16.4.6.3. AF IMT 4062, C-130 Run-in/Drop Information Card. Navigators/engineers
will use the AF IMT 4062 to annotate pertinent information during all tactical airdrop
missions.
16.4.7. Route Study. Crew route study is mandatory before accomplishing flight in the low
level environment. Special emphasis should be placed on the run-in and objective area for
the locations of visual and radar features that will assist in proper identification.
16.4.7.1. Drop Zone Safety Boxes. Drop Zone safety boxes will be identified and
briefed for all airdrops to include both SCNS tolerances and visual references for the
lateral and longitudinal boundaries. Safety box construction will be validated by a pilot
or another navigator.
16.5. Briefings.
16.5.1. Mission Briefings. The aircraft commander is responsible for ensuring all
crewmembers are briefed on applicable mission items. The standard mission briefings can be
found in AFTTP 3-3.C-130E/H.
16.5.2. Mission Debriefings. Hold immediately after the mission. The standard mission
debriefing can found in AFTTP 3-3.C-130E/H.
