1. Personnel airdrops may be performed with only one troop door configured for airdrop
with user concurrence.
2. Will not exceed 80" within 12" either side of retriever cable. Height of cargo outside of
the 12" left and right (total 24") may exceed the 80" height limitation, but will not
interfere with overhead rigging equipment.
3. CDS and heavy equipment configuration. A maximum of three rows of canvas seats
may be used. The remaining vacant row serves as a safety aisle. All sidewall seats will be
raised or stowed in the wheel-well area when airland pallets and vehicles are located
within this area and exceed 96" width.
19.5. Verification of Load Information. The navigator will verify the actual number and type
of parachutes, load weights, sequence of extraction, and position of loads in the aircraft agree
with planned CARP data. If an individual load has a different type or number of parachutes from
other loads, compute a CARP for each load to ensure all loads will land on the DZ. Base drop
altitude on the item requiring the highest drop altitude.
19.6. Marking Airdrop Loads. For training missions (e.g. unilateral, exercise, or JA/ATT) the
navigator will mark all equipment and standard airdrop training bundles with the aircraft call
sign and date. If more than one load is dropped on the same pass, mark loads with order of exit
from aircraft. Markings will be placed on the extracted end of the load, and also between the
extraction parachute and attachment to the floor. EXCEPTION: If more than one CDS bundle
is dropped on the same pass, mark only the first container out.
19.7. DZ Markings. Plan and coordinate DZ markings according to AFI 13-217.
