should be sensitive to the first indication of a stall and reduce bank and or lower nose to
decrease angle of attack and eliminate the stall indication. Any power reduction will increase
the stall speed. The tradeoff in selecting a landing site, straight ahead or one requiring a turn
is a function of the rate of descent the required airspeed will produce. The higher the
airspeed, the faster the aircraft will likely descend. A forced landing straight ahead will
produce the lowest allowable airspeed, least rate of descent and most desirable impact forces.
Any turn will decrease the time before impact. However, the risks associated with turning
may be mitigated by the terrain the aircraft will impact such as forest or built up areas.
19.40.3. Upon landing, ensure the load and airdrop system is not tampered with until after
the malfunction is investigated by tactics/standardization and evaluation personnel.
19.41. CDS Emergency Procedures. WARNING: When notified of a malfunction, extend
additional flaps and lower the nose to maintain a slight nose down attitude until the ramp and
door are closed and the load is secured. Maintain drop airspeed and AGL altitude (if possible)
and avoid flying over or upwind of water or built up areas.
19.41.1. If a malfunction is due to a failure of the static-line retriever or CDS remote timer
system, the mission may be continued provided the 80 lb tie on the knife did not break, and
the knife did not nick the gate. Use the opposite static line retriever and manually activate the
retriever switch at FS 245 for three seconds or perform a manual gate cut. The DD 1748-2 is
not required, but a write-up in the AFTO 781A is required.
19.42. High Altitude Emergency Procedures. If a physiological incident occurs, the PIC will:
19.42.1. Abort the mission.
19.42.2. Begin descent (pressurization and descent will be determined by the type and
degree of sickness or pain).
19.42.3. Ensure the affected person remains on 100 percent oxygen until a medical doctor
determines the type of treatment required.
19.42.4. Proceed to the nearest base with qualified medical assistance available.
19.42.5. Advise the control tower of the emergency and request an ambulance meet the
aircraft.
19.42.6. Advise attending physician to call USAF Hyperbaric Medicine Division; during
duty hours call DSN 554-3483 or (210) 292-3483 and after duty hours call DSN 554-5990 or
(210) 292-5990. For out of area medical assistance, call the Divers Alert Network (DAN) at
1-800-446-2671.
