The types of briefings the loadmaster is receiving or giving

A type of safety briefing the loadmaster gives to demonstrate emergency procedures, signals and equipment

A safety briefing Received in ATOC briefing. notified of any hazardous materials loaded aboard the aircraft. Sign a copy of the cargo manifest to indicate you have received the briefing.

advised of the type of cargo you will be carrying on a specific mission.

Air Terminal Operations Center

Commander coordinates with crew on the profile or the days mission. includes: destination, flying time, weather enroute threats, and review of emergency procedures.

Instructor briefs you what your role for the mission will be. Includes checklists you will run, what level of proficiency he/she expects you to be, and actions you need to take in the event of an emergency.

Commander briefs air crews on the profile for a multi aircraft mission.

two or more loadmasters will coordinate individual tasks and checklists each will accomplish during the mission.

Includes a review of qualification levels. (Q1,Q2,Q3) and special emphasis items that they may emphasize.

Given by the Loadmaster to the Aircraft commander. summary of cargo, nature of any hazardous material, whether or not the material may be jettisoned, and weight and balance info.

something essential to emphasize

To protect floor of aircraft from cargos' gripping devices such as cleats studs and tracks. It is either made of either wood in a layer or layers which protect the aircraft by distributing the weight of the cargo over a larger area.

What cargo rests on during flight

Keeps the bouncing action of cargo to a minimum. Built by stacking the layers to the height needed and placed under the vehicle's frame.

Spreads the weight out two separate areas that can handle the load. Has two contact points. One on either side of the aircraft with carry the weight and a plank between them.

Layers of wood built in ascending lengths. extends the length of the loading ramp. This decreases the angle of the ramp and creates a flatter platform for loading, reducing the possibility of the item striking the aircraft or ground during loading/off-loading

This is the contact surface for that portion of the cargo resting on the floor. Expressed to the nearest tenth and NEVER increased.

Amount of weight exerted in one square inch of the area. Expressed to the tenth position and is increases by 1/10 if there is any remainder beyond the tenth position.

A piece of wood which extends below a piece of cargo to raise it off of a surface and make it easier to use a forklift.

Used to spread the load over a larger area, thus decreasing the PSI

The prevention of movement

3.0 Toward the the front or nose of the aircraft(Takeoff)

1.5 Toward the rear or tail of the Aircraft(Landing)

1.5 Side to side, left or right movement

2.0 Up or down Movement of cargo.

The Minimum amount of restraint required to prevent cargo movement in a specific direction. Also called Load factor

Regular in form or arrangement of corresponding parts; an item capable of division by longitudinal plane into similar halves.

The equipment used to tie down or restrain an item; Ex: Chains Straps

Clevis mounted on a vehicle, pallet or aircraft floor used to secure cargo.

The capacity of the chain and device is limited to the capacity of the weakest point in the line of restraint
