a. Section I Load Planning.
b. Section II Load Methods and Restraint.
c. Section III Winching.
d. Section IV On/Off-loading Procedures.
e. Section V Charts and Graphs.
3.2.5.1 Section I Load planning. Unless otherwise speciied by the acquiring activity (see 6.2), load
planning shall present instructions for, but not limited to the following:
a. Aircraft capability/capacity data.
b. General weight and balance requirements.
c. Loading and placement of hazardous cargo.
d. Maximum weight per mission.
e. Weight and balance factors and formulas.
f. Center of gravity computations for aircraft and cargo.
g. Weight and balance computer operation (if installed).
3.2.5.1.1 Aircraft capability/capacity data. The following strength and physical limitation information for
cargo area loors and roller conveyors shall be provided to support load planning.
a. Cargo area loors. Strength capability data for the main cargo loors, treadways (if applicable),
and maneuvering areas shall be provided. A plan view of the cargo loor showing variations in
loor strength and local concentrated load limitations in various areas shall also be included.
Strength data for the ramps, where applicable, shall be included. The data provided shall include,
but shall not be limited to, the following parameters:
1. Maximum allowable loads on and off treadways, if applicable, for both loading/off-loading
and light conditions, shall be shown for the entire cargo loor area, including the
ramp. This information shall be derived from test data and shall represent the actual
loor strength capability.
2. Crushing allowable in pounds per square inch (psi), as well as working allowable (in psi),
for both loading/off-loading and light conditions shall be shown for all areas of the cargo
loor, including the ramp. This information shall be based on actual loor strength test data.
3. Allowable wheel loads on and off treadways, if applicable, for both loading/off-loading and
light conditions, shall be determined for the entire cargo loor and ramp using actual loor
capability test results. These data shall cover solid rubber, pneumatic, and steel wheels, and
shall be shown in graphic form for various width wheels, i.e., wheel width versus (vs)
allowable load for speciied loor regions. The data provided shall also include sample
problems for skid and tracked vehicle loads.
4. Shoring requirements shall be established for steel and rubber wheels, pneumatic tires, and
for rolling and parking loads on and off the treadway, if applicable. This information
shall be derived from test data.
b. Roller conveyors. Information shall be provided on the load carrying capabilities. Load carrying
data provided shall include individual roller strength based on test data and the capabilities of
various combinations of rollers (i.e., per row of rollers across the cargo loor, per speciic length
or given number of rollers in one conveyor, etc.). Locations shall be in terms of aircraft/ramp
buttlines and stations. The types of rollers in each conveyor, and conveyor interchangeability
information shall also be provided.
3.2.5.1.2 General weight and balance requirements. This paragraph shall include all the factors that must
be taken into consideration before actual loading is accomplished.
