In this situation, Airman Jones should stop operations and clarify the signal. Since SSgt Michels' spotting signals are confusing, it is important for Airman Jones to ensure clear communication and understanding before proceeding further. This will help prevent any potential accidents or mistakes that may occur due to the confusion.

When pulling loose cargo for upload, it is important to ensure that the transportation control number (TCN) matches on the load pull sheet or load plan to the shipping label. The TCN is a unique identifier assigned to each shipment, and it helps in tracking and managing the cargo during transportation. Matching the TCN on the load pull sheet or load plan to the shipping label ensures that the correct cargo is being loaded and transported to the intended destination.

A center of balance (C/B) marking is not required for a single pallet because a single pallet is considered to be a stable load and does not require any additional markings to indicate its center of balance. C/B markings are typically used for larger or more complex loads, such as three-pallet trains or shipments of long pipes, where it is important to indicate the center of balance to ensure safe handling and transportation. However, for a single pallet or a small piece of rolling stock weighing 500 pounds, the center of balance is assumed to be in the middle and no additional markings are necessary.

If human remains are not embalmed and refrigeration is not available, the appropriate action would be to contact mortuary affairs. Mortuary affairs personnel are trained to handle and transport deceased individuals in a proper and respectful manner. They will have the necessary knowledge and resources to ensure that the remains are handled appropriately and safely, even in the absence of embalming or refrigeration.

The correct answer is "At the beginning of each shift." This means that reviewing the AMC Form 106 should be done every time a new shift starts. This is important to ensure that perishable shipment reicing is done as necessary, as any delays or missed reicing could lead to spoilage or damage to the shipment. By reviewing the form at the beginning of each shift, the personnel can stay updated on the status of the reicing and take any necessary actions to maintain the quality and integrity of the perishable items.

A female passenger who is less than 6 weeks postpartum must present a medical officer or civilian equivalent's certification that she is medically sound in order to travel. This certification ensures that the passenger is in good health and fit to travel after giving birth.

AMC Form 166b, Contract Discrepancy or Violation Notice-Civil Airlift, is the correct answer because it specifically mentions reporting contract discrepancies or violations. The other forms listed are related to preflight and in-flight surveillance activities, but they do not specifically address contract discrepancies or violations.

Cargo outlined in the applicable aircraft technical order would not require an ATTLA cert letter because it is already specified and approved in the technical order. The ATTLA cert letter is required for cargo that does not meet the specified requirements or exceeds certain limits, such as height or width greater than 8 ft, axle loads greater than 5,000 lbs, or floor contact pressure greater than 50 psi.

The formula used to determine the shoring requirements for skidded cargo is L × W × number of skids. This formula takes into account the length (L) and width (W) of the cargo, as well as the number of skids. By multiplying these values together, you can calculate the total shoring requirements needed to support the skidded cargo.

The cargo must be segregated from other cargo in the terminal to allow for ready identification and expeditious movement of the material. This ensures that the specific AMC mission capability (MICAP)/very, very important parts (VVIP)/forward supply system (FSS) shipments can be easily identified and quickly processed without any confusion or delays caused by mixing them with other cargo.

The shift supervisor/senior controller of Air Terminal Operations Center (ATOC) must review the form for accuracy and completeness and sign it before it is sent to data records for review and filing. This individual is responsible for overseeing the operations at the ATOC and ensuring that all necessary documentation is properly reviewed and signed off on before further processing.

When processing an originating AMC MICAP/VVIP/FSS shipment, the form used to control and monitor each shipment is the AMC Form 36, Originating AMC MICAP/VVIP Control Log.

Corrosion can result in a pallet being removed from the airlift system because it can weaken the structural integrity of the pallet. Corrosion is the process of deterioration and decay of a material, typically caused by chemical reactions with the environment. If a pallet becomes corroded, it may no longer be able to safely support the weight of the cargo, posing a risk to the airlift system. Therefore, to ensure safety and prevent any potential accidents or damage, a corroded pallet would need to be removed from the system.

DD Form 2775 is the correct form to annotate the total weight of the shipment. This form is specifically designed for recording the weight and balance data of cargo and is used by the Department of Defense (DoD) for transportation purposes. The other forms mentioned, DD Form 2133, DD Form 365-4, and AMC Form 39, are not intended for this specific purpose and do not provide the necessary fields for recording the total weight of the shipment.

Wet ice is acceptable for re-icing whole blood shipments because it can maintain a consistent temperature and prevent the blood from thawing during transportation. Wet ice is made by adding water to regular ice, which helps to keep the temperature low and stable. This ensures that the blood remains at the required temperature until it reaches its destination. Dry ice, gel-freeze, and salted wet ice are not suitable for re-icing whole blood shipments as they may either be too cold or not provide the necessary temperature control.

The shipper is responsible for marking the gross weight and the center of balance (C/B) on a shipment. This is because the shipper is the one who prepares and packages the goods for transportation. They need to accurately mark the weight and center of balance to ensure proper handling and distribution of the cargo during transit. Load planning personnel, cargo handling personnel, and special handling personnel may be involved in the process, but ultimately it is the shipper's responsibility to provide this information.

Security and classified shipments must be inventoried and accountability transferred using an Air Mobility Command (AMC) Form 214, Security Cage Log, or equivalent. This action is required at the closest shift change to 0001 hours local time each day. This means that the inventory and transfer of accountability for these shipments should occur at the shift change closest to 0001 hours (midnight) local time every day. This ensures that there is a regular and consistent process for monitoring and tracking these sensitive shipments.

Sleeper shoring is required for spring-mounted vehicles or vehicles over 20,000 pounds with off-road tires. Sleeper shoring is a type of shoring system that supports the weight of the vehicle while it is parked or resting. It helps to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground or causing damage to the surrounding area. Rolling shoring, parking shoring, and approach shoring are not specifically designed for this purpose, making sleeper shoring the correct answer.

If there is a difference of 150 pounds between the documented and actual weight of the cargo, it is necessary to break down the originating pallet and individually weigh each piece of cargo. This is because the difference in weight indicates that there may be discrepancies or errors in the overall weight measurement. By weighing each piece individually, any errors or inaccuracies can be identified and corrected, ensuring accurate documentation and handling of the cargo.

The correct answer is classified, protected cargo. As a member of the special handling section, being handed a piece of unclassified cargo identified as nuclear weapons related material (NWRM) indicates that the cargo is classified. Additionally, the fact that it is identified as NWRM suggests that it requires protection and security measures, making it classified and protected cargo.

In a departure mission load report (MLR), information about human remains cargo would be located in the "Special interest cargo" section. This section is specifically designed to record and highlight any unique or sensitive cargo that requires special attention or handling. Human remains cargo falls under this category as it requires specific protocols and procedures to ensure respectful and proper transportation. The "Special interest cargo" section allows for easy identification and communication of these special cargo items to the relevant personnel involved in the mission.

Before transferring custody of registered mail on a terminating mission, it is necessary to inspect the container to verify the contents. This is important to ensure that the correct items are being transferred and to prevent any discrepancies or potential issues. By inspecting the container, both the sender and the aircrew member can confirm that the contents match the documentation and that everything is in order before proceeding with the transfer. This helps to maintain accountability and ensure the smooth and accurate handling of the registered mail.

Aerial port management reviews the Excessive port hold time (PHT) or system entry time (SET) report daily when reviewing and reconciling transportation documentation. This report helps them identify any instances of excessive hold time or delays in system entry, which can indicate inefficiencies or bottlenecks in the transportation process. By monitoring and addressing these issues, aerial port management can improve the overall efficiency and timeliness of transportation operations.

Amn Chavez should listen to his primary spotter because they are the main spotter responsible for guiding him in confined spaces. The primary spotter's instructions should take precedence over the secondary spotter's instructions in order to ensure safe and coordinated movement of the forklift.

When transporting a load to an aircraft, it is necessary to verify the type of materials handling equipment (MHE) being used. This is important because different types of MHE have different capabilities and limitations, and using the wrong type of equipment can lead to accidents or damage to the load or aircraft. Verifying the tail number, aircraft type, and parking spot are not directly related to the transportation of the load and do not impact the safety or efficiency of the operation.

Tie down provides restraint for up to three angles when applied properly. This means that it can secure an object or structure from moving or shifting in three different directions, providing stability and preventing it from tipping over or collapsing.

Side-wall seats designed to carry fully-equipped paratroopers allow a large-bodied passenger to use standard seat belts because they are specifically designed to accommodate the size and weight of fully-equipped paratroopers. These seats are usually wider and have reinforced structures to provide extra support and stability. As a result, they can easily accommodate larger passengers and allow them to fasten standard seat belts securely.

The correct answer is "is a US military or US civilian and possesses the appropriate security clearance." This answer is the most comprehensive and specific option. It ensures that the individual is not only military or civilian but also specifically from the US. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of possessing the appropriate security clearance, which is crucial when handling security or classified shipments.

The correct answer is that all aircraft data and events are accurately captured and all transportation documents that apply to that mission are included in the package. This answer best aligns with the statement in the question that the personnel should review the folder to ensure that all aircraft data and events are accurately captured and that all transportation documents relevant to the mission are included. This ensures that the records are complete and accurate before filing them in the station files.

Spotters are required anytime vehicles are operated within 10 feet of an aircraft because at such close proximity, there is a higher risk of collision or damage to the aircraft. Spotters help to ensure the safety of both the vehicles and the aircraft by providing visual guidance and communication to the vehicle operators. This distance requirement helps to prevent accidents and maintain a safe working environment around aircraft.

You can open a diagnostic specimen shipment to receive it when closing instructions are provided with the shipment. This implies that there are specific instructions on how to properly close the shipment after it has been opened. These instructions ensure that the specimen remains secure and protected during transportation. Without these instructions, it is not recommended to open the shipment as it may compromise the integrity of the specimen or pose a risk to the handler.

Rolling stock, which refers to vehicles or equipment that can move on wheels or tracks, is secured to a K-loader using chains and devices both in the forward and aft directions. These chains and devices are used to prevent any movement or shifting of the rolling stock during transportation. This ensures that the rolling stock remains stable and secure while being loaded onto or unloaded from the K-loader. The use of chains and devices provides a strong and reliable method of securing the rolling stock, ensuring the safety of both the equipment and the personnel involved.

When free-flow is authorized, an aerial port of embarkation (APOE) can ship explosives or applicable foreign military sales (FMS) shipments without the need for aerial port of debarkation (APOD) approval. This means that the shipment can be sent without waiting for clearance from the APOD or adjusting the airlift to accommodate it. The explosives validator still ensures that normal hazardous cargo restrictions have been met before allowing the shipment.

If an aircrew member notices a discrepancy with a registration number on a registered mail shipment, they must correct it and generate a new manifest. This ensures that the correct information is documented and that there is no confusion or errors in the shipment records. Making pen-and-ink changes to the manifest may lead to further confusion or mistakes, so it is best to generate a new manifest with the corrected information. Writing a statement on the manifest and notifying the downline station may not be sufficient to correct the discrepancy, and annotating the incorrect mail shipment as a short shipment may lead to incorrect information being recorded.

If you find a discrepancy on a pallet that you cannot correct during an air terminal inventory, the best course of action is to let the appropriate work center know so they can fix it. This ensures that the issue is brought to the attention of the people responsible for resolving it. By notifying the work center, they can take the necessary steps to address the discrepancy and ensure that the inventory is accurate.

Units and aerial port personnel will use Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES) Load Plans for mobility moves, contingencies, and channel missions outside of Air Mobility Command (AMC) if they have the capability.

When processing Defense Courier Service (DCS) material, the DCS representative's first choice to escort the material in the absence of a dedicated courier is a space-required passenger selected from a printed copy of the list of eligible passengers. This means that if there is no dedicated courier available, the DCS representative will choose a passenger who has been identified as needing to travel on that particular flight and is eligible to do so. This ensures that the material is accompanied by someone who is already scheduled to be on the flight and reduces the need for additional resources or personnel.

If a distinguished visitor requests no honors but still requests transportation, it means that they do not want any formal ceremonies or special recognition, but they still require transportation services. In this case, the correct DV honors code to use would be "T" which stands for "Transportation". This code indicates that the visitor will receive transportation services without any additional honors or ceremonies.

The duty position that is considered the "eyes and ears" of the aerial port is the ramp controller. This position is responsible for coordinating and directing the movement of aircraft and vehicles on the ramp, ensuring safety and efficiency. They monitor and communicate with ground personnel, pilots, and other staff to ensure smooth operations and prevent any potential hazards or delays. The ramp controller plays a crucial role in maintaining order and control on the ramp, making them the eyes and ears of the aerial port.

The shipper completes blocks 3, 4, 5, and 6 only when the information is classified. This means that the shipper provides the necessary information related to the classification of the shipment in these blocks. The other blocks may contain information that is not relevant to the classification of the shipment. However, it is important to note that once the form is completed, it must be handled as classified material regardless of which blocks are filled out.

The correct answer is (Air Terminal Operations Center) ATOC remarks. This is because the subsequent handling of the aircraft after completing all tasks and returning it is recorded in the ATOC remarks block of the AMC Form 77, which is used for recording aircraft ground handling activities.

After containerizing the registered mail shipments into one box, the first step in sealing the container is to tape it shut. Additionally, the boxcar seal number should be prominently annotated on the tape, along with the signatures of both individuals involved. This ensures that the container is securely sealed and any tampering can be easily detected.

The correct answer is critical, major, and minor. The Air Mobility Command (AMC) Form 166a, Preflight Surveillance Activity Checklist, is used by commercial carriers to ensure compliance with regulations and safety standards. The COR can provide feedback in three levels of discrepancies: critical, which indicates a severe violation of regulations that poses a significant safety risk; major, which indicates a significant deviation from regulations but does not pose an immediate safety risk; and minor, which indicates a minor deviation from regulations that does not affect safety but should still be corrected.

The 618 Air Operations Center (AOC) ensures that if the planned movement of human remains (HR) does not occur within 18 hours, appropriate measures are taken to expedite their onward movement. This means that if there are any delays in the transportation of human remains, the AOC will intervene to ensure that they are moved as quickly as possible within the given timeframe of 18 hours.

When maintaining the consolidated flight packages (CFP), it is recommended to consider them as permanent documents. However, after 2 fiscal years, it is advisable to retire them to the base staging area. This allows for efficient record-keeping and ensures that outdated documents are not cluttering the system.

A Coin Assist passenger is a dependent whose sponsor is missing in action, a prisoner of war, or otherwise designated by the DOD. This means that the passenger is a family member or dependent of a military service member who is either missing, captured, or designated by the Department of Defense. They may be eligible for special assistance and support during their travel.

Assets must be returned within 60 days when signed out.

The correct answer is NLT 2100Z every Tuesday. "NLT" stands for "no later than," indicating that the report must be submitted by 2100Z (Zulu time) on Tuesday. This means that the report should be submitted before or at 2100Z on Tuesday, which is the deadline set by HQ AMC/A4TR.

When conducting an air terminal inventory on loose cargo, it is necessary to verify the priority, number of pieces, weight, and cube only. This means that in addition to checking the priority level assigned to the cargo, the inventory must also confirm the quantity of pieces, weight, and the overall volume (cube) of the cargo. Other factors such as the aerial port of debarkation (APOD), transportation control number (TCN), date received, air commodity/special handling code, and warehouse location are not required to be verified during the inventory process.
