CDC 2T251 Volume 3

When load planning cargo, the highest priority should be the safety of the flight. This means ensuring that the cargo is properly secured, balanced, and distributed in the aircraft to maintain stability and prevent any potential hazards or accidents during the flight. While factors like ease of offload at the downline station and loadmaster preference may be considered, they should not take precedence over the safety of the flight.

The correct answer is a disabled passenger. When a passenger is too large to be safely restrained in a single aircraft seat using a single seatbelt, they are considered disabled in terms of their ability to fit and be secured in a regular seat. Handling them as a disabled passenger means providing them with appropriate accommodations and assistance to ensure their safety and comfort during the flight.

The correct answer is AMC Form 20-EL. This form is specifically designed for passengers traveling on emergency leave. Attaching the AMC Form 20-EL baggage tag strap ensures that the bags are properly identified and handled according to the appropriate procedures for emergency leave travelers.

The two types of customers are internal and external. Internal customers refer to individuals or departments within the same organization who rely on the products or services provided by another department or team. External customers, on the other hand, are individuals or organizations outside of the company who purchase or use the products or services offered by the organization. This classification helps in understanding the different needs, expectations, and relationships that exist between the organization and its customers.

If a space-available passenger is not present for a roll call, the correct action to take is to skip the passenger's name and continue with the selection process. This means that the passenger will not be considered for the available space on the flight and the selection process will move on to the next passenger on the list.

Paraphrasing what the passengers said is a way to show that you were actively listening and understood their message. It involves restating their words or summarizing their message in your own words, which allows you to clarify any misunderstandings and ensure that you have correctly interpreted their meaning. This demonstrates your attentiveness and empathy towards the passengers' concerns or requests.

Empathy is the term used to describe understanding the situation from the customer's perspective. It refers to the ability to put oneself in the customer's shoes, understand their emotions, and respond with compassion and understanding. Empathy is essential in customer service as it helps to build trust, enhance communication, and provide personalized solutions that meet the customer's needs and expectations.

The first step in briefing passengers is to prepare so that you know exactly which information you need to brief them about the subject. This involves familiarizing yourself with the necessary information and ensuring that you have a clear understanding of what needs to be conveyed to the passengers. By preparing in advance, you can effectively communicate the relevant information to the passengers and address any questions or concerns they may have.

When briefing passengers and faced with questions you do not know the answer to, it is best to seek help from your supervisor. This ensures that accurate and reliable information is provided to the passengers.

The next step would be to cross-reference the passenger manifest to verify if the passenger was indeed on the flight. This is important because without the boarding pass or baggage claim checks, there is no way to confirm the passenger's claim. By checking the passenger manifest, you can determine if the passenger's claim is valid and proceed accordingly.

Loadmasters are required to legibly print their name below their signature on the hazardous brief sheet. This is important for identification purposes and to ensure that the correct loadmaster is associated with the document. The other options listed (unit, mission number, certification statement) may also be important for record-keeping, but the question specifically asks for the information that loadmasters must print below their signature, and their name is the correct answer.

The question asks for the term used to describe the allowable weight an aircraft can carry. The correct answer is "allowable cabin load (ACL)" because this term specifically refers to the weight limit for the cabin area of the aircraft. The other options, such as leading edge of mean aerodynamic chord (LEMAC), mean aerodynamic chord (MAC), and reference datum line (RDL), do not pertain to the weight limit of the aircraft.

A passenger can be categorized as a Blue Bark passenger when they are traveling in conjunction with the death of a family member. This means that if a passenger is traveling due to the death of a family member, they would fall under the category of Blue Bark passenger. The other options mentioned in the question, such as being a dependent of a missing in action sponsor or a prisoner of war, being a senior officer or senior public official, or being onboard an aircraft but not on the manifest, do not meet the criteria for being a Blue Bark passenger.

The correct next step in this situation is to place the passenger in duty standby status until the pet is travel ready. This means that the passenger will not be allowed to proceed with their travel plans until they have the necessary documentation for their pets that meets the requirements. Placing the passenger in duty standby status ensures that they are not allowed to travel with their pets until the documentation is in order, preventing any potential issues or violations of regulations.

Listening is one of the most difficult and neglected skills when communicating with people. While displaying proper telephone etiquette, enunciating words, and making eye contact are important aspects of communication, listening requires active engagement and attention to understand and respond effectively. Many people struggle with truly listening, as it involves focusing on the speaker, understanding their message, and providing appropriate feedback. Neglecting this skill can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunication, and ineffective communication overall.

After placing a customer on hold, it is important to check back with them within a reasonable timeframe to ensure their needs are being met and to maintain good customer service. Checking back too frequently may disrupt their experience, while not checking back often enough may make them feel neglected. Two or three minutes strikes a balance between these two extremes, giving the customer enough time to collect their thoughts or complete any tasks they may need to do while also showing that their time is valued.

When dealing with an angry passenger, it is important to remain calm and professional. Taking their anger personally can escalate the situation and make it more difficult to resolve the issue. It is important to remember that the passenger's anger is not directed towards the individual personally, but rather towards the situation or the company. Moving them to another area, asking for help from a supervisor, and remaining calm and professional are all appropriate actions to take when dealing with an angry passenger.

Before printing and signing your name on the AF IMT 3516, Food Service Inventory Transfer, when picking up meals from the flight kitchen, you must verify that you have every item listed on the form. This ensures that you have received all the meals that are supposed to be transferred and helps in maintaining accurate inventory records.

If you discover items that need correction in passengers' border clearance and travel authorization documents, you should brief them on what needs to be corrected, inform them of where they need to go to get the corrections, and provide them with instructions on how to get there. This ensures that the passengers are aware of the necessary corrections and know where to go to make the changes.

After coming into direct contact with waste from the aircraft due to a faulty doughnut seal, the correct action to take is to wash immediately and change clothes. This is important to prevent any potential contamination and ensure personal hygiene. While wearing the required personal protective equipment (PPE) may have provided some level of protection, it is still necessary to take these additional steps to minimize any potential risks.

Baggage allowances are not needed when determining if a passenger is eligible to travel. Eligibility to travel is determined based on factors such as travel category and supporting documents, travel restrictions clearances, and proper identification. Baggage allowances, on the other hand, pertain to the amount and size of luggage that a passenger is allowed to bring on their journey and are not directly related to determining eligibility.

The shift supervisor is responsible for reviewing the manually completed mission's AMC Form 77, Aircraft Ground Handling Record for accuracy and content. Once the review is done, the supervisor signs the form before forwarding it to the Records, Reports, and Analysis section. This ensures that the form has been thoroughly checked and verified before it is further processed.

If the shipper has called looking for a shipment when the computers are down, the best way to locate the shipment is to conduct a physical search of the warehouse and cargo yard. This is because the computers being down means that the electronic tracking systems are not accessible, so physically searching the warehouse and cargo yard is the most reliable method to locate the shipment.

The Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES) is a system that enables users to process, manifest, and track passengers and cargo. It allows for efficient management of air transportation operations by providing functionalities such as passenger check-in, cargo tracking, and manifesting. This system is designed to streamline the process of handling passengers and cargo, ensuring that they are properly documented, accounted for, and tracked throughout their journey. It helps in improving the overall efficiency and accuracy of air transportation operations.

In Section III of the Air Mobility Command (AMC) Form 134, the information that needs to be provided is the description of the damage to the baggage and the estimated cost for repair or replacement. This section is specifically for reporting any damage that occurred to the baggage during transportation. The purpose of providing this information is to accurately document the extent of the damage and estimate the cost required for repair or replacement. This information is crucial for the proper handling and processing of the mishandled baggage report.

The head tax charges for passengers are determined based on the type of passenger and the type of aircraft they are traveling on. In this case, the question specifies that the passenger is traveling from McGuire Air Force Base, NJ to Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Since the passenger is described as "space-available" and is traveling on a "commercial-contracted aircraft," it indicates that the passenger is not a military personnel or a space-required passenger. Therefore, the head tax charges will be applicable for a space-available passenger traveling on a commercial-contracted aircraft.

The last passenger should be loaded on the aircraft at 1620 to protect against mission delays. This allows for a buffer of 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time of 1630, ensuring that all passengers are on board and ready for departure on time.

The question asks for the term that refers to the maximum payload that can be carried over the most restrictive flight segment of a mission. The correct answer is critical leg allowable cabin load (ACL), which represents the maximum weight that can be carried in the cabin during the most critical phase of the flight. The other options, reference datum line (RDL), mean aerodynamic chord (MAC), and leading edge of mean aerodynamic chord (LEMAC), do not specifically refer to the maximum payload carried over a flight segment.

If a commercial-contracted flight has been delayed for aircraft maintenance issues and will not be fixed until the next day, the carrier is responsible to provide meals, lodging, and transportation only. This means that the airline will cover the cost of meals, accommodation, and transportation for the passengers affected by the delay. However, per diem expenses are not included in the carrier's responsibility in this situation.

The B-4 bag weighing 110 pounds and measuring 80 linear inches must be shipped as air freight because it exceeds the authorizations for a space-required traveler.

The correct answer is "presence, currency, accuracy, and completeness." This is because when checking travel clearances, it is important to determine if the required documents such as passports, visas, and immunization records are present, up-to-date (currency), correct (accuracy), and complete. These factors ensure that the passenger meets the necessary requirements for travel to the destination.

If you discover two unclaimed articles in the baggage claim area 30 minutes after the last passenger has claimed their baggage, the next step is to mark them with the mission number and transfer them to the lost and found section. This ensures that the articles are properly documented and stored in a designated area where they can be claimed by their rightful owners.

When a passenger registers for space-required travel, it is necessary to collect two copies of the passenger's orders. Before entering the passenger into the backlog, it is required to write in the remarks section on the passenger's orders the date and time of sign-up. This information is important for record-keeping and tracking purposes, as it helps to establish the order in which passengers registered for the travel.

When preparing the AMC Form 148/2, Boarding Pass/Ticket/Receipt, two copies will be completed. One copy is given to the passenger, while the other copy is kept for passenger service records.

Based on the information given, the question is asking which passenger should be removed from the standby listing while updating and maintaining it on 23 Apr 09. The correct answer is 22 Feb 09 because it is the earliest date of sign-up among the given options.

When preparing the Department of Defense (DD) Form 2131, individuals enter their name, grade, signature, and date in the manifest certification blocks to certify that anti-hijacking measures have been conducted. This means that the individuals are confirming that necessary precautions and procedures have been taken to prevent hijacking during the transportation process.

After completing and signing an Air Mobility Command (AMC) Form 244, the Fleet Service dispatcher needs to have the Fleet Service shift supervisor sign it before it can be given to the records section.

The correct answer is the Space-required, Priority 1 passenger with a date and time of sign-up of 1 May 09 at 0700. This passenger has the highest priority and signed up earlier than the other Space-required, Priority 1 passenger. The date and time of sign-up determine the order in which passengers are selected for a flight.

After delivering meals to a C-5, both Fleet Service personnel and aircrew members will stow those meals in the galley or air transportable galley lavatory (ATGL) storage areas.

The function of capability forecasting involves monitoring and clearing explosives shipments, accomplishing aircraft capability schedules, and coordinating Special Assignment Airlift/Air Missions (SAAM/SAM). However, delivering documentation to and from the aircraft is not directly related to capability forecasting.

After reviewing Air Mobility Command (AMC) Form 56, section leadership will forward it to the Records, Reports, and Analysis section to consolidate and include in the 7107 report.

When a passenger reports a lost bag, the Air Mobility Command (AMC) Form 134, Mishandled Baggage Report, needs to be prepared. In this situation, three copies of the form should be prepared. The original copy of the form should be retained in the AMC Form 136 or forwarded to the Baggage Service Center (BSC) after five days. This ensures that there is a record of the report and allows for further investigation or resolution of the lost bag issue.

The first step when giving a hazardous cargo briefing is to prepare yourself by learning about the load. This is important because it allows you to have a thorough understanding of the potential hazards associated with the cargo, as well as any special handling or safety precautions that may be required. By being knowledgeable about the load, you can effectively communicate this information to others and ensure that everyone involved is aware of the risks and how to mitigate them.

Load planners must have the hazardous material qualification of an inspector. This is because inspectors are responsible for inspecting and ensuring the safe handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials. They have the knowledge and expertise to identify potential hazards and ensure compliance with regulations. Packer, handler, and technical specialist may also have roles related to hazardous materials, but the specific qualification required for load planners is that of an inspector.

When verifying transportation authorizations for space-required passengers for TWCF purposes, it is important to verify the customer identification code (CIC) and an authorizing official's signature. These two items ensure that the authorization is legitimate and approved by the appropriate authority. The CIC identifies the specific customer who requires transportation, while the authorizing official's signature confirms that the authorization has been approved by the relevant personnel.

During emergency leave unfunded travel, a dependent of a military member may use CONUS to CONUS travel options. This means that they can travel within the continental United States when accompanied by their sponsor.

Uniformed Services members may travel under Category III while on permissive temporary duty (TDY) orders for house hunting. Category III includes members who are on permissive TDY orders for the purpose of house hunting incident to a permanent change of station (PCS) move. This category allows members to travel on a space-available basis.

A retired Uniformed Services member is eligible to travel under Category VI when determining eligibility for space-available travel.

The correct answer is the air transportable galley/lavatory. This item is placed on three-point dunnage to prevent damage.

The correct answer is to use the AMC Form 148/2 to brief passengers on important mission information. This suggests that the form contains relevant details or instructions that need to be communicated to the passengers before their flight.
