Explanation

Passengers must sit at least 30 inches away from the palletized cargo on a C-17. This distance is necessary to ensure the safety of the passengers in case of any movement or shifting of the cargo during the flight. Sitting too close to the cargo can pose a risk of injury to the passengers in case of turbulence or sudden movements. Therefore, maintaining a minimum distance of 30 inches is important for the safety of the passengers.

Submit
78. You are a load team chief about to offload a C–17 with a mixed load consisting of pallets and rolling stock. Before beginning offload operations, you must consider the type of cargo

Explanation

The load team chief needs to consider the type of cargo that will be offloaded, the number and type of equipment available for offloading, and the number of qualified drivers who can operate the equipment. This is important because different types of cargo may require different equipment and handling procedures.

Explanation

To restrain a vehicle weighing 12,380 lbs for the forward direction, you would need to use multiple 10,000-pound chains. Since each chain can hold up to 10,000 lbs, you would need at least 2 chains to restrain the vehicle. However, since the weight of the vehicle exceeds 10,000 lbs but is less than 20,000 lbs, you would need to use 4 chains to ensure proper restraint and safety.

Submit

Explanation

When receiving registered mail, the two pieces of information that must be checked against the manifest are the TCN (transportation control number) and the register number. The TCN is used to track and identify the mail throughout the transportation process, while the register number is unique to each piece of registered mail and helps ensure that the correct item is being received. By verifying both the TCN and register number against the manifest, the recipient can confirm that they have received the correct registered mail item.

Submit
94. The Advance Transportation Control and Movement Document (ATCMD) is not used to

Explanation

The Advance Transportation Control and Movement Document (ATCMD) is not used to provide a way to process a shipment through the Airlift Clearance Authority (ACA). This means that the ATCMD does not serve as a method for facilitating the processing of a shipment through the ACA.
