Load Planning Procedures for Airlift Operations

Efficiently plan and execute the loading of equipment and personnel for airlift operations in compliance with aircraft limitations and constraints. Steps include identifying equipment, optimizing aircraft center of gravity, adhering to weight and height restrictions, and ensuring close-to-optimal distribution. Detailed specifications for C-5 and C-17 aircraft characteristics are provided to guide proper loading procedures.
