Load Planning I (Basic) v2.0 - 4. Aircraft CB and Prepare Load Plan
What is the CB station for this C-17?
1270.8
Using the formula Weight x Arm = Moment, calculate the moment of a cargo item. Use the C-5 simplification constant of 100,000 when calculating. A pallet train weighing 14,250 lbs. is loaded on a C-5 with its CB at FS 920. What is the pallet train's cargo moment?
131
What are the only two sections used on the AF Form 4080 when load planning civilian belly-compartment aircraft?
1B and 1C
Using the formula Weight x Arm = Moment, calculate the moment of a cargo item. A vehicle weighing 19,650 lbs, is loaded on a C-17 with its CB at FS 1050.
2063
If a C-5 has a CB station of 1372.4, what is the %MAC?
31.9
If a C-17 has a CB station of 897.8, what is the %MAC?
33.7
Based on the C-5 draft sequence shown, what should be entered in the PLT POS AVAILABLE/USED box on the AF Form 4080 header?
35/14
Which %MAC will produce optimized performance for a C-17 with a Zero Fuel Weight between 400,000 and 425,000 lbs?
39%
C-5, C-130, and C-17 ADS, what is the distance from the front of the pallet position to its centroid?
44 inches
A C-17's CB station is 940. What is the %MAC?
47.3
For C-17 Logistics, what is the distance from the front of the pallet position to its centroid?
54 inches
Based on the C-17 draft sequence shown, what should be entered in the PLT POS AVAILABLE/USED box on the AF Form 4080 header?
9/7 (incorrect)
Some pallets and pallet trains have cargo hanging over the end of the pallet. How is overhang annotated on the AF Form 4080
Annotate "FOH" or "ROH" on the line corresponding to the pallet position.
Sections 1B and 1C are only used for load planning which of the following?
Civilian belly compartment aircraft
Depending on where the %MAC falls in relation to the center of gravity envelope, you may need to resequencing the cargo. Which of the following is a reason for resequencing cargo?
Computed %MAC out of acceptable range
Aircraft tail number, operating weights, and moments are not required to finalize a load plan.
False
If %MAC falls outside the acceptable Center of Gravity (CG) envelope, the aircraft is still safe to fly as long as approved by the loadmaster.
False
If there are no load planners available on a duty shift, the unit commander may sign and date the AF Form 4080.
False
Sections B and C on the AF Form 4080 are primarily used to load plan military cargo aircraft.
False
Which of the following are sources for gathering mission information to begin the load planning process?
GATES, GDSS2, ATOC
A truck with a total length of 475" will be backed into a C-17. The truck's CB is 145" FFE and aligned with FS 884 (the centroid of PP 5L). In what pallet position will the front end of the truck rest?
PP 6L
A truck with a total length of 225" will be backed into a C-130. The truck's CB is 98" FFE and aligned with FS 422. In what pallet position will the front end of the truck rest?
PP3
List the steps , in order, that are required to find the fuselage station the center of balance aligns with for a pallet train.

To begin a load plan, you need to gather mission information. At a minimum, which of the following information is needed?
See Pic
Using the GATES Mission Detail screen shown, select the fields or areas where the information listed can be found to enter into the AF Form 4080 header.
See Pic
Using the given Mission Detail screen and information from ATOC (ATOC stated the ACL Offered is 118,000), fill out the required header information in the AF Form 4080.
See Pic
On which of the following can you find information about hazardous cargo
Shipper's Declaration of Dangerous goods (SDDG)
SrA Michael Billings, a trainee, has completed a load plan. His supervisor, TSgt Jenny Wright, is on leave and the only qualified load planner available is SSgt James Ryan. SSgt Ryan was not with SrA Billings during load planning and made no input on the load plan. Who should sign and date the AF Form 4080?
SrA Billings and SSgt Ryan
Which of the following is the product of weight and distance? The total will be added to other factors to determine the aircrafts center of balance.
Total cargo moment
If the mission information is missing from either GATES of GDSS2, the load planner should call the APCC first.
True
One reason for resequencing cargo is when the computed %MAC is out of acceptable range.
True
True
True
Use the T.O. 1C-5M-5-2 to find the %MAC for the C-5.
True
From which of the following methods would a load planner obtain mission information?
Using the Mission Detail screen in GDSS2
