Airdrop Systems Safety

Abstract

The report describes a method for evaluation of airdrop equipment safety characteristics. It provides procedures for test preparation, initial inspection, preparation of questionnaires, mechanical hazards, electrical hazards, personnel safeguards, and safety measures required on drop zone (land and water). Appendices describe permanently installed airdrop equipment, identify the levels of safety hazards, and provide an example questionnaire. It is applicable to airdrop equipment (restraining, extraction, retardation, and ground impact) for rotary and fixed wing aircraft in the delivery of general materiels, excluding toxic or hazardoud items.
