x

The following conditions must be met when rigging these loads:

CAUTION:There must be no more than 432 gallons of liquid in eachdrum when rigged for low-velocity airdrop. Do not pressurizedrums with air.

Hazardous Material. When included as a part of these loads, fuel must bepackaged, marked, and labeled as described in AFMAN(I) 24-204/TM 38-250.

Weight. Each drum of fuel MUST be weighed to learn its exact weight, asthe drum has no gauge to measure the liquid content. For computing liquidweight per US gallon, 6 pounds are used for gasoline, 6.4 pounds for JP4 fuel,6.7 pounds for JP8 fuel, and 6.68 pounds for diesel fuel. When empty, the drumweighs 250 pounds.

CAUTION:Because the fuel drum is flexible, it will rebound uponground impact and the lashings may be broken. This couldfree the drum and allow it to roll off the platform and createa possible hazard in the immediate area.

Manuals. A copy of this manual must be available to the joint airdropinspectors during the before- and after-loading inspections.

Four Fuel Drums. Four 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocityairdrop from C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 aircraft.

SECTION IV - RIGGING FARE WITH SEVEN 500-GALLON FUEL DRUMS ON A32-FOOT PLATFORM

DESCRIPTION OF LOAD

1-39. Two containerized FARE and seven 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums arerigged on a 32-foot platform with six G-11 cargo parachutes. Each drum is filledwith 432 gallons of fuel. Each containerized FARE weighs 1,230 pounds. Eachgasoline-filled 500 gallon fuel drum weighs 2,842 pounds and is approximately53-inches in length. The total weight of the seven gasoline-filled drums and thetwo containerized FARE is 22,354 pounds.

Notes: 1. For drums filled with a liquid other than gasoline, use Table 1-1 torecompute the weight.

2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoffcurve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.

3. This load may not be rigged using water due to load weight require-ments.

4. Do not pressurize drums with air.

PREPARING PLATFORM

1-40. Prepare a 32-foot airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspensionbrackets, and 82 tie-down clevises as shown in Figure 1-55.

Notes: 1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed. 2. Measurements given in this section are from the front edge of the

platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

Rigging 500-Gallon Drums with the 350-GPMWheel-Mounted POL Pumping Assembly, Filter/Separator

Assembly, and Hose Box

SECTION I - RIGGING THREE 500-GALLON DRUMS

DESCRIPTION OF LOAD

3-1. The three collapsible drums are rigged on a 24-foot platform with four G-11cargo parachutes. Each drum is filled with a maximum of 432 gallons of liquid.When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inchesin diameter. The 350-GPM pump with filter/separator and hose box are accom-panying loads. The total rigged load has a maximum rigged weight of 21,000pounds with a width of 108 inches and a length of 324 inches. It has an over-hang of 18 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear.

Notes: 1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 1-1 torecompute the weight.

2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoffcurve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.

3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

PREPARING PLATFORM

3-2. Prepare a 24-foot type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight sus-pension brackets, and 48 tie-down clevises as shown in Figure 3-1.

Notes: 1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed. 2. Measurements given in this section are from the front edge of the

platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

SECTION IV- RIGGING AAFARS WITH SIX 500-GALLON FUEL DRUMS

DESCRIPTION OF LOAD

4-56. The Advanced Aviation Forward Area Refueling System (AAFARS) is riggedon a 32-foot type, V platform with seven G-11 cargo parachutes. The AAFARS isdesigned for forward area refueling of up to four aircraft at a time with a mini-mum of 55 GPM. There are six collapsible fuel drums as an accompanying load.Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid. When empty, each drum weighs250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. The total riggedoverall length is 402 inches. Width is 108 inches. Height is 94 inches. Center ofbalance is 195 inches.

Notes: 1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 1-1 torecompute the weight.

2. If the load varies from the one shaown, the weight, height, CB, tipoffcurve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed

3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

SECTION V- RIGGING AAFARS WITH SEVEN 500-GALLON FUEL DRUMS

DESCRIPTION OF LOAD

4-76. The Advanced Aviation Forward Area Refueling System (AAFARS) is riggedon a 32-foot type, V platform with seven G-11 cargo parachutes. The AAFARS isdesigned for forward area refueling of up to four aircraft at a time with a mini-mum of 55 GPM. There are six collapsible fuel drums as an accompanying load.Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid. When empty, each drum weighs250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. The total riggedoverall length is 402 inches. Width is 108 inches. Height is 96 inches. Center ofbalance is 192 inches.

Notes: 1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 1-1 torecompute the weight.

2. If the load varies from the one shaown, the weight, height, CB, tipoffcurve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed

3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

Appendix A

INSTALLING SUSPENSION SLING SAFETY TIES

Installing the Suspension Sling Safety Ties keeps the suspension slings from making contact withthe load. The procedures in this Appendix are different from those in FM 4-20.102/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010/TO 13C7-1-5. An exception to FM 4-20.102/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010/TO 13C7-1-5 is granted. The procedures in this Appendix must be followed.Safety tie the front and rear suspension slings according to instructions shown below.

1 Cut two lengths of 1/2-inch tubular nylon webbing, making each long enough to reachfrom the left front suspension sling to the right front suspension sling plus 8 feet. Split theplies of the left front suspension sling. Route two lengths of the 1/2-inch tubular webbingthrough the plies of the sling from inboard to outboard about 3 feet.

2 Route the 3 foot running end from outboard to inboard around the inside plies andaround the outboard plies from inboard to outboard. Tie it in place on the inboard sidewith three alternating half-hitches with an overhand knot in the running end.

Appendix A-2

3 Split the plies of the right front suspension sling and route the running ends of the twolengths of 1/2-inch tubular nylon webbing through the plies of the sling from inboard tooutboard. Pass enough of the webbing through the sling to take the slack out, but notenough to keep the slings from hanging in their natural position.

4 Route the running end from outboard to inboard around the inside plies and around theoutboard plies from inboard to outboard. Tie it in place on the inboard side with threealternating half-hitches with an overhand knot in the running end.

5 Tape the webbing to the slings with masking tape.

6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 on the rear suspension slings. (not shown)

7 When using four-loop, type XXVI suspension slings, wrap each four plies with a 10-by 10-inch piece of cotton muslin. Secure each wrap with one single turn of 1/4-inch cottonwebbing. (not shown)
