Term
The type of parachute used will vary on the _________ to be airdropped.
Definition

The _________ of parachute used will vary on the cargo to be airdropped. 

Term

How the airdrop loads exit the aircraft is the _________ used.

Definition

How the airdrop loads _____________ is the method used.

Term

The ________ of airdrop is the rate at which the load will descend.

Definition

The type of airdrop is the ______ at which the load will _________.

Term

The three types of methods of airdrops are the ____________, ____________, and _______________.

Definition

The three types of _________________ are the Manual Ejection, Gravity Drop, and Extraction drop.

Term

The ___________________ is the most low-tech method of airdrop. Simply stated, the load to be airdropped is pushed or thrown out of the troop door, or off the ramp of the aircraft. This method will work with all three types of airdrops.

Definition

The Manual ejection is the most low-tech method of airdrop. Simply stated, the load to be airdropped is ___________ out of the ______ door, or off the _______ of the aircraft. This method will work with ___________ types of airdrops.

Term

The method of airdrop, ___________, is dependent on two actions of the aircraft. As the aircraft flies over the drop zone, the aircraft enters a nose-high altitude. Simultaneously, a release gate, which is nylon strap providing aft restraint, is cut. The load will then roll out of the aircraft under the force of gravity.

Definition

The method of airdrop, Gravity Drop, is dependent on two actions of the aircraft. As the aircraft flies over the drop zone, the aircraft enters a _____________. Simultaneously, a release gate, which is nylon strap providing aft restraint, is ________. The load will then _____ out of the aircraft under the force of gravity.

Term

The method of airdrop, _____________, is used primarily with heavy equipment such as vehicles. The load is rigged onto an airdrop platform and is held in place by the dual rail system of the aircraft. Just before the aircraft passes the drop zone, an extraction chute connected to an extraction line is deployed into the slip stream. The force of the load descending against the extraction chute deploys and the main cargo parachutes.

Definition

The method of airdrop, Extraction Drop, is used primarily with _______ equipment such as vehicles. The laod is rigged onto an airdrop platform and is held in place by the __________ system of the aircraft. Just before the aircraft passes the drop zone, an extraction chute connected to an extraction line is deployed into the slip stream. The force of the load descending against the extraction chute deploys and the main cargo parachutes.

Term

The type of airdrop, _____________, is primarily used for non-fragile items.

Definition

The type of airdrop, Free-Drop, is primarily used for ______________ items.

Term

The type of airdrop, __________ airdrop, falls at a rapid rate towards a small target.This type of airdrop is used when accuracy is crucial to ensure hitting a designated target.

Definition

The type of airdrop, High Velocity airdrop, falls at a _____ rate towards a ______ target.This type of airdrop is used when ________ is crucial to ensure hitting a designated target.

Term

The type of airdrop, _______________ airdrop, are dropped and descend at a low rate. This drop requires one or more large cargo parachutes.

Definition

The type of airdrop, Low-Velocity airdrop, are dropped and descend at a ______ rate. This drop requires __________________ parachutes.

Term

________________ are loads that are rigged for airdrop in airdrop containers. These containers are packed with supplies, equipment, etc. prepared for the airdrop.

Definition

Container loads are loads that are rigged for airdrop in airdrop containers. These containers are packed with supplies, equipment, etc. prepared for the airdrop.
