Cards

Term
The Carp is based on the first load to exit the aircraft.  What is the exception to this rule?
Definition
When door bundles precede personnel, compute seperate carps for the personnel and the bundle.  Release the bundle on the personnel carp after ensuring the bundle will impact on the surveyed DZ.
Term
What do weather facilities report wind in (Mag or True?)
Definition
True
Term
What is a MEW or mean effective wind?
Definition
A wind calculated by the ground party referenced in constant speed and direction, extending from the DZ surface to drop altitude.
Term
Can you update the carp after the one minute?
Definition
Yes, it is possible to re-evaluate the carp inside the one minute advisory.
Term
What should you label the DZ overlay with?
Definition

Parachute Type

load weight

TTF

Wind Circle Size

Term
Do you have to use specific wind values depending on the cource ie. MEW, Altitude Winds, Surface Winds or pre-planned winds?
Definition
No, the decision on which wind to use or combination of winds is up to the individual.
Term
What is the red light time?
Definition
Actual elapsed time, in seconds, from release point to "red light" call.
Term
When do you need to recompute your HARP?
Definition
If drop altitude, actuation altitude or significant wind changes occur.
Term
How fast do high velocity CDS drops using ring slot parachutes descend?
Definition
65 to 100 FPS
Term
When do we use indicated altitudes for airdrop?  When do we use Pressure Altitudes?
Definition
Indicated altitudes are used when externally supplied (surface) DZ alitimeter setting is used.  Pressure altitude is the altitude to be flown with an altimeter setting of 29.92.
Term
What is a "D" Value?
Definition
The difference in feet between the true altitude of the aircraft and the pressure altitude of the aircraft.
Term
How cab you measure a "D" value in flight?
Definition
Take the radar altitude plus the terrain elevation and subtract pressure altitude.
Term
Where can you find the types of rescue drops to include chute types, min altitudes and min weights? 
Definition
Chapter 6 of the 11-231

Wind limit for NON-AF personnel?
Definition
At the discretion of the supported unit DZCO.
Term
Can we drop without a "K" Factor?
Definition
Negative.
Term
What is a good rule of thumb for exit time changes when your CDS isn't where you thought it would be?
Definition
1 sec for each 100 inches of FS.  (And it is really a little less than that)
Term
What is a good wag on the FTD for a 150 ft freefall bundle?
Definition

200 Yards

Or you can use the sweet table in the 231.

Term
Is there a minimum altitide for CDS because of the 26' HV Ring slot chute?
Definition
Yes.  500 ft
