Should a combo CARP have any effect on stick length?

A

No

max stick length shall be determined by the usable drop zone for personnel

113
Q

Do you still subtract 200 yards for a safety factor in a combo drop?

A

Yes

114
Q

Once the combo CARP has been determined how do you calculate the planned PI for the cargo?

A

calculate a cargo CARP and use the long/short and left/right determinations to plot the ballistic travel of the cargo

if cargo lands within DZ then combo CARP is acceptable

115
Q

Combo

If cargo lands outside DZ what can you do to get it onto DZ?

A

shift personnel PI in direction and distance required to “pull” cargo PI onto DZ.

116
Q

Combo

How do you accomplish lateral and longitudinal shifts of the PI?

A

Lateral - must be accomplished by adjusting the PI coordinates

Longitudinal - accomplished by adjusting the PI coordinates or reducing the exit time. Must be accompanied by a reduction in total DZ length to ensure jumpers land in usable DZ. (this will reduce total stick length)

117
Q

Combo

If you shift the PI laterally, what shall the distance be?

distance between PI and DZ boundary shall be at least 1/2 the min req DZ width

118
Q

Alternate Combo

may not require to shift CARP if DZ long enough to accommodate all jumpers after cargo exits

use the LLSL CARP. Useable DZ time must meet or exceed number of jumpers plus the cargo exit time plus 3
