The surface wind at the DZ is normally measured using an anemometer or other calibrated wind-measuring device. Wind direction is reported in magnetic degrees and wind speed in knots. Ref: AFI 13-217, 10 May 2007 Para: 2.8.1.
True
The surface wind limit for AF training bundles (SATB) airdrops is ______ knots. Ref: AFI 13-217, 10 May 2007 Para: Table 2.3

13
Drop clearance to a marked DZ is normally inherent with mission clearance and is confirmed by the aircrew observing the pre-briefed visual DZ markings. Unless radio communications are specifically required, any coordinated markings, other than red smoke, red flares, or red lights indicate a clearance to drop. Ref: AFI 13-217, 10 May 2007 Para: 2.12.1.
True
When an off DZ airdrop has been confirmed or suspected, the aircrew involved will not attempt another drop for the remainder of the mission. In the case of an off DZ drop involving injury or death to personnel, the mission will be terminated and the aircraft will land as soon as possible. Ref: AFI 13-217, 10 May 2007 Para: 2.21.1.
True
