INTRODUCTION This lesson will discuss emerger~cy procedures. It


will. cover the miscellaneous (though no less
ímportant) emergency procedures of bailout, cargo
emergencies, and ditching. Even though these
procedures may be called abnormal or miscellaneous,
they are very important.

PERFORMING There are very few documented cases of planned


BAILOUT

bailouts in the history of the C—130’s. The
aircraft has proven so reliable that bailout is
very hard to imagine in other than combat
{
-~

• situations. Since a part oE our tactical mission


is paratrooper situation, it would be a very safe
process to abandon the aircraft via parachute. The
specific procedures for bailout are contained in
the Dash 1, Section Three. . -

The order of preference for bailout. exits are the


aft cargb door and ramp, paratroop doors, and the
crew entrance door. CSee Figure 1) {
The bailout procedure is as follows:

a. Give biilout warning over the public address


system, interphone, and three short rings on the
E
alarm beil. Use the paratroop jump lights if
troops are on board and have been briefed. [
-

b. Reduce airspeed if possible.

c. With passengers ahoard, descend to an altitude


a which the use of oxygen is not required, if
possible. [
d. Depressurize the aircraft.

e. Place the Air Conditioning Master Switch in


the AUX VENT position. •
[-

f. If possible, head the airrrafe. towards an


isolated area and engage the autopilot. -

g. Open the cargo door and ramp.

POSS IBLE There can be many situations that might arise iii
tE
CARGO the area of cargo compartment emergencies. These
ENERGENCIES can include loose platforms or cargo, fuel ar
chemical leakage, smoke ar fumes emanating from
cargo, ar actual cargo fire. The loadmaster is
E
especially trained to cope with each and every
possibility. However, some situations must depend
on the total crew interaction and response to an
E
emergency. You have already been expased to
aircrew coordination training (ACT) and should
be aware of the requirement to work as a team.
E
LOOSE A loose pallet or rolling stock (vehicle) can occur
PALL ET at any time. The loading team and loadmaster do
everything they can to ensure that the cargo is
properly loaded and restrained. Despite their
E
training and attention to detail, cargo can
sometimes shift ar become loose. Here agem, the
fundamentais of crew coordination are critical.
The loadmaster will advise the crew of loose cargo
and request assistance as required.

ON TAKEOFF Takeoff is, perhaps, the worst place for a


cargo—related emergency to occur. In this
E
situation the crew is ltkely engrossed in the
mechanics of transitioning froni the ground
environment to the airborne erivironment. The pilot
E
must maintain aircraft control and adjust his
actions to cornpensate for rapid center of gravity
changes that may have resulted from the shift of
cargo. The loadmaster must atternpt to resolve the
E
problem or at ieast contam it. In the worst case,
he must quickly assess any damage caused by the
cargo shift and advise the pilot oE the situation.
E
The loadmaster may ar may not receive immediate
assistance from otber crewmembers, depending on the
time and situation. Since it is impossible to E
consider every possible cargo emergency, the crew
must apply sound judgment and common sense to
resoiving specific emergencies. E

EMERGEZ’1CY PROCEDURES CIQ-444-16
WORKBOOK c-130 ATS
05/16/89

IN—FLIGI-IT In—flight cargo emergencies can be just as serious


as those that occur during takeoff. In-flight
situations usually allow for a somewhat less
stressful atmosphere. There is more time to ~eact
to the problem and the loadniaster can expect
assistance from other crewmembers as he atternpts
to solve the problem.

CARGO F1RE Perhaps the worst situation that can occur in a


cargo aircraft is a cargo fire. MAC takes every
precaution to preclude the transportatiori of cargo
that is excessively hazardous. There are entire
manuais specifying what can and cannot be carried
on our aircraft. Despite these precautions, there
have been and wiil be cargo f ires. In such cases,
the loadmaster will again be the focal poiaL for
the aircrew coordination .that is required to soive
these probiems. The aircraft commander will direct
the specific action based on the situation as
reported to him by the loadmaster. Me will direct
smoke and fume procedures and assign other
crewmembers to assist the ioadniaster. Again, there
is not one specific procedure or answer for every
possible situation.

JETTISONING
Jettisoning can be dangerous, due te Lhe possible
loss of aircraft control ar structural damage. The
E
aircraft comrnander rnust carefully consider the
eniergericy situatioTi, operatiorial cons ideration1
availability of suitable drop areas, and whether
E
jettison is necessary.

Depressurizatiori will be required prior te jettison


E
operations, and tlie crewrnenibers rnust use oxygen or
the aircraft rnust descend te an altitude below
10,000 feet. Cargo should be jettisoned out the
ramp and aft cargo doar opening. The rainp and aft
E
cargo doer should be in the AIRDROP position.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CIQ—444--16

JETTISON BY Relatively lightweight cargo should be jettisoned


HAND by hand. The aft ramp and cargo door will be used
for cargo jettisoning. Use the paratroop door if
. ramp and cargo doors cannot be opened. -

JETTISONING Cargo palletized on logistics pallets or platforms


PALLETIZED supported by rollers (not rigged for airdrop) may
CARGO ON be jettisoned if the limitations in Figure 2 are
ROLLERS observed and the cargo jettison TECHZ4IQUE in the
Dash 1 is used. Oversized cargo palletized on
multiple pallets should be considered as one unit.
pallets/platforms joined together in a train by a
coupler should be separated, if the conditions of
the emergency permit, and jettisoned one at a time.
Jettisoning should be planned so that tite aircraft
center of gravity would be within normal limits for
~ landing. If the normal airdrop system is
. operative, cargo may be jettisoned using the AOS
. and normal airdrop procedures. If a malfunction oE
the extraction system is known to have occurred
prior to the initiation of airdrop, the cargo rnay
be jettisoned the sarne as cargo palletized on
rollers but not rigged for airdrop. An extraction
~ system malfunction occurring after initiation of
- airdrop may be extremeiy dangerous if the cargo has
started to move out of the aircraft. If that
situation occurs, the cargo jettison TECHHIQUE in
Section 3 of the Dash 1 must be used.

JETTISONING Jettison of large, heavy palletized cargo resting


CARGO NOT on the floor must be attenipted only as a lasL
ON ROLLIERS resort.
WARNING

Heavy cargo resting on the floor may


move slowly and/or becorne rnisaligned
and wedged in the aft area and could
cause out-of—lim~t CC travei and
loss of airplane control.

CARGO
JETTISON
Detailing of emergency procedures is not practical
because of the many variables.• The following
E
PROCEDURE provides a basic procedure applicatión to enlergency
jettison of palletized cargo on rollers, but must
be supplemented by sound pilot judgment for the
specific conditions: [
a. Estab].ish a noseup attitude (10 degrees) to
obtain a component of gravity for the extraction. [
b. Apply power to accelerate the aircraft and
increase the effective extraction force.

CAUTION [
During cargo jettison move the
elevator control slowly, smoothly
and no more than is necessary, to
avoid: the possibility of exceeding
Structural limits.

• (.1[
Before atternpting to jettison, the
loadmaster should compute the
airplane center of gravity to ensure
that the normal CC would be
maintajned wjthjn normal limits for
landing and that cargo is
~ettisonab1e in accordance with
Figure 2.

DITCHIUG Under ideal canditions - ~na aalU sea, and bv


-

skillful execution of recomjnended techniques, e


ditching of transport-type aircraft can usual
be accomplished with a high degree of success.
However, due to the high wing configuration of this
aircraft, the fuselage may be expected to settle
after touchdown, with consequent flooding of the
cargo compartment. -

Ia the early l980’s a C.-130 operated by bhe


military oE a South Ainerican country was ditched ia
[
the Atlantjc, dose te Berniuda. ft was a
controlled ditching that occurred when the aircraft
ran eut of gas. The ditching was successful,
though not without some loss of life. There was
very little structural damage te the aircraft and
it remained afloat for several days prior te
sinking.

Coas idering the various unfavorable factors


assocjated with overwater bailout, it is often
[
better to ditch, if circumstances permit, since
this makes available the additional life rafts and
survival equipment carried in the aircraft. Ia any
event, the decision to ditcFj or bail out must be
made by the pilot ia command, ia view of the
existing dircumstances. This decision should never
be delayed until the fuel supply is exhausted since
the most effective ditching approach is made with
power on fl a speed slightly above the stall speed.
A minimum of 2,000 pounds of fuel should remairi at
the time of descent from altitude to allow for
jettisoning oE cargo, assessnient of sea condition,
comnunication with ar maneuvering around the
surface vessel when present, and to establish a
landing pattern te the smoothest surface conditjon. [
DITCHLNC Actual experience ia ditching the C—130 is 11w ted.
CHARACTERIS— However, NACA-controlled ditching tests of inoc -s
TICS similar to the C—l30 ia configuration indicate that
there is a reasonably - ..at tite

DITCHING coliapse of Lhe structure ar a sudden rush of water


CHARACTCRIS— into occupied compartinents. On the basis of the
TICS lirnited experience and the NACA tests, it is
(CQNT) conciuded that the following results can be
expected. (The Berinuda ditching substantiateci
these findings.)

tipon contact with the water, moderate bottom dainage


rnay occur in the area immediately forward of the
cargo loading ramp hinge. The bottom damage wiil
tend to stabilize the aircraft directianally.
During the ditching run, inaintain the wings in
an essentially levei attitude. Wing dipping ar
water looping are not expected.

During the initial portion of the ditching run (the


tail down portion), the aft cargo doar znay be
damaged. But the damage wiil probably not affect
either the ditching run ar the sinking raLe since
the location of the door places it above the water
une when the nose setties during the latter part
of the run. It. is very unhikely that the ramp will
open. The crew doar, the side emergency exit, and
the paratroop doors, which will be out of the
water during the teu down portion of the ditching
run, will probably not experience damage.

During the teu 10w initiai contact with Lhe water,


the water—drag forces on the aircraft will tend to
bring the nose down só continued up elevator force
should be applied. This fase down tendency plus
aircraft assurning a nose down, teu high aLtitude
could generate porpoising. If, in this nose
down attitude,a wave pr sweil of iarge magnitude
is encountered, considerable damage to the radome
and nose of the aircraft will occur, with probabie
rupture of the forward bulkhead and inuuediate
flooding of the flight station. Sarne damage rnay
occur in the erea oE Lhe cargo door and ramp, but
expect the primary flooding to occur in the forward
portion of the aircraft if the ditching is in a
heavy sea.

PREPARATION Plans for ditching cannot be made without taking


FOR the wind direction into consideration. Waves move
DITCHING downwind, and the spray f tom wave crest is also
blown downwind. Swells, however, do not always
indicate wind direction and can be very large, e.ven
when the wind is caim. Swells are the result of
underwater disturbances. Over a sea, a pilot mu~t
be more exacting and alert when judging height.
The ditching charts (Figure 3) give duties of
personnel prior te and during ditching. Figure 4
iliustrates the emergency exits and evacuation
routes used during ditching. Figure 5 shows tite
life raft releases.

If possible, use or dump most of the fuel to


lighten the aircrãft and reduce stalling speed.
Eznpty tanks will also keep the aircraft afloat.
Jettison cargo, if possible, te lighten the
aircraft. The landing gear warning light circuit.
breaker should be pulled te prevent the warning
horn from distracting the crew.

DITCHING The following are the standard alarm signais for


SIGNAIJS ditching:

SIX SHORT RINGS PREPARE FOR DITCHING

ONE LONG RING BRACE FOR IMPACT

Instruction will be given by the pilotto don


helmets (if availabi?) ar~d gloves, and te remam
seated with safety belts fastened until the
aircrafthas stopped forward movement. On water
landings, there are nornially two or more water
impacts. The initial impact is (normally) lighter
than the second water impact and the subsequent
impacts (if any) will diminish iii force.

DITCFUNG Ditching equiprnent should be in readiness at ali


EQUIPMENT times when fiying over water. Prior to each
overwater fiight, the piiot will ensure that the
necessary equipment. is aboard, in serviceable.
condition, and stowed in the proper places. If
possibie, seats and safety belts should be provided
in the cargo compartment aft of the wheei wells for
ali personnel on board except for the pilot,
copilot, flight engineer, and, a the pilot’s
discretion, the navigator. The cargo compartmertt
is the safest area with the greatest possibility oE
escape during ditching; therefore, the number ofi
personnel in the fiight station shouid be kept to
a rninimum due to the probability of immediate
flooding of the fiight. station.

DITCHING Refer to Figure 4 for emergency exits. Normaiiy,


EXITS crewmembers in the flight station cornpartment wili
(FLIGHT CREW) use the forward escape hatch for exit after
ditching. Crewmembers in the cargo compartment
wiil use the center or aft escape hatch for exit
after ditching. If cargo permits, the center
escape hatch ladder shouid be instalied prior to
takeoff. If cargo prevents this instaliation, Lhe
personnel in Lhe cargo compartment shouid be
instructed on how to instali this ladder aftej- the
cargo is jettisoned. Ali crewrnembers wiil nornialiy
board the left inboard life raft. When passengers
are carried and the use of addjtionai lHe rafts is
required,basic crewTtiembers wilJ. board the life
raft a.ssigned by the aircraft comniander.

DITCHING Passengers will be briefed on the use of emergency


EXITS equiprnertt and assigned exits prior to flight. They
(PASSENGERS) should be divided into groups corresponding Lo the
capacity of the avaiiabie rafts.

DITCHING
TECHNIQUE
WARNING E
Do not exceed recornmended airspeed.
Rate of descent not to exceed 200
feet per minute (recommended 100
feet per minute). Maintain constant
back pressure on control column.
Under no circumstances should the
airpiane be stalled in, since this
wili result in severe impact and
cause the airplane to nose into the
water.

NORMAL POWER Best results will be obtained by following the


ON DITCHING procedures outlined below:

a. Ditch while power is available. Power will


allow the pilot to choose the spot for ditching and
the most favorable landing position and attitude.

b. Use 100 percent flaps with gear up. Ç [


c. Ditch at 10 knots above stall speed. This wiil
give an approximate angle ofi ditching slightly
above levei flight. Under no circumstances should
the aircraft be stalled in, since this will result
in severe irnpact and cause the aircraft to nose
into the water.

In daylight, it is recommended that the aircraft. be


ditched along the top ofi the sweil, parailei to the
rows of swelis, if the wind does not exceed 30
knots. In high winds, it is recommended that
ditching be conducted upwind to take advantage of
the lowered forward speed. However, it Iaust be
[
remernbered that the possibility of rarnming the nose
into a wave is increased, resulting in fai1ur-~ ofi
the nose of the aircraft and ini~,e’jjate floodi 1 of
the flight station. Also, the:e ts a possibi ty
of striking a teu on a wave crest and nosing n.

PARTIAL POWER When ditching with one or more engines inoperative,


DITCHING the following TECUNIQUE is recommended:

- a. With two engines inoperative on the same side


of the aircrafit, use power on the operative inbcard
engine only.

b. If power is available from the number 2 and 4


engines or the number 1 and 3 engines, considerable
power may be used to control the aircraft.

- c. Use power as required to give flattest


approach.

d. On final approach, it is advisabie to hold


speed 20 knots above stall speed until flareout, at
which time speed will be reduced to 10 knots above
stall speed.

CROSSWIND The basic rules for ditching listed in NORMAL POWER


DITCHING ON DITCHING will still apply in addition to the
following:

a. Keep the wings levei and crab the aircraft to


kill the drift. It may be advantageous to permit
Some drift to maintain a paraliel relationship with
a wave.

b. Land onthe downward side of the swell or wave.

UPWIND The basic rules for ditching listed in NORMAL POWSg


DITCHING ON DITCHINC wiii still apply in addition to the
foliowing:

a. Maintain nose up conditjon. Avojd nose


striking wave face.

b. Touch down irnmediately behirid the crest of a


rising wave. Avoid the face of ti-te wave.

c. Hold nose up after first impact.

NIGHT Night ditching will be conducted with tne aid of
[
DITCHING instrurnents te establish proper attitude of the
aircraft.

a. Make an instrument approach, hoiding airspeed


20 knots above stall speed. At 500 te 700 feet
above the water (using radar altimeter), set up
approximately 200 feet per minute rate ofi descent
and establish an airspeed 10 knots above stall
speed, with fuli flaps.

b. Use landing lights as necessary.

c. Hold wings levei to avoid digging a wing into


the water and cartwheeiing the aircraft.

d. Ditch at 10 knots above stall speed.

•e. Use 100 percent flaps with landing gear up.

ABANDONING Evacuation of the aircraft after ditching shouid be


TI-ÍE AIRPLANE accomplished in àn orderiy manner in the shortest
time possibie. This cannot be done weli without
practice. If the fuselage is dark and filiing with
water, further difficulty can be expected. E
• WARNING
The crew and/or passengers must not
leave ditching positions until it is
• ascertained that the airplane has
stopped forward movement. Serious
injuries can occur 85 the result of
personnel unfastening safety belts
prior to the airplane coming te a
fuli stop.

After it is certain that the atrcraft has come to a


complete stop, additional emergency equipment may
be coliected and distrjbuted to each crewmember.
