2T271 CDC Practice Test Vol. 2

Pushing pallets, rather than pulling them onto the aircraft, is the best way to load pallets during loading operations. This method allows for better control and maneuverability, reducing the risk of accidents or damage to the pallets or aircraft. Pulling pallets may cause them to become misaligned or unstable, making it more difficult to load them properly. Pushing the pallets ensures a smoother transition onto the aircraft ramp and minimizes the chances of any mishaps during the loading process.

When processing perishable shipments, it is important to review the AMC Form 106 at the beginning of each shift to ensure that re-icing is accomplished as necessary. This is because perishable shipments require proper temperature control to prevent spoilage, and re-icing may be needed to maintain the required temperature during transit. Reviewing the form at the beginning of each shift allows the shipping personnel to assess the current state of the shipment and take appropriate action to maintain its quality and integrity.

The correct answer is "Segregated from other cargo in the terminal." This means that when processing AMC MICAP/VVIP/FSS shipments, the cargo must be stored separately from other cargo in the terminal. This is done to ensure that the material can be easily identified and moved quickly without any confusion or delays. By segregating the cargo, it can be easily accessed and loaded onto trucks or other transportation vehicles without any hindrance from other cargo items.

Before moving the vehicle toward an aircraft during loading operations, vehicle operators will ensure that the required spotters are in place. Spotters play a crucial role in guiding the vehicle and ensuring the safety of the loading process. They help the operator to navigate and avoid any potential hazards or collisions with the aircraft or other equipment. By having the required spotters in place, the vehicle operator can proceed with confidence, knowing that they have the necessary assistance to safely maneuver the vehicle.

Approach shoring is required to reduce the ramp angle a vehicle must travel during on/offloading. This type of shoring is used to create a gradual incline or decline, making it easier for vehicles to access ramps or loading docks. Rolling shoring, sleeper shoring, and parking shoring do not specifically address the need to reduce ramp angles.

During concurrent servicing operations, if a spark occurs when you first ground yourself, it is important to reground yourself periodically during operations. This is because grounding helps to prevent the buildup of static electricity, which can cause sparks and potentially damage sensitive equipment. By regrounding yourself regularly, you can discharge any static electricity that may have accumulated, reducing the risk of sparks and ensuring the safe continuation of the servicing operations.

Based on the information provided, the cargo with TP–1; 999; SET: 25 July 09/1440 GMT would be selected first. This is because TP–1 indicates a higher priority compared to TP–2. Additionally, the cargo with SET: 25 July 09/1440 GMT has the earliest time, indicating that it should be selected first for expedited handling.

Before conducting an ERO (Emergency Response Operation), it is not required to give all passengers the option to deplane if they wish. The load team chief should brief all personnel involved in the ERO operation on the route to and from the aircraft, ensure all load team members have required safety items, and ensure all passengers have required safety items. However, giving passengers the option to deplane is not a necessary requirement for conducting an ERO.

The correct answer is that the load team initially restrains the vehicle both forward and aft. This means that during loading operations, the load team is responsible for securing the vehicle in place by applying restraints in both the forward and aft directions. This ensures that the vehicle does not move or shift during the loading process, providing stability and safety. The driver of the vehicle being loaded must wait inside until the load team has completed this initial restraint process.

Before performing concurrent servicing, all personnel must ground themselves to a suitable grounding point or a bare, unpainted portion of the aircraft. This is important to prevent the buildup of static electricity and discharge, which can potentially cause damage to sensitive electronic components or ignite fuel vapors. Grounding to a suitable grounding point or a bare, unpainted portion of the aircraft ensures that any static electricity is safely discharged to the ground, reducing the risk of accidents or damage during servicing.

Before aircraft departure, if an aircrew member notices a discrepancy with a registration number on a registered mail shipment, they must correct it and generate a new manifest.

The correct answer is "At the closest shift change to 0001 hours local time each day." This means that the inventory and accountability transfer for security and classified shipments should occur at the shift change closest to 0001 hours local time every day. This ensures that the process is done consistently and regularly, allowing for proper tracking and control of the shipments.

The correct answer is to inspect the container to verify the contents. This is important before transferring custody of registered mail on a terminating mission to ensure that the contents are as expected and to prevent any discrepancies or issues during the transfer. By inspecting the container, you can confirm that the contents match the documentation and ensure that everything is in order before handing over custody.

The correct next step when the TCN or pallet ID in the GATES shows an onward mode of "A" for air is to change the onward mode to "L." This indicates that the cargo will be transported via landbridge shipping instead of air.

Snatch blocks are equipment items that can be used in conjunction with a cargo winch to help redirect the cable pull. Snatch blocks are pulley systems that can change the direction of the cable, allowing for easier and more controlled movement of the cargo during loading. This can be particularly useful when the cargo needs to be winched on from certain directions within the aircraft. Bridge plates, stabilizer struts, and ground loading ramps are not specifically designed for redirecting cable pull and would not be as effective in this scenario.

The first step in sealing the container after containerizing registered mail shipments is to tape the container shut and prominently annotate the boxcar seal number, as well as both individuals’ signatures, across the tape. This ensures that the container is securely sealed and provides a clear indication of any tampering or unauthorized access.

According to the question, when securing AA&E shipments for risk category codes I and II during transport, two people are required to accompany the shipment. This means that there should be two individuals present during the transportation process to ensure the security and safety of the shipment.

If you find a discrepancy on a pallet during an air terminal inventory that you cannot correct, the best course of action is to let the appropriate work center know so they can fix it. This ensures that the issue is brought to the attention of the responsible personnel who can take the necessary steps to rectify the discrepancy. It allows for proper communication and coordination within the organization to address and resolve the problem effectively.

Wet ice is acceptable to use when re-icing whole blood shipments. Wet ice refers to regular ice cubes or crushed ice mixed with water. It helps maintain the desired temperature during transportation and prevents the blood from thawing. Dry ice is not suitable as it is too cold and can damage the blood products. Gel-freeze and salted wet ice are not mentioned as acceptable re-icing materials.

Before sealing a container of registered mail, you must place a content listing inside the container for use at the destination station. This content listing helps in identifying the items inside the container and ensures that all items are accounted for during the transportation and delivery process. It is an important document that provides information about the contents of the container and helps in tracking and handling the registered mail accurately.

During ERO operations, it is necessary for the aircraft engines to be in low speed ground idle or reverse thrust only before load team members approach the aircraft. This is important for the safety of the team members and to prevent any accidents or injuries. Using forward thrust or shutting down the engines completely may pose risks and should be avoided during this operation.

The correct answer is L × W × number of skids. This formula is used to determine the shoring requirements for skidded cargo. The length (L) and width (W) of the cargo are multiplied by the number of skids to calculate the necessary shoring support. This formula takes into account both the dimensions of the cargo and the number of skids, providing an accurate calculation for the shoring requirements.

The correct formula to use when determining the shoring requirements for drums with rims is to subtract the square of the inside rim diameter from the square of the outside rim diameter, and then multiply the result by 0.785. This formula takes into account the difference in diameter between the inside and outside rims of the drum, and provides the necessary measurement for shoring.

Before starting loading operations, it is important to release the pallet locks. Failure to do so can cause the pallets to suddenly stop, which can potentially damage the aircraft rail system or injure load team members. Releasing the pallet locks ensures that the pallets can move smoothly during the loading process without any sudden stops or disruptions.

When loading human remains, it is important to prioritize safety and accessibility. Placing the remains in the forward-most available level cargo position ensures that they are easily accessible in case jettisoning becomes necessary. This position also allows for easier handling and movement of the remains if needed. Additionally, by placing the remains in the forward-most position, it ensures that they cannot be jettisoned, further prioritizing their safety.

The correct answer is that before transferring security or classified shipments to someone, you must ensure that the individual is a US military or US civilian and possesses the appropriate level security clearance. This means that the person must be either a member of the US military or a US civilian employee, and they must have the necessary security clearance to handle the shipments. This ensures that only authorized individuals with the proper clearance and authority are granted access to sensitive materials.

The correct answer indicates that if you have received and signed an AMC Form 101, the GATES system will enter a "G" in the special priority field and the phrase "Green sheet as of [the Greenwich Meantime hour and date the request was received] only" in the prime TCMD record and trailer data. This entry is used to designate the shipment as a green sheet.

Before releasing terminating cargo or mail to anyone, regardless of whether they are required to be on an authorization letter or not, it is necessary to obtain signatures from them. This ensures that there is a record of the person who received the cargo or mail, providing accountability and proof of delivery. Obtaining signatures is a common practice in logistics and helps to maintain the integrity of the delivery process.

When preparing a manual manifest, it is important to list the pallet data first. This includes information about the pallets such as their identification numbers, contents, and weight. After listing the pallet data, the loose cargo should be listed in TCN (Transport Control Number) sequence. This means that the loose cargo items should be listed in the order of their TCN numbers, which are unique identifiers for each item. By following this sequence, it becomes easier to track and identify the cargo during transportation and delivery.

During ERO operations, coordination is necessary to ensure the safe offloading of passengers through the crew entrance door. This coordination involves the aircraft commander, who is responsible for the overall operation of the aircraft, the command post, which serves as the central communication hub for coordinating activities, and the ERO functional areas, which are responsible for carrying out specific tasks related to the offloading process. The airfield manager, MOCC, and TACC are not directly involved in the offloading process and therefore do not need to be coordinated with in this specific context.

After the green sheet request is submitted to the ACA (Aircraft Control Authority), the ACA notifies Load Planning.

The correct answer is AF IMT 4080. This form is used for recording and managing the cargo and passengers being loaded onto an aircraft. It provides a standardized format for documenting the weight, balance, and distribution of the load. Using AF IMT 4080 ensures that the load plan is accurate and compliant with regulations. AALPS load plans, Computer Automated Load Manifesting load plans, and DD Form 2131-XX-series load plans may also be used for other purposes, but they are not specifically designed for AMC channel missions.

When conducting an air terminal inventory on loose cargo, you must verify the priority, number of pieces, weight, and cube only. This means that in addition to checking the priority level of the cargo, you need to ensure that the number of pieces, weight, and cube measurements are accurate. The other options mentioned in the question, such as verifying the APOD, TCN, date received, air commodity/special handling code, warehouse location, and configuration, are not necessary for this specific inventory process.

When determining shoring requirements, the use of rolling shoring necessitates the use of parking shoring. This means that if rolling shoring is employed, parking shoring must also be implemented. The other options, bridge shoring, sleeper shoring, and approach shoring, are not mentioned in relation to the use of rolling shoring, indicating that they are not required in this scenario.

When processing AMC MICAP/VVIP/FSS shipments, you have the option to transfer them on a handreceipt basis using GATES or manually produced cargo manifests. This means that you can either use the GATES system or manually create cargo manifests to transfer these shipments. The other options listed, such as using an AMC Form 36 or a DD Form 1387-2, are not mentioned as methods for transferring these specific shipments.

The next step when a USPS employee wants to pick-up some ordinary mail, but you do not recognize him/her, is to ask him/her to present a USPS identification card to verify his/her identity. This is important to ensure that only authorized USPS employees are handling the mail and to prevent any potential security risks or unauthorized access to sensitive information.

To figure out the percent of MAC for your aircraft, you will need the LEMAC (Leading Edge Mean Aerodynamic Chord) and MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) figures. These measurements are essential in determining the balance and distribution of weight on the aircraft. The LEMAC represents the distance from the reference datum to the leading edge of the mean aerodynamic chord, while the MAC represents the average chord length of the wing. By knowing these figures, you can calculate the percentage of MAC for your aircraft, which is crucial for load planning and ensuring proper weight distribution for safe and efficient flight.

After annotating the manifested TCN as a short shipment and listing the correct TCN as an over shipment, the next step is to annotate all copies of the manifest with a statement describing the discrepancy. This is done to document and acknowledge the discrepancy between the manifested TCN and the TCN on the shipment. Both the individual receiving the shipment and the crew member involved should sign the statement to confirm the discrepancy. This ensures that there is a clear record of the discrepancy and that both parties are aware of it.

When determining shoring requirements for a drum with a rim, doubling the thickness of the shoring means multiplying the thickness by 2. Adding it to the outside diameter ensures that the shoring extends beyond the outer edge of the drum. Subtracting it from the inside diameter ensures that the shoring fits snugly inside the drum, without causing any interference. Therefore, adding it to the outside diameter and subtracting it from the inside diameter is the correct approach to determine the shoring requirements for the drum.

When the information on the DD Form 1387-2 is classified, the shipper will complete blocks 3, 4, 5, and 6 only. This indicates that the shipper will provide the necessary classified information in these blocks, while the rest of the blocks on the form will not be completed.

To determine the effects of a piece of shoring 1/2" thick, the first step is to double the thickness of the shoring. This is because doubling the thickness will give an accurate representation of the load-bearing capacity and stability provided by the shoring. By doubling the thickness, it is possible to assess whether the shoring is sufficient to support the weight and prevent any potential collapse or failure.

The planned movement of HR should occur within 18 hours before the TACC takes appropriate measures to expedite onward movement. This means that if the planned movement of HR exceeds 18 hours, the TACC will intervene to ensure that the HR is expedited and moves forward without delay.

When processing palletized green sheet cargo using manual procedures, it is important to properly identify the shipment. The two documents that need to be annotated are the DD Form 1384 and the DD Form 2775. These forms provide essential information about the cargo and help ensure accurate tracking and handling of the shipment. The other options listed do not include the correct combination of forms for annotating the palletized green sheet cargo.

Before releasing the cargo to consignees with a hand-carried release of cargo authorization letter, it is necessary to verify the information by calling the individual's unit. This step ensures that the consignee is authorized to pick up the cargo and helps to prevent unauthorized access or release of the cargo. It allows for confirmation of the consignee's identity and authorization, providing an additional layer of security and accountability in the cargo release process.

When processing an originating AMC MICAP/VVIP/FSS shipment, you must use AMC Form 36 to control and monitor each shipment. This form is specifically designed for this purpose and ensures proper tracking and management of the shipment throughout the process. Using the correct form is crucial to maintain accurate records and ensure efficient handling of the shipment.

The correct answer is operating weight and takeoff fuel weight. When computing an aircraft critical leg ACL, the two numbers that need to be added are the operating weight, which includes the basic weight of the aircraft along with any additional equipment, crew, and passengers, and the takeoff fuel weight, which is the weight of the fuel on board the aircraft at the time of takeoff. These two values combined give the total aircraft weight upon takeoff.

The correct manifest number to assign for the manual manifest in fiscal year 2009, from McGuire AFB, NJ (WRI), to Ramstein AB, Germany (RMS) is WRI 9M 00001.
