  1. C-130 CHARACTERISTICS

  2. WELCOME • Class starts after video

  3. C-130 Video 1 C-130

  4. Objective • Comprehend the characteristics of a C-130 for loadplanning purposes

  5. Overview • C-130 Hercules • Dimensional Planning Factors • Weight Considerations • Passenger Considerations • Loadmaster Requirements • Configurations

  6. Intra Theater Within a theater of operations (primary mission of the C-130) Inter Theater Between theaters or between the CONUS and theaters C-130 HerculesTypes of Operations

  7. Dimensional Planning FactorsCargo Compartment • Length – 624” (1585 cm) long 612” (1554 cm) usable • Width – 123” (312 cm) wide (Only 105” (267 cm) usable when dual rails are installed) • Height – 108” (274 cm) high Vehicle height is limited to 102” (259 cm)

  8. Dimensional Planning FactorsCargo Ramp Length – 127” (323 cm) long Width – 123” (312 cm) wide • Only 105” (267 cm) usable with dual rails installed)

  9. Weight ConsiderationsVehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Planning ACL 25,000 pounds (11,340 kg) • FS 245 – 257 - NO LOAD ZONE • Do not place cargo directly on Ramp Hinge

  10. No Load Zone FS 245 – 257

  11. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Two 35” (89 cm) wide vehicle treadways extend the length of the cargo floor and ramp • They begin 15” (38 cm) left and right of the centerline of the floor of the aircraft

  12. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Maximum axle weight from FS 257 – 337 and FS 682 – 737 is 6,000 lbs (2722 kg) per axle

  13. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Maximum axle weight from FS 337 – 682 is 13,000 lbs (5897 kg) per axle

  14. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Fuselage stations 737 – 869 • 2,501 – 3,500 lbs (1134 kg – 1588 kg) maximum axle – with nothing else on the ramp • 2,500 lbs (1134 kg) maximum axle(s) – total combination not to exceed 4,664 lbs (2116 kg)

  15. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Maximum axle weight from FS 257 – 737 is 5,000 lbs (2268 kg) • Maximum axle weight from FS 737 – 869 is 1,200 lbs (544 kg)

  16. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Tongue loads • Maximum tongue load from FS 257 – 737 is 2,000 lbs (907 kg) • Maximum tongue load from FS 737 – 869 is 450 lbs (204 kg)

  17. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • The maximum weight planned on the cargo ramp will not exceed 4,664 lbs (2116 kg)

  18. Weight Considerations Vehicles/Non-Powered Equipment • Items planned on the cargo floor should be reduced in height to 102” (259 cm) • Cargo over 102” – 108” (259 cm – 274 cm) require special loading procedures • Vehicles over 102” (259 cm) high, will be driven in • Vehicles on the ramp are limited to a max height of 80” (203 cm)

  19. 463L System

  20. Weight ConsiderationsPallets • C-130 can carry six 463L pallets, five on the cargo floor and one on the cargo ramp • Pallet positions are numbered one through six beginning at the front of the aircraft • Each pallet position has specific weight and profile restrictions

  21. Weight ConsiderationsPallets • Maximum Gross Weights - • Pallet Positions 1 - 4 -- 10,355 lbs (4697 kg) • Pallet Position 5 -- 8,500 lbs (3856 kg) • Pallet Position 6 (Ramp) - 4,664 lbs (2116 kg)

  22. Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Position 1) Cargo may be loaded over the entire usable surface of the pallet to a height of 76” (193 cm)

  23. Any cargo above 76” (193 cm) up to 96” (244 cm) high, must be placed 12” (30 cm) inboard from the edge of the usable surface of the pallet Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Position 1)

  24. Stowage Rack

  25. Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Position 2) • Cargo may be loaded over the entire usable surface of the pallet up to 96 (244 cm) high

  26. Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Positions 3 and 4) • Cargo may be stacked up to 96” (244 cm) high

  27. Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Positions 3 and 4) • Cargo must be set back at least 6” (15 cm) inches from the edge of the usable surface on one 88” (short) side • This will allow access to the rear of the cargo compartment through the wheel well area

  28. Wheel Well Area

  29. Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Position 5) • Cargo may be loaded over the entire usable surface of the pallet up to 96” (244 cm) high

  30. Cargo may be stacked up to 76” (193 cm) high Weight ConsiderationsPallets (Position 6)

  31. 20” 76” Pallet Position 6 • Cargo must be stacked at least 20” (51 cm) in from the edge of the usable surface on one 88” (short) side • Allows access to rear emergency exits and • latrine facilities

  32. Passenger ConsiderationsMaximum Passenger Seating • Max of 90 over land • Max of 74 over water (due to availability of life rafts)

  33. Passenger ConsiderationsSeat Locations • 30 permanently installed seats Loadmaster Seat

  34. Side Wall Seats

  35. Passenger ConsiderationsSeat Locations • 14 Optionally installed wheel well seats

  36. Wheel Well Seats

  37. Passenger ConsiderationsSeat Locations • 48 Optionally installed centerline seats

  38. Centerline Seats

  39. Passenger ConsiderationsSeating Alongside Cargo • Next to palletized cargo: No passengers • Next to non-palletized cargo • Outside The Wheel Well Area • Up to 76” (193 cm) wide – pax on both sides • 76” to 96” (193-244 cm) wide – pax on one side

  40. Passenger ConsiderationsSeating Alongside Cargo cont… • Next to non-palletized cargo • Inside The Wheel Well Area • Up to 52” (132 cm) – pax on both sides • 52” to 72” (132 to 183 cm) – pax on one side • 72” (183 cm) and over – no pax

  41. Loadmaster Requirements • One loadmaster will always be seated in the cargo compartment when passengers are carried • Two loadmasters are required with more than 40 passengers • The number of seats required for the loadmasters will reduce passenger seating

  42. Configurations • C-1: • Clear floor for rolling stock with 30 permanently installed sidewall seats available • C-2: • Roller conveyors installed • Six pallets and no passengers • Sidewall seats may be available if less than six pallets are loaded

  43. Configurations • CP-1: • 44 sidewall seats installed with a baggage pallet on the ramp • Non-palletized cargo can be loaded on the cargo floor

  44. Summary • C-130 Hercules • Dimensional Planning Factors • Weight Considerations • Passenger Considerations • Loadmaster Requirements • Configurations
