5. PERSONNEL AND CARGO TRANSPORTATION
5.1. Transportation of personnel and cargo in cargo compartment
(1) All the loading/unloading operations should be performed on the helicop-
ter in accordance with the present Flight Manual. Positions and duties of
the loading team members as well as the arrangement of cargo and
equipment in the helicopter cargo compartment and their tie-down proce-
dures are set forth by the instructions for aerial transportation of specific
type of equipment.
(2) Loading, tie-down, release and unloading of cargo are performed by
teams of units sending or receiving the cargo.
The teams are briefed on safety precautions and operational procedures
by the Captain or, upon his order, by the Pilot-Navigator.
(3) Loading and arrangement of cargo in the helicopter are supervised by the
Captain, unloading is supervised by the Flight Engineer, the latter being
also responsible for correct and reliable tie-down of cargo.
(4) Before loading the Captain should require from the leader of the team
sending the cargo a bill of lading listing the cargo nomenclature, overall
dimensions and weight of each item. Each cargo item should be marked
with the CG position marks.
5.1.1. Loading of Helicopter
(1) Load bulky cargo items through the cargo door with the use of ramps.
Small cargo items may be loaded through the sliding door located at the
LH side. Before loading open and lock open the cargo doors, adjust the
ramps to a required track of the equipment (cargo on a trolley), check
availability and serviceability of the required hoisting and tie-down equip-
ment.
(2) Before loading the equipment should be placed as close as possible to
the ramps on the aircraft center line. Load the non-self-propelled equip-
ment provided with wheels (cargo on the trolley) by means of the Jlnr-
150M loading winch powered by the ground electric power source or by
the aircraft electrical system with the engines running.
The Jlnr-150M winch is operated by the Flight Engineer.
(3) Load the equipment provided with wheels (cargo on the trolley) which
weight does not exceed 750 kg by means of the Jlnr-150M winch without
a pulley block. Load the equipment which weight is within the limits of 750
to 1500 kg by means of the winch with a two-fold pulley block, at the
weight being within the limits of 1500 to 2500 kg with a four-fold pulley
block, and at the weight being within the limits of 2500 to 3000 kg with a
five-fold pulley block should be used.
Load the self-propelled equipment being self-propelled or by means of
the Jlnr-150M winch.
When loading the tricycle equipment first place one of the ramps in the
central .position under the forward wheel. After the forward wheel is rolled
into the cargo compartment position the ramps at their extreme positions
under the main wheels and continue loading.
(4) Never load the cargo by dragging except for the cases specified in the in-
structions for aerial transportation of specific types of equipment and
cargo.
