If you do take it on and fly near a hot zone dont let them talk you into low valley approaches as safe.
I'm with National - and THEY NEVER "
talk you into low valley approaches". What an asinine comment.
National Air 747 crash at Kandahar due poor loading
It was not at Kandahar. That was back in 2013 and just like the pax world, SOPS get changed as result of blood spilled. Lots of history of pax aircraft being loaded wrongly, or SOPs weak leaving loading errors un checked. The load taken on board in 2013 was never going to work, and the load master training was not as rigorous as it is today.
If you are going to do it, keep your wits about you and monitor the loads personally.
Another Asinine comment. Thank you for telling us how do do our job.
Not that I feel like engaging with an alarmist ignoramus like yourself, but every load is walked by the pilot with the loadmaster pre takeoff - its called "walking the load".
