Guam
Lonewolf, what's your question and point?
After digging a bit more, the answer to my question looks to be "no, you don't use an operational limit." No big deal. As I mulled over the standard procedures you replied with, I better understand the typical departure under discussion for this mission.
we operate NADP 2 and 1. 2 being standard. 1 would be a good choice in OAIX.
Not sure who "we" is but it doesn't matter. Thanks to our brief discussion, I dug up some standard Boeing procedures that look to be universally applicable. Learned something new today.
Thank you for your patience.
The loading issues are never rule of thumb, the MRAPS require a minimum of 70 straps per unit, the pallet config is standard military, adjusted from a civilian config.
Thanks for that as well.
EDIT: SMT, thank you for the explanation on the loading.
