AFRP 190-1- C-- .) Gen. John D. Ryan, Air Force Chief of Staff, recently told chaplains of their responsibility to assist commanders in solving problems involving people. Much of what the Chief of Staff said applies to commanders and supervisors at every level.

Commanders are expected to enforce that standard. I expect that violations of that standard as well as any other standard will result in appropriate action.... "Assumption of command is a heavy responsibility. Today, command may well mean exposure to serious racial problems and the requirement for fast, dynamic solutions. Many times, a considerable amount of personal courage is required. ..

A confirmed or rejection of this of policy equal opportunities by an advertiser will result in the refusal to print advertising from that source. the race, origin or user, or violation Possibly the most dangerous problem associated with the 5 is the blast effect from its engines. It is vital that the area around a taxiing C-- 5 be kept clear of maintenance stands, tool boxes, ground power equipemnt and unprotected people. The reason is that the powerful 5 engines put out enormous amounts of thrust, even at low power settings. At idle power, the wind velocity is 35 MPH 170 feet behind the engines. At breakaway power (the power needed to start the aricraft moving from a dead stop) the blast is 80 MPH, 350 feet from the engines. Should you stand behind the aircraft as it starts its take off the blast will reach 140 MPH, 250 feet behind the engines. Any loose objects or people can get airborne themselves in wind velocities such as these. Other areas demand extra attention. For example, loading and unloading cargo. The has added a new word to the Air Force cargo vocabulary kneeling. The aircraft has the capability of or raising lowering the cargo floor in the level position, or tilted nose down or tail down. Motors lower the main deck from its normal height of 105 inches above ground to only 71 inches in the fully kneeled position. Hill AFB has a plan that is put into effect each time one of these big birds is scheduled to arrive. The plan insures the many activities that are directly involved take all the steps necessary to insure a safe stop for the w orlds biggest airplane. So you see the 5 is not just another pretty face and what you see is not what you get. Instead, there are many considerations that are not outwardly obvious that must be planned for and carried out if the bird is going to operate in and out of Hill efficiently and safely.

Larry Steed, deputy Ogden AMA Safety Officer Have you wondered about the big aircraft that is sometimes parked on the flight line? Don't cross this one off your aircraft until you take a closer recognition list as just another look because this big bird may be the worlds largest aircraft the One might think a visual misidentification is of little importance but that all depends on whether or not your duties involve supporting aircraft or for that matter any operations in the vicinity of the flight line. It can then become of the utmost importance. Why? Because the 5 is being just another airplane. Let's take a quick look and see why. The size of this big bird required a lot of extra care. For example, where do you park it? From wing tip to wing tip and nose to tail requires over an acre of concrete. It is so tall that the eye level is the equivalent of looking out the window of a three story building. Speaking of size this behemoth can hold 49,000 gallons of fuel in it tanks. (How far could you drive your Volkswagon on that?) Now let's look at what it can take to support this bird and turn it around to continue the mission. If it required complete service you would have to provide the 49,000 gallons of fuel. 40 gallons of oil, 100 liters of oxygen, 250 gallons of water, 283 gallons of hydraulic fluid and up to 300 flight lunches for passengers and crew. What about maintenance? Well.there arecertain things that can be done but other things can't be done without special equipment. For example, you can't tow this fully loaded 750.000 pound aircraft without its special 575 HP, 70,000 pound tractor and forty foot 4400 pound tow bar. Also, you probably won't be able to work on the tail section because it requires a special high reach truck. of Defense Department fj (jj inn? jj Salt Lake, 376-551- 8, patronage without regard to - photos in the Hill Top Times are from the Base Photo Lab Branch or other Air Force sources unless noted.
