Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024
The number and size of loads to be air-dropped will vary depending on the operation and capabilities of the aircraft used, which will determine the size of the drop zone required. Removal of air-dropped loads from the drop zone requires the use of material handling equipment and vehicles. The operation of this equipment is not covered within this unit.
Work is normally performed as part of a small team under supervision with limited decision making.
This unit covers the competency required to assist with setting up and closing a cargo drop zone capable of receiving container and/or platform air-drop loads from fixed wing aircraft, and clearing items from a cargo drop zone.
