APPENDIX A

COMMON AIR MOBILITY COMMAND AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This appendix provides a reference for airlift aircraft standard configurations to meet the mission requirement of the airlifted force and the Air Mobility Command. Only those configurations that are common to your airlift movement are described. All information was extracted from the following AMC regulations:

Information in this appendix is for reference only. If a specific question arises regarding any configuration requirement capability, contact your affiliated ALCS for further guidance.

C-5 CONFIGURATIONS

Because of the unique design of the C-5 aircraft, there are only three configurations to be concerned with. The troop seating is in the upstairs troop compartment which always provides 73 available seats. The standard configurations are as follows:

• CP-1. This configuration offers 36 pallet positions and seats for 73 passengers in the troop compartment. All rollers will be up in this configuration.
• CP- 2. This configuration offers a clean cargo compartment floor for floor-loaded cargo and seats for 73 passengers in the troop compartment. All rollers will be down in this configuration.
• CP-3. This configuration offers a mixed combination of palletized cargo and floor-loaded cargo in the cargo compartment and seats for 73 passengers in the troop compartment. Rollers will be positioned as the cargo dictates.

KC-10 CONFIGURATIONS

AMC currently offers two configurations for troop-cargo movement (Figures A-1 and A-2). Other configurations are available; however, they must be specifically coordinated for with AMC headquarters and affiliated ALCS. Refer to T.O. 1C-10(K)A-9.
