spookychief Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Does anyone know where i can find the written procedure for jacking. we have a new Capt. that would like to know what kinds of surface you can jack on (concrete, asphalt,"temporary metal matting" (i know thats a def NO), the maximum slope angle (as i understand it, it needs to be a flat solid surface.) If anyone can provide any assistance in this it would be helpful. We've looked in the job guide, the 91-100, 21-101, 1c-130A-3...nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaprad Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Pretty much everything is in the 00GE. And asphalt is also out, found that out in Iceland :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Respectfully ask the Cpt. to go to the club and if you need him you'll call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If the surface the acft. is parked on is unstable or soft is there more suitable pavement within reasonable towing distance? If not, consider placing shoring beneath each of the jack pads. Would ensure the bird has minimal fuel. In other words don't jack at max. jacking weight. As Plaprad posted follow instructions in the 00GE. I've succesfully jacked herks on asphalt, with and without shoring, psp, aluminum planking, and dirt. If the surface is anything but optimial recommend shoring, assuming the 00GE doesn't specificily prohibit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Spookychief, I know my first post was not any help, and perhaps my second too. But hopefully it will make you smile a bit. Know this is a stressfull time for you and your crew. Hopefully the 00GE provides the guidance you are looking for. If not, use good judgement based on your experience. And if you are not comfortable with how it's going just stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INS/Dopplertroop Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 You may want to send your Captain over to QA. Of course, they (QA) may wonder how you're jacking without tech data to begin with. Sorry if the "old school" is showing. But anyway, they should have the answer or know where to get it.

spookychief Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Respectfully ask the Cpt. to go to the club and if you need him you'll call. HAHA! Everyone got a kick outta that. Thanks for all the suggestions. We are actually downrange at the moment. The reason I asked is because that Capt. is new just got over and wanted some written proof about where and why or why we cant jack. We all, including our supervision agree wholeheartedly with your suggestion for him. We'll take these suggestions and see what we can do...or just jack like everyone else on the ramp...you know the normal way. Thanks again!

Combat King Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The answer will come from an Airfield Manager (AM). We just arrived to a new location and had all the sampling done on the concrete and asphalt surfaces. Drilling and crush tests have to be performed. The nearest Air Force AM will know the reference.

bischoffm Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I would never full jack on asphalt first of all next the slope max if I remember right is 2.5 %. If unsure about the surface you can always put steel plate larger than the jack pads under them to make the footprint larger. The slope and field condition was in the 1C-130A-2-3CL-1(I think). Currently nothing in the books to prevent jacking for any reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
