A24.5. Aircrew Jettison Criteria. For cargo consisting of Class 6.1, PG I, hazard zone A toxic material; Class 2.3,
hazard zone A toxic material; infectious substances; biological agents; or radioactive material (other than excepted
quantities), the jettison criteria are as follows:
-
Must not be jettisoned over land.
-
May not be jettisoned over water unless the cargo, in addition to size criteria, weighs at least 1.6 g/cm3
(100 lbs./ft3) to ensure sinking. Also, the cargo must be jettisoned at least 19.3 kilometers (12 miles)
offshore, and preferably beyond a shelf, in water 100 fathoms (600 ft) or more in depth. The aircraft
commander is given a predeparture briefing on acceptable jettisoning locations based on the above criteria.
When cargo is jettisoned to decrease weight, jettison all other cargo before hazardous cargo.
-
When cargo is leaking and is beyond control of the escort to repair or neutralize, the escort must inform the
aircraft commander. The decision of jettisoning will rest with the aircraft commander. In this instance, the
commander may jettison the cargo over water without regard to weight or depth criteria.
-
When the cargo weighs less than 1.6 g/cm3 (100 lb./ft3) or when size of cargo would not permit inflight
jettisoning, model of aircraft selected for overwater missions must be based on two-engine performance
from equal time point (ETP) to destination. Aircraft performance is based on aircraft remaining airborne
when all cargo except the hazardous cargo is jettisoned.
