EXAMPLE OF C-27J TIME SENSITIVE MISSION UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO Activity: TIME SENSITIVE AIRDROP A/C Type: C-27J UNIT: 702nd EAS Narrative of Major Events: 0250Z: C-27J Departs Kandahar (OAKN) For Emergency Airdrop. 0400Z: TOT for Emergency Drop, 6 CDS bundles LCLV (All Recovered) 0600Z: C-27J Departs Kandahar with PUC 0627Z: C-27J Arrives in Tarin Kowt and uploads additional PUCs 0745Z: C-27J Arrives at Bagram and delivers PUCs (OAKN) 0900Z: C-27J Arrives at Qalat LZ to move 64 RIP Passengers (multiple trips) Impact: The C-27J executed one Emergency Airdrop ISO SOTF-W! The C-27J was tasked with an emergency water resupply and launched within 10 hours of notice. With expedient and precise planning between the 702 EAS and CJSOTF JLOC SPO, 6 CDS Bundles were rigged and the Emergency Airdrop was completed within 12 hours of mission receipt. After completion of the airdrop the C-27J conducted the time sensitive movement of PUCs, with one of the PUC missions being tasked with less than 24 hours notice. Further demonstrating the flexibility of the C-27J moved 94 troops, 64 of which were RIP.

C-27J Min LZ 45’ X 2400’ C-130 Min LZ 60’ X 3000’ The minimum landing zone (LZ) length and width is determined by C-27J Concept of Operations Annex C. The C-27J has not been included in AFI , Drop Zone and Landing Zone Operations. The C-27J has short field capabilities that have not been tested or incorporated into these manuals. As such, the C-27J must follow the more restrictive C-130J guidelines. Right Size – Right Airframe

11 Pallet Position Equivalent
The US Air Force Air Mobility Division measures aircraft efficiency in the form of Pallet Position Equivalent (PPE) Currently there is no approved doctrine regarding the PPE of the C-27J Measurement is based using a standard 463L Pallet PPE measures efficiency by determining how full an aircraft is per sortie The PPE takes into account cargo and rolling stock, but does not specify passenger count All cargo or rolling stock must equate to a predetermined weight in order to be counted as a pallet position According to AMD, baggage is not considered unless palletized and weighed Due to its unique mission, the C-27J makes rare use of its center-isle seating (Greater Flexibility) 8 seats = 1 PPE (C-27J) versus 12 seats = 1 PPE (C-130) C-27J: 3 pallet maximum versus C-130J: 8 pallet maximum C-27J counts passenger occupancy (8 PAX = 1 PPE) Since FOC PPE C-27J = 1.4 (46% full) versus C-130 (23% full) versus C-130J (18% full)
