CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE.

This technical order provides information and instructions for handling and shipping of Air Force engines. Because of the variations in engines and shipping devices some of the information in this manual is general in nature. When general instructions are given, the intent shall be fulfilled. Lack of specific details shall not constitute authority or permission to deviate from the intent of any instructions. Total compliance with these instructions shall be mandatory upon activities which have physical custody of the engine. The procedures outlined here are based on actual practices which have proved to be both practical and necessary in the protection of propulsion systems.

1.2 APPLICATION.

1.2.1 This technical order applies to all Air Force activities and contractors shipping Air Force engines. Only those devices listed in section III are authorized for shipment of engines without express written permission of the Engine Inventory Management at the responsible ALC.

1.2.2 Airlift trailers, stands and dollies shall be used for air shipment of engines when available. When not available, or as circumstances require, metal or FRP containers may be used. Shipments of metal containers will be allowed after preservation of the fuel system and the container is pressurized in accordance with engine handbooks, TO 2J-1-18 or TO 2R- 1-11.

1.3 PERTINENT DIRECTIVES.

The following directives are important for the proper shipping of Air Force engines.

TO 2J-1-18 Corrosion Control of Jet Engines

TO 2R-1-11 Corrosion Control of Reciprocating Engines

AFMAN 24-204(I) Packaging and Handling of Dangerous Materials for Transportation by Military Aircraft

AFI 24-201 Function and Responsibilities of Transportation Activities

AFJI 24-228 Reporting of Transportation Discrepancies in Shipment

Military standards are referenced throughout this technical order.

1.4 MOVEMENT PLANNING GUIDE.

NOTE

The Transportation Officer should notify trucking companies when ordering trailers that only wood beds and metal bed air ride trailers are allowed to ship Air Force engines.

Many facets must be considered in the selection of the mode of transportation to be used. Some of these are: weather, availability of preferred mode and carrier, distance, required delivery date (RDD), etc. Each shipment will have its own peculiarities, e.g., type of package, dimensions, freight, etc. Shipping activities must therefore plan and manage each and every shipment on its individual requirements. The standard transit time for aircraft jet engines moving within the CONUS is four (4) days. One exception is the required delivery date as reflected in RDD block of shipping document (DD Form 1348- 1), and is a factor to be considered in determining mode selection. This capability provides transportation an area of selection between shipping a specific engine on either an expedited or routine basis and at the same time effect delivery service to satisfy requirements of user or Specialized Repair Activity (SRA). It behooves each and every traffic manager to select a mode and carrier that can and does meet or exceed this criteria. Use of two drivers in conjunction with “exclusive use of vehicle” is authorized when an RDD dictates same. The pertinent Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) agency must be informed of these requirements and decisions. You will challenge MTMC if their routings do not satisfy your requirements and in cases where carrier availability is a problem, alternate carriers should be requested.

1.5 SURFACE TRANSIT GUIDE.

The following transit times are based on an average. Weather, adverse road conditions, and highway traffic congestion are taken into consideration.

1.5.1 Class “A” Carriers.

1.5.1.1 Less than truck load (LTL) - Calculate approximately 300 miles per day maximum. This will be reduced when routes transit metropolitan areas and gateway terminals.

1.5.1.2 Truck load (TL) - Will normally insure expedited movement from carrier’s terminal but not necessarily reduced overall transit time unless exclusive use of vehicle is requested. This enables a serialized seal to be affixed and prevents delay at gateway points, but does not guarantee more than 500 miles transit daily.

1.5.2 Heavy Haulers Specialized Carriers.

1.5.2.1 Less than truck load (LTL) - This mode, with exceptions, can be beneficial from both a monetary and transit time viewpoint. Often a particular carrier will be “dead heading” equipment from point “A” to point “B” and an engine can be destined to a point enroute or at the terminus. Bills of lading shall be annotated “TENDERED AS AN LTL” to insure proper charges are affixed by the carrier.

1.5.2.2 Truck (TL) - This mode normally affords the most expeditious surface transportation. Two drivers with sleeper accommodations will normally insure eight to nine hundred miles transit each twenty-four hours.

1.5.2.3 Expedited service obviously is more costly than normal LTL rates. Each movement must therefore be considered on its own merits. The minimum cost mode should be selected that will deliver aircraft engines to the consignee by delivery date or UMMIPS. Note mileage chart (Figure 1-1).

This chart can be used as a guide to determine the type engine that can be loaded on various types of cargo aircraft.

Dimensions will vary slightly within “TYPE OR AIRCRAFT” due to model.

* Door and Cabin dimensions are reduced in height by four inches on all aircraft equipped with the 463L system.

** This height reduced to 106” by AFT pressure door latches when truck bed loading.
