[c] Boeing Flight Attendant Operations Manual

The C-40A has a wingspan of 112 ft. and 7 in. The length of the aircraft is 110 ft and 4 in., with a height of 41 ft. and 2 in. The C-40A has a range of 3,000 nautical miles (3,452.34 statute miles) with up to 121 passengers, or up to 45,000 lbs of cargo with no seats. It has a maximum cruising speed of .82 Mach (about 615 mph) and a ceiling of 41,000 feet. For propulsion the C-40A uses two CFM56-7B turbofan engines capable of producing up to 24,000 lbs of thrust per engine.

Transport Aircraft Commander (TAC):
The aircraft commander shall be in command of the aircraft and is responsible for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.

Transport Second Pilot (T2P) (Copilot) :
The copilot is second in command and is responsible for assisting the aircraft commander in the performance of specific duties and such other duties as may be assigned.

Crew Chief (CC) :
The crew chief is responsible to the aircraft commander for the aircraft inspections, servicing, and normal en route line maintenance. Ensures daily, turnaround, and special inspections are conducted and en-route maintenance is performed per current instructions. On line missions, the crew chief shall occupy the jump seat during takeoffs and landings.

Loadmaster (LM):
The loadmaster is responsible for ground logistics and the supervision of aircraft loading of all cargo, passengers and baggage. The loadmaster will ensure the weight and balance data is prepared for the aircraft commander’s signature prior to takeoff.

Second Loadmaster (2LM) :
The safety and comfort of the passengers are the prime concerns of the 2LM. The 2LM will determine that all miscellaneous and emergency equipment required in the cabin are properly installed or stowed before, during, and after flight.

C-40A emergency evacuation/egress may be accomplished through four entry/service doors and two overwing escape hatches in the passenger configuration. In either the passenger or cargo configurations, the flight deck crew members may evacuate the airplane through two sliding flight deck windows.

C-40A GROUND EVACUATION/EGRESS:
Passenger rig; Primary 2 forward/2 aft exit slides (121 pax seats)

Secondary: 2 overwing exits and 2 flight deck windows

Combi rig: Passengers Primary 2 aft exit slides (cargo/70 pax seats)

Passengers Secondary 2 overwing exits

Flt Crew Primary 2 flight deck windows

Flt Crew Secondary 2 forward exit slides

Cargo rig(crew only): Primary 2 flight deck windows (8 pallets/45k lbs)

Secondary: 2 forward exit slides

C-40A DITCHING EVACUATION/EGRESS (water only)

(Note: When ditching in water the aft exits are NEVER used as they are likely to be under water and water pressure is holding the door closed.)

Passenger rig: Primary 2 overwing/2 forward exits with slides for entry (121 pax seats) into raft and/or added flotation

Secondary: 2 flight deck windows

Combo rig: Passengers Primary 2 overwing exits (cargo/70 pax seats)

Passengers Secondary normally none, unless access to forward exits/slides is possible

Flt Crew Primary: 2 flight deck windows

Flt Crew Secondary: 2 forward exits/slides

Cargo rig : Primary 2 flight deck windows (8 pallets/45k lbs)

Secondary: 2 forward exits/slides

a. Passenger: 121 passengers with 0 pallets
b. Combi : 70/68 passengers with up to 3 pallets of cargo. Total maximum on 3 pallets is 15k lbs minus the weight in forward lower baggage hold IAW combined compartment loading.
c. Cargo: 0 passengers with up to 8 pallets (must factor in weight in lower baggage holds IAW combined compartment loading) Maximum total in the main cargo area is 45k lbs due to the barrier net stress limits.

Ferry/NATOPS Refresher Training (NRT)
Pilot in command or Transport Air Commander (TAC), Copilot (T3P or above)

Functional Check Flight (FCF)
A qualified TAC, Crew Chief (CC), Copilot (T3P or above)

Training Designated Instructor Pilot
Pilot(s) under instruction

All-cargo configuration Transport Pilot in command (TAC)
A Copilot (T3P or above), CC, Load Master (LM)

All other transport missions:

Pilot in command (TAC), Copilot (T3P or above), CC, LM, Transport Safety Specialist (TSS) for each 50 passengers or fraction there of.

***NOTE***

The LM, as senior TSS, satisfies the requirement for an additional TSS when more than 50 passengers are carried. The LM does not fulfill the requirements of a TSS, except in the all-cargo configuration. When more than 100 passengers are carried, the LM and two TSS�s are the minimum required.
