The primary problem with this concept is that it is very difficult to detect a developing mid-air collision in bad weather, at night, or head-on. The “big sky” theory is that one doesn't need to worry about avoiding a mid-air collision because the sky is big enough to prevent one. 417 Air Force Inspection and Safety Center. 418 (S/NF) Tanker Tactics in Southeast Asia, 17AD(P) Pamphlet 3/1, 10 Nov 1990. 419 DS/DS Tanker Assessment, p 8-3. 420 Ibid, p 6-5. 421 Ibid, p 6-6. 422 DS/DS Tanker Assessment, p 6-7. 423 Ibid, p 8-3. 424 Ibid, p 8-6. 425 Ibid, p 8-7. 426 Lt Gen Charles A.

Based on EARFLAP reports. 498 Background Paper, “CENTAF Logistics Story,” CENTAF/LG, Apr 1991. 499 Mission Capable (MC) is the term used to describe an aircraft or other type of equipment that is in a condition that would allow it to perform all of its assigned missions without restriction. The numerical values shown in the figure represent the average frequency over time of the aircraft conditions expressed as a percentage of the number of aircraft in the AOR. The Not Mission Capable Supply (NMCS) and Not Mission Capable Maintenance (NMCM) rates represent, respectively, the percentage of time that aircraft were not MC awaiting parts or maintenance actions to be completed. 500 Most of the mobility spares packages that moved forward with the initial aircraft deployments were called war readiness spares kits (WRSK). WRSKs are predetermined and prepackaged spares designed to support deployed units operating at planned wartime activity rates until reliable resupply lines can be established. WRSKs are authorized to units that are designated for mobility tasking in the War and Mobilization Plan, Volume 3 (WMP-3). Other types of spares packages include mission support kits (MSK) which are generally tailored packages of spares designed to support activities not documented in the WMP. 501 AF Regulation 400-24, Directory: sgp -> library sgp -> Sgp country Programme Strategy for op6 sgp -> Itu-d study groups sgp -> Internship with Congressional Campaign Exploratory Committee — Only 4 spots left! sgp -> Using Well Logs in the Petroleum Industry sgp -> Telecommunication development bureau itu-d study groups Download 5.55 Mb.
