13、tion A Mobility Planning 1. How To Use This Pamphlet 1.1. There are four basic parts to this pamphlet: terms and definitions, formulas, planning factors, and examples. Although each of these parts can be individually used, we recommend you review the entire contents to get a full understanding of th
14、e planning process. 1.2. Due to the number of variables involved in every air mobility operation, the planning factors presented are not universally applicable. Instead, they provide order of magnitude approximations in the context of a generic scenario. The use of detailed computer simulation model
15、s is encouraged for extensive calculations. 1.3. This pamphlet only addresses objective planning computations. It does not provide guidance concerning other factors such as environmental and tactical considerations which can impact the mobility operation. Section B Airlift Formulas 2. Number of Carg

Cycle Time = round trip flying time (RTFT) + round trip ground time (RTGT) 7. Closure NOTE: For major wartime operations, we recommend planners
18、use the wartime objective surge UTE rates published in Table 6. For non-mobilized contingencies, we recommend the contingency UTE rates published in Table 6. The computations involved in determining actual UTE rates are quite involved and not necessary for initial gross planning estimates. 8. Fleet
19、Capability Short tons delivered to the theater per day NOTE: This formula is preferred for contingency planning because it accurately relates the variables affecting the deployment of requirements. 9. Fleet Capacity Million ton-miles per day NOTE: Although planners do not commonly use this formula,
20、occasionally we need to convert short ton figures into million ton-miles per day (MTM/D). AMC force structure programmers use MTM/D when funding out-year aircraft purchases and many civilian agencies are accustomed to visualizing our fleet capability in terms of MTM/D. Fleet Capacity is generally mo
21、re optimistic than actual Fleet Capability for a particular contingency. 10. Airfield Throughput Capability (station capability) NOTE: Use the lower of the working, parking, or fuel MOG.

Air Refueling Overview Refer to Table 10, Table 11, and Table 12 for determining the approximate number of tankers required to meet the air refueling requirements for various size fighter/airlift deployments. These tables were constructed using a
23、verage/historical data and will provide a gross estimate of the size and duration of an air refueling operation. If actual mission specifics and data are known, such as aircraft model, configuration, air refueling altitude, airspeed, tanker basing, etc, using the formulas below will provide more acc
24、urate planning estimates. However, this formula does not consider specific air refueling abort reserves and the impact on destination fuel. As stated in the introduction we recommend using computer simulation models whenever feasible. 11.1. Offload Required (per receiver) Distance = total distance f

Fuel Flow = fuel burn rate in lbs/hr Total Fuel = total fuel on board at takeoff Destination Reserve = required fuel reserves at destination 11.

Aeromedical Evacuation Overview Refer to AFI 11-2AE V3 Addenda A for detailed aircraft specific configuration and mission planning. Use the following formulas and data in Table 14 to determine the
27、AE force and capabilities. In the near term, AE will be primarily accomplished using, C-21, C-130, KC-135, or C-17 aircraft. Opportune airlift may be used, keeping the best interest of the patient and crew in mind. When the aeromedical segment (Stage II or Stage III) of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (
28、CRAF) is activated, the B-767 will be the primary means of intertheater AE, with augmentation by military aircraft such as KC-135 and C-17, as necessary. An AE crew consists of two (2) flight nurses and three (3) medical technicians. 12.1. AE Missions (# required per day) Provided by IHSNot for Resa

As an example of how to use the formulas and planning factors in this pamphlet, assume the following scenario. The 10th Mountain
31、Div. out of Ft. Drum, NY, is to deploy to Kathmandu, Nepal, at the foot of the Himalayas, to assist in earthquake relief. The requirement is to move 700 personnel and 800 short tons of cargo. NOTE: The following examples use International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) codes, which are four-char
32、acter alphanumeric code designating each airport around the world and commonly used in flight planning. 13.1. Suitable Airfield 13.1.1. Referring to the Aircraft Airfield Restrictions (Table 1), we see that the B-767 requires a minimum of 6,000 feet of runway and the C-17 requires a minimum of 3,500
33、 feet. Since the airfield at Ft. Drum, Wheeler-Sack AAF, has a runway length of 10,000 feet, it meets the requirements for both aircraft (this assumes adequate runway width). NOTE: Refer to the HQ AMC Airfield Suitability and Restrictions Report (ASRR) or the airfield database (AFD) in AMCs Global D
34、ecision Support System (GDSS) to determine suitability for mobility aircraft (C-5, C-17, C-21, C-130, KC-10, KC-135). If the airfield does not appear in the ASRR/AFD, contact AMC/A3AS and request the airfield be evaluated and added to the database (Airfield.Helpdeskamc.af.mil). AMC/A3AS will provide
35、 prompt feedback and include suitability information in future editions of the ASRR. 13.1.2. Looking in the Kathmandu area, we find Tribhuvan International airport in Kathmandu to have 10,121 feet of runway which, along with the associated taxiways and ramp, is stressed for B-767 aircraft. Therefore
36、, we make our initial plans based on using Wheeler Sack AAF as the onload and Tribhuvan International as the offload. 13.2. Missions Required. Our examples will address only the cargo requirements, however passenger movement would be handled in a similar manner. For all examples to follow, assume we
37、 have 15 C-17s apportioned for our use and we will use crew staging where necessary.

The time required for cargo/PAX to arrive at the offload locat
38、ion including all en route ground times. For this example, the C-17s will depart McGuire (KWRI), fly to Wheeler Sack AAF (KGTB) for onload, then en route stop at Rota (LERT), Dhahran (OEDR), Delhi, (VIDP), and then offload at Tribhuvan (VNKT). Refer to definitions and tables as needed. = active rout
39、e flying time (ARFT) + active route ground time (ARGT) NOTE: First leg from McGuire to Wheeler is inactive as its a positioning leg. Block speeds were interpolated from Table 4. (refer to Table 5.) = 26.55 hours 13.4. Cycle Time. For this example, we calculated round trip flying time (RTFT) and roun
40、d trip ground time (RTGT) using reverse routing except the last leg will be from Rota (LERT) to McGuire (KWRI). Refer to definitions for RTFT and RTGT. Cycle Time = round trip flying time (RTFT) + round trip ground time (RTGT) Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted with
41、out license from IHS-,-,-8 AFPAM10-1403 12 DECEMBER 2011 = 20 hours 13.5. Closure = 3.8 days 13.6. Fleet Capability (short tons delivered to the theater) = 208.8 Stons/day 13.7. Airfield Throughput Capability It is necessary to look at the throughput capability of all airfields associated with a dep
42、loyment, to determine whether any one airfield limits a planned operation. However, for initial planning, the en route locations may be assumed to have a higher throughput capability than the onload and offload locations. For this example, we have used Tribhuvan International and a working MOG of on
43、e narrow body (NB) aircraft. Airfield Throughput Capability (e.g, Tribhuvan) = 282.5 Stons/day (Refer to Table 8.) NOTE: Since the arrival airfield can handle the estimated fleet capability that will be delivered, this calculation is complete. If the fleet capability had exceeded the airfields throu
44、ghput, either the flow would need to be slowed to compensate or the airfields resources increased to handle the airflow. 14. Air Refueling Example. For this example, assume you need to deploy 6 F-15Cs from Langley (KLFI) to Spangdahlem (ETAD). How much fuel and how many tankers (KC-135R) are Provide

Offload Available (per tanker) = 71,848 lbs per tanker 14.3. Tankers required = 380,462 (rounded up) 71,848 = 6 KC-135Rs required 15. Aeromedical Evacuation E
