Assignment: QUANTITATIVE SKILL APPLICATION
Here are some questions to consider in making your calculations. These will all involve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
QUESTION 1: How many pallets can a C-130J-30 carry with a Normal Load?
QUESTION 2: How many pallets can a C-130J-30 carry with a Maximum Load?
QUESTION 3: How long would a round trip to BASE A and back be (not including the load and refueling time at your base)? For continuous operations, in your deductions and calculations, you would include the 30 minutes it takes to load and refuel the planes at your base.
QUESTION 4: How long would a round trip to BASE B and back be (not including the load and refueling time at your base)?
QUESTION 5: With answers to QUESTIONS 3 and 4 you can deduce HOW LONG it takes for planes to deliver the largest loads possible to BASE A and BASE B and return to your BASE.
QUESTION 6: You can also calculate the maximum number of deliveries the flight crews can make before they take their Crew Rest.
QUESTION 7: You know that deliveries of the high priority pallets will be completed to BASE B before BASE A. You can now calculate how long it will take to deliver ALL HIGH PRIORITY Pallets to Base B.
QUESTION 8: You know that after all deliveries are completed to BASE B, you will have all ten flight crews available for delivery of the remaining pallets to BASE A. You can now calculate how long it will take to deliver the high priority pallets to Base A.
