UNSAFE CONDITIONS OUTSIDE THE AIRCRAFT10-113. If the JM observes any unsafe conditions outside the aircraft, they notify the loadmaster by a preplanned hand-and-arm signal (for example, a cutting motion across the throat) that a NO DROP situation exists for this pass.10-114. Once the JM makes their final clear to the rear outside safety check: The JM removes the trail foot from the jump platform and plants the foot inside the cargo compartment. The JM will then release the paratroop door with the lead hand. Rotates into the aircraft facing the jumpers and covers the rip cord handle with their trail hand. The PJM and AJM make eye-to-eye contact and give each other a thumbs up signal, indicating there are no unsafe conditions outside the aircraft, and they are ready to exit personnel. The JMs then release the trail edge of the door, take a step forward to the lead edge of the door, and the PJM issues the eighth jump command of “STAND BY” to their stick of jumpers.Note. The AJM waits and observes the actions in the PJMs door. When they spot the last three jumpers in the vicinity of the paratroop door of the PJMs stick, they face their jumpers and issue the jump command of “STAND BY.” Each JM will then reach out with the trail hand and secure a proper bight in their USLM. The JM should then protect their rip cord handle with the nonstatic line hand. The AJM ensures their eyes are on the PJM before taking control of their USLM by looking over or under either shoulder. The safety returns control of the JMs USLM to the JM by forming it into a small bight. The safety then assumes a position bisecting the trail edge of the paratroop door, ensuring they do not impede the flow of jumpers. The safety receives the first jumper’s USLM with their lead hand and secures it with their trail hand by pinning it against the intermediate anchor line support bracket and prepares to control the next jumper’s USLM with the lead hand.Note. The placement of the jump caution lights on the trail-edge or aft of the paratroop doors may be difficult to spot and can cause the jumpmaster to take their eyes off the jumpers exiting the aircraft.
