LOAD DISTRIBUTION AND CONSIDERATIONS12-3. Unit commanders and jumpmasters must inspect jumpers to ensure weight and distribution of the load does not interfere with the jumper’s ability to perform a strong, safe exit from an aircraft, or hinder a jumper’s ability to perform emergency procedures.12-4. During planning, leaders at all levels must take into consideration that the total jumper-rigged weight cannot exceed the maximum parachute load limit of 400 pounds (T-11 ATPS or the MC-6). Determining factors should include the following: Individual jumper’s body weight. Weight of the parachute system. Weight of any equipment attached to the jumper. Experience level of the individual jumper. Unit jumper progression program.12-5. Commanders should use all the equipment methods of entry available to them (CDS, door bundles, and so on) to prevent overloading any individual jumper. During planning, leaders at all levels must take into consideration that the static line retrieval system has a maximum weight limit of 400 pounds. The maximum rigged weight of the parachutist cannot exceed 325 pounds for over the ramp operations.Note. The maximum total jumper weight criteria does not preclude the primary jumpmaster of their responsibility to ensure that all jumpers can safely and effectively exit from an aircraft.
