The loadmaster (“load”) is responsible for cargo loading, computing weight and balance,
briefing/monitoring or passengers, and operation of cargo compartment airdrop equipment. The
load “owns” the cargo compartment. The loadmaster will be on headset prior to engine/APU
start to clear each engine prior to start and remove or install wheel chocks.
Checklists
On the ground, the pilot initiates all checklists by stating over interphone: “XXXX checklist”
In flight, the pilot flying (PF) initiates all checklists over interphone.
If the aircraft is moving, the flight engineer reads/runs the checklist.
If the aircraft is stopped, the copilot reads/runs the checklist (exception: the flight engineer runs
the STARTING ENGINES checklist).
The checklist is not complete until the crewmember reading/running the checklist states “XXXX
Checks complete.”
During emergencies, it is important that one pilot be designated to exclusively fly the aircraft,
since it is easy for everyone on the flight deck to become distracted running checklists. A
complete set of flight manuals is carried and should be consulted during abnormal situations or
emergencies. The remaining crewmembers not flying the aircraft should follow the guidance in
the flight manual. Any configuration change (engine shutdown) or irreversible action
(disconnecting generators, discharging fire extinguishers) should be coordinated between
applicable crewmembers before accomplishment.
Coordination between crewmembers, normally over interphone, will be established prior to;

Transferring control of the aircraft between pilots

A crew member leaves position or leaves interphone

A crewmember goes on or off oxygen

The pilot performing any critical maneuver, at which time all crewmembers will be secured
in their respective positions.

Changing to a new radio for ATC communications
The interior of the C-130 is noisy and the public address system is not audible with engines or
APU running, so effective interphone use by each crewmember is essential for good crew
coordination. As it is a single channel of communication, interphone should be held to the
minimum required for safe and effective conduct of the mission.
