(a)
At the ten minute time warning, hook up static lines of ARABS
units to be released on this pass. Attach master tie cutter
arming lanyards, and remove the cutter safety pin and flag.
Place the safety pin and flag into the appropriate place in the
Log Record Book Pocket, double checking that the correct
number of safety pin flags are displayed. There should be
three for standard static line operations and four for free fall
operations. Remove all but one tiedown device from the load.
(b)
At the one minute time warning, remove the remaining tiedown
device from the load and assist the loadmasters in moving the
ARABS to the ramp and stabilizing the loads. Double check
the correct routing of static lines. If possible, visually verify
release point, and stand by for release.
