Which unit provides load disposition and instructions to aircraft?

• A. Aviation Unit
• B. Receiving Unit
• C. Pilot and Crew Chiefs
• D. Supported Unit

Answer: (D)

The needed load plan and how it should be placed on the aircraft come from the unit that requires the lift—the supported unit. They know exactly what equipment, supplies, and personnel must go, the priority of each item, and any handling or balance constraints. That information forms the load disposition, which tells aircrews where to put each item, how to secure it, and the sequence of loading. The aviation unit then uses that plan to load the aircraft. The receiving unit, pilots, and crew chiefs aren’t the ones who originate the plan; they carry out the loading per the supported unit’s instructions.
