Aircraft Cargo Handling Supervisors
CMV-22B weight-and-balance work and cargo transfers directly overlap with civilian aircraft load planning and cargo handling.
How to prepare: Practice creating a civilian cargo load plan covering center of gravity, cargo placement, and ground-crew loading instructions.
What the civilian work involves
- Determine the quantity and orientation of cargo, and compute an aircraft's center of gravity.
- Direct ground crews in the loading, unloading, securing, or staging of aircraft cargo or baggage.
- Distribute cargo to maximize use of space.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
- Microsoft Excel
- Cargo tracking system software
