What is the rule for additional HE platforms on a C-130?

The rule for determining the addition to the length of a C-130 for each additional high explosive (HE) platform is to add 400 feet for each platform. This standard is based on the aircraft's operational parameters and the need to ensure safe separation distances when carrying munitions. The addition is made to account for the necessary safety measures and to facilitate proper loading and unloading procedures during aerial operations. Understanding this rule is crucial for jumpmasters and aircrew personnel to maintain safety standards during missions that involve transporting explosive payloads.
