TRANSPORT

Transport could be called in for many reasons, air drops, casevacs or transport of equipment/personnel to or from an area of operation. Many of the key words and procedures such as checking in and aborting apply as the same with FJ. 

 Airdrop 

  Airdrops are conducted from Helicopter or Transport aircraft, at different altitudes, for this example it will be a high-altitude Container delivery system of Rations and equipment.
