Title
Low-cost, low-altitude drop training
A weighted training bundle is loaded at the tail of a C-130J to help aircrews practice low-cost, low altitude combat airdrop. A LCLA airdrop is accomplished by dropping bundles weighing 80 to 500 pounds, with pre-packed expendable parachutes, while a few hundred feet above ground. The low-altitude delivery is more accurate than traditional, higher-altitude airdrop methods and cuts down on stray bundles than can land away from the drop zone.
