<p>A <b>loadmaster</b> is an <a href="Aircrew" title="Aircrew">aircrew</a> member on <a href="Military_transport_aircraft" title="Military transport aircraft">military transport aircraft</a> or <a href="Civilian_aircraft" class="mw-redirect" title="Civilian aircraft">civilian aircraft</a> (with cargo ramp) tasked with the safe loading, transport and unloading of aerial cargoes. Loadmasters serve in the militaries and civilian airlines of many nations.

<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Duties">Duties</h2></div>
<p>The Loadmaster role involves complex mathematical and engineering calculations to ensure aircraft balance and safety throughout a flight. Loadmasters utilize physics, moments, engineering formulas, charts, graphs, and heavily applied basic algebra and trigonometry mathematics to determine the proper placement of cargo and passengers, ensuring the aircraft remains within permissible center of gravity limits. These skilled and certified weight and balance planners act as aviation engineering technicians (devoid of this title), with many holding an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Aviation Operations, which provides the foundational knowledge necessary for this technical job. While not all loadmasters officially obtain their AAS degree, every qualified loadmaster who earns their wings and completes Loadmaster School is awarded 45 accredited Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) credits toward the AAS. To complete the degree, loadmasters only need to take five elective classes at either the CCAF or any accredited university or community college.
</p><p>Beyond basic planning, loadmasters must ensure that cargo is placed in such a way as to prevent overloading sensitive sections of the airframe and cargo floor. Unusual cargo may require special equipment to be loaded safely aboard the aircraft, which can limit the feasible placement of other cargo. Tactically, loadmasters play a critical role in combat readiness as they are responsible for determining the load order of aircraft so that more tactically important material (e.g., ammunition) is off-loaded first and therefore ready to deploy faster than other support items. This is especially crucial at forward operating bases.
</p><p>While the loadmaster may physically load the aircraft, their primary responsibility is to supervise loading crews and procedures. Once positioned aboard the aircraft, the loadmaster ensures that cargo is properly secured, as an unexpected shift of the load can cause serious handling problems for the aircraft. Chains, straps, and integrated cargo locks are among the most common tools used to secure cargo. Because cargo may shift during abrupt maneuvers, the loadmaster must determine the appropriate types, quantity, and placement of cargo restraints to prevent such occurrences.
</p><p>Many loadmasters are also required to be qualified for "aerial delivery" of paratroops or cargo by parachute. Compared to the relatively routine transportation of cargo, airdrops are a highly technical and potentially dangerous undertaking. In some situations, the most effective way to resupply ground troops is by aerial delivery of equipment, ammunition, food, and medical supplies. Many military victories have been dependent in large part upon these aerial deliveries.
</p><p>Cargo helicopter loadmasters also provide aircraft clearance information and direct pilots to safe positions when landing and taking off.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Development,_early_1940s,_and_WWII">Development, early 1940s, and WWII</h3></div>
<p>Although the aircraft loadmaster career field was not formally established by the US Air Force until 1953, duties eventually assumed by loadmasters began early in World War II when laundry personnel assigned to Air Corps quartermaster units began flying on troop carrier transports in the Australia and New Guinea, later in the China-Burma-India area of operations, to eject cargo bundles they have previously prepared for airdrop from the doors over drop zones. By 1944 the IX Troop Carrier Command in Europe included personnel designated as "dropmasters" in its troop carrier squadrons. Also in 1944 the Air Transport Command began assigning enlisted men, most of whom had been in training for aircrew duty in other fields, including pilots, navigators and bombardiers, as "flight clerks." The first flight clerks were assigned to special flights known as "Red Ball" which were set up to deliver crucial aircraft parts to ATC units in India assigned to the India-China Ferry. By the end of the war, flight clerks were flying on most four-engine transports to be responsible for cargo manifests and take care of passengers. Weight and balance computation does not appear to have initially been one of their duties, although it has been associated with the loadmaster career field since it was established. They were given the MOS 2967 - Flight Traffic Clerk. The new MOS was obviously an outgrowth of the 967 MOS, which had been given to men assigned to air cargo units as air traffic specialists.
</p><p>During <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, aircraft were initially loaded haphazardly, with ground personnel piling as much cargo into an airplane as possible, which often led to weight and balance problems. To alleviate the situation, air terminal squadrons were set up by the troop carrier wings overseas and, after the establishment of the Air Transport Command, at air terminals in the United States. Officers, pilots and navigators, were trained to perform weight and balance calculations and became responsible for load planning. Aerial engineers on bombers and four-engine transports were also trained in weight and balance calculations using special slide rules developed for each airplane and commonly known as "slipsticks".

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Late_1940s,_Korean_War,_and_the_1950s">Late 1940s, Korean War, and the 1950s</h3></div>
<p>The term "loadmaster" is believed to have been created by the <a href="Douglas_Aircraft_Company" title="Douglas Aircraft Company">Douglas Aircraft Company</a>, because the first known use of the term appears in the flight manuals for the <a href="C-124_Globemaster_II" class="mw-redirect" title="C-124 Globemaster II">C-124 Globemaster II</a> aircraft in the late 1940s, the largest <a href="Piston-engine" class="mw-redirect" title="Piston-engine">piston-engine</a> transport aircraft in the US inventory at the time.
</p><p>A <a href="Fixed-wing" class="mw-redirect" title="Fixed-wing">fixed-wing</a> aircraft is supported in flight only by its wing(s). For an aircraft to become and remain airborne, the wing must move through the air at a specified "<a href="Angle_of_attack" title="Angle of attack">angle of attack</a>". To assure that the wing moves through the air at the proper angle of attack, the aircraft's <a href="Center_of_gravity" class="mw-redirect" title="Center of gravity">center of gravity</a> must fall within a range specified by the aircraft's designers. An aircraft that is too nose-heavy or too tail-heavy will not fly properly, because the angle of attack is affected adversely. This can destroy lift, and cause a <a href="Stall_(flight)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stall (flight)">stall</a> in certain maneuvers.
</p><p>The center of gravity of a transport aircraft is a function of a number of factors: the weight of the empty aircraft (the so-called "basic weight"), the weight of the fuel load (usually carried only in the wings), the weight of the cargo and <a href="Passenger" title="Passenger">passengers</a>, and the weight of the crew, and the positions of each of these factors. The weight of each of these factors is known before a flight. What varies from flight to flight is not only the weight of any or all of these factors, but the position of such factors as fuel, passengers and cargo. The weight of each of these factors is converted into a <a href="Moment_(physics)" title="Moment (physics)">moment</a> by multiplying the weight of each item times its distance from a reference point which was established when the aircraft was designed. The sum of all moments is then divided by the sum of all weights and the result is the "center of gravity" for the aircraft with crew, fuel, cargo and passengers aboard. This center of gravity must be within a range specified by the designers. Furthermore, as fuel is burned off during flight the center of gravity changes continually, so that the aircraft becomes either more nose-heavy or more tail-heavy as the flight continues. This must be taken into account when the aircraft is loaded. An aircraft which was "within limits" on takeoff could, in the course of a flight, become "out of limits" because of fuel burnoff.
</p><p>Throughout the 1950s, loadmasters in troop carrier units were assigned primarily to <a href="Aerial_port_squadron" title="Aerial port squadron">aerial port squadrons</a>. In the Military Air Transport Service, they were assigned to air transport squadrons and flew on missions when cargo was carried. MATS loadmasters were considered cabin crewmembers rather than part of the flight crew and were not afforded crew rest as were members of the cockpit crew.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1960s,_the_Vietnam_War,_and_1970s">1960s, the Vietnam War, and 1970s</h3></div>
<p>In the early 1960s with the advent of the <a href="Lockheed_C-130_Hercules" title="Lockheed C-130 Hercules">Lockheed C-130 Hercules</a> and the increasing role of troop carrier transports in Southeast Asia, loadmasters were reassigned from aerial port units to troop carrier squadrons where they assumed duties previously assigned to scanners and became part of the flight crew. Loadmasters became extremely important in the harsh conditions of Southeast Asia, where troop carrier aircraft operated into <a href="Forward_airfield" class="mw-redirect" title="Forward airfield">forward airfields</a> that were often under fire, especially after the Tet Offensive of 1968 when soldiers and Marines began calling <a href="Fairchild_C-123_Provider" title="Fairchild C-123 Provider">C-123s</a> and C-130s "mortar magnets." The loadmaster's task was to discharge the load as quickly as possible so the airplane could get off the ground to avoid incoming rocket and mortar fire. Loadmasters were also trained to drop flares and leaflets, and to operate retrieval equipment used in special operations aircraft.
</p><p>In 1964, MATS became the Military Airlift Command (MAC) and assumed more of an operational role. Loadmasters, often first-term airmen, continued the previous role, but were also trained for tactical operations, particularly aerial delivery of troops and cargo from <a href="Lockheed_C-141_Starlifter" title="Lockheed C-141 Starlifter">C-141s</a>. When the gigantic <a href="Lockheed_C-5_Galaxy" title="Lockheed C-5 Galaxy">C-5A</a> entered service, the loadmaster field became more technical as loadmasters became responsible for operating complex systems to operate the hydraulic systems that operated the forward and aft cargo doors and to kneel the airplane for loading and unloading.
</p><p>The <a href="Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> also led to the assignment of loadmasters to Airlift Control Elements, commonly known as ALCE (aka TALCE when deployed), where they were responsible for planning loads at forward locations with Army and Marine Corps units.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1980s_and_after">1980s and after</h3></div>
<p>Until the 1980s, loadmasters were found primarily within the military, but as civilian airlines became more involved in air freight operations with large airplanes, particularly, the <a href="Boeing_747" title="Boeing 747">Boeing 747</a>, many companies began using loadmasters on flights where complex cargo loads were carried.
