Appendix D: Recommended Pre-Engine Start


Checklist for Guardian CDS Load Inspection
1. These recommended procedures are intended to support and where appropriate, augment
the currently required procedures adopted by the user. The procedures outlined below are
not intended in any way to conflict, countermand or replace the approved and authorized
Final Load Inspection Procedures published by the users organization, technical order, or
the requisite equipment manufacturer. Such orders will take priority over recommendations
made in this document.

RECOMMENDED FINAL INSPECTION FOR GUARDIAN LOADS

2. Each Guardian unit will be inspected using the Guardian Assembly Checklist (Appendix A)
prior to the unit being loaded on the aircraft. After Guardian units are loaded on the aircraft
the rigged load must be given a complete and final inspection by a qualified person. The
loadmaster or designated aircrew member should inspect the Guardian containers. The load
inspection should include the following at a minimum:

2.1. Verify serviceability of load securing webbing, straps, hooks and covers.

2.2. Verify Guardian containers are rigged in accordance with applicable technical orders
and flight manuals.

2.3. Inspect forward restraint for correct installation and positioning on the first Guardian
unit (forward) in each row.

2.4. Affix two Buffer Blocks to rear/aft facing box wall of each box except the last box (aft
most) in the stick. Place each of the two Buffer Blocks on the corner of the top edge of
the bottom flap on the aft side of the unit ​(Figure 1)​ to fill the space between adjacent
Guardian units.

Figure 1

Caylym Technologies Page 31 Guardian Assembly Guide


[email protected] AUTHORIZED USE ONLY Version 3.7
+1 (209) 322-9596 October 7, 2019
3. If using a Buffer Stop Assembly (BSA) forward restraint and strap rear restraint:

3.1. Affix one Load Retention Block (LRB) to the front side of the forward most box for each
Guardian unit in the stick. Example: for a stick of eight (8) units, use eight LRBs.
(Figure 2 & 3)​ Invert the LRBs so the larger side of the LRB is the same height as the
BSA restraint surface.

Figure 2 Figure 3

3.2. Affix one Load Retention Block (LRB) to the rear side of aft most box for each Guardian
unit in the stick. ​(Figure 4).​ Example: for a stick of eight (8) units, use eight LRBs. For a
stick of four (4) use four LRBs.

4. If using strap or chain forward and rear restraint:

Affix one Load Retention Block (LRB) to the restraint facing side of the aft most and the
forward most box for each Guardian unit in the stick. ​(Figures 5 & 6).​ Example: for a
stick of eight (8) units, use eight; for a stick of six (6) use six.
