This Air Force Instruction (AFI) provides operational guidelines and restrictions for MC-130J aircraft. It is a compilation of information from aircraft flight manuals, Flight Information Publications (FLIP) and other Air Force directives, and is an original source document for many areas. This instruction is regulatory in nature and takes precedence over guidance in Air Force Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (AFTTP). Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Standardization/Evaluation (AFSOC/A3V) has overall responsibility for the administration of this volume.
