PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST FOR THE

ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THE

PESTICIDE AERIAL CARGO UNIT (PACU-9)

ONBOARD A UH-1, UH-3 OR BLACKHAWK

HELICOPTER

(NSN: 3740-01-206-9614)

(Note: NSN for reference only, cancelled w/o

replacement)

CONSIDERATIONS DURING

PACU-9 AERIAL OPERATIONS

A. ALTITUDE/NORMAL SWATH WIDTH

COMBINATIONS: Under ideal conditions, a

helicopter flying at 100 feet "Above Ground Level"

(AGL) gives a 400 foot swath; 150 feet AGL gives a

500 foot swath for most operations". Stack"

spraying has been employed at 50 to 500 feet AGL

using the wind to distribute the pesticide over the

target area for distances 1000 feet and beyond.

B. AIR SPEED: Operations are usually run between 70

and 100 Knots Indicated Air Speed (KIAS). Speed

may vary with the type of aircraft and control

measures to be accomplished. Ground speed will be

essentially the same as KIAS for most control

operations. Spraying is accomplished during straight

and level flight, never during turns or hovering

maneuvers.

C. ACREAGE COVERED PER MINUTE: 50 - 100

acres depending upon the pesticide and the

coverage desired.
