KC-135 Module

[David Hayden]

This archived thread asks about the KC-135 module (ID K135 on the 41CL). I found some more info on it.

The KC-135 is a tanker plane used for in-air refueling. The program is used by the Load Master (the person in charge of the payload - fuel, people, etc.) to balance the plane and make sure it can take off and land okay.

I found USAF document 1-1B-50 - Basic Technical order for USAG Aircraft Weight and Balance dated 1 March 2005 (you need this version) and on page 9-2 is a computer generated form that looks suspiciously like a 41C print out.

The program takes over the calculator. Plug in the module and a printer. Turn the calculator off and back on.

To initialize the program, press [SHIFT] ENTER
For Yes/No prompts, press the 0 key for yes and the . key for no.

You can work through the example in the document.

At most prompts, press R/S to stop the program. Then can UPLUG the module (41CL) or just turn the calculator off and unplug the physical module.

Now you can safely load your KC-135!
