Thanks Oldog, the particular regs for 121 and 135 had escaped me when I was trying to find reference.

Some AMF pilots have previously done that type of work, and some are currently overseas flying SAR missions.

We have quite a few fellow AMF'ers flying 1900s, Metros, Casas, etc over in the Sandbox for Dynamic, Dyncorp, AAR, etc.

A B1900 AMF guy based out of SEA I met recently told me about some runs having to haul some type of radiation emitting medical equipment?? He told me the company tells the pilots simply to "make sure its loaded as far aft as possible." Has anybody else on here heard of this or any other hazardous type of cargo being hauled at AMF?

Yup, with bull semen. They're told to do the same thing. Put as far aft as possible.

I flew these runs almost exclusively for over a year in the 1900 and the Metro. Its slightly more complicated than "make sure its loaded as far aft as possible." AMF holds an exception that allows them to carry more than the normally allowable amount of radioactive material. Loading aft isn't always an option when hauling 4000 pounds of radiopharm materials. Whether this is dangerous or not I can't speak for as I'm not a scientist, but I don't know of anyone that's claimed to have been harmed flying the stuff. I can say that its done legally and all the proper precautions are taken. If you work for AMF you will get your share of flying odd things. I have buddies that have flown everything from live dolphins to Michael Vick's bulldogs. And yes, Bull jizz isn't out of the question...

Thanks for the info 008. What kind of precautions do they take exactly? If it was harmful to the pilot I would think it wouldn't show up right away but 10 or so years down the road in some form of cancer wouldn't it? And by then it would be hard to say what exactly caused it.

I wold have no problem hauling bull jiz, dolphins, giraffes, lions or any other odd thing but I don't think I would want 4000lbs of radioactive material sitting right behind me for 3 hour stretches of time, 5 days a week, every week. Is there any way to make sure you don't get those particular runs? Is SEA the only base that has them?
