When no other Air Force personnel are available, the aircraft loadmaster or boom operator can conduct the final inspection. The completed form will indicate to the aircraft loadmaster that the required inspections are completed. No formal aircrew before loading inspection is required if all noted discrepancies are corrected before loading.
