4. The RCL boat remains stationary during pickup operations. The aircraft taxis to within 50 to 100 feet (15 or 30 meters) of the RCL boat, playing out a dragline from the left rear door. The dragline is approximately 150 feet (45 meters) in length and has three life jackets attached; one close to the aircraft, a second at midpoint, and the third on the extreme end of the line. The life jackets have small marker lights attached during night operations. The aircraft taxis to the left around the RCL boat, bringing the dragline close enough to be secured. The RCL fastens the line to the boat. Due to the danger of swamping the craft, the RCL does not attempt to pull on the line. Members of the aircrew pull the boat to the door of the aircraft. Should the boat pass the aircraft door and continue toward the front of the aircraft, all personnel in the boat must abandon immediately to avoid being hit by the propeller.
