JAKARTA - Residents of Simpang Jernih, East Aceh Regency, welcomed the red and white boxes named helibox that were parachuted from the plane with joy.
People of all ages, from children, parents, to the elderly, shouted happily welcoming the aid that fell slowly from the air.
The children ran around with laughter, following the direction of the helibox that landed one by one on the field. As soon as they touched the ground, residents immediately surrounded the boxes, celebrating the arrival of the aid.
After that, residents then together opened the helibox. The expression of relief and joy was clearly visible when the logistics aid inside was seen.
In the midst of land access limitations due to disasters, the airdrophelibox became a symbol of the state's presence that reaches even isolated areas.
The commander of the 5th Transportation Supply Battalion (Perbekang) 5 ARY, Lieutenant Colonel CBA Supriyanto, explained that each helibox that was deployed had gone through strict procedures to ensure the safety and feasibility of the aid.
"Every helibox that is deployed has been inspected after being filled, inspected by members, and witnessed by officers. Both before being lifted onto the truck and before being loaded onto the plane. The contents are checked, the ropes and duct tape are ensured to be strong," said Supriyanto, who served as the Commander of the Airdrop Rigger Team at the Air Task Force, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 23.
He explained that the physical helibox was about 73 centimeters high. Meanwhile, the logistics load in it was in the range of 30 centimeters, leaving a cavity at the top of about 35 to 37 centimeters.
"The maximum limit for berathelibox is 5 kilograms. If it is filled to capacity, it can weigh up to 9 kilograms and be at risk of being damaged by the drop. So the contents are not filled to the top. This is what often causes misunderstandings," he added.
The logistics cargo packaged in the form of basic necessities, such as instant noodles, is arranged with technical calculations so that it does not shrink downwards or break when it is released from the plane.
The binding ropes are arranged to form a fan, according to the parachute pattern, to maintain the balance of the helibox during hovering towards the ground.
