service members.
1. What is the minimum weight for any sling load to fly?
• Answer✅: 500 lbs
• Rationale: A minimum weight of 500 lbs ensures that the load remains stable
during flight and does not buffet or oscillate dangerously due to helicopter rotor
wash.
2. What is the hook capacity of the UH-60L/M?
• Answer✅: 9,000 lbs
• Rationale: The upgraded cargo hook on the UH-60L and UH-60M models is
rated for 9,000 lbs, an increase from older legacy models.
3. What are the three types of lacing ropes you can use with the A-22 cargo bag?
• Answer✅: Type III nylon, 3/8 inch hemp rope, 7/16 in nylon rope
• Rationale: These three specific rope types meet the strict strength and material
requirements necessary to secure the A-22 cargo bag's flap cover assemblies.
4. What are the factors of in-flight stability?
• Answer✅: Humidity, Altitude and Temperature
• Rationale: Humidity, altitude, and temperature directly dictate air density,
which dramatically influences both aircraft lift performance and load aerodynamics.
5. What reference material covers single point rigging procedures?
• Answer✅: TM 4-48.10
• Rationale: Technical Manual (TM) 4-48.10 is the official joint regulation
detailing authorized configurations for single-point sling load deployments.
6. What is the rank requirement for a qualified sling load inspector?
• Answer✅: SPC or above
• Rationale: Personnel must hold the rank of Specialist (E-4) or higher to accept
legal and safety accountability when signing off on an inspection form.
7. What is the diameter of the 10k apex pin portion?
• Answer✅: 1 1/8 in
