Q

advantages of sling load (6)

A
  1. allows rapid movement of heavy equipment/ emergency supplies directly to user
  2. rapid relocation of supplies/ equipment
  3. ability to bypass surface obstacles
  4. use of multiple flight routes + landing sites enhances sustainability + security of ground units
  5. establishment of multiple landing sites supports maneuvering unit requirements
  6. greater movement flexibility for ground commander to accomplish tactical mission

Q

limitations of sling load (7)

A
  1. load of weight restricted to A/C’s operating ability
  2. load instability may restrict A/C speed/maneuvering
  3. adverse weather/darkness (low visibility)
