Phase 2 Flashcards
What are some of the advantages of a sling load
Allows rapid movement of heavy oversize equipment, or emergency supplies to the users
Rapid relocation of supplies to the user
The ability to bypass surface obstacles
Do use of multiple flight routes and landing sites to enhance sustainability and security of ground elements
Support of maneuvering units requirement
Greater moment flexibility for ground commander to accomplish tactical mission

What is the purpose of a sling load
Cargo compartment cannot hold the load
Load exceeds the internal load limitations
Groundcrew must load and unload Cargo at once
LZ conditions prevent aircraft from touching down
What are some of the limitations of sling load
Weight of the load exceeding Aircrafts capability
load instability during flight may restrict Aircrafts airspeed or maneuvering capabilities
Adverse weather or darkness may limit sling load operations
Atmospheric conditions such as (hat) humidity, altitude, temperatures, affects the helicopters left capabilities
Limited number of helicopters available for sling mission
Landing site surface such as dust snow debris limit pilots visibility
Landing site must be increased during hours of darkness or reduced visibility
