Advantages of Sling Load

Back 5

1. allows rapid movement of heavy, oversized equipment, oremergency supplies directly to the user
2. the rapid relocation of supplies and equipment
3. the ability to bypass surface obstacles
4. the use of multiple flight routes an dlanding sites to enhance sustainability and security of gorund units
5. the establishment of multippellanding sites to support the maneuvering unit requrements
6. greater movement flexibility for the ground commander to accomplish the tactical mission.

Front 6

Limitations of Sling Load

Back 6

1. the weight of the load is restricted to the aircraft's operation capability.
2. load instability during flight may restrict aircraft air speed or maneuvering capabilitites.
3. adverse weather and darkness (low visibility) may limite sling load operations.
4. atmospheric condistion (pressure, altitude, temperature, and winds) affect the helicopter's lift capacity.
5. a limited number of helicopters are available for sling load missions.
6. landing site surface condistion may restrict helicopter operation. Loose debris, dust, and snow are safety hazards that also limit pilot visibility.
7. landing site must be increased during the housrs of darkness or reduced visibility to allow the pilot more room to maneuver.
