Appendix D
Fabrication of a Field Expedient Static Discharge Wand
D-1. Discharging static electricity is an important step to the overall safety of the hookup team. You can
assemble a field expedient static discharge wand using the following components:
z
Grounding rod, NSN 5975-00-240-3859. This 1/2-inch grounding rod or equivalent is used for
the static discharge wand and grounding rod.
z
Conductor splice, NSN 5975-00-233-9022. The conductor splice clamps the grounding cable to
the wand.
z
Grounding cable, NSN 4010-00-286-2681. If you do not want to order this 1000 foot roll of
cable, contact the nearest petroleum handling or ground power section to obtain a length of
grounding cable.
z
Electrical clip, NSN
5999-00-260-0447. You will receive electrical clips for five static
discharge wands.
z
Rubber hose, NSN 4720-00-277-8985. Order enough of this 5/8-inch inside diameter rubber
hose to cut a 12-inch section for each static discharge wand.
z
Use the following steps to assemble the field expedient static discharge wand:
„ Cut a section of grounding cable approximately 20 feet long. Strip 1 inch of insulation off
both ends of the cable.
„ Cut a 20-inch and a 16-inch section from the generator grounding rod. The 20-inch section
will be the static discharge wand and the 16-inch section will be the grounding rod.
„ Using the conductor splice, clamp one end of the cable to the 20-inch section of rod
approximately 11 inches from the end of the rod (Figure D-1).
GROUNDING ROD (20” IN LENGTH)
CABLE
CLAMP
Figure D-1. Cable Clamped to Rod
„ Slide the 12-inch piece of rubber hose over the cable and grounding rod so that the rod is
approximately 1 inch from the end of the rubber hose. Fill the end of the hose with silicone
sealant to provide insulation protection from the bare end of the rod (Figure D-2). If a rubber
hose is not available, wrap electrical tape or pressure-sensitive tape around the clamp and the
lower portion of the rod so that the tape is approximately 1/2-inch thick.
„ Bend the last two inches of the rod 90 degrees to form a hook to connect to the helicopter
cargo hook (Figure D-3).
„ Sharpen one end of the 16-inch ground rod into a point to make it easier to drive into the
ground.
„ Attach an electrical clip to the other end of the 20-foot cable. Connect the clip to the
grounding rod (Figure D-4).

RUBBER HOSE OR TAPE
Figure D-2. Insulation Around Wall
Figure D-3. Static Discharge Wand and Hook
Figure D-4. Clamp Connected to Grounding Rod
„ Use a multimeter to perform an electrical continuity check between the hook end of the
static discharge wand and the electrical clip on the grounding rod. Isolate and repair or replace
the affected part. Lack of continuity can be a safety hazard to the hookup team.
WARNING
Keep hands away from the bare metal portion of the static
discharge wand when contacting the cargo hook to discharge the
static electricity.
Severe electrical shock can result from
improper static discharge wand operation.
Inspect the wand for serviceability before and after each time you use the wand. Pay particular
attention to any condition that may prevent good continuity, such as corrosion, broken cable,
loose clamp, or broken insulation. Repair as necessary.

Appendix I
Sling Load Inspection Record
INTRODUCTION
I-1. In order to improve sling load safety, the Department of the Army has implemented
inspection procedures for all ARMY equipment being moved by the sling load method of air
delivery. All Army loads will require an inspection by a qualified inspector prior to the arrival of
the supporting aircraft using the Sling Load Inspection Record shown on page I-2.
INSPECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
I-2. Inspectors must meet the following qualifications:
z
Be in the grade of E4 or above
AND
z
Be a graduate of one of the following courses:
„ Pathfinder.
„ Air Assault.
„ Sling Load Inspector Certification.
DISTRIBUTION OF SLING LOAD INSPECTION RECORD
I-3. The Sling Load Inspection Record form may be reproduced locally. The Sling Load Inspection
Record requires three copies. Distribute the form as follows:
z
Copy One - To the supporting aviation unit.
z
Copy Two - Securely taped or tied to the load.
z
Copy Three - To the supported unit.
COMPLETING THE SLING LOAD INSPECTION RECORD
I-4. Procedures for completing the Sling Load Inspection Record are as follows:
z
Block 1 - Supported unit identification.
z
Block 2 - Item description and serial/bumper number.
z
Block 3 - Weight of load.
z
Block 4 - Supporting aviation unit identification.
z
Block 5 - Type of aircraft used.
z
Block 6 - FM used to rig the load.
z
Blocks 7 through 10 - Fill out only blocks that pertain to your load. Persons rigging and
inspecting the load must INITIAL the appropriate blocks.
z
Block 11 - Identifies the supported unit person rigging the load and the date the load was rigged.
z
Block 12 - Identifies the supported unit person inspecting the load and the date the load was
inspected.
z
Remarks - List any deficiencies found in the load.
