SCOPE
This manual is one of a series of manuals for aviation and ground personnel who perform helicopter sling load
missions ashore or aboard ship. Other manuals in this series are FM 4-20.197(FM 10-450-3)/MCRP 4-11.3E,
VOL I/NWP 3-04.11/AFMAN (I) 11-223, VOL I/COMDTINST M13482.2B and FM 4-20.198/MCRP 4-
11.3E, VOL II/NWP 3-04.12/AFMAN (I) 11-223, VOL II/COMDTINST M13482.3B.
These manuals are a coordinated effort of the US Army, US Marine Corps, US Navy, US Air Force, and US
Coast Guard. All services participate in the sling load certification program begun by the Army in 1984. These
manuals include standardized rigging procedures and other information from that program. Chapters 2 through
13 contain rigging procedures for dual-point loads which have been certified for sling load. Chapter 14
contains rigging procedures which have not been certified but have demonstrated acceptable static lift and flight
characteristics during a flight test.
Efforts were made to standardize ground crew and hookup procedures and terminology. Where service-unique
requirements apply to an entire chapter or body of text, the service initials are at the beginning of the chapter or
text. Otherwise the initials are at the end of the applicable sentence.
Rigging equipment and procedures described in this manual may not be authorized for all aircraft or services
because of equipment or service restrictions.
This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the

Chapter 1
Fundamental Principles of Sling Load
INTRODUCTION
1-1. This chapter contains general information about certification for helicopter sling load and explains
the role of the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering
Agency (SDDCTEA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) sling load certification authority. This
authority rests with the US Army Natick Soldier Center (NSC). This chapter also explains the information
contained in the equipment rigging procedures and gives some general rigging instructions.
CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS OF SLING LOAD
1-2.
All sling loads are classified under one of the following definitions:
z
Certified Sling Loads. Certified sling loads are those items of equipment and their associated
rigging procedures which have completed the evaluation and testing required by the US Army
Natick Soldier Center (NSC) for sling load certification. These rigging procedures are in
Chapters 2 through 13. Only certified sling loads are authorized for the Marine Corps. The
following restrictions apply for dual-point sling load certification to remain in effect:
The load must be within the lifting capability of the desired helicopter model and not
exceed the rated capacity of the sling set being used.
The load shall be rigged in accordance with the certified dual-point rigging procedure.
Failure to rig the load exactly as directed by the certified dual-point rigging procedure creates a
unique load.
The maximum tested stable airspeed (straight and level flight determined during one flight
test) specified for the load in the applicability section of the rigging procedure or in appendix
C of this manual is a recommendation and not a restriction, unless so stated.
Changes or modifications to load characteristics (weight, model, national stock number
(NSN), accompanying load, structure of items etc.) creates a unique load.
This certification does not apply to helicopters of different designations (for example, CH-
47 verses CH-53E helicopter) because of possible differences in hook spacing, dynamic
vibration, helicopter/load mass differential, and rotor wash pattern.
Note. When carrying loads at weights close to the aircraft hook limitations, close coordination
with the aviation unit is required
z
Suitable Sling Loads. Suitable sling loads are those items of equipment and their associated
rigging procedures that have not been certified but have demonstrated acceptable static lift and
flight characteristics during a flight test. In most cases these loads were not pull tested in
accordance with MIL- STD-913, but are known loads which have been flown without incident
for years and which NSC considers to be proven safe. These rigging procedures are in Chapter
14.
z
Unique Sling Loads. Unique loads are equipment carried on a one time or low-frequency basis,
such as telephone poles, artillery targets, or barrier material. The lack of sling load certification
in itself does not preclude a commander from carrying a unique load. Due to the lack of rigging
procedures, unique loads should be considered high risk loads. Each service is responsible for
determining its policy on carrying unique loads.
(USA) The movement of unique loads

Chapter 1
should be approved by the high risk approving authority. The name and rank of the
approving authority should be printed in the bottom right corner of the remarks block on DA
Form 7382-R, Sling Load Inspection Record. Only the most experienced personnel should
attempt to rig and inspect a unique load. When possible static lift the load prior to flight.
z
Prohibited Sling Loads. Prohibited sling loads are items of equipment that are prohibited from
sling loading as determined by each service. These loads have been denied sling load
certification and are a safety hazard if carried. They have either structural deficiencies or have
exhibited unstable flight characteristics during flight testing. Each service will identify these
loads and transmit this information by separate list. Contact your service point of contact
identified in the Preface if you have any questions regarding the classification of a particular
load.
CERTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR HELICOPTER SLING LOAD
1-3. Certification for sling load assures the user that the item has met minimum standards.
z
Objective. The objective of sling load certification is to assure the user that the
equipment being transported can withstand the stresses of a sling load flight
environment. Certification for sling load assures the user that the item has met minimum
standards for structural integrity and that the associated rigging procedures have been developed
specifically for that item.
z
Responsibilities. Within the US Army, the SDDCTEA is responsible for transportability
approval of developmental equipment. Within the DOD, NSC is the lead activity responsible
for providing sling load certification and rigging procedures for military equipment. When an
item is certified for sling load, it means that NSC, in cooperation with various test activities, has:
Conducted an engineering analysis of the load and lifting provisions for structural
adequacy during sling loading.
Verified that the lift provisions meet the strength requirements of the applicable military
standard by means of proof load testing.
Developed and/or validated sling load rigging procedures through static lift testing.
Evaluated flight reports and determined that the particular load meets acceptable flight
characteristics with the type helicopter flown during the flight test.
Issued a statement of sling load certification for the particular load, including load
configuration(s), weight(s), types of helicopter(s), and maximum tested stable airspeed
(straight and level flight as attained during the one flight evaluation). Certification is valid
only for the conditions specified in the rigging procedures.
REQUESTS FOR SLING LOAD CERTIFICATION
1-4. Each service headquarters must designate, request, and prioritize the fielded equipment to be
evaluated by NSC for sling load certification. Individual units can request sling load certification for
fielded equipment through the appropriate service agency which will add the item to the prioritized list.
The NSC will evaluate the equipment on a priority basis. Dual-point loads cannot be certified for dual-
point lift based on previously certified dual-point rigging procedures because of the difference in dual hook
helicopters, such as the distance between the cargo hooks. Rigging procedures for dual-point loads must
be developed and/or approved by NSC before the evaluation flight. The following agencies are
responsible for their branch of service:

Fundamental Principles of Sling Load
UNIQUE ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT OR OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS
1-5. Helicopter sling loading of unique items, due to operational requirements, will be at the discretion of
the commander. Equipment not listed in this manual should be static lifted (when possible) by a crane to
determine proper rigging and stability characteristics. Personnel thoroughly familiar with sling load
rigging procedures should assist in the static lift testing. Flight evaluating may be conducted after a
satisfactory static rigging configuration has been determined.
Note: Low density equipment with low weight and large surface area (flat surfaces), such as
shelters, empty trailers, pallet loads, boat shaped items, and empty fuel or water drums, are
likely to become extremely unstable when flown during sling load operations, even at low
airspeeds, and should be flown with extreme caution.
EQUIPMENT RIGGING PROCEDURES
1-6. This section explains the information that is contained in the rigging procedures for each load.
Chapters 2 through 13 contain the rigging procedures for certified dual-point loads and Chapter 14
contains the rigging procedures for suitable dual-point loads.
z
Applicability Paragraph. The applicability paragraph states whether a load is “certified” or
“suitable” for sling load and the types of helicopters. The maximum tested stable airspeed is
listed in Appendix C. For certified loads, this airspeed is the maximum airspeed attained by the
helicopter during the evaluation flight before the load became unstable or before the aircraft
power requirements were exceeded. For suitable loads, the maximum recommended airspeed is
based on previous experience with this helicopter/load combination. For either certified or
suitable loads, the airspeed listed is a recommendation and not a restriction, unless so
stated. The aircrew should closely monitor the load during the flight, especially if the
helicopter exceeds the recommended airspeed.
z
Load Description. The load description paragraph identifies the load, model, national stock
number (NSN) or other identification, and the weight of the load for certification.
The actual weight of the equipment may vary somewhat from the actual rigged weight
during the flight evaluation due to equipment modifications, fuel, equipment added to the load,
or different models of the same item. The load weight on the equipment data plate or in the
operator’s manual takes precedence over the load weight in this manual. Weigh the load if
there is any doubt about its actual weight. If the load weight exceeds the weight listed in the
load description paragraph, the load becomes a unique load. Contact your service point of
contact if you have any questions about the load description or weight.
Equipment such as cargo trailers and cargo trucks contain descriptions of the allowable
additional cargo weight. Do not exceed the fully loaded weight. Some trailers become
extremely unstable at low weights; therefore, a minimum weight is identified. If your trailer is
below that weight, add more cargo or dummy weight as close to the center of the trailer as
possible until you reach the minimum weight.
z
Preparation. The preparation steps are intended to reduce the possibility of damage to the
equipment caused by sling leg entanglement during the hookup and lift-off operation or by wind
resistance encountered during the flight. Since these preparation steps are not directive in
nature, the commander assumes responsibility for any damage to the equipment caused by
deviation from the preparation steps.
z
Rigging. The rigging steps give information as to the position of the apex fitting on the load,
routing orientation of the sling legs, location of the lift provisions, chain link number for each
sling leg, and steps required to prevent the sling legs from becoming entangled on the load. Do
not change the chain link number in the rigging procedures under any circumstances as it may
change sling leg loading and cause lift provision failure.

Chapter 1
The purpose of the illustration accompanying the rigging procedures is to depict what a
properly rigged load looks like with the slack removed from the sling legs. The arrow
identifies the direction of flight.
Appendix A contains NSN component listings for slings, sling sets, cargo nets, and other
miscellaneous equipment and materials.
z
Hookup. Certain sling loads, such as HMMWVs with shelters, present substantial risk of
damage to the load or injury to the hookup personnel. This risk is increased during dual point
hookup or night operations.
To reduce the risk of damage to the load or injury to the hookup personnel an extended
sling system or reach pendant as defined in FM 4-20.197 may be used.
Using a reach pendant increases the distance between the load and the helicopter. Reach
pendants should not be used on loads that have a tendency to spin during flight. A static
discharge person is not required when using a reach pendant.
If the tactical environment permits, the use of a longline sling set may reduce the risk.
GENERAL RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTIONS
1. Inspect lifting provisions and supporting structure for damage or
degradation prior to sling loading. Do not transport loads with
damaged or degraded lift provisions.
2. Do not mix different capacity reach pendants. Use two 11,000-
pound capacity or two 25,000-pound capacity reach pendants.
1-7.
All dual-point loads have rigging instructions.
z
Preparing the Load. Prepare the load to be transported by following the preparation and
rigging instructions for each item. Typical preparation instructions will provide information to
secure loose items, remove or secure canvas covers, and remove obstructions, such as antennas.
Place protective padding on windshields and other components that could be damaged by the
metal parts of the sling set during hookup or release. The load should be secure enough to
withstand winds in excess of 120 knots caused by the forward airspeed of the aircraft. If
possible, position the load in the takeoff direction so the pilot does not have to pick the load up
and then turn the aircraft into the takeoff direction.
z
Preparing the Equipment. Inspect and assemble the slings and miscellaneous equipment
required to prepare and rig the load. Following the instructions in Chapter 6 of FM 4-
20.197/MCRP
4-11.3E, VOL I/NWP
3-04.11/AFMAN
11-223(I), VOL I/COMDTINST
M13482.2B, add or remove sling legs, chains, or apex fittings as required. Never exceed the
capacity of the sling legs or apex fitting/web ring. If you have a sling set with a higher capacity
than the sling set prescribed, use the chain link conversion chart in Appendix B to determine the
corresponding chain link for your sling set.
z
Positioning and Attaching the Sling Set. Position the sling set near the load. The sling legs
for a typical load with four lifting points are routed as shown in Figure 1-1.
Rigging a typical load with four lifting points is begun by connecting:
─ Sling leg 1 to the left front lifting provision.
─ Sling leg 2 to the right front lifting provision.
─ Sling leg 3 to the left rear lifting provision.
─ Sling leg 4 to the right rear lifting provision.
─ If a six-leg sling set is required, the innermost sling legs, 5 and 6, are connected to the
left and right middle lift provisions.

AFMAN 11-223 (I), VOL III/COMDINST M13482.4B
20 February 2009
Fundamental Principles of Sling Load
Note. Odd numbered sling legs go to the same side of the load.
Following the equipment rigging procedures, loop the free end of the chain end through the
lift provision and insert the specified chain link in the grabhook/grab link. Tie or tape the
excess chain end to prevent the unrestrained chain from damaging the load. If necessary, wrap
padding around the chain or rope assembly to prevent damage to the load or sling set. If the
procedures prescribe a spreader bar, install and pad it according to the rigging instructions.
Breakaway safety ties are used to temporarily restrain the sling legs to keep them from
becoming entangled on the load as the helicopter lifts the load. These safety ties are made of
Type I, 1/4-inch cotton webbing or duct tape.
z
Viewing the Load. Left, right, front, and rear directions are designated from the driver’s
perspective for vehicles and towed equipment. Howitzer gun tubes are considered the front of
the load. The front or rear is identified on other items of equipment. The sling leg numbering
system prevents sling legs from crossing each other and causing damage to the sling legs or
causing the load to twist in flight. To improve flight stability, some loads are transported
backwards. Do not confuse the front of the load as it is carried with the end designated as the
front for rigging purposes. The arrow shown in the illustration identifies the direction of flight.

Chapter 2
Certified Dual-Point Rigging Procedures for Wheeled
Vehicles
2-1. This chapter contains rigging procedures for dual-point wheeled vehicle loads that have been
certified for sling load. Each rigging procedure is found in a paragraph that includes a description of the
load, materials required for rigging, and steps to complete the procedure. An applicability paragraph is
also a part of each paragraph and identifies the certified loads. The certified dual-point rigging procedures
for wheeled vehicles are in this section. Paragraphs 2-2 through 2-51 give detailed instructions for rigging
loads.
Notes:
1. Reach Pendants may be used on dual-point loads. Place a reach pendant on each
apex
fitting. A static discharge person is not required when using a Reach Pendant.
2. Canvas tops and doors should be removed and stowed inside the vehicle if time
allows. These items may be damaged if the airspeed exceeds 100 knots.

Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Fold the mirrors forward in front of the windshield and tie together with Type III nylon
cord. Tape the windshield in an X formation from corner to corner.
─ Remove the spreader bar from under the right hand seat inside the ambulance.
─ Secure all equipment inside the rear compartment with tape, nylon cord, and/or
lashings. Close and secure the door.
─ Secure all other equipment inside the vehicle with tape, nylon cord, and/or lashings.
Close and secure the doors.
─ Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full. Inspect fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
─ Engage the vehicle parking brake. Place the transmission in neutral.
─ Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. Tie down the steering wheel using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
─ Secure the Red Cross insignia covers in the closed position.
─ Remove the keeper from the spreader bar and extend the bar so the holes line up.
Reinstall pin and engage keeper. Use the sighting hole in the tube to assist in aligning
holes for the pin. See top view insert in Figure 2-1.
─ Position the spreader bar across the rear end of the vehicle roof. Attach the spreader
bar check cables to the eyebolts located on the aft exterior sidewall of the rear
compartment. See rear view insert in Figure 2-1.
─ Install lift provisions on the outer ends of the rear bumper by removing the tie-down
provisions located inboard of the bumper ends and installing them on the outer ends of
the rear bumper, if necessary.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-1.
Hookup. The static wand person discharges the static electricity with the static wand. The
forward hookup person stands on the hood and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo
hook. The aft hookup person stands on the roof and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo
hook. The hookup team then carefully dismounts the vehicle and remains close to the load as
the helicopter removes slack from the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the
hookup team quickly exits the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous
point.
Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Extend the sling leg chains by connecting one additional chain length to each chain on
a 15,000-pound capacity sling set with a coupling link (used on M1043A2 with
MAK).
─ Fold mirrors forward in front of the windshield for added protection and tie together
with Type III nylon cord.
─ Secure all equipment and cargo inside the vehicle with tape, nylon cord, or lashings.
Remove antennas and stow inside vehicle.
─ Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full. Inspect fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
─ Engage the vehicle parking brake and place the transmission in neutral.
─ Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
CAUTION
Do not apply tape to the windows or windshield of the M1114 up-
armored HMMWV. Tape will damage the windows.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-2.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on the roof of the vehicle. The static wand person
discharges the static electricity with the static wand. The forward hookup person places apex
fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person places apex fitting 2 onto the aft
cargo hook. The hookup team then carefully dismounts the vehicle and remains close to the
load as the helicopter removes slack from the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured,
the hookup team quickly exits the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous
point.
Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.
