MULTISERVICE HELICOPTER SLING LOAD:
SINGLE-POINT RIGGING PROCEDURES
PREFACE
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 10-450-3/MCRP 4-23E, VOL I/NWP 3-04.11/
AFJMAN 11-223, VOL I/COMDTINST M13482.2A and FM 55-450-5/FMFRP 5-31, VOL III/NWP 42-1,VOL III/
AFR 50-16, VOL III/COMDTINST M13482.4.
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 14
contain rigging procedures for single-point loads which have been certified for sling load. Chapters 15 through 24
contain 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.
DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTION: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
*This publication supersedes FM 55-450-4, 11 February 1991.

WARNING
THIS CARGO VEHICLE (M1037 MODIFIED, 9,400-LB GVW) SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE

WHICH ALLOWS IT TO BE LIFTED AT HIGHER GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHTS.
NOTES:
1. Recommended airspeed for CH-53E when using the 15,000-pound multileg sling set is 100 knots. Recommended
airspeed for the CH-53E when using the 40,000-pound capacity sling set is 105 knots.
2. For vehicle weights up to 7,300 pounds, the recommended maximum airspeed for the UH-60 is 100 knots. For
