What describes a Prohibited Sling Load?

• A. One-time or low frequency loads
• B. Items or equipment prohibited from sling load
• C. Flown for many years without incident
• D. Completed evaluation and testing requirements

Answer: (B)

A Prohibited Sling Load refers to items or equipment that are not authorized to be sling-loaded at all. These loads are deemed unsafe or unsuitable for lift due to safety, regulatory, or handling concerns, so no amount of rigging or planning can make them permissible. This designation exists to prevent attempting to transport objects that could shift, break loose, exceed weight or balance limits, contain hazardous materials, or pose other serious risks to the aircraft, crew, or ground personnel. The other ideas describe loads that may be allowed under certain conditions or are already vetted, whereas a prohibited sling load is simply not permitted.
