Which configuration involves two loads with one in front of the other, as in a HMMWV with trailer?

• A. Tandem sling load
• B. Single-Point sling load
• C. Side-by-Side sling load
• D. Dual-Point sling load

Answer: (A)

Two loads one behind the other along the helicopter’s length is a tandem sling load. This setup fits a HMMWV with a trailer because the two items are placed in a straight line with the forward load toward the aircraft’s nose and the rear load behind it, both lifted from the aircraft’s front and aft points. This arrangement keeps the weights aligned with the helicopter’s longitudinal axis, promoting stability and reducing side-to-side sway during lift. It also allows you to manage longer or multiple items that won’t fit as a single unit. The other configurations aren’t about front-to-back sequencing: side-by-side means two loads next to each other across the width; single-point involves one load at one lift point; dual-point pertains to a single load supported at two points.
