Which description matches a Prohibited sling load?

• A. A sling load that is always permitted regardless of conditions.
• B. Equipment that has been NSC certified for flight.
• C. Equipment that is prohibited from sling loading as determined by each service; safety hazard.
• D. An experimental load not yet approved.

Answer: (C)

Prohibited sling loads are items you must not sling under any circumstances because they pose an unacceptable safety hazard, and the determination is made by each service. This description is the best fit because it directly conveys the prohibition and the safety concern, along with the fact that which loads are prohibited can vary by service. The other ideas describe loads that are assumed permissible, certified for flight, or still experimental—situations that imply approval or development rather than outright prohibition.
