Which load configuration describes two loads attached in sequence along the flight path?

• A. Tandem
• B. Dual-Point
• C. Single-Point
• D. Multiple Single Point

Answer: (A)

Two loads connected end-to-end along the helicopter’s flight path form a tandem configuration. In this setup, the front load is closest to the aircraft and a second load follows directly behind, both moving along the same line as the helicopter travels. This arrangement lets you transport two items in one lift by chaining them in a single train, maintaining a controlled spacing and line tension. It’s distinct from setups where two loads are carried by separate lift lines and not in a single sequence; those are dual-point or multiple-point configurations, whereas a single-point holds just one load. So, two loads attached in sequence along the flight path is tandem.
