What is the total weight of the 25,000 LB Sling Set?

• A. 114 lbs
• B. 120 lbs
• C. 100 lbs
• D. 110 lbs

Answer: (A)

In sling load planning, you must account for the actual weight of the rigging, not just the load you’re lifting. The 25,000 LB Sling Set has a fixed, published weight for the complete assembly. For this kit, that total is 114 pounds. This weight includes all components of the sling set (the slings and hardware), and you add it to the payload weight when calculating the helicopter’s gross weight and how the load affects the aircraft’s center of gravity. The other numbers don’t fit because they don’t match the standard weight published for this specific kit.
