black/white sling to the side that the recovery helicopter will approach from.

as shown in Figure 1, View C, will create an unbalanced
load on the sling link assembly and may cause the
assembly to open as tension is applied to the slings.

heavy weight black/white sling (7) with bridle loops using sling link (8).

the Position A orientation.
