WARNING
Exceeding the flight parameters may severely damage
the main rotor assembly of the disabled helicopter,
requiring component replacement. Report the amount
and duration of any flight parameter exceeded to the
unit responsible for the disabled helicopter.
The height above ground level may be difficult to
determine during low-level UMARK operations due to the
length of the sling system. Flight crews should exercise
extreme caution during recovery operations to ensure the
disabled helicopter remains clear of ground obstacles.
4. COMPONENTS REQUIRED
Components of UMARK utilized during the one-hook, long-line recovery are listed in Table 2. Common equipment
used by the ground rigging crew, such as shockproof gloves, goggles, radios, etc., are not included in UMARK.
No additional tools are required for UMARK assembly or rigging of the helicopters.
