NOTE
Figure 1 details the damaged OH-58D helicopter and
recovery helicopter rigging. Reference numbers in the
following text that are outlined in parentheses [i.e., (1), (2),
etc.] refer to Figure 1 and Table 3 item numbers. Refer to
Figure 1 and Table 3 for configuration guidance.
Use of cargo hook thimble is required when the center
cargo hook of a CH-47 is being used; the UH-60 does not
use a thimble.

cargo hook thimble (23, Figure 1, View A, and Figure 5) into the single eye end of heavy weight black/white
sling (21).
