In a dual-point sling load, how many loads and hooks are used?

• A. One load rigged, uses two cargo hooks
• B. One load rigged, uses one cargo hook
• C. Two loads rigged, one in front of the other
• D. Two loads rigged, one beside the other

Answer: (A)

A dual-point sling load uses two attachment points to support a single item. The load is rigged once and connected to two cargo hooks, providing two-point support that improves stability and balance during lift. Using only one cargo hook would be a single-point sling, not dual-point. Carrying two loads describes two separate payloads, which isn’t the standard dual-point configuration for a single load (the two-point setup is about how that one load is attached, not about placing two loads).
