What form is completed during Phase II (Inspection) of a sling load operation?

• A. DA FORM 7382
• B. DA FORM 7399
• C. DA FORM 7383
• D. DA FORM 444

Answer: (A)

During Phase II, the emphasis is on verifying the sling load and its rigging before flight, ensuring everything is within safe limits. The form used is the Sling Load Data Card, DA Form 7382. This card records all the critical details identified during the inspection: a description of the load, weight, dimensions, center of gravity, the exact sling configuration (types and number of slings and attachment points), rigging hardware, and the method of securing the load. It also captures the unit and personnel information, date and time, and signatures. With this data, the aircrew can confirm that the load is eligible for lift, understand exactly how it’s rigged, and communicate precise instructions for hookup and flight. Other forms exist for different administrative or equipment purposes, but they do not provide the standardized documentation of sling load data needed for Phase II, which is why the data card is the correct choice.
