The inspector's signature on the DA Form 7382-R indicate that __________ has been inspected and found to have no deficiencies.

• A. The load
• B. The sling assembly
• C. The field office
• D. The transport vehicle

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the inspector’s signature on the DA Form 7382-R is a certification that the load has been checked and found free of deficiencies. This form is used to document the pre-load inspection of what will be lifted, ensuring it is secure, balanced, and free of hazards or damaged components that could affect safety during flight. By signing, the inspector confirms the load itself is ready for transport.

The sling assembly and transport vehicle are parts of the overall sling-load system, but they’re typically addressed through separate checks or forms. The field office isn’t the object being certified on this particular form. So the signature specifically indicates the load has been inspected and found to have no deficiencies.
