Which statement is true about landing point sizes and sling load operations?

• A. The minimum landing point size for sling load long line operations is Size 5, 100 meters.
• B. A UH-60 helicopter without a sling load requires a landing point of Size 3, 50 meters.
• C. The maximum obstruction angle of approach for daytime operations is 4 degrees.
• D. The maximum ground slope allowed to land a size 2 helicopter at night is 5 degrees.

Answer: (B)

Landing point size is tied to the aircraft and whether a sling load is being carried. When a UH-60 operates without a sling load, the required clearance is smaller because there’s no long-line swing or load pendulum to manage. A standard 50-meter diameter landing point (Size 3) provides sufficient room for safe approach, rotor wash, and ground operations without the extra margin needed for a sling-loaded configuration. That’s why this statement matches the common sizing for a non-sling UH-60 and is the true one in this context. The other options describe conditions that would require larger clearances or different limits that don’t apply to the non-sling UH-60 case in this scenario.
