What is the Receiving unit responsible for?

• A. Recovery of sling load equipment
• B. Preparing, coordinating, and inspecting backloads
• C. Selection and control
• D. Rendezvous point away from helicopter

Answer: (B)

The Receiving unit handles the ground actions for sling-load cargo by preparing, coordinating, and inspecting backloads. They ensure each backload is properly rigged, secured, tagged, and within weight and balance limits, and they work with the helicopter crew to time and position the load correctly. A final safety inspection is performed before loading or unloading, keeping the operation safe and synchronized with the flight plan. The other duties described are handled by different roles or safety procedures, not the primary function of the Receiving unit.
