Carry long objects horizontally between two people. Pack internal loads securely so that cargo does not move in flight. Make sure that internal loads do not block emergency exits. Do not over-stack nets, . Be aware of static electricity when attaching loads Use metal to metal contact between the hook and the sling.
Synthetic ropes can twist and make it difficult to release the load later.
Hold the net or sling ring high above your head so that the pilot can see it and ensure that your hands cannot be caught in the net or sling. Move into view and give the thumbs up signal to indicate the load is ready to lift.
