70% to pass

During a SAR helicopter evolution the rescue sling is the most widely used method of extraction. Which of the following describes the alternate Double Lift Method used to pick- up incapacitated persons?

A a normal rescue sling and a rescue net used to simultaneously extract multiple personnel
B a normal rescue sling and a rescue seat used to simultaneously extract multiple personnel
C two normal rescue slings one manned by a helicopter crew member
D a normal rescue sling and a seating belt manned by a helicopter crew member
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) a normal rescue sling and a seating belt manned by a helicopter crew member. The Double Lift Method is an alternate extraction technique used to pick up incapacitated persons when the standard rescue sling is not feasible. It involves using a normal rescue sling along with a seating belt manned by a helicopter crew member to simultaneously extract the person. This allows for a more secure and controlled extraction compared to the other options, which do not involve the use of a seating belt manned by crew. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the Double Lift Method. Option A uses a rescue net, option B uses a rescue seat, and option C uses two normal rescue slings without a seating belt.
