Sling loading

During sling loading, supplies, vehicles or other equipment is moved underneath an helicopter to a designated area. The procedure is used when the landing zone is not suitable for the landing of transport aircraft.

To sling load something is an average air assault skill roll as well. If the loader fails the skill roll then during the flight one of the lines may snap causing the load to become severely unbalanced. The pilot will either have to release the object or make a difficult piloting skill roll to set the object down on the ground. If the character rolls a critical failure then the cables will snap in flight dropping the object to the ground.
