Which signal indicates Move upwards?

Which signal indicates Move upwards?

• A. Hover
• B. Move upwards
• C. Release sling load
• D. Move backward

Answer: (B)

Move upwards is the signal that tells the helicopter crew to raise the load, i.e., to ascend. In sling load operations, the signaler uses a distinct, upward-directed gesture to communicate vertical movement, so this cue clearly differentiates ascent from other actions. Hover means hold the position, the release signal tells the crew to drop the load, and move backward directs horizontal movement away. The upward cue is chosen specifically because it unambiguously requests increasing altitude with the load.
