Un-Commanded Release Due to Too Large of a Load Ring
Load rings that are too large will cause an un-commanded
release. The ring will flip over the end of the load beam and
flip the keeper up and then fall free. Only correctly sized
load rings must be used. See example below.
Figure 2
The flip over often occurs
with long line operations
during landings and take offs.
