Still not finding it. Does any one know off the top of their head? Or who specifically to call to find out? I'm pretty sure there is a 150' Long line req. as well as "mountain/ high dens alt" time. Just having trouble finding the specific amount.

page 11 and pg 17 (probably others too, but I was only skimming)

 

 

It spells out the minimums, but I didn't see the sling stuff. Talking with an inspector today he said 10 hours as a minimum experience, and he emphasized that is a minimum, that there is also the proficiency, which was to keep a load on a 150' line within a 10' radius, I believe, within 5' of the surface for 30 seconds. Tighter tolerances and 2 minutes for a live load. Sorry that i couldn't find the exact reference, but he also said the the specific contract may have tighter requirements.
