Camp SLO Air Assault (A.A) Phase 2 Practice Exam

The item with a 550-pound rating is Type 3 Nylon. This material is commonly called 550 cord because its minimum breaking strength is about 550 pounds, making it a standard light-duty rope used for general lashings and emergency tasks. The other options don’t fit this specific rating: 7/16 inch nylon rope typically has a much higher breaking strength due to its larger diameter; pressure sensitive tape isn’t used for load-bearing purposes; and a 15-foot tie-down strap is designed for far larger loads, usually thousands of pounds.
