(2) Perform a load inspection test by following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 2.B. through 2.I., of the ASB. Refer to the aircraft weight and balance limitations prior to performing this test and use a balancing load if necessary to prevent helicopter rollover. Any alternate method of complying with the load inspection test must first be approved in accordance with paragraph (g) of this AD.

(4) Record the result of the load inspection test on the hoist component history card or equivalent record.
