When rigging integrity is suspected during flight, the priority is to reduce risk through immediate communication and conservative handling. Tell the flight lead right away so they have real-time awareness and can direct the next steps. At the same time, adjust flight parameters to a safe flight condition—slow to conservative airspeed, maintain stable altitude, and limit maneuvers to reduce additional loads and give you time to assess. Be prepared to abort if the situation worsens or if the flight lead directs you to abort; having an abort plan ensures you can terminate the mission safely rather than push through an unsafe condition. This approach keeps the crew protected, prioritizes timely assessment, and avoids delaying inspection or decisions by continuing operations or landing abruptly in unsafe conditions.
