Old Man,

........"The HV in Sling Loading is not a Limitation if conducted under an appropriate operating certificate........... "

Those words mean that if the helo is operating under Part 133, the HV is not a limitation. The reason why is fairly obvious, since the weight of the aircraft is very low once the load is dropped, or at least on the ground prior to aircraft touchdown.
