Junior's Air Assault Phase II Practice Test

What is the cargo hook capacity of the UH-60A?

7,000 lbs 8,000 lbs 9,000 lbs 10,000 lbs

Correct Answer:

8,000 lbs

Explanation:

External sling-load capacity of the UH-60A is 8,000 pounds. This rating is the maximum safe load that the helicopter’s cargo hooks can handle for a single external load, considering the aircraft’s structure, flight dynamics, and safety margins. When planning sling-load missions, you must stay at or below this limit and ensure proper rigging and weight distribution to keep the center of gravity within allowable bounds. Loads heavier than 8,000 pounds aren’t approved for this helicopter and would require a different aircraft or a split-load approach.
