In ACL prior configuration, what is a valid combination of litters and ambulatory patients?

• A. 6 litters and 1 ambulatory
• B. 4 litters and 2 ambulatory
• C. 5 litters and 0 ambulatory
• D. 7 ambulatory

Answer: (A)

ACL prior configuration sets a fixed patient load to balance space, weight, and access during transport. In that setup, six litters with one ambulatory is the valid combination because it prioritizes patients who need a litter for care while still reserving a single ambulatory seat for a walking patient or a medic, keeping the cabin balanced and allowing room for medical crew to operate. The other patterns don’t fit this load plan: one pattern uses only ambulatory patients with no litters, which isn’t compatible with the standard distribution; another pattern leaves an ambulatory count or litter count outside the defined balance, and a different pattern exceeds the ambulatory or litter limits of this configuration.
