What is the LUH-72 ACL?

• A. 6 pax. 1 litters
• B. 8 pax. 2 litters with med crew
• C. 8 pax. no litters
• D. 7 pax. 2 litters

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is the Aircraft Load Capacity (ACL) for the LUH-72 Lakota in a medical evacuation configuration. ACL defines how many ambulatory passengers and how many litter patients (plus the required medical crew) the helicopter can carry without overloading or compromising balance. For the LUH-72 in a MEDEVAC role, the standard ACL is eight ambulatory passengers and two litters, with medical crew to monitor and treat the patients during flight. This is why the option stating eight passengers plus two litters with medical crew is the best match—it reflects both the number of seated passengers and the number of litter patients the aircraft can accommodate alongside the necessary medical staff. Other options don’t fit because they either reduce the number of litters, omit litters altogether, or misstate the passenger count for this configuration.
