What is the UH-60's ACL with seats and without seats?

• A. 12 pax w/ seats, 15 pax w/out seats
• B. 11 pax w/ seats, 16 pax w/out seats
• C. 10 pax w/ seats, 14 pax w/out seats
• D. 9 pax w/ seats, 16 pax w/out seats

Answer: (B)

ACL indicates how many people you can safely carry in the UH-60 cabin under current weight and balance constraints, and it changes with whether seats are installed. With seats in place, the cabin is limited to 11 passengers due to seating space, seat belt anchors, and the floor loading that must be kept within limits. If the seats are removed for a standing or cargo-capable configuration, you can load up to 16 personnel, because there’s more floor area and fewer seat-related weight points, though you still must respect overall weight and center-of-gravity limits, door clearance, and egress considerations. These numbers come from the UH-60 load data used for planning and training, reflecting how seating reduces capacity and removing seats increases it within the aircraft’s safety constraints.
