What is the weight limit for 17 cargo floor tie-down fittings?

• A. 5,000 lbs
• B. 3,000 lbs
• C. 2,000 lbs
• D. 6,000 lbs

Answer: (A)

The cargo floor tie-down points on the UH-60 are each rated for 5,000 pounds of working load limit. Having 17 fittings just means you have many places to attach straps and spread the load, but you must not exceed 5,000 pounds on any single tie-down point. So the weight limit for these fittings is 5,000 pounds.
