Which option lists the CH-47D cargo hook capacities for Fore, Aft, Center, and Dual exactly?

• A. Fore 17K lbs, Aft 17K lbs, Center 26K lbs, Dual 25K lbs
• B. Fore 16K lbs, Aft 17K lbs, Center 26K lbs, Dual 25K lbs
• C. Fore 17K lbs, Aft 18K lbs, Center 26K lbs, Dual 25K lbs
• D. Fore 17K lbs, Aft 17K lbs, Center 25K lbs, Dual 24K lbs

Answer: (A)

The numbers for the CH-47D external cargo hooks are: fore and aft hooks rated at 17,000 pounds each, the center hook at 26,000 pounds, and the dual-hook configuration at 25,000 pounds. The option that lists Fore 17K, Aft 17K, Center 26K, and Dual 25K matches these published capacities exactly, making it the correct choice. Other options change one or more hook ratings, which would not reflect the official data. When planning lifts, always stay within the lowest rated hook in use and account for weight distribution to maintain safe flight characteristics.
