Air Assault School Phase I
100 Questions Q1–Q100
Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 161 Air Assault School Phase I
What is the allowable cargo load of the LUH-72A in its normal configuration when
used for MEDEVAC operations?
CORRECT ANSWER
2 litter, 1 medic, or 5 ambulatory.
RATIONALE
The LUH-72A's cargo load for MEDEVAC is dictated by the need to balance patient
transport capacity with essential medical personnel and equipment, accommodating
either two litters with one medic or up to five ambulatory patients. This flexibility
ensures operational efficiency and patient care under varying mission requirements.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 161 Air Assault School Phase I
What is the primary use for the CH-47 when used during CASEVAC missions?
CORRECT ANSWER
Mass Casualty Evacuation.
RATIONALE
The CH-47 Chinook's tandem rotor design and large cargo capacity enable it to
transport a substantial number of personnel, making it ideal for mass casualty
evacuation (CASEVAC) scenarios where speed and volume are critical. This capability
directly addresses the need for rapid, large-scale patient movement from austere
environments.
, Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 161 Air Assault School Phase I
What is the crew of a LUH- 72A when not being used for MEDEVAC operations?
CORRECT ANSWER
(3)Pilot, Co Pilot, and Crew Chief
RATIONALE
The LUH-72A, or Lakota, requires a pilot, co-pilot, and crew chief for standard
operational flight, with the crew chief often performing maintenance and assisting with
passenger/cargo handling. This crew configuration ensures flight safety and mission
readiness beyond just MEDEVAC roles.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 161 Air Assault School Phase I
What is the total length of the high performance utility hoist?
CORRECT ANSWER
256ft.
RATIONALE
The total length is calculated by summing the primary hoist line length (200 ft) and the
extension length (56 ft), yielding 256 ft. This tests basic addition of given
measurements.
, Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 161 Air Assault School Phase I
When used for CASEVAC operations, what is the (ACL) for the CH-47?
CORRECT ANSWER
31 ambulatory or 24 litter and 1 ambulatory.
RATIONALE
The CH-47 Chinook's maximum casualty capacity (ACL) for CASEVAC is determined by
the configuration, accommodating either 31 ambulatory patients or a combination of
24 litter-bound patients and one ambulatory patient. This capacity reflects the
aircraft's role in transporting multiple injured personnel efficiently during medical
evacuations.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 161 Air Assault School Phase I
If the obstacle on the approach route is eight meters tall and the obstacle on the
departure route is ten meters tall of your PZ/LZ, what is the unusable space for the
departure route?
CORRECT ANSWER
100m.
RATIONALE
The unusable space is calculated by multiplying the obstacle height by 8, representing
the 8:1 slope ratio mandated for departure routes, thus 10m * 8 = 80m. This calculation
defines the obstruction zone around the helipad.
