Appendix D 224 ATP 5-0.2-1 07 December 2020 Table D-11. Helicopter characteristics FM 3-04 Type Speed (KIAS) Armament Range (R) Endurance (E) Remarks (Note 1) UH-60 L/M 156 (max) 120 max with sling- load UH-60: 2x M240H VOLCANO scatterable mine delivery system (no guns can be carried with Volcano) (internal fuel only) R: 225 km E: 2 hours (w/ aux tanks: 4 hours) Fuel: 362-gal (internal); two aux. tanks (200 gal ea) burns 178-gal/hr 22k lbs max up to 9k lbs external cargo or 11x combat equipped troops (16x if seats are removed) or VOLCANO system (takes 8 hours to install, limits crew to two pilots and one operator and limits speed to 80 kts when scattering mines). MC Node provides 6x FM, 1x HF, 2x VHF, 2x UHF radios Crew = 2-4 (2 pilots, crew chief, gunner) HH-60 L (MEDEVAC) 120-145 (Cruise) HH-60: unarmed air ambulance 22k lbs max up to 9k lbs external cargo; 600 lbs rescue hoist; can carry up to 6 litter or ambulatory patients; crew = 2 pilots, crew chief & 3 medics CH-47 D/F 170 (max) 120 max with sling- load 145 (cruise) 3x M240H 7.62-mm MG – 2x door guns, 1x rear ramp gun (internal fuel only) R: 90 km (50 nm) w/ 16k lbs, or 180 km (120 nm) w/ 33 troops. E: 2 hours (514- gal per hour); carries 1,030-gal total 50k lbs max, 33 combat equipped troops; for CASEVAC may carry 24 litter + 1 ambulatory, or 31 ambulatory patients; max sling load: 26k lbs Crew = 3-6 (two pilots, flight engineer, crew chief, two gunners) With auxiliary tanks can ferry up to 1,056 nm AH-64 D/E 140 (max) 110 (cruise) 1x 30-mm M230E1 chain gun; max eff. range = 1.5 to 1.7km standard ammo load is 1,200 rounds. If the 100- gal auxiliary internal tank is used it falls to 300 rds (or to 100 rds if the 130-gal auxiliary tank is used) 4x universal pylons (two per wing); each can carry 4x AGM-114 “Hellfire” missiles (range = 8km) or one LAU- 6168 “Hydra” rocket launchers or a 230-gal fuel tank (ferry missions only); also has wingtip pylons for FIM-32 “Stinger” air-to-air missiles (range; 200m to 4.5km) or AIM-9 “Sidewinder” AAM R: 120 km (normal fuel only) E: 2 hours (standard); Burns 175-gal/hour; standard fuel load = 370 gal; may carry an internal auxiliary fuel tank with either 100 or 130-gal capacity Laser designates tank size target up to 6,000 meters. Fire control radar can detect, classify, and prioritize targets w/o line of sight or in limited visibility for Hellfire engagements. Identifies and prioritizes radar emitters. Keeping these systems operational requires a very high maintenance effort. Ordnance carried will not normally exceed 2,500lbs; Crew = 2 (pilot, co-pilot/ gunner) KIAS: Knots-Indicated Air Speed Note 1. Combat range endurance varies with temperature, humidity, wind, aircraft configuration, and mission requirements. See environmental considerations. Specific performance must be calculated for every mission. Table D-12.
