WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA
Maximum operating and hoist load weights:
Maximum gross weight for hoist operations is 6500 LB including hoist load.
Maximum load on the hoist is 600 LB. This is a structural limit and does not
assure loading within approved limits. Maximum allowable hoist load changes
with gross weight and aircraft CG. Refer to Figure 10-16 to determine maximum
allowable hoist load.

Hoist lateral CG determination:
The following examples show a minimum crew of pilot and hoist operator. Notice
that in Example I, the helicopter is enroute (above 60 KIAS) and the hoist operator
is stationed in the left rear facing seat, thereby maintaining the lateral CG limit
of
"
2 IN.
In Example II, the helicopter is at the destination (below 60 KIAS) and the hoist
operator moves to the right of the aircraft cabin and stands on step.
Example III shows CG with a load on the hoist.
