Cargo Hooks with Manual Release are which of the following?

• A. UH-60 Front and Rear Cargo Hooks
• B. UH-60 and CH-47 Front and Rear Cargo Hooks
• C. CH-47 Center Cargo Hook
• D. CH-47 Dual Cargo Hook (Front and Rear)

Answer: (B)

Manual release means the crew can jettison the load using a hand lever on the hook, without relying solely on the automatic release system. The UH-60 has manual release on its front and rear cargo hooks, and the CH-47 also has manual release on its front and rear cargo hooks. The center hook on the CH-47 does not use manual release, and options that emphasize the center hook or mix in an incorrect configuration aren’t accurate. So the hooks with manual release are the UH-60 front/rear and the CH-47 front/rear.
