For Aero medical UH-1V, what is the crew size and ACL under normal and prior conditions?

• A. Crew 4 (1 medic); ACL normal 3 litters and 4 ambulatory; ACL prior 6 litters or 9 ambulatory
• B. Crew 3 (1 medic); ACL normal 2 litters and 3 ambulatory; ACL prior 5 litters or 7 ambulatory
• C. Crew 5 (2 medics); ACL normal 4 litters and 2 ambulatory; ACL prior 7 litters or 8 ambulatory
• D. Crew 4 (0 medics); ACL normal 3 litters and 2 ambulatory; ACL prior 5 litters or 7 ambulatory

Answer: (A)

In this aero medical configuration, the UH-1V operates with a four-person crew that includes one flight medic. That medic is the key medical provider on board, while the other crew members handle flight operations and patient care as needed.

Under a normal mission setup, the cabin is arranged to carry three litters and four ambulatory patients, giving seven patients total while keeping space for the medic and crew. When configured for the higher-capacity “prior” condition, the aircraft can accommodate six litters or nine ambulatory patients, depending on the mission needs and space available.

This reflects the balance between space for treatment equipment and space for patients: litters require more room than ambulatory patients, so the ACL is specified in terms of litter count or ambulatory count. The described crew composition and the two ACL values align with the standard aero medical UH-1V configuration used in training.
