Which of the following is NOT listed under weight-limited maneuvers for aircraft above 9,200 lbs?

• A. PROLONGED HOVER OPERATIONS (>1 min)
• B. SHIPBOARD LANDINGS
• C. OPERATIONAL AUF MANEUVERS
• D. ALL RWAI MANUEVERS AND AUF TACTICAL TRAINING MANEUVERS

Answer: (B)

Weight-limited maneuvers are the operations that become significantly constrained as the aircraft’s weight increases, requiring special training and procedures at heavier gross weights. For aircraft over 9,200 pounds, the maneuvers officially listed as weight-limited include prolonged hover operations longer than one minute, operational AUF maneuvers, and all RWAI maneuvers and AUF tactical training maneuvers. Shipboard landings, while nonetheless demanding and requiring careful handling and shipboard procedures, are not included in the weight-limited category in this context. Because shipboard landings aren’t part of the weight-limited list, they’re the correct choice for “NOT listed under weight-limited maneuvers.”
