What is the 10K Net ACL capacity?

• A. 10,000 LBS
• B. 5,000 LBS
• C. 58 LBS
• D. 96 LBS

Answer: (A)

Net ACL capacity describes the maximum payload the aircraft can safely lift, given weight, balance, and structural limits. The 10K designation signals a large payload limit that planners use to determine how much cargo can be moved in a single lift without compromising performance. In practice you must stay at or below this capacity, because exceeding it would push the aircraft beyond safe operating limits and degrade flight performance. The net load includes the cargo and any rigging that remains with it, while fuel and crew weight reduce how much cargo you can actually lift. The other numbers are simply smaller payload figures and would not match the intended capacity of this designation, which is why this is the best choice for describing the 10K Net ACL capacity.
