What is the CH-47 apex requirement?

• A. None, can hook up to any apex
• B. Aluminum spacer required
• C. Requires special adapter
• D. Cannot hook to apex

Answer: (A)

When you’re rigging an external load for the CH-47, the apex is the point on the load where the sling connects to the helicopter’s apex hooks. The Chinook is designed to interface with standard apex fittings, so no extra hardware is required. There’s no aluminum spacer or special adapter needed as long as the apex on the load is properly rated for the weight and rigging is done per the load plan. In short, you can hook up to any properly rated apex without additional adapters.
