What POA can be used on a CH-53E/K?

The CH-53E/K helicopter has the capability to utilize a variety of point of attachment (POA) options. This versatility includes the 10K Apex Fitting, which is often used for lighter loads, and the 25K Apex Fitting, designed for heavier payloads. Additionally, the multi-point nylon attachments allow for secure anchoring of loads at multiple points, enhancing load stability during transport.

Another POA option is the Polyester Round Sling, which is durable and suitable for various lifting applications. This combination of attachment points enables the CH-53E/K to effectively carry a wide range of sling loads, accommodating different types of cargo and mission requirements. The ability to use multiple attachment types maximizes operational flexibility and ensures a secure sling load throughout flight operations.
