What is considered a low fuel level in pounds?

• A. 50 lbs
• B. 200 lbs
• C. 300 lbs
• D. 400 lbs

Answer: (B)

Fuel on board is tracked in pounds, and a low fuel condition is a defined alert that prompts you to plan a diversion or landing with limited reserves left. For the UH-60S, the standard low fuel threshold is 200 pounds remaining. That amount gives a small but intentional reserve to reach a suitable alternate or landing site while still meeting required reserves. The other values are not the defined low-fuel trigger: they are either well above the minimum reserve or far below it, so they don’t match the standard alert used in UH-60S procedures.
