What is considered a low fuel level?

• A. 100 lbs
• B. 150 lbs
• C. 300 lbs
• D. 200 lbs

Answer: (D)

Low fuel level is defined by a fixed fuel quantity that signals you to prioritize landing and diversion planning. In the UH-60S, the designated threshold for calling fuel “low” is 200 pounds remaining in the main fuel system. This amount gives you a small, but real, reserve to reach a safe landing site or an alternate airfield while still being able to manage power and handling safely. The other amounts don’t meet this defined alert point, so they aren’t the recognized low fuel level in standard procedures.
