Which statement correctly describes Type I helicopters?

• A. Type I: large seats 16 people; max 5,000 lb
• B. Type I: large seats 12 people; max 4,000 lb
• C. Type I: large seats 20 people; max 6,000 lb
• D. Type I: large seats 18 people; max 3,500 lb

Answer: (A)

Type I helicopters are the larger passenger-carrying rotorcraft defined by a specific seating and weight limit. The statement that matches this category describes 16 seats and a maximum gross weight of 5,000 pounds, which is why it’s the correct description. The other options mix different seat counts and weights that don’t fit Type I, so they don’t describe this category.
