The only type of helicopter that may be refueled with the engine running and the blades turning is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) a turbine-equipped helicopter.
Turbine-equipped helicopters are the only type that may be refueled with the engine running and the blades turning. This is because turbine engines can be shut down and restarted quickly, minimizing the risk of a fire or explosion during the refueling process. Other helicopter types, such as piston-powered models, cannot be safely refueled in this manner.
The other answer choices are incorrect because a Sikorsky is a manufacturer, not a specific type of helicopter (A), emergency situations do not change the refueling requirements (B), and helicopters carrying cargo only are subject to the same refueling rules as other models (D).
