How many tie-down points does the Growler have normally?

• A. 10
• B. 14
• C. 8
• D. 12 normally

Answer: (D)

Tie-down points are the anchors used to secure the aircraft to the deck or to a transport. In its standard, normally configured state, the Growler provides twelve tie-down points. This arrangement spreads restraint loads across multiple locations—on the wings and along the fuselage forward and aft—so multiple straps can be used to hold the aircraft firmly in place during heavy seas or while being moved. The count reflects a typical ground/transport setup; changing equipment or configurations could alter the available points, but twelve is the normal configuration.
