The US Army Aviation Test Board service tested the CH-47C Helicopter to determine its suitability for Army use. The test was conducted at Fort Rucker, Alabama; Apalachicola, Florida; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona (desert environment); and Fort Carson, Colorado (high elevation environment). A total of 172 flight hours was accumulated during the period. The CH-47C was compared to the CH-47A and B and to the Revised Military Characteristics for Medium Transport Helicopter. The flight characteristics, performance, operational capabilities, and maintainability of the CH-47C were enhanced over those of the CH-47A and B.
