# MH-60L Blackhawk

> 8-seat medium transport with Cabin Mode and independently toggleable sliding cockpit windows.

The MH-60L Blackhawk is a capable 8-seat medium transport helicopter. Along with the UH-1H, it is one of two aircraft with Cabin Mode. It also features independently toggleable sliding cockpit windows for both pilot and co-pilot, synced across the network.

## Cabin Mode

The Blackhawk supports the same Cabin Mode system as the UH-1H:

1. While seated as **pilot or co-pilot**, look back to find the **"Move to Cabin"** action
2. Activate it — your character leaves their cockpit seat and walks freely inside the cabin, moving with the helicopter during flight
3. Full WASD movement, weapon use, and ADS inside the cabin
4. At any time, use **"Return to Cockpit"** to return to your seat (original seat if free, otherwise alternate)

<Warning>
  **Cabin Mode is still being reworked and is OFF by default as of v0.2.4.** `features.cabinModeEnabled` now defaults to `0`; when off, the **Move to Cabin** action does not appear at all. In-flight Move to Cabin does not yet hold the pilot/co-pilot inside the cabin correctly — **please keep it disabled until a future hotfix** completes the rework. It can be re-enabled server-wide by setting `features.cabinModeEnabled = 1` in `mod_config.json`.
</Warning>

See [Cabin Mode](/features/cabin-mode) for full details.

## Sliding Windows

The Blackhawk has independently toggleable sliding windows on each cockpit door:

* **Pilot** and **co-pilot** each control their own window independently
* Look at the **cockpit side glass** to get the toggle action — it is an **instant action** (no hold required)
* Window state is **synced across the network** — all players see the correct open/closed state in real time
* Can be opened or closed at any time — in flight, on the ground, engine on or off
* Window open/close events are recorded in the activity log when `logging.CZAutoz_logActivity = 1`

## Landing Gear

The Blackhawk has a fixed wheeled undercarriage — the landing gear **does not retract or extend**. It remains in the deployed position at all times.
