Don't be in hurry.


The AH-64's radio console can't take a lickin' and keep on tickin' when big feet step on it or helmets are dropped on it.

At the end of the day, take your time and exit the bird without rushing. Hurrying leads to mistakes and a tack of attention to what you're doing. So don't rush when you exit the bird or while doing maintenance.

Some copilots are in such hurry to leave the bird that the IHADSS IHADSS integrated helmet and display sight system (Army) (US DoD)  helmet slips from their hand and falls on the console. It breaks knobs on the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. In the U.S., analog television has used UHF channels 52 to 69 in the 700 MHz band.  and VHF radio VHF radio refers to several communications services in the VHF frequency range, including:
  • Airband aircraft radio
  • Amateur radio in the 6, 2 and 1-1/4 meter bands
  • FM radio broadcasts
  • Marine VHF radio
, which knocks out your ability to set frequencies.

Don't forget the agony of de-feet either. Stepping on the radio console as you exit the bird can damage other avionics.

His regular jockey Fred Archer, winner of thirteen consecutive British jockey titles, said Bend Or was probably the greatest horse he had ever ridden.  break knobs, switches or dials, communication is over and your bird is NMC NMC Nursing & Midwifery Council (UK)

To protect the console while it's not flying, have your AVIM shop make a protective cover.

Here are the plans with the dimensions. Have your sheet metal shop make the cover from .040-in aluminum sheet.
