AND BANGING UP THERE ... ... HOW 'BOUT REMOVING MY COUNTERMEASURE SET!? Mechanics, when doing rotor head maintenance on your AH-64A/Ds, slippery fingers and dropped tools put the countermeasure set in harm's way harm's way n. A risky position; danger: a place for the children that is out of harm's way; ships that sail into harm's way. . The best preventive maintenance countermeasure when working on the rotor head is to remove the set from the bird. It can be best protected by placing it in a safe/secure container, such as the system's carrying can cover. The short-term storage procedures are on page 2-19 of TM 11-5685-200-34-1. First, that keeps you from using the set as a step or a stool. Second, if you do accidentally drop a tool or a wrench slips out of your hand as you torque a bolt in the rotor head, the set's not there to get damaged.

At $46 a pane, that's a hefty financial hit to your unit's budget. Be safe, rather than sorry, and safely store the countermeasure set when performing rotor head maintenance. |
