Cards cost anywhere from $1,000–
$4,000. The HARS, NSN 6605-01-161-

Here are the cards available:
epairmen, if an Apache’s Heading
Altitude Reference System (HARS)
fails, don’t order a new one. It’s cheaper
to replace bad circuit cards.
Communications-Electronics Com-
mand (CECOM) has fielded a tester to
units that lets you determine which card
is bad. Just turn in one bad card (to the
depot designated on the FED LOG’s
Automatic Return Item List) and order
a good one.
