ircraft mechanics and supply types,
don’t turn in your B16-managed avion-
ics test equipment to the Defense
Reutilization and Marketing Office
(DRMO) before checking with the item
manager.
The Army is critically short of test
sets, and when DRMO gets them, the
shortage gets worse.
Many of the test sets have repair pro-
grams and can be repaired and put back
into service right away. Here’s a sam-
pling of test sets that are in short supply
and the list of item managers to call:
If you have questions about other B16-managed avionics test equipment, contact
CECOM’s Vicky Stanley at DSN 992-2784, (732) 532-2784, e-mail

with a repair bill if the seat is damaged.
So never use the seat as a step. Handle
and store seats like it says in Para 2-4-46
of TM 1-1520-237-23-2 if you want

rew chiefs, there’s only one right way
to get to the supplies and equipment
stored in the transition area of your
Black Hawk.
Disconnecting the top latches of the
aft outboard troop seats and lowering
them onto the cabin floor is
not
it.
When the outboard seats are on the
floor, the aluminum seat tubes rest on
delicate wires. Then when you step on
the seats to reach the transition area
you’ll crush the seat tube and possibly
break the wires.
Those wires feed the AN/ASN-43
gyro magnetic compass, the communi-
cation coaxials, and the AN/APR-39
radar signal detecting set. You won’t be

nals from search radar stations if the
