Y
our Black Hawk’s M130 chaff dis-
penser sits right in harm’s way. It’s a
target for APU, engine and main
rotor fan exhaust moisture and dirt.
All that crud will corrode the con-
tacts and make the dispenser NMC.
The PMCS chart in TM 9-1095-
206-12 tells you to check the dis-
penser before operation, after every
25 hours of operation and monthly.
Do it! If you don’t, all that gunk
can get into an empty payload mod-
ule assembly and muck up the firing
contacts and corrode the flat springs.
If it’s bad enough, you’ll have to
replace them.
‘Course, when you’re not using the
dispenser, use nylon cover, NSN
1730-01-456-2557, to protect the
dispenser.
