SOUM for Aircraft Update
On Page 2 in PS 589 we said that information on aircraft safety-of-use messages is covered in
AR 95-3 Aviation:
General Provisions, Training, Standardization and Resource Management.
The reference should be AR 95-1,
Flight Regulations
. All the information contained in AR 95-
3 was merged into AR 95-1.

Armorers, the standard for the clearance
between the M2 machine gun’s cover latch
and the receiver’s top plate has been
changed to .02 inch, regardless of whether
your unit is CONUS or OCONUS. The check is
in Para 3-3 in TM 9-1005-213-23.

the HGU-56/P or the SPH- 4B flight helmets? There
is an additional electronic test set, NSN 6625-01-
251-8705 that units can buy to troubleshoot the
