Windshields
Before you cover the windshields,
clean them
and
the cover. Even fine dust
can scratch the windshield when the wind
blows. When you attach the cover, make
sure it’s snug. Otherwise, wind will blow
sand under the edges.
Optics and Commo
When not in use, keep optic
lenses covered with cling film,
NSN 5330-00-766-0062. Use a
vacuum, NSN 7910-00-807-3704,
to suck up dirt and sand from
instrument panels, switches, flight
controls and cable connectors.
When not in use, keep all avion-
ics equipment covered. Just a little
sand will grind up delicate commo.
Aircraft maintenance
in the desert starts
with keeping your
bird
clean
and
under cover.
That way, blowing
sand
can’t destroy
optics, aircraft wind-
shields, avionics,
and engines.
