AH-64D…
P
ilots and gunners, your Apache’s
helmet display unit (HDU) cover is not
a step up for a quick exit.
So watch your big feet when you exit
the bird and steer clear of the cover.
Don’t
step on it!
The thin cover protects the HDU but
will crack under your weight. If you
step on the cover and crack it, you
could damage or break the HDU
device, too. Then the HDU is NMC.
Once you break the HDU, you won’t
be able to view the video display read-
ings in the eyepiece to fire the 30mm
gun or other weapons or be able to fly
during limited visibility conditions.
So pay attention and slow down
when the mission is over. The HDU
cover can’t handle your big feet.
