All Aircraft…
M
echanics, don’t be tempted to tinker with or try to repair your aircraft searchlights.
If you’ve got searchlight retracting or rotating problems, get your TMs out and do
your AVUM inspections and troubleshooting, but leave the repairs to AVIM.
But, you say that you have a knack for
fixing things? Maybe so, but tinkering
with your bird’s searchlight electrical
components and gears or removing gear
covers to investigate is not your job.
Once you damage the searchlights try-
ing to repair them, your lights are out.
Then you won’t find anything in the dark
or in the fog.
Perform your AVUM mission, but
leave the AVIM work to AVIM.
I’ve got

troubles.
