techs, are you having trouble getting the earcup assembly, NSN 8415-01-395-
6841, for your HGU-56/P aircrew integrated helmet system (AIHS)?
The problem is an incorrect SMR code listed for Item 12 in Figure F-2 of TM 1-
8415-216-12&P that told you to order the assembly.
Make a note until the TM is updated and check for all aviation life support infor-
mation on the PM Air Warrior web site at:
