ilots and copilots, are you in a hurry to enter or exit your AH-64? Did you know
your feet are a dangerous weapon to your aircraft controls?
Avoid causing extra work by steering your feet clear of the cyclic stick.
The cyclic is a delicate control
that maneuvers the bird’s flight
path. One swift kick to the stick,
and you can roll the automatic
roller detent decoupler (ARDD)
on the D model or break a shear
pin on the A model.
If you plan on flying your bird,
your best bet is to keep those feet
from kicking the stick. Because a
broken cyclic is nothing to shake
a stick at.
M
echanics, the Pall puriFer, NSN 4330-01-522-2007, does a great job in purifying
and purging your Chinook’s hydraulic systems.
You’ll be glad to hear you can save money when ordering parts. The commercial
parts manual lists the coalescing Flter assembly, NSN 4330-01-529-1901, as a
Flter. But it should be broken down to show there’s a Flter element available. That’s
good news.
Make a note that the coalescing Flter assembly contains a Flter element, NSN
4330-00-300-7749, that can be ordered.
If you’ve been ordering the complete assembly to replace the Flter element,
STOP
. Just order the Flter element. Stocks are on hand.
In fact, the coalescing Flter assembly is not readily available in the supply system.
Replacing the assembly costs a whopping $639.00 while the Flter element only cost
$127.00. That’s a big saving to your unit’s bottom line.
Pencil in the Flter element NSN in your commercial manual until it is updated.
