P
ilots and copilots, now that your Black Hawks have multi-functional display (MFD)
panels, a little more attention to detail will help you avoid disastrous results.
Make sure you don’t rush through the pre-flight steps on the MFD panel and in
your -10 operators manual. Check all warnings and advisories on the MFD and posted
signs to prevent damage or death.
Believe it or not, one pilot paged
through the advisories and warnings
on the MFD too quickly, released the
rotor brake while the gust lock was still
engaged and destroyed the gust lock!
When the engines are running during pre-
flights, you cannot release the rotor brake
until the gust lock is released. The MFD
panel instructions walk you through pre-
flight procedures and tell you the gust lock
is engaged, but if you miss the information
by rushing, damage will occur.
Pay
Attention
to the
MFDs
