echanics, whenever you wash clothing, the rinse cycle is needed to get all the soap
out. Guess what? The same goes for your aircraft.
For instance, when it’s time to wash your bird’s engines, the wash mix solution is
tough on paint ±nishes.
After the wash solution is run through sections of the engines and the engines are
rinsed, much of the engine wash solution runs down the side of your helicopter.
If you don’t rinse the cleaning solution and soap residue off the airframe, the
chemical residue dries on the airframe and gets baked on by the sun.
On the site, you’ll ±nd PM contact information, technical publications info,
newsletters, Air Worthiness Releases (AWR), AMCOM Aviation Safety Messages,
Aviation Maintenance Actions Messages (AMAM), Aviation Safety Action
Messages (ASAM), Maintenance Information Messages (MIM), Safety of Flight
(SOF) Messages, and training information.
PM JTDI maintains the websites for various Army aviation PMs such as
Aeromechanics, AH-64, Black Hawk, Chinook and Kiowa Warrior. Each website
is managed separately by each PM. That means you do not have cross access to
platforms other than your own airframe.
If you are a user of JTDI, check out the new and improved help desk:
Or you can call 1-888-JTDI-SOS (1-888-583-4767) for help.
