echanics, at the end of the day, it’s not enough to just close your AH-64A/D
doors.
Every door, latch, and quick-release pin must be secured on your aircraft to protect
it from high winds.
In flight, loose doors can fly
open, and crack, break or rip off
hinges, mounting hardware or
shims. If that happens, your bird
could suffer major structural and
engine damage. That could put
crew and aircraft at risk.
Even on the ground, when
aircraft
doors
are
not
fully
secured, high winds can damage
your bird. If the winds rip open
loose doors, the flapping doors
can damage the airframe.
Even securing the latches on
the catwalk area alone won’t keep
the doors closed. You must secure
the quick-release pins, too.
So
after
maintenance
or
inspections, take time to lock
down and button up all your
bird’s doors.
