echanics, if you tie together the REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT streamers to
prevent losing your AH-64 exhaust covers, you’ll get damage you don’t want. You
must leave the streamers untied after the exhaust covers are tightly secured.
Tying streamers together causes problems. If a cover falls out on a windy day, it
will hang in the wind and bang against the airframe, causing unnecessary damage.
To make matters worse, the wind can also blow hanging covers into the EFAB and
the environmental control system (ECS) exhaust vents. To prevent damage, leave the
streamers untied after the covers are installed. This will keep your aircraft from being
on the NMC list.
