Often the quick-disconnect power
cable is accidentally knocked loose
when the crew is doing the pre-Fight
checks or loading the Shadow on its
launcher. If the cable is re-connected
while the engine is already running, it
can fry the cable. Since the Shadow
is already powered up, there is no
need to re-connect the power cable
anyway. But remember to disconnect
the cable portion connected to the
air vehicle along with the cooling
fans when you get to that part of the
checklist.
N
ight vision weapon sights
AN/PVS-4 and -4A (LIN: N04732,
NSN 5855-00-629-5334 and NSN
5855-01-422-8782) and AN/TVS-5
and -5A (LIN: N04596, NSN 5855-
00-629-5327 and 5855-01-422-
8777) should not be ordered.
When they need to be
replaced, order the AN/PAS-
13 thermal weapon sight, LIN
S60356, NSN 5855-01-524-
4308. It is the latest in image
intensifiers because it requires
no outside light and will not be
affected if hit by direct light.
