echanics, when your AH-64 aircraft is due for a 250-hour scheduled inspection of the
drive shaft, don’t be in a rush to snatch off panels.
Before removing a panel, you need to know if there is wiring connected to it.
To inspect the drive shaft properly, the drive shaft panels must be removed. One of
those panels, the T355 panel, has a rear formation light attached to it. If you rush to
remove the panel before disconnecting the wires, you could rip them out!
So make sure the rear formation light is disconnected first before removing screws and
panels. That way, you’ll avoid turning an inspection into a repair job to replace wiring, pins
and the light.
