NOTE
Removal of the pilots seat from the aircraft is optional (discretionary) for
inspection purposes -it is not a requirement.
(2) Remove the Pilots Seat I/A/W, task 11.46. Remove the panel (7-311113683-31) directly
aft of the cyclic (task 11.181).
CAUTION
Ensure that no fasteners, tools or debris (FOD) is allowed to drop down
into any open access covers above the foward fuel cell. Failure to do so
may result in removal of the Foward Fuel Cell to retrieve foreign objects.
(3) Remove the Pilots Cyclic Stick Cover I/A/W, task 11.46. Remove the panel (7-311113683-
31) directly aft of the cyclic (task 11.181).
(4) Remove the Pilots left hand (L/H) Scuff Plate (7-311180010-19), I/A/W task 2.182.
(5) Remove the SPAD Access Cover (7-311111110-25), underneath the Scuff Plate.
Pilots Directional SPAD
CAUTION
Ensure that no fasteners, tools or debris (FOD) is allowed to drop down
into any open access covers above the Gun Turret. Failure to do so may
result In removal of the Gun Turret to retrieve foreign objects.
(6) The Directional SPAD may be viewed through the Pilots Directional SPAD Access Cover
opening (removed). Visually inspect the micro switches for security using a flashlight and inspection mirror.
Reference paragraph 8.c.(7) below for inspection criteria.
NOTE
The following SPAD Switch inspection criteria is typical for all the SPAD
switches in the aircraft. The tasks referenced throughout this procedure refer to
TM 1-1520-238-23. Use inspection mirrors and flashlights as required.
If a shear pin(s) cannot be removed by conventional means after repeated
attempts from any of the SPAD Assemblies (CPG or Pilot), deliberately shearing
the shear pin is permitted. Ensure both ends of the pin are removed. Prevent
foreign object damage (FOD).
If either/both SPAD microswitches fail the following mounting security check or
electrical continuity test, contact your local ATCOM LAR or MPHC CFSR for
disposition instructions.
(7) Visually inspect the SPAD microswitches (designated S1 & S2) for mounting security.
NOTE
The following inspection is for information and recording purposes only. It the
characteristics listed below are evident, or are not in evidence - these factors are
not cause for rejection of the SPAD Assembly.
(8) Inspect the microswitches for the following characteristics and record results - only.
