2-6. GENERAL
To ensure that the PNVS is ready for operation at all times, it must be checked at regular intervals.
These checks may uncover defects that must be corrected before they cause serious damage or failure.
2-7. PMCS PROCEDURES
PMCS information is contained in a table in this paragraph. The checks listed in the table are performed
by AVUM ground maintenance personnel in accordance with standard operating procedures. The
following is an explanation of the column headings in the table.
a. The Item No. column contains the item number in logical order of performance regardless of
interval. This column shall be used as a source of item numbers for the TM Number Column on
DA Form 2404, Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, in recording results of PMCS.
b. The Interval column tells you when to perform the PMCS. At present, the established interval is
250 hours of flying time.
c. The Item to be Inspected/Procedure column identifies the equipment area, the exact item of
equipment, and procedures. Procedures that are too lengthy to be included in the table are
referenced elsewhere in this manual.
