40-HOUR INSPECTION CHECKLIST
FOR
UH-60A, UH-60L, EH-60A, HH-60A, AND HH-60L HELICOPTERS

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL


Inspection Requirements
This manual contains complete requirements for the 40 hour PMS inspection for the UH-60A, UH-60L, EH-60A, HH-60A, and HH-60L helicopter. It does not contain in-
structions for repair, adjustments, or other means of rectifying conditions, nor does it contain instructions for troubleshooting to find causes for malfunctioning. Specific
tolerances, limits, etc., can be found in the applicable maintenance manuals. Use of the alphabetical index in the applicable manuals will facilitate locating the required
information.
This manual may contain inspection requirements applicable to specific equipment not installed on individual helicopters. When this situation is met, those requirements
that are not applicable should be disregarded.
DA Form 2408-13-1 will be used to record all deficiencies and shortcomings discovered during the PMS/40hr inspections.
A 1-inch space following each area of inspection is provided to allow insertion of special inspection items resulting from TBs, MWOs, etc., and local command inspection
items.
Accessing procedures and detailed inspection criteria can be found in the applicable maintenance manuals. Unless otherwise directed opened doors will be closed upon
completion of each area inspection. All inspections are visual unless otherwise noted.

Requests for Engineering Authorization


All requests for engineering authorization, when required by this manual, will be forwarded to Commander, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, ATTN: AMSRD-
AMR-AE-U, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898. Urgent requests shall be clearly identified to ensure priority handling and response. The requests shall include detailed infor-
mation on the problem, e.g., sketches, photographs, dimensional data, etc., to assist in the evaluation and prompt reply.

Kapton Wires
Some UH-60A helicopters have wires that are Kapton insulated. The outer jacket of this type wire is dark-yellow and provides a surface for wire identification. Under the
dark-yellow jacket is the copper-colored Kapton insulation. Beneath the insulation is the silver-coated electrical wire. If the outer jacket wears or peels, the copper-col-
ored insulation may become visible. Exposure of copper-colored insulation is not a failure. Wire repair/replacement is required only if the insulation is damaged and/or
the electrical wire is exposed.

40–HOUR INSPECTION CHECKLIST
FOR
UH-60A, UH-60L, EH-60A, HH-60A, AND HH-60L HELICOPTERS

GENERAL INFORMATION

SCOPE
The inspections prescribed by this manual will be performed at a 40 +/- 2-hour interval by AVUM activities with the assistance of AVIM activities when required. The 40
hour PMS inspection interval may be extended to complete a scheduled flight. The inspection, when due, need not interrupt the flight during which the inspection becomes
due. In no case will the helicopter intentionally be scheduled for a flight that will cause it to exceed the 40 hour PMS inspection by more than 2 hours.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTE
Inspection items contained in this manual are considered the minimum requirements for performing a PMS inspection and must be performed.
The cumulative effects of inspection deferrals are unknown and could result in catastrophic failure or increased maintenance at a later date.

The inspection requirements herein establish when certain equipment is to be inspected and what conditions are desired. The requirements must be followed, in order to
make sure that damage is discovered and corrected before malfunctioning or serious trouble results. In order to arrange inspection requirements as nearly as possible
according to the manner in which work will be done, the requirements in each area are divided into groups under area headings (Figure 1). An area title indicates a spe-
cific helicopter location, which may include several systems or groups of related components within this given area. Refer to Army Regulations and Operator’s Manual
for personnel requirements and procedures for ground run and flight checking the helicopter.

NOTE
• The 40 Hour inspection is normally done by two Tactical Transport Helicopter Repairers, MOS 15T. The two MOS 15T’s are called A and B. Each inspection
item is to be done by either mechanic. A or mechanic B as called out opposite the inspection procedure. Where both A and B are called for in the same proce-
dure, A should do the inspection on the left side of the helicopter and B should do it on the right side. MOS 15N personnel will be required for power-on checks.
• Before starting this inspection, review aircraft forms and records for discrepancies (PAM 738-751).
• Review cleaning requirements in TM 1-1520-237-23.
• Review lubrication requirements in TM 1-1520-237-23. Lubrication requirements posted in TM 1-1520-237-23 are a
minimum. When operating in dry, dusty, and/or sandy conditions, special attention should be given to
exposed areas particularly; the main and tail gear struts and the exposed stabilator actuator piston.
• Refer to TM 1-1520-237-23 for specific inspection procedures and accept/reject criteria.
