b. The purpose of this manual is to familiarize youwith the maintenance functions to be performed atthe Aviation Unit and Intermediate Maintenancelevels. The Table of Contents for this manual isprovided to assist in determining the chapter in themanual in which individual functions are covered.This manual provides all essential information forpersonnel to accomplish Aviation Unit andIntermediate Maintenance on the complete airframe,its components, and systems, excluding armamentand avionics subsystems, as indicated for AviationUnit and Intermediate Maintenance activities in theMaintenance Allocation Chart (MAC). Refer toAppendix B.

c. Designator symbols are used in conjunctionwith text contents, text headings and illustration titlesto show limited affectivity of material. Designatorsymbols may precede a text heading or illustrationtitle to indicate proper affectivity, unless the materialapplies to all series and configurations within themanual. Designator symbols precede proceduralsteps and designated material in the text. If thematerial applies to all series and configurations. nodesignator symbols will be used. Where practical,descriptive information is condensed and combinedfor all models to avoid duplication. Data in thismanual are coded as follows:

rotors, short wings, and provisions for a variety ofarmament, The forward fuselage is built up on twomain longitudinal beams with lateral bulkheads,floors, shear panels, and decks of honeycomb panelconstruction, forming a box beam. Crewcompartments are arranged in tandem, with the pilotseated behind and above the gunner, and are coveredby a transparent canopy with two doors. Both doorsare sections of the canopy, hinged at top with thegunner door opening at left and the pilot door openingat right side. Both seats are protected by armor onbacks, seats and sides of supports. The compartmentarea is ventilated by forced air from a transmission-drive blower. The short wings provide support fora rmament mount ing py lons and a lso a idmaneuverability by providing lift at higher airspeeds.

b. Tailboom Section. The tailboom section,attached to the forward fuselage by four bolts, is atapered semimonocoque structure with a vertical finslanting up and aft at the rear end to support the tailrotor. Ballast is added to the aft end of tailboom tocontrol helicopter center of gravity limits. Lead shot isadded inside the tailskid on coded helicopters. Tailrotor driveshafts and gearboxes are mounted underrovers along the top of the tailboom and front of thevertical fin. A controllable elevator is also mounted onthe tailboom.

c. Propulsion System. The propulsion systemconsists of a gas turbine engine, main driveshaft,transmission and mast, main rotor, and tail rotor withdriveshafts and gearboxes. The transmission andengine are mounted on the fuselage aft of the crewcompartment and covered by cowling and fairing. Theengine drives the transmission through the maindriveshaft, rototating the mast and main rotor. Poweris also taken off the transmission to drive the tailrotor, which compensates for main rotor torque tocontrol the helicopter heading. Fuel tanks consist oftwo interconnected celIs, located in the fuselage.

d. Flight Controls. Flight controls are directmechanical linkages from sticks and pedals at pilotand gunner stations, assisted by hydraulic cylinderspowered by transmission-driven hydraulic pumps. Astabilization and control augmentation system is alsoincorporated in the control linkage to steady thehelicopter during use of armament.

e. Armament Provisions. Armament provisionsinclude mounting, wiring, and hydraulic lines for anarmament turret under the forward end of thefuselage, an ammunition compartment immediatelyaft of the turret location, sights and control panels at

crew stations, and mounting pylons for externalarmament pods on each wing. Helicopterscoded utilize hydraulically operated armamentturrets. Helicopters code and utilizeelectrically operated armament turrets.

f. Landing Gear. Lending gear is skid type witharched cross tubes attached to the fuselage. Exposedportions of cross tubes are covered by streamlinedfairings to reduce drag. A tail skid is provided to warnthe pilot in the event of a tail-low landing.

P-4. Destruction of Army Material to PreventEnemy Use.

For destruction of Army material to prevent enemyuse, refer to TM 750-244-1-5.

P-5. Maintenance of Forms and Records.

Maintenance of forms, records, and reports which areto be used by maintenance personnel at all mainte-nance levels are listed in and prescribed by DA PAM738-751.

P-6. Authority for Substitution.

Substitution or interchange of items of materiel formaintenance of Department of the Army helicoptershall not be authorized, nor shall orders be issued forshipment. Substitution or interchangeability shall onlybe authorized by US Army Aviation Systems Command(AVSCOM).

P-7. Special Tools and Equipment.

Aviation Unit and Intermediate Maintenance specialtools and equipment will be found in TM 55-1520-236-23P (Repair Parts and Special Tools List). Use ofspecial tools and equipment for complex tasks isdescribed in this manual.
