If you haven’t heard, the lube requirement for the Black Hawk stabilator actuator has increased from 380 hours to 480 hours.  This affects the following TMs and related work packages:
  • TM 1-1520-280-23&P (May 22), WP 0283, LUBRICATE STABILATOR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
  • TM 1-1520-237-23&P (Mar 22), WP 0265, LUBRICATE STABILATOR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
  • TM 1-1520-246-23&P (Jun 21), WP 1852, LUBRICATE STABILATOR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
The work packages in the TM will still list the inspection at every 360 hours until the next TM revision is released, so be sure to post this change in IADS as described in our PS story HERE..
