 WHAT "'
 HAPPENED TO
THjE DOOR. '*


 Now you see it- now you don't??
 That's the way it is with the passenger doors on your Huey. Fly with a door
partly open, and the wind can yank it off.
 More tail rotor blades get FOD that way than you can shake a wand at!!
 No magic needed when you fly a doors-on bird, tho.
 Just make sure the door is latched closed. If you want the door open be sure
it's all the way open and secured with the cotter pin. This goes for all Huey
doors, except on the "A" model, which can't be secured in the open position.

 AIRBORNE SMOKE SCREEN




 The XM52 smoke-generating subsystem used on the Huey (UH-1D)
 needs a strainer in its fog-oil filling-line assembly. And, it needs it now.
 The strainer will catch any scum that may form in the fog-oil drum.
 Without the strainer the scummy stuff will get fed into the system and
 it'll cause wear and damage in the pump and motor assembly.
 The strainer (Part- No. U6697) is for free from your general support
 outfit.
 To install it you just remove the bulkhead quick-disconnect fitting from
 the dip tube assembly, clean the dip tube and hose assemblies, insert the
 strainer into the flared end of the dip tube and then replace the fitting on
 the tube.
 Then you can check the filling-line assembly at every filling and clean
 it as needed with solvent.
