Section V. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
2-14.
SCOPE. The ERFS requires some preventive
maintenance checks and services. Once the system is
installed on the aircraft, it will be treated as part of the
aircraft. PMCS are normally visual inspections of the
fuel tanks, fuel system hoses, fittings, and the FMCP.
The FMCP checks consist of checking lights, switches,
and pumps, Table 2-6.
WARNING
Installing the non-crashworthy ERFS
increases
the
potential
for
thermal
injuries
during
a
crash
sequence.
Therefore, the number of personnel on
board the aircraft will be kept to the
minimum
required
to
perform
the
required
mission.
Additionally,
all
personnel are required to be seated with
a lap belt during flight.
