MAINTENANCE AND TESTING

position (fig. 7-13) and the system is cycled, the rounds are removed from the elements by a sprocket and guided into the elements in the aircraft adapter. The rounds are carried from the aircraft adapter to the aircraft drum. The elements entering the aircraft adapter from the aircraft system contain spent cases or cleared rounds. These rounds are removed from the aircraft elements and are guided by a sprocket into the elements of the conveyor system for transfer to the transporter. Q1. Q2. Q3. REVIEW NUMBER 2 In what type of environment must transporter loading or downloading operations be conducted? List the conditions that might exist in a given load or download operation. When you connect or remove the interface unit to or from the aircraft adapter, it must be in what position ? MAINTENANCE AND TESTING LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify maintenance and testing procedures at the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance. Maintenance of the LALS is concentrated at the intermediate maintenance level. The scheduled maintenance procedures are outlined on preoperational and calendar MRCs. The unscheduled maintenance procedures are outlined in Linkless Ammunition Loading System, NAVAIR 19-01-125. Organizational-level maintenance requirements are minimal. Proper use of the LALS reduces unscheduled maintenance. Before use, you need to check the general condition of the LALS for obvious damage. Proper timing of the LALS system before mating one unit with another unit or to the aircraft gun system is the most important part in the organizational maintenance of the LALS. Q1. Q2. Q3. REVIEW NUMBER 3 The LALS is maintained at the _____________. Scheduled maintenance procedures for the LALS are outlined in__________________. At the organizational level, what is the most important maintenance practice you should follow when working on the LALS? SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify safety precautions to follow when working with the LALS. Figure 7-13.—Ammunition flow in load/download mode. 7-13
