20-77).
NOTE - THIS IS AN AVIATION SAFETY ACTION MESSAGE ISSUED PER AR
95-3, CHAPTER 5 REVISION VIA MESSAGE HQ AVSCOM, AMSAV-XSOF,
181900Z SEP 90, SUBJECT: CHANGE TO AR 95-3, CHAPTER 5, SAFETY
OF FLIGHT MESSAGES. THIS MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN TRANSMITTED TO
UNITS SUBORDINATE TO ADDRESSEES. ADDRESSEES SHOULD IMMEDIATELY
RETRANSMIT THIS MESSAGE TO ALL SUBORDINATE UNITS, ACTIVITIES OR
ELEMENTS AFFECTED OR CONCERNED. THE RETRANSMITTAL SHALL
REFERENCE THE MESSAGE. ACTION ADDRESSES WILL IMMEDIATELY
VERIFY THIS RETRANSMISSION TO COMMANDER, ATCOM, ATTN - AMSAT-R-
X (SOF COMPLIANCE OFFICER).
1. PRIORITY CLASSIFICATION -
A. AIRCRAFT IN USE - UPON RECEIPT OF THIS MESSAGE THE
CONDITION STATUS SYMBOL OF THE CITED AIRCRAFT WILL BE CHANGED
TO A RED HORIZONTAL DASH //-//. THE RED HORIZONTAL DASH //-//
MAY BE CLEARED WHEN THE INSPECTION OF PARA 8 BELOW IS
COMPLETED. THE AFFECTED AIRCRAFT SHALL BE INSPECTED AS SOON AS
PRACTICAL BUT NO LATER THAN THE TASK/INSPECTION SUSPENSE DATE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS MESSAGE WITHIN
THE TIME FRAME WILL CAUSE THE STATUS SYMBOL TO BE UPGRADED TO A
RED //X//.
B. AIRCRAFT IN DEPOT MAINTENANCE - SAME AS PARA 1A.
C. AIRCRAFT UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE SAME AS PARA 1A.
D. AIRCRAFT IN TRANSIT -
(1) SURFACE/AIR SHIPMENT - SAME AS PARA 1A
(2) FERRY STATUS - SAME AS PARA 1A.
E. MAINTENANCE TRAINERS (CATEGORY A, B) - SAME AS PARA 1A.
F. COMPONENT/PARTS IN STOCK INCLUDING WAR RESERVES AT ALL
LEVELS (DEPOT AND OTHERS) - N/A.
2. TASK/INSPECTION SUSPENSE DATE -
A. THE BEARINGS LISTED IN PARAGRAPHS 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D AND
6E SHALL BE INSPECTED AND LUBRICATED AT THE NEXT PHASE
INSPECTION.
B. THE BEARINGS LISTED IN PARAGRAPHS 6F, 6G AND 6H, THE
PEDAL BOX BEARINGS, SHALL BE INSPECTED AT NEXT PHASE INSPECTION
AND LUBRICATED ONLY IF THEY ARE REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT.
NOTE

OF THE COCKPIT CONTROL WERE NOTED. DURING SINGLE BOOST
CONTROLS MOTION CHECKS, THE CONTROLS EXHIBITED ABNORMAL CROSS-
COUPLINGS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS AXES, AND IN SOME POSITIONS
REQUIRED ABNORMALLY HIGH FORCES TO MOVE. WHEN THE COLLECTIVE
MAG BRAKE WAS RELEASED, THE THRUST CONTROL LEVER ROSE TO ABOVE
ITS NORMAL DETENT POSITION. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT
A FLIGHT CONTROL ROD END BEARING HOUSING HAD SEPARATED.
B. FOR MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS SEE PARA 12.

8. INSPECTION PROCEDURES -
CAUTION
THE FOLLOWING INSPECTIONS SHALL BE CAREFULLY PERFORMED DUE TO
THE SENSITIVITY OF BEARING SEALS.
A. INSTALL SERVOCYLINDER SAFETY BLOCKS PER TM 55-1520-240-
23 MAINTENANCE MANUAL, TASK 11-28.
B. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC POWER. DISCONNECT
THE BATTERY PER TM 55-1520-240-23, TASK 1-39.
C. INSPECT ROD END BEARINGS (ROLLING ELEMENT) LOCATED IN
ALL AREAS SPECIFIED IN PARA 6 IAW TM 55-1520-240-23 AND AS
FOLLOWS:
NOTE
ROLLING ELEMENT BEARINGS AFFECTED BY THIS ASAM ARE LOCATED IN
THE 1ST AND 2ND STAGE MIXING UNITS, FORWARD PYLON, TUNNEL AREA,
AFT FUSELAGE, AFT PYLON AND PEDAL BOX AREA ONLY.
(1) WHERE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF AN UNSERVICEABLE
BEARING, DISCONNECT SUFFICIENT PARTS OF THE SYSTEM AS REQUIRED
SO THAT THE INDIVIDUAL BEARINGS MAY BE EXAMINED BY HAND
ROTATION. SERVICEABLE CONDITION, WELL-LUBRICATED BEARINGS FEEL
SMOOTH WITH NO PERCEPTIBLE ROUGHNESS, CATCHING OR BINDING.
EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL CORROSION OR WORN PLATING SHOULD BE EVIDENT
ON THE BEARING EXTERIOR, AND SHIELDS AND SEALS SHOULD BE
UNDAMAGED AND OPERABLE.
(2) UNSERVICEABLE BEARINGS ARE THOSE WHICH HAVE ONE OR
MORE OF THE FOLLOWING DISCREPANCIES:
(A) "FRACTURED COMPONENTS": REPLACE ALL
BEARINGS WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN RINGS, RETAINERS, OR ROLLING
ELEMENTS.
(B) "FROZEN BEARINGS": REPLACE ALL BEARINGS
THAT ARE FROZEN AND CANNOT BE ROTATED.
(C) "DAMAGED SEALS AND SHIELDS": REPLACE
BEARINGS IF SEALS AND SHIELDS ARE DAMAGED, WARPED, OR BENT.
(D) "ROUGH BEARINGS": REPLACE ANY BEARING THAT
HAS ANY OBVIOUS CATCHING OR BINDING WHEN ROTATED BY HAND.
ROUGHNESS MAY BE CAUSED BY CAKED OR DETERIORATED GREASE,
FOREIGN PARTICLES, CORROSION, BRINELLING FROM IMPROPER
INSTALLATION, SPALLING OF THE ROLLING ELEMENTS FROM METAL
FATIGUE. THE LATTER THREE CAUSES OF ROUGHNESS CAN BE CORRECTED
ONLY BY REPLACEMENT OF THE BEARING. THE FIRST TWO CAUSES MAY
BE CORRECTED BY CLEANING AND RE-LUBRICATION.
(E) "LOOSE BEARINGS": REPLACE THE BEARING IF
LOOSENESS IS DETECTED IN EITHER AXIAL OR RADICAL PLAY. REFER
TO THE APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR ALLOWABLE LIMITS.
(F) "NOISY BEARINGS": NOISY BEARINGS USUALLY
INDICATE A LACK OF LUBRICANT. RETURN THE BEARINGS TO SERVICE
IF LUBRICATION ALLEVIATES THE PROBLEM. REPLACE THE BEARING IF
RE-LUBRICATION DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
(G) "CORRODED BEARINGS": EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
CORROSION FREQUENTLY INDICATED THAT THE INTERIOR MAY BE
CORRODED. REPLACE THE BEARING.
(H) "CAKED OR DETERIORATED GREASE": DAMAGE TO
BEARINGS MAY RESULT FROM LACK OF LUBRICANT, CAKED OR
DETERIORATED GREASE. REPLACE THE BEARING IF LUBRICATION DOES
NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
(I) "ROD ENDS": WHEN ROD ENDS ARE INSPECTED,
THE THREADED PORTION OF THE SHANK SHOULD BE EXAMINED FOR
DAMAGED THREADS OR LOOSENESS BETWEEN THE SHANK AND THE LINKAGE
OR ROD, AND FRETTING ABRASION OR WEAR. CHECK FOR CRACKS IN THE
THIN SECTION OF THE HOUSING ADJOINING THE SHANK. REPLACE THE
ROD END BEARING FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS. THE ABOVE
INSPECTION IS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT REMOVING ROD END FROM FLIGHT
CONTROL ROD.
NOTE
ROD END BEARINGS MAY HAVE EITHER OF TWO TYPES OF INTEGRAL
LUBRICATION PROVISIONS (GREASE FITTINGS):
(A) RED NYLON TYPE
(B) NAS516-1A BALL CHECK TYPE
THE NOZZLE TO BE USED FOR LUBRICATING THE BEARING IS EITHER
MS24203 NOZZLE OR ALEMITE NOZZLE 314150.
9. CORRECTION PROCEDURES -
CAUTION
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES SHALL BE PERFORMED CAREFULLY DUE TO
THE SENSITIVITY OF BEARING SEALS.
NOTE
THE ROD END BEARINGS THAT ARE LOCATED IN PEDAL BOX AREA, FLIGHT
COCKPIT CONTROLS, PILOT COCKPIT CONTROLS ASSEMBLY, AND COPILOT
COCKPIT CONTROLS ASSEMBLY (PARAGRAPHS 6F, 6G AND 6H), ARE NOT
EXPOSED TO THE SAME SEVERE CONDITIONS AS THE OTHER BEARINGS IN
THIS ASAM. THE PEDAL BOX BEARINGS ARE IN AN ENCLOSED
PROTECTIVE AREA AND WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO LUBRICATE BEARINGS
WITHOUT REMOVING THEM FROM THE AIRCRAFT; THEREFORE, THE NEED TO
LUBRICATE THESE BEARINGS AT THE SAME SCHEDULE AS THE OTHER
BEARINGS IS NOT NEEDED.
A. ROD END BEARINGS LOCATED IN THE PEDAL BOX AREA AS
SPECIFIED IN PARA 6F, 6G AND 6H SHALL BE LUBRICATED ONLY WHEN
THE PEDAL BOXES ARE REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT FOR OTHER
REASONS.
B. ROD END BEARINGS LOCATED IN THE AREAS SPECIFIED IN
PARA 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, AND 6E SHALL BE LUBRICATED BY THE
TASK/INSPECTION SUSPENSE DATE AND EVERY PHASE 3 INSPECTION
THEREAFTER.
C. LUBRICATE THE FLIGHT CONTROL ROD END ROLLING ELEMENT
BEARINGS AS FOLLOWS:
(1) IDENTIFY AND LOCATE BEARINGS TO BE RE-
LUBRICATED. SEE PARAGRAPH 7 FOR BEARINGS THAT ARE EFFECTED.
(2) PRIOR TO LUBRICATION, ENSURE THAT THE
GREASE GUN AND NOZZLE ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF CONTAMINATION.
(3) FILL THE GREASE GUN WITH MIL-G-81322 WIDE
TEMPERATURE GREASE.
(4) IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE SOME FLIGHT
CONTROL LINKS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE ROD END BEARING
GREASE FITTING.
(5) CLEAN THE EXTERIOR OF THE BEARING USING A
CLEAN CLOTH.
NOTE
CLEANLINESS CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED WITH RESPECT TO
PROLONGING BEARING LIFE.
(6) DO NOT REMOVE BEARING FROM ROD END
COMPONENT.
CAUTION
DURING APPLICATION OF GREASE TAKE CARE IN OPERATING THE GREASE
GUN SO THAT YOU DO NOT OVER-PRESSURIZE AND DAMAGE THE BEARING
SEALS/SHIELDS. OPERATE THE GREASE GUN IN A SLOW AND SMOOTH
TECHNIQUE DURING APPLICATION.
(7) USING MIL-G-81322 GREASE AND A HAND
OPERATED GREASE GUN, ATTACH THE GUN AND PRESSURIZE.
(8) ALLOW THE GREASE TO FLOW UNTIL GREASE THAT
EXUDES OUT FROM AROUND THE BEARING IS CLEAN. IF POSSIBLE, THE
BEARING SHOULD BE ROTATED 360 DEGREES DURING LUBRICATION.
NOTE
THE ABOVE PROCEDURE REMOVES SOME DIRTY GREASE FROM THE BEARING
CAVITY AND TENDS TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF GREASE LEFT INSIDE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS TYPE OF RE-LUBRICATION IS TO MAINTAIN
INTERNAL CORROSION PROTECTION AS MUCH AS TO SUSTAIN LOW
FRICTION.
(9) USING A CLEAN CLOTH, WIPE THE EXCESS GREASE
OFF THE BEARING ROD END.
(10) TURN ON THE ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC
POWER.
(11) REMOVE SERVOCYLINDER SAFETY BLOCKS PER TM
55-1520-240-23 MAINTENANCE MANUAL, TASK 11-29.
