  1. GENERAL TIE-DOWN AND MOORING

  2. TM 1-1500-250-23 • Supplements, clarifies, standardizes the tie-down and mooring procedures in the -23 Technical Manuals for all series AH-64, UH-60, CH-47, UH-1, AH-1, and OH-58 helicopters to the maximum extent practicable. • When a conflict exists between this General TM and the aircraft specific -23 TMs, the Tie-Down and Mooring procedures described in this General TM shall be followed.

  3. TM 1-1500-250-23 • Every installation with Army aviation units will have secure mooring points for all assigned aircraft. Where points are not sufficient, installation engineers will take immediate action to install required mooring points.

  4. TM-1-1500-250-23 • NOTE: If unable to conform to the configurations shown within this TM, contact AMCOM Engineering (DSN 693-1679) for guidance. • Chains are to be attached to the aircraft as illustrated in the aircraft figure in the TM and are to be adjusted to remove slack in the chains.

  5. TM 1-1500-250-23 • Exceptions to the use of mooring chains is only approved under special circumstances where chain has proven to be undesirable such as the crossover mooring on the CH-47D. • The CGU-1B, 5000 pound capacity nylon tie-down strap is only authorized when hard stand mooring points are not available and the field mooring kit is used.

  8. Excessive Slack in Chains!

  9. TM 1-1500-250-23 • CAUTION: Ensure chain links are inserted into the MB1 chain adjuster as shown in figure 4-2. Incorrect insertion may cause the MB1 adjuster to fail and compromise the mooring system.

  10. Improper Chain Insertion

  11. Improper Chain Insertion (cont)

  12. Common Mistakes

  13. Common Mistakes (cont) VHF AM/FM #1 Antenna

  14. Chain Loop Assembly • Easier Accessibility • Easier chain adjustment • Easier to use in inclement weather (Snow)

  15. Common Mistakes (cont.)

  16. Common Mistakes (cont.)

  17. Mooring Procedures • If the aircraft being moored has more than one configuration, be sure that crew members are familiar with the proper mooring procedures for the specific aircraft configurations. • Examples

  18. Prevent This From Happening

  19. Be Sure Crew Members Know The Proper Techniques
