NOTE
a. Position the fairly leveled helicopter in an area that
will accommodate the equipment, as shown in figure 4-2.
Technicians should now assume the gunner's
and pilot's positions and remain there for the
remainder of the alignment and boresighting.
Do not lean on or stand on the aircraft skids
during this operation.
f.
Place the center target assembly (foldout FO-11
sheet 3) forward of the helicopter and at a distance of 1000
6 inches (83 feet 4 inches, 6 inches), keeping the target
perpendicular to the imaginary centerline of the helicopter
as much as possible on initial placement.
g. Place the borescope in the center hole of the TSU
boresight device. Sight through the borescope at the TSU
boresight device target.
h. With the assistance of a second person to move the
center target assembly in azimuth and elevation as directed
by the person viewing the target through the borescope,
adjust the center target assembly so that the intersection of
the TSU boresight device target is coincident with the
intersection of the crosshairs within the small circle of the
borescope reticle.
