Oh contraire. Our -10 changes constantly...just not in a meaningful manner. For example, our latest change has a new paragraph added for the BAM window. It's a smaller sliding window on the cabin door window. The whole paragraph tells you how to open and close the simple sliding window. REALLY! It's easier to work than the little circular window/vent on the cockpit windows, which, ironically do NOT have a description on their use. I estimate only half of our HH-60Ms have the BAM window installed, yet this has been included in our latest -10 change. However, we've had an Aviation Safety Action Message (ASAM) modifying our EPs for hoist malfunctions that has missed the last two -10 changes.I always felt like the Army 60 manual had barely changed in 40 years.
Either spelling, gage/gauge, to refer to a little dial that tells you something. Maybe the people who made the change got the word confused with an old British general at Bunker Hill...?Edit: Another jewel: We changed the spelling of:
"The handpump reservoir contains a sight gage above the handpump crank."
to:
"The handpump reservoir contains a sight gauge above the handpump crank."
Fellow Prowler bubbas . . . anyone know what the final verdict was at sundown? Did an EA-6B ever have flaperon pop-ups in flight, or was the urban legend true that that boldface was just a carryover from the A-6 NATOPS?* According to sources at Sikorsky/United Technologies/Lockheed and some at the MTP school at Ft Rucker, there has been exactly ZERO stabilator hard-over accidents in the Blackhawk. ie no lawn dart incident ever actually occurred.
That's OK. One of these days, the Navy will discover (to its shock) that "practicable" is not a word, but just a bastardization of "practical."Either spelling, gage/gauge, to refer to a little dial that tells you something.

Every time I have to print out fifty pages of a PDF at the proper size/scale, then cut and glue changes to my PCL.
Nah, I think I'll preflight by candle light. More romantic.

Betcha you'd feel that in the seat of your pants real quick! ?In 2011/2012(?) a 129 jet came into the break and when they went to idle the flaperons popped up due to a mis-wired WOW switch. I don’t remember any of the details, but that was the jist of it. Instructor pilot handled it with no issues.
OK, I remember that one now that you mention it, and you could get the pops with a WoW fail for sure, because the jet thought it was on deck.In 2011/2012(?) a 129 jet came into the break and when they went to idle the flaperons popped up due to a mis-wired WOW switch.

But the penguin carrying the specifics of the hydraulic system that would cause that to happen has long left the iceberg.
Ipads. Ipads for everyone. Extra iPads to be checked out before flight for redundancy.
We just got tablets. I love their terrible battery life.
