I think if it was changed to \'On aircraft\' instead of \'Required for\' the confusion would be gone. Actually, asked a couple of teachers here on drill and they read it at first that it was only required for for encapsulated toilets.

We are finding that if they are rigged by the book the sequence order is fine. If you put the cable that the -4 requires, the sequence is all out of whack.

When you say it like that, it makes sense. I wasn\'t reading it like that.

On the H3s, they have encapsulated toilets. The 1C-130A-23CL-1 step 9 reads: 9. Remove right and left ramp hinge panels and belly band panel. (Required for aircraft with encapsulated toilet, only on wash prior to ISO.) Wasn\'t the purpose of this actually for planes with the Urinal Drain Tubes? I was thinking it should read \'Not required for...\'. I know it used to get nasty and corroded with the drain tubes in these areas. The way the book reads now, it would never get accomplished on aircraft with drain tubes.

Yeah, we got copies of all the TCTOs. Ended up we making custom cables for the airplanes. They were all the same, but were shorter than the sets in the -4. We have H3\'s from three different bases. (92, 93 and 94s) They were all out of rig. A couple of other bases started to look at it and found the samething.

It seems all our planes are out of tolerance. Looks like a world wide one time.

Does or has anyone actually done the rig check before installing liferafts? We have two airplanes that can\'t be rigged IAW the JG(probably all our planes). We suspect that the cables all remained the same and at sometime when the bottle head, conduit and cable requirements changed that it threw the rigs completely off. Incidently, prior to actually starting the rig with the properly equiped dummy bottles installed the deploy sequence was backwards. It was: Outbd bottle Outbd strap Outbd door Inbd bottle Inbd strap Inbd door
