AFTER OPERATIONS PMCS
Perform these checks after every flight. Allow engines to cool before checking oil levels.
Enter your info first. Green OK, red NFMC. Print when done.
Check engine compartments for fluid leaks — oil, fuel, or hydraulic fluid on components or ground
Check engine oil levels (No. 1 and No. 2) — top off if low; investigate if significantly below normal
Check transmission oil levels (forward, aft, combining) — top off if low; check for leaks
Check hydraulic fluid levels (No. 1 and No. 2) — top off if low; check for leaks at lines and fittings
Inspect rotor blades (forward and aft) — check for new damage, delamination, or erosion after flight
Inspect rotor heads (forward and aft) — check for loose hardware, cracks, or damage sustained during flight
Check engine inlets and exhausts — inspect for FOD, bird strikes, or damage
Inspect fuselage for new damage — check skin, windows, and doors for impact damage or cracks
Check cargo hook condition — inspect for damage after sling load operations; clean and lubricate as required
Secure aircraft — install rotor tie-downs, covers, and ground aircraft per local SOP
NFMC — No Further Movement Criteria. Any fault on an NFMC item means the vehicle is non-mission-capable and must not be dispatched until repaired. Annotate on DA Form 5988 immediately.
