Together these sections give a maintenance test pilot everything needed to plan, brief, run, and document a general or limited maintenance test flight on the UH-60A, UH-60L, or EH-60A, with step-by-step ground and airborne checks tied to specific caution lights, RPM and torque limits, and engine start parameters for both T700-GE-700 and T700-GE-701C powered aircraft.

Why Maintenance Crews Rely On This Manual

The UH-60A UH-60L EH-60A Helicopter Maintenance Test Flight Manual walks through every checklist item a maintenance test pilot needs, including engine start Ng speed windows, starter dropout percentages, ENG OIL PRESS minimums, rotor RPM droop-stop ranges, and torque matching limits, so nothing is left to memory or guesswork. It also documents the fault isolation references that tie back to the Avionics Fault Isolation Procedures Manuals for both the UH-60A/L and EH-60A configurations.

With this TM 1-1520-237-MTF maintenance test flight manual, a technician or maintenance test pilot can confirm airframe, powerplant, and mission-equipment performance against the exact Army-specified tolerances before returning an aircraft to service – rather than relying on outdated photocopies or incomplete extracts. Following the published procedures and limits in this manual helps protect the aircraft, crew, and mission equipment, and supports proper sign-off documentation on DA Form 2408-13-1 and the Test Flight Check Sheet.
