Rotorstables
Conducting periodic aircraft system preventative maintenance checks can alert crews to unscheduled problems. They include logbook reveiw, preflight, runup, mission equipment operation, shutdown, postflight and aircraft pampering. One platoon, four aircraft, will usually conduct rotorstables every other week, while the other platoon will concentrate on aviator skills, training or system classes.
