Richard P. Boyd, an electrical equipment repairer at Fleet Readiness Center East, works on the motor for an H-53 tail skid actuator. FRCE aircraft maintenance professionals and engineers worked together to develop technical instructions for repairing the motor, which previously would be scrapped and replaced with a new component if it stopped functioning. This new procedure allowed FRCE’s Components Branch to produce, test and certify enough motors to reduce the backlog that built up while waiting on new motors from the vendor.
