Re: B-737-600/700/800 Quick fixes
We don't really have that many problems with lightning strikes. The strange thing about the dust accumulation is that it happens even on new a/c. The compartment where our HF transceivers are, I guess it must be the same on most NG's is in the aft cargo r/h sidewall. That particular area seems to be prone to a massive amount of dust bunnies and dust. I've never seen anything like it, this is what was causing us problems. We have added a regular task of cleaning out the area on checks as a result of multiple findings of the same scenario.
As for the ressistance check the AMM calls for it so I do always c/o this task.Although the NG windows seem to require no rigging all the hardware and padding ect still needs to be swapped over which makes a 10 minute job into a 3 hr one.
I have quite a few extreme cold weather remedies as well but I think I am the only person it would apply to.There's nothing like changing a brake at -30 C.
