The top level (bridge platform) shall extend above and across the forward nose section to provide side to side crossover capability. The second level will run slightly lower than the top level, from the forward section of the cabin down both sides, ending just forward of the engine inlet fairways. The third level (two steps lower than the second level) will run from the forward section of the engine to just aft of the engine exhaust along both sides). The platform sections (except the bridge) shall be made to allow for any portion of the platforms to be used independently. The installed platform may not interfere with the rigging of flight controls, removal of the air inlet assemblies or opening of engine cowlings. The platform must b e designed to closely fit the contour of the aircraft to protect workers from fall and dropped tool hazards. (b) The aft (tail pylon) assembly shall also be of modular design and shall be installed around three sides (left, right and aft) of the vertical tail pylon. The height of the platform shall enable full operation of the stabilator and not interfere with the rotation of the tail rotor during all flight control movements and removal and replacement operations. The left platform (co-pilot side) must allow workers to service the intermediate gearbox. Stairs on both sides of the tail pylon must climb from the forward portion of the aircraft up into the tail rotor assembly to allow servicing of the tail rotor gearbox and blades.
