 CAPABILITY UPGRADES WEAPONS AND STORES

Pylon Installation Kit

133-2000

Installation of electromechanical mast pylons at six

hardpoints (three per side) on the bottom of the wing
allows operators to carry external stores with 14-
inch NATO-standard lug configuration. This capability
increases the types of training and flight missions that
can be performed.

2
 CAPABILITY UPGRADES WEAPONS AND STORES

Weapons Kit Installation

133-4034

Installation of the weapons systems-related

components provides operators with the ability to carry
and drop training ordnance. A variety of different configurations
are available using the six under-wing hardpoints, including air-
to-ground stores, air-to-air stores, external fuel tanks and
various sensor pods.

3
 CAPABILITY UPGRADES WEAPONS AND STORES

External Fuel Tank Installation

133-2000

Installation of the external fuel tanks gives operators

the ability to conduct longer missions and/or training
exercises. Each tank has a maximum design fuel
capacity of 67.2 gallons.

4
 CAPABILITY UPGRADES AVIONICS

Night Vision
Conversion Kit
133-3063
Converts all interior lights and cockpit displays to
night vision-compatible devices, increasing the
capabilities of the airplane in different training and
operating environments.

See page 13 for information about night vision

goggles (NVG) training for aircrew.

5
 CAPABILITY UPGRADES AVIONICS

Wingtip Light Conversion Kit

This kit replaces incandescent exterior position lights

with NVG-compatible LED lights, reducing maintenance
requirements and allowing pilots to fly in formation
while wearing night vision devices.

6
 CAPABILITY UPGRADES AVIONICS

A/A TACAN

Provides air-to-air ranging for multiple aircraft,

increasing the number of dynamic maneuvering training
missions that can be flown using the T-6.

 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS CORROSION/STRUCTURAL

ECS Screen Kit This kit reduces galvanic (metal-on-metal) corrosion to

the aircraft skin at the ECS inlet and exhaust screens.
133-4044

Antenna Gasket Kit The Antenna Gasket Kit provides upgraded corrosion
resistance for aircraft operating in highly corrosive
133-3048 environments. Specially designed for coastal bases, this
kit reduces the severity of Level 2 corrosion at each
antenna-skin mating surface.

9
 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS CORROSION/STRUCTURAL

Engine Preservation Kit The Engine Preservation Kit simplifies and improves the sealing
and monitoring requirements of an inactive engine. Installation
133-9007 of the kit takes 80% less time than previous methods and
significantly reduces repair costs due to corrosion.

10
 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS MAINTENANCE

LED Landing and Taxi Light Kit

133-3064

This kit provides the required hardware to replace

halogen lightbulbs with LED bulbs on the landing and taxi
lights. With significantly longer life spans, these bulbs
will reduce maintenance requirements and improve
aircraft availability.

11
 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS MAINTENANCE

eABS Anti-Skid Braking

System
The digital Anti-Skid Braking System optimizes braking
authority while also helping protect against flat spots
or blown tires. Effective in improving stopping distances,
aircraft directional control, and maintenance requirements,
the system weighs only 24 pounds (11 kg) and does not require
modification to the existing landing gear or master cylinders.

12
 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS POWERPLANT

400A Starter A 400A starter generator will improve engine start in

high density-altitude environments and provide
Generator Kit additional electrical power for specialized
components.
133-3042

Auto Ignition The removal and replacement of the current relay (part
number KM-U5AL) is labor-intensive. The new solid state
Relay Kit relay has a significantly increased life span, and the
redesigned mounting bracket allows easier removal and
133-3034
installation by maintenance personnel.

13
 PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS MECHANICAL

Avionics and Baggage The enhanced latch design significantly reduces the
likelihood of latch deformation, door opening and structural
Bay Door Latch Kit damage during high angle-of-attack maneuvers.

133-4045

Hydraulic Door This enhanced latch design improves the

operation and security of the hydraulic service
Latch Kit door upper latch.

133-4010

 TRAINING IMPROVEMENTS AIRCREW

JTAC Training Support Flights

The T-6C+ can be used for joint terminal air control
(JTAC) and other forms of close air support (CAS)
training missions. The T-6C+ is capable of carrying a
multitude of actual, inert and simulated stores. For
additional training and employment capabilities, the
AT-6 WOLVERINE aircraft is also available.

Pilot Enrichment Training

Textron Aviation Defense can provide expert pilots
to support enrichment training for T-6 initial and
advanced instruction, standardization across the fleet,
development of advanced tactics or functional check
flight qualifications.

NVG Training/Flight
Textron Aviation Defense can provide initial or refresher
training to aircrews looking to optimize their NVG
operations. Flights can be conducted at home base or at
the T-6 Center of Excellence in Wichita, Kansas.

 TRAINING IMPROVEMENTS MECH 1

MECHANICS ENRICHMENT COURSE

MECH1 provides a variety of courses for maintainers,
including a combination of academics and on-the-job training.

Mechanics Enrichment
Course Home Base (MECH1)
There’s no doubt that a skilled mechanic helps extend MECH 1 COURSE TOPICS
the service life of an aircraft. This course develops the
Flight Control Rigging and Balancing
technical knowledge of mechanics so they can perform
Engine and Prop Rigging
effective maintenance. Training is conducted by our top
Egress Systems
T-6 experts at the aircraft’s home base. MECH1 training
Hydraulic Systems
is also available for T-1A Jayhawk.
