SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
1. Scope.
This RPSTL lists and authorizes spares and repair parts; special tools; special Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic
Equipment (TMDE); and other special support equipment required for performance of aviation unit and aviation
intermediate maintenance of the AH-64A Advanced Attack Helicopter. It authorizes the requisitioning, issue, and
disposition of spares, repair parts and special tools as indicated by the Source, Maintenance and Recoverability
(SMR) codes.
2. General.
In addition to Section I, Introduction, this Repair Parts and Special Tools List is divided into the following sections:
a. Section II. Repair Parts List. A list of spares and repair parts authorized by this RPSTL for use in the
performance of maintenance. The list also includes parts which must be removed for replacement of the authorized
parts. Parts lists are composed of functional groups in ascending alphanumeric sequence, with the parts in each
group listed in ascending figure and item number sequence. Bulk materials are listed in item name sequence.
b. Section II. Special Tools List. A list of special tools, special TMDE, and other special support equipment
authorized by this RPSTL (as indicated by Basis of Issue (BOI) information in DESCRIPTION AND USABLE ON
CODE (UOC) column) for the purpose of maintenance.
c. Section IV. Cross-reference Indexes. A list, in National Item Identification Number (NIIN) sequence, of
all National Stock Numbers (NSN) appearing in the listing, followed by a list in alphanumeric sequence of all part
numbers appearing in the listings. National stock numbers and part numbers are cross-referenced to each illustra-
tion figure and item number appearance. The figure and item number index lists figure and item numbers in
alphanumeric sequence and cross-references NSN, FSCM/CAGE and part numbers.

a. USABLE ON CODE. The usable on code appears in the lower left corner of the Description column
heading. Usable on codes are shown as ‘‘UOC: . . . . . . .” in the Description Column (justified left) on the first line
applicable item description/nomenclature. Uncoded items are applicable to all models.
b. FABRICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Bulk materials required to manufacture items are listed in the Bulk
Material Functional Group of the RPSTL. Part numbers for bulk materials are also referenced in the description
column of the line item entry for the item to be manufactured/fabricated. Detailed fabrication instructions for items
source coded to be manufactured or fabricated are found in TM 1-1520-238-23.
c. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION. Detailed assembly instructions for items source coded to be assembled from
component spare/repair parts are found in TM 1-1520-238-23. Items that make up the assembly are listed immedi-
ately following the assembly item entry or reference is made to an applicable figure.
d. KITS. Line item entries for repair parts kits appear in a group in Section II (see table of contents).
e. INDEX NUMBERS. Items which have the word BULK in the figure column will have an index number
shown in the item number column. This index number is a cross-reference between the National Stock Number/Part

TM 1-1520-238-23P
f. ASSOCIATED PUBLICATIONS. The publication(s) listed below pertain to the AH-64A Advanced Attack
Helicopter and its components.
(1) First. Using the table of contents, determine the assembly group to which the item belongs. This is
necessary since figures are prepared for assembly groups and subassembly groups, and listings are divided into the
same groups.
(2) Second. Find the figure covering the assembly group or subassembly group to which the item
belongs.
(3) Third. Identify the item on the figure and use the Figure and Item Number Index to find the NSN.
(1) First. Using the National Stock Number or Part Number Index, find the pertinent National Stock
Number or Part Number. The NSN index is in National Item Identification Number (NIIN) sequence (see 4a(1)). The
part numbers in the Part Number index are listed in ascending alphanumeric sequence (see 4b). Both indexes
cross-reference you to the illustration/figure and item number of the item you are looking for.
(2) Second. Turn to figure and item number, verify that the item is the one you are looking for, then locate
the item number in the repair parts list for the figure.
