The safety interlock mechanism has a linear electromechanical actuator. When energized, the actuator unlocks the safety interlock mechanism and permits release of the store. You can find more information on the IFOBRL by referring to the applicable aircraft maintenance manual. Cocking and Latching Before you load a weapon on the Aero 65A bomb rack, cock and latch the bomb rack linkage assembly. To cock the bomb rack, you must insert a cocking lever assembly in the hoist bracket mounting hole (fig. 10-4). Pull the assembly back until the release unit plunger compresses. To latch the linkage assembly, turn the latch knob as far as it will go in the direction away from the arrow. (This ensures the linkage is aligned for latching.) Then, turn the latch knob in the direction of the arrow (fig. 10-5). Press the release bell crank forward until the sear roller rises above the sear. Then, return the release bell crank to its normal position. If the sear roller does not rest on the sear or is not visible above the sear, rotate the latch knob in the direction away from the arrow to force the sear roller down. The suspension hooks close independently of each other. During loading of a weapon/store, the lugs pivot the hooks on the hook pins to the closed position. You must inspect the hook latch inspection holes to verify that the hook latch pins are securely held in the hook latches. The hook latches and the ends of the hook latch Figure 10-5.—Latching procedure. 10-3
