What is an essential part of ensuring vehicle safety?

Conducting PMCS procedures diligently is crucial for ensuring vehicle safety. PMCS stands for Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services, which includes a systematic approach to inspecting the vehicle, identifying potential issues, and performing necessary maintenance before operation. By adhering to these procedures, operators can detect and rectify mechanical problems, ensuring that the vehicle is safe to operate. This proactive approach not only promotes the safety of the operator and passengers but also helps in extending the life of the vehicle and reducing the likelihood of breakdowns during operation. Regular PMCS ultimately contributes to overall mission readiness and effectiveness.
