What desiccants should be checked during a daily inspection?

During a daily inspection of the Super Hornet, it is essential to focus on specific desiccants that are critical for maintaining the integrity of various systems on the aircraft. The HUD (Head-Up Display) desiccant plays a vital role in preserving the optical clarity and functionality of the HUD by preventing moisture buildup, which could impede visibility and system performance.

The waveguide desiccant is also crucial as it protects the radar and communication systems from environmental moisture, which could cause malfunctions or degradation of performance. Ensuring that both the HUD desiccant and the waveguide desiccant are checked during inspections helps to guarantee that these important systems are operating effectively and free from moisture-related issues. This attention to these specific desiccants is consistent with best practices for maintaining the aircraft's functionality and safety.
