4. Procedure
Subtask 34-11-19-020-050-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
CAUTION: DO NOT HOLD THE AOA SENSOR BY THE VANE WHEN YOU MOVE IT. IF YOU DO, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AOA SENSOR.
A. Removal of the Angle of Attack (AOA) Sensor (3FP1, 3FP2, 3FP3)
NOTE: The procedure is the same for AOA sensors 3FP1, 3FP2 and 3FP3.
   (1) Remove the sealant from the head of the screw (7) with the SCRAPER - NON METALLIC.
   (2) Loosen the seven screws (9).
   (3) Carefully remove the blanking plate (8) not to cause damage to the AOA sensor (6).
   (4) Remove the screw (7).
   (5) Disengage and hold the AOA sensor (6).
   (6) Disconnect the connector (1).
   (7) Remove the AOA sensor (6).
