CHAPTER 3
Maintenance Concepts; Maintenance Activity Standard Organization;
Aviation Maintenance Officer Qualifications; Command, Department, Division, Branch
and Work Center Management Responsibilities
3.1 Maintenance Concepts

3.1.1 Maintenance Levels. The NAMP classifies maintenance in three levels based on
technical complexity, depth, scope, and range of work performed. The three levels are
Organizational (O-level), Intermediate (I-level), and Depot (D-level).
3.1.1.1 O-Level Maintenance. O-level maintenance is basic maintenance performed by an
activity on its assigned aircraft and equipment. O-level maintenance is organized to achieve
quick turnaround of aircraft and equipment in order to optimize operational availability. O-level
maintenance is the upkeep of aircraft and related equipment by the operating unit. O-level
maintenance includes inspection, servicing, lubrication, adjustment, incorporation of O-level
technical directives, and replacement of parts, minor assemblies and subassemblies.
3.1.1.2 I-Level Maintenance. I-level maintenance is performed by designated Intermediate
Maintenance Activities (IMA) responsible for supporting units operating aircraft and
aeronautical equipment. The primary focus of I-level maintenance is to produce ready-for-issue
(RFI) parts and ready-for-use (RFU) support equipment in sufficient quantities to support aircraft
operations. I-level maintenance primarily consists of:
a. Inspection, testing and repair of aeronautical components and support equipment (SE)
b. I-level calibration
c. Technical assistance to supported units
d. Incorporation of I-level Technical Directives (TD)
e. Manufacture of selected aeronautical components, liquids, and gases
f. Performance of I-level maintenance on aircraft, such as Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI)
of airframe and dynamic components (when required)
3.1.1.3 D-Level Maintenance and Rework. D-level maintenance and rework is performed by
designated depot activities on aircraft, equipment and material requiring overhaul, upgrading, or
rebuilding of parts, assemblies, subassemblies, and end items, including manufacture,
modification, testing, and reclamation of parts. Rework requires extensive diagnostic equipment
and industrial-level manufacturing capabilities beyond the capability and resources of O-level
and I-level maintenance activities. Rework typically occurs in depot facilities managed by
Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (COMNAVAIRSYSCOM) or at original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) sites. Selected depot rework and maintenance functions are performed at
aircraft operational sites in order to minimize cost and turnaround time. D-level maintenance
and rework includes:
3-1
1 Feb 2021
a. Aircraft standard and special rework
b. Rework and repair of engines, components, and SE
c. Calibration by Navy calibration laboratories and Navy Primary Standards Labs (NPSL)
d. Incorporation of D-level technical directives (TD)
e. Modification of aircraft, engines, and support equipment (SE)
f. Manufacture and modification of parts and kits
g. Depot Field Team assistance
h. Technical and engineering assistance
i. Age exploration (AE) of aircraft and equipment under Reliability Centered Maintenance
(RCM)
3.1.2 Maintenance Functions. Maintenance functions describe specific types of maintenance
performed at each maintenance level.
3.1.2.1 General Policy
a. Aeronautical material will be repaired at the level of maintenance that most efficiently
uses manpower, material and equipment resources in achieving naval aviation material readiness
and operational objectives. SM&R codes specify if a component is intended to be repaired at the
O-level, I-level, or D-level of maintenance. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM is responsible for
determining maintenance functions during the development, expansion, execution, and support
of maintenance plans for aircraft and component repair. Maintenance activities will advise the
responsible COMNAVAIRSYSCOM program office of administrative or logistic obstacles that
impede component repair at the most effective and efficient level.
b. Regardless of the maintenance level assigned to a function, activities must refer to
technical manuals and references to determine the extent to which a repair can be undertaken on
a particular system, component, or equipment. Chapter 10, paragraph 10.33.2, provides
procedures for submitting Fleet Engineering Disposition (FED) requests for one-time
authorization to perform repairs damaged beyond allowable repair limits.
c. Although equipment and material allowance lists may reflect an assigned maintenance
level, all activities of the assigned maintenance level may not be outfitted with tools and SE to
perform a particular maintenance function. For example, some tools and equipment required for
O-level maintenance functions may be furnished on a sub-custody basis by the supporting IMA,
ship, or station. The activity’s Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) is the authoritative
allowance list for the issue of specific equipment.
d. All maintenance activities are authorized to repair consumable materials if a replacement
item is not available in stock locally, and the item is required to offset a NMCS, PMCS, or work
stoppage, and the repair is within their capability.
e. I-level activities are authorized to manufacture aeronautical material, if they have the
capability, regardless of the manufacturing level assigned.
3-2
1 Feb 2021
f. All maintenance activities are authorized to repair manufactured M series material if it is
economical and within their capability. M series material may be forwarded to the next higher
maintenance level for repair on a customer service basis.
g. Miniature/Microminiature (2M) avionics repairs will be done only by activities designated
2M repair capable by their ACC or TYCOM. Refer to the 2M NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.22 for
additional guidance.
3.1.2.2 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
a. UAS range in size from small tactical individually operated air vehicles to large multi-
mission air vehicles which include ground control stations and launch and recovery equipment.
To better identify and manage UAS policy, the Joint Unmanned Aircraft Systems (JUAS) Concept
of Operations (CONOPS) separated UAS into the following performance groups based on weight,
normal operation altitude, and airspeed:
Maximum Gross Take-off

Weight (pounds) Normal Operating Altitude (feet) Airspeed (knots)
Group 1 0-20 < 1200 < 100 Kts
Group 2 21-55 < 3500 < 250 Kts
Group 3 < 1320 < 18000 < 250 Kts
Group 4 > 1320 < 18000 Any speed
Group5 > 1320 > 18000 Any speed
b. NAMP compliance requirements:
Group 1 No NAMP compliance

Group 2 No NAMP compliance
Group 3 Fully NAMP compliant for applicable maintenance processes and systems
3.1.2.3 Aircraft Systems and Components. Figure 3-1 lists maintenance functions for aircraft
systems and components.
3.1.2.4 Power Plant Systems and Propeller /Rotary Wing Dynamic Drive Systems. Figure 3-
2 lists maintenance functions for Power Plant Systems and Propeller /Rotary Wing Dynamic
Drive Systems and Components.
3.1.2.5 Aviation Life Support Systems (ALSS), and Cartridges, Cartridge Actuating
Devices (CAD), and Propellant Actuating Devices (PAD). Figure 3-3 lists maintenance
functions for ALSS, CAD, and PAD.
3.1.2.6 Support Equipment (SE). Figure 3-4 lists maintenance functions for Support
Equipment. For the purpose of classifying maintenance functions, SE is defined as all equipment
required on the ground to make an aeronautical system, support system, subsystem, or end item
3-3
1 Feb 2021
of equipment (SE for SE), operational in its intended environment. Equipment such as drill
presses, grinders, lathes, sewing machines, and welders normally used in aeronautical work
centers in support of aircraft, component, or SE maintenance are included in this classification.
SE is primarily the equipment covered by the Aircraft Maintenance Material Readiness List
(AMMRL) Program. General policy:
a. Maintenance of non-AMMRL Program equipment that is required to support flight
operations or aircraft maintenance will be performed by the supporting I-level activity, as
directed by the ACC. Examples of non-AMMRL equipment are crash and firefighting
equipment, runway sweepers, and forklift trucks.
b. SE installed within a work center, such as hydraulic test stands (A/F 27T-10), electrical
test units (VARIDRIVES), and oxygen and nitrogen generating plants (LOX-30/PLN-430) is
normally maintained by the work center having physical custody.
c. Activities are responsible for O-level maintenance functions on SE assigned on sub-
custody from the supporting IMA, station or ship. When an activity is deploying to an operating
location without an IMA to provide SE support, the pre-deployment planning must include
determination of how scheduled SE maintenance will be accomplished. If in theater I-level
support (ashore or afloat) cannot be provided due to logistical constraints, the deploying unit will
request its supporting IMA provide I-level SE maintenance training for those items of SE that
will have to be maintained during the deployment. This authority excludes maintenance of
aircraft lifting devices that require a functional load test, proof loading that uses a portable or
stationary jack tester, when NDI requirements exist, and in any situation where the special tools
or SE, consumable maintenance materials, or replacement parts are unavailable. Maintenance
documentation will be accomplished per the O-level WO procedures of Chapter 15.
NOTE: Maintenance functions for armament weapons support equipment (AWSE) are
listed in OPNAV M-8000.16.
3.1.2.7 Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) Systems. Figure 3-5 lists maintenance
functions for AMCM systems.
3.1.2.8 Airborne Weapon Systems. Maintenance policy for Airborne Weapon Systems
(Air/Surface/Sub-Surface Missiles, Ordnance, Ammunition, Aerial Targets/Drones, Mines/Mine
Neutralization Systems, Torpedoes, Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV), Remotely Piloted Vehicles
(RPV), Aircraft Armament Systems (AAS), Ship Guns, and Armament Weapons Support
Equipment (AWSE)) are listed in OPNAV M-8000.16. Additionally, amplifying AAS
maintenance policy is listed in CNAFINST 8380.2.
3.1.2.9 Jet Engine Test Facilities. The structure and basic systems, such as fuel, water, air, and
CO2 fire extinguishing systems, of installed jet engine test facilities (Class C test cells) will be
maintained by the station Public Works Department (ashore) and Engineering Department
(afloat). The control console, engine connector panel, and thrust bed of installed jet engine test
facilities will be maintained by the work center having physical custody.
3.1.3 Assignment of Maintenance Responsibilities. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO)
and Commandant Marine Corps (CMC) assign maintenance responsibilities to naval operating
3-4
1 Feb 2021
and training forces, Fleet Marine Forces (FMF), and non-fleet Marine forces.
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM assigns maintenance responsibilities to NAVAIRSYSCOM activities.
Navy and Marine Corps air reserve activities and air stations perform the same standard
maintenance functions and are assigned the same responsibilities as active forces. General
policy:
a. Designated activities will perform limited D-level maintenance functions for an entire
logistic area based on ACC recommendations approved by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
b. O-level activities may be assigned responsibility for specific I-level maintenance
functions unique to the assigned mission of the activity or in partial support of their own
operations, if recommended by their ACC and authorized by the cognizant
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM program office. O-level activities assigned I-level responsibilities will
perform only the specific functions authorized and only on their assigned aircraft and equipment.
c. IMAs are authorized to perform any maintenance for which they have capability and
authorization. IMAs may be assigned specific D-level maintenance functions, if recommended
by the ACC and authorized by the cognizant COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Fleet Support Team
(FST). Chapter 10, paragraph 10.33.2 provides procedures for submitting Fleet Engineering
Disposition (FED) requests for one-time authorization to repair an individual component
damaged beyond allowable I-level repair limits. I-level activities are authorized to manufacture
aeronautical material, if they have the capability, regardless of the manufacturing level assigned.
d. All UAS activities are designated as O-level with limited I-level capability because of the
unique characteristics inherent in UAS design and operation. The maintenance functions of
Figure 3-1 are applicable to UAS.
e. Miniature/Microminiature (2M) avionics repairs will be done only by activities designated
2M repair capable by their ACC. Refer to the 2M NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.22 for additional
guidance.
3.1.3.1 Shore Air Field Activities
a. Shore air stations with reporting custody of aircraft must, unless specific deviations are
authorized by the ACC, establish an Operations Maintenance Division (OMD) within the
Operations Department to perform O-level maintenance.
b. Air stations, airfields, and air bases are responsible for providing maintenance facilities
and limited plant property for tenant activities and flight line services for transient aircraft.
Maintenance on transient aircraft may be performed within the station's capability.
c. Figure 3-6 lists the types of maintenance activities located at Navy shore air stations,
fields and bases.
d. Figure 3-7 lists the types of maintenance activities located at Marine Corps Air Stations
(MCAS) and air facilities. MCAS and air facilities are responsible for performing the levels of
maintenance designated by the Marine Corps Tables of Organization and for providing flight line
services for transient aircraft. MCAS and air facilities will provide maintenance facilities and
limited non-deployable SE or plant property support for tenant activities.

3.2 Maintenance Activity Standard Organization. Standard organization defines specific
areas of responsibility and management authority for the numerous processes involved in
producing aircraft, engines and equipment. Codes for O-level and I-level Divisions and Work
Centers are listed in the Table of Work Center Codes, Appendix E.
3.2.1 Terms
a. “Department” applies to all maintenance activities having a department head. In activities
where maintenance is assigned as a division to another department, the term “division” will be
used in place of department.
b. “Division” is a subsection of a department devoted to performing a specific category of
maintenance, and in which distinct sub-functions of the division are divided into branches. For
example, an O-level Aircraft Division (Work Center Code 100) is often comprised of separate
branches for Power Plants (110), Airframes (120), and Aviation Life Support Systems (130).
c. “Branch” applies to a subsection of a division in which a functional area is divided into
separate shops. For example, the Airframes Branch (Work Center Code 120) may be comprised
of Structures Shop (12A), Hydraulics Shop (12B), and Corrosion Control Shop (12C).
d. “Work Centers” (often called “shops”) are designated functional areas to which personnel
are permanently assigned, for example the Structures Shop (12A), Power Plants Module Repair
Shop (414) and Aviation Tool Issue/Tool Control Center (05D). The number and designation of
work centers will be based upon assessment of required maintenance or support functions,
numbers of personnel, span of control, workload schedules, and work locations.

and certifying the applicable T/M/S aircraft SFF, prior to being designated to certify aircraft SFF
(paragraph 5.1.6.1).
5-1
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Maintenance Control trainees will be considered Under Instruction (UI). All actions
undertaken by trainees must be monitored and are the responsibility of designated
Maintenance Control management personnel (paragraph 5.1.2.1).
5.1.2.2 Support Personnel. Maintenance Control support personnel are those personnel assigned
to Maintenance Control that are responsible for routine Maintenance Control administrative
functions, for example, initializing special inspections, maintenance of NALCOMIS data and Auto
Log Sets (ALS) , and logs and records. For Marine Corps activities, Maintenance Control support
personnel include Work Center 030 Maintenance Admin personnel assigned to Maintenance Control
Work Center 020. Support personnel may initiate When Discovered “O” work orders, if directed to
do so by Maintenance Control managers. Inspected By blocks on scheduled maintenance actions
that require a control document (020 work center control work order) are considered administrative
actions and may be signed by any personnel assigned Maintenance Control responsibilities. Typical
Maintenance Control support personnel assignments include:
Maintenance Clerk
Logs and Records
Database Administrator/System Administrator
Phase Supervisor
Technical Directive Coordinator
Support Equipment Periodic Maintenance System (PMS) Coordinator
5.1.3 Workload Management. Maintenance Control is responsible for planning, directing,
coordinating and monitoring the maintenance-related workload of all divisions, branches and work
centers. This section prescribes basic Maintenance Control procedures and responsibilities for
workload management.
5.1.3.1 Planning. Maintenance is planned in two time frames: Near-term (current
day/week/month) and long-term (future months/year).
a. Near term planning focuses on accomplishing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for
the current day, week, and month to produce the required number of aircraft, equipment, and
systems to support the published flight schedule. The following maintenance needs to be considered
when setting priorities for near-term maintenance:
(1) Flight preparation inspections and servicing for aircraft assigned to the flight schedule
(2) Unscheduled maintenance, conditional inspections, and technical directive requirements
that must be completed for aircraft, equipment, and systems needed for the flight schedule
(3) Scheduled inspections and forced removal requirements required to be completed for the
day or coming due within the work week due to high limitation timeframe
(4) Accomplishing the Monthly Maintenance Plan
b. Astute long-term maintenance planning is the most critical factor in enabling the
Maintenance Department to be able to generate manpower and materials capacity to accomplish
both scheduled workload and unscheduled maintenance workload. Long-term planning is
5-2
1 Feb 2021
reviewing major maintenance events coming due in the next 3 months or longer, and adjusting
resource availability (capacity) as needed to most efficiently and effectively produce the required
number of aircraft, equipment, and systems to support future operations. Long-term planning is
facilitated by the Monthly Maintenance Plan, paragraph 5.1.4.
5.1.3.2 Direction and Coordination. At the beginning of each work shift, Maintenance Control
will meet with Division, Branch, and Work Center personnel to:
a. Review the flight schedule and assign aircraft to events
b. Receive updates on ongoing maintenance
c. Assign workload priorities
d. Provide direction on coordinating maintenance that requires sequencing the work of different
Divisions, Branches and Work Centers
e. Phase Inspections per paragraph 5.1.9
5.1.3.3 Monitoring. Maintenance Control will monitor the status of maintenance via NALCOMIS
Visual Electronic Display (VED) (Chapter 13). Maintenance Control will scan VEDs throughout
the work day for changes in WO status, and enter brief remarks pertaining to specific maintenance
actions affecting aircraft and related systems that may affect mission capability. NALCOMIS
reports will also be used to monitor workload status, including: Outstanding TD report, Equipment
Discrepancy Report, Aircraft Work Load Report, Work Center Work Load Report, and Inspection
Near Due Report.
NOTE: Maintenance Control must be informed of aircraft armed/dearmed status at all times.
Activities operating aircraft with ordnance must maintain a visual reference of
armed/dearmed status within Maintenance Control. Examples include flagging
Aircraft Discrepancy Books (ADB), maintaining a whiteboard indicating
armed/dearmed status of each BUNO, and an electronic file viewed on a computer or
television screen. The visual reference must be able to be viewed by all personnel and
will, at a minimum, indicate ARMED or DEARMED for each aircraft. All
maintenance personnel must receive training on the use of the armed/dearmed visual
reference, including procedures for keeping Maintenance Control informed of
armed/dearmed status at all times.
5.1.4 O-level Monthly Maintenance Plan (MMP)
5.1.4.1 Purpose. The MMP provides a consolidated source of the many items of information that
must be considered when planning long-term maintenance workload. The objective of the MMP is
to plan the accomplishment of major scheduled maintenance events, such as aircraft transfers and
receipts, depot rework, phase inspections, high time engine and component replacements, in order to
most effectively produce the required number of aircraft, equipment, and systems to support
upcoming flight operations, detachments and deployments.
5-3
1 Feb 2021
5.1.4.2 Contents. The MMP will contain a month-by-month plan to accomplish major scheduled
maintenance planned for the next three calendar months, as a minimum. The schedule will contain
notations for holidays, operations (unclassified, only), and any other events deemed important to
scheduling maintenance, such as preparing aircraft for Material Condition Inspection (MCI) and
scheduled training that requires significant amounts of work stoppage time. Figure 5-1 is an
example of one month in the MMP for a 10-aircraft squadron. Minimum required content:
5.1.4.3 Scheduled Maintenance Requirements. Three months of scheduled maintenance
requirements will be included as an enclosure to the MMP. The following information will be listed
in chronological sequence (for calendar based actions) or hours/cycles remaining sequence (lowest
to highest) for each aircraft Bureau Number (BUNO) by Side Number (MODEX), and for each
model equipment or mission system by serial number (SERNO):
a. Due date for each type of calendar-based inspection or scheduled maintenance action that
normally takes more than two work days to complete
b. Total operating time due and time remaining for inspections or scheduled maintenance based
on operating hours of more than 30 hours, and the estimated calendar date the aircraft, equipment or
system will reach NLT total operating hours (based on projected usage)
c. Cycles remaining for inspections or scheduled maintenance based on cycles (catapults,
arrestments, etc.), and the estimated calendar date the aircraft, equipment or system will reach the
NLT cycles (based on projected usage)
d. Time or cycles due and time or cycles remaining for forced removal components and the
estimated calendar date the aircraft/equipment/system will reach the forced removal hours or cycles
(based on projected usage)
e. Technical Directive (TD) requirements, compliance NLT deadline, and estimated compliance
timeframe (based on projected usage)
f. Estimated induction date for on-site depot rework or modification, and projected date of
return
g. Estimated date of receipt or transfer of aircraft, equipment and mission systems
h. MEASURE Format 800 or other data source of information on equipment calibration due
dates
NOTE: Hard copy or electronic copies of NALCOMIS reports or other maintenance data
sources may be used in the MMP. The MMP may also cross-reference the location of
the information, for example, “Calibration information located in the MEASURE
Format 800 Report.” If the MMP cross-references information, Maintenance
Control must maintain a copy (either hard copy or electronic) of the referenced data.
5.1.4.4 Planning Factors. The following planning information will be included as an enclosure to
the MMP:
a. Projected number of aircraft, equipment and mission systems onboard, by week
5-4
1 Feb 2021
b. Projection of required number of aircraft, equipment and mission systems, by week

c. Projected number of operational aircraft, equipment and mission systems, by week
d. Projected readiness surplus or deficit, by week
e. Estimated time to complete, in work days:
(1) Each type of scheduled inspection that normally takes more than one work day to
complete. For ready reference, information should also include any logistics factors that must be
planned in advance, such as coordinating I-level or D-level support, arranging for specialized
support equipment, and obtaining authorization for aircraft immobilization.
(2) Preparation of an aircraft for transfer
(3) Preparation of an aircraft after initial receipt
(4) Preparation of an aircraft for induction for depot rework
(5) Preparation of an aircraft after return from each type of depot rework
f. Schedule of detachments or other major training events (unclassified information, only), and
any other events that will impact the maintenance schedule, such as Material Condition Inspections
(MCI). Notations will be made for any special preparations, such as requirements to install and
operationally check seldom-used systems that will be required for a training detachment.
5.1.4.5 MMP Preparation. The MMCO and the MMCPO (Navy) or Maintenance Material
Control Chief (Marine Corps) are responsible for coordinating preparation of the MMP. The MMP
must be distributed no later than the 25th day of the month prior to the first month covered in the
MMP. Prior to distribution, the MMCO will brief the Maintenance Officer for signature. The
Assistant Maintenance Officer (AMO) and the MMCPO/Maintenance Material Control Chief will
attend the brief. The MMCO’s brief to the MO will include:
a. Progress in achieving the current month’s maintenance schedule.
b. Maintenance schedule for the upcoming month, with emphasis on:
(1) Major scheduled inspections.
(2) Forced removals.
(3) Aircraft and equipment transfers and receipts.
(4) FCF requirements.
c. Expected number of aircraft or systems available to meet projected flight operations for the
upcoming month, and any coordinating actions with the Wing required to transfer aircraft or
systems earlier or later than planned in order to have sufficient assets on hand.
d. Obstacles to producing the required number of aircraft or systems for upcoming training
detachments or deployment. The AMO will brief the MO on any expected deficiencies in numbers
or qualifications of personnel, as they relate to accomplishing the MMP.
5-5
1 Feb 2021
e. Coordination required with the Operations Department, such as scheduling FCFs, compass
calibration flight, and flights to operationally check systems used for combat operations.
5.1.4.6 MMP Distribution. A paper or electronic copy of the MMP will be given to the supporting
I-Level and Supply Department (Aviation Support Division ashore / S-6 Division afloat).
Maintenance Control will maintain a working copy of the MMP.
5.1.5 Maintenance Control Work Order Documentation. Maintenance Control is responsible
for the accurate and timely documentation of maintenance in NALCOMIS Optimized
Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) for all work performed on aircraft, engines and
assigned equipment, including Aviation Life Support Systems (ALSS), Aircraft Armament Systems
(AAS) and Mission Mounted Equipment (MME). Chapters 15 and 16 provide detailed information
on NALCOMIS functionality and OOMA documentation procedures.
5.1.5.1 Maintenance Control Work Order Documentation Requirements:
a. Ensure WOs are initiated per Chapter 15 procedures for all:
(1) Scheduled maintenance
(2) Scheduled inspections
(3) Conditional inspections
(4) Preservation and depreservation actions
(5) Technical Directive (TD) actions
(6) Administrative actions (When Discovered Code O), for example: Inspections, Forced
Removals, Facilitate Other Maintenance (FOM), Work Requests, and Configuration Changes
NOTE: All inspections, technical directives, forced removals and corrosion treatment WOs
must contain the applicable No Later Than date or time annotated in the system
reason block.
b. Review WOs initiated by Work Centers for correct coding and modify as required prior to
approval. Maintenance Control has the option to modify all fields of the WO except BUNO,
Assembly Cd, and TM.
c. Review WOs initiated by pilots or aircrew after completion of flight for adequacy of
discrepancy description and correct When Discovered (WD) Code (Appendix E).
d. When parts or materials are required, assign the appropriate project code and priority
designator on the WO, per DOD 4140.1-R and NAVSUP Publication 485 project code policy. The
WO is electronically forwarded to Material Control for DDSN assignment and processing.
e. As a minimum, verify correct job status code changes have been made at time of shift
change.
f. When corrective action has been completed:
5-6
1 Feb 2021
(1) If the system does not support required corrections, Maintenance Control will determine
whether a new WO must be created and referenced to accurately document actions taken, such as
the removal and replacement of a tracked component with a specific work unit code (WUC).
NOTE: A repairable component is ordered and received under an incorrect WUC. The new
component will not be able to be installed in the correct location with in configuration
management, a new work order would have to be created to complete the removal
and installation actions.
(2) Verify required QA in-process and final inspections have been documented, per Chapter
7 requirements.
(3) Verify all Work Order data fields for accuracy and coordinate with the Data Base
Administrator to correct modifiable fields in the ALS Que prior to submitting up line through the
approval process.
NOTE: 1. Within the ALS Que modifiable fields are indicated by the field being a different
color (often white) than the majority of data fields. Modifications to these fields is
limited in some cases by the type of corrective action and type of work order.
5.1.5.2 Work Requests. Maintenance Control will issue all work requests. General procedures:
a. An E Block (Removed Item) entry is required for all WOs for items to be turned in to the I-
level on a Work Request. E Block data must be verified against the Auto Log Set for accuracy of
Cage, Part Number, and WUC. Work requests are the receipt for accepting the equipment, and must
be kept on file until return of the specific item or replacement item, or until action is completed.
b. Work requests for work done on the aircraft or on-site without turn-in do not require an E
Block entry.
NOTE: Assembled A-series components are normally not stocked. Maintenance Control will
coordinate with the IMA for repair of A-series components.
5.1.5.3 Aircraft Discrepancy Book (ADB).
a. Maintenance Control will maintain an Optimized OMA NALCOMIS (OOMA) Automated
Aircraft Discrepancy Book (AADB) for each aircraft assigned.
NOTE: Hardcopy ADBs will only be used to maintain those items required to determine Safe
For Flight or for which the AADB has no functionality and the item is considered
essential information. For example, Oil consumption, power checks, Weight and
Balance forms, and T/M/S peculiar requirements.
b. The ADB/AADB must accurately reflect the current status of all pending maintenance
requirements, and must be validated against the Work Load Report for completed and outstanding
WOs at least daily.
c. The ADB/AADB must include the following content, at a minimum:
5-7
1 Feb 2021
(1) Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141) for at least the last ten
flights
(2) WOs for all active maintenance requirements that have not been completed, regardless of age.
(3) WOs for maintenance and inspections completed within the last ten flights
(4) The control document for each type of Special or Phase Inspection will be retained in the
AADB until completion of the next like inspection, regardless of age
(5) Aircraft with an onboard Health Monitoring System (HMS), such as the F/A-18 and EA-18
Automated Maintenance Environment (FAME), will contain HMS data generated from the last ten
flights
(6) The most current completed Daily and/or Turnaround Inspection
NOTES: 1. Hard copy (printed) forms for the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Records
(OPNAV 4790/141) will be maintained if information considered necessary to record
additional safety of flight data is entered in the Limitations block. The OOMA
AADB does not copy the Limitations block to the Summary Back-up, therefore any
information entered into the Limitations block is lost upon issue of a new OPNAV
4790/141 record.
2. The Special Inspection tab under Configuration Management Logset Explorer
for both aircraft and engines may be printed in lieu of maintaining the control
documents for Special and Phase Inspections.
3. Hard copy Daily and Turnaround forms may be printed from the OOMA AADB
and maintained in the hardcopy ADB until next like inspection in order to facilitate
updating portion of inspection as deemed necessary by Maintenance Control for
maintenance actions completed after the Daily and/or Turnaround are completed.
d. The AADB Summary page will be backed-up in PDF format on an external media source, for
example, CD, DVD, or external hard drive/share drive, prior to each flight after the aircrew signs
the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record and at the end of each shift. Backup storage
locations will be determined by local procedures and will be readily available for use during system
or network down time. All Maintenance Control personnel will be familiar with the process of
performing an AADB Backup.
NOTE: Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) Maintenance Control is responsible for
maintaining an Equipment Discrepancy Book (EDB) for each AMCM system.
5.1.5.4 Naval Flight Information Record (NAVFLIR) (OPNAV 3710/4). NAVFLIR entry into
NALCOMIS is crucial to flight time accuracy and the Safe for Flight (SFF) certification process.
Maintenance Control will ensure the pilot or aircraft commander enters NAVFLIR into OOMA
immediately after each flight. The pilot or aircraft commander is responsible for complete and
accurate NAVFLIR data.
5-8
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: If successive flights occur during operations away from home base, for example,
during a cross-country flight, and the pilot documents each flight on individual
NAVFLIRs vice documenting them as multiple legs on one NAVFLIR, Maintenance
Control will ensure a separate “A” sheet for each NAVFLIR is entered into OOMA
with any maintenance actions that occurred. This will allow for the proper alignment
of the last ten “A” Sheets, flight records and work order documentation within the
OOMA AADB. In such cases the pilot’s name and grade should be entered into the
Released by and Accepted blocks with a brief explanation in the Special Equipment
Box, for example, “Cross Country Flight.”
5.1.6 Releasing and Accepting Aircraft for Flight. Two of the most critical responsibilities of
Maintenance Control are certifying and releasing an aircraft Safe for Flight (SFF) and the
acceptance of the aircraft by the aircrew. Attention to detail in these processes is essential to
ensuring the integrity of the aircraft for flight and the safety of the aircrew.
5.1.6.1 Designation to Certify Aircraft Safe For Flight (SFF). The Commanding Officer (CO)
will designate in writing all personnel authorized to certify aircraft SFF. Prior to being designated
to certify aircraft SFF, personnel must complete all Maintenance Control manager training specified
in paragraph 5.1.2.1.a. and 5.1.2.1.b.
NOTES: 1. Commanding Officer certification in Aviation Skills Management (ASM) meets
the requirement for written designation of personnel authorized to certify aircraft
SFF.
2. Contractor personnel authorized to certify aircraft SFF will be designated in
writing by the Contractor Site Manager.
5.1.6.2 Safe For Flight Certification. Prior to releasing an aircraft for flight, the individual
certifying SFF must comply with the following minimum requirements:
a. Review the AADB and verify all outstanding discrepancies for accuracy, including the
correct EOC applied per the applicable Mission-Essential Subsystem Matrix (MESM), correct
maintenance status, and all tools accounted for.
b. Verify all downing discrepancies and flight safety Quality Assurance (QA) inspections are
signed off.
c. As applicable to the flight, verify Preflight, Daily, Turnaround, and Postflight inspections
were completed, and are current (paragraph 5.3.5 and Figure 5-2) and correctly documented on the
Preflight/Daily/Turnaround/Postflight Maintenance Record (OPNAV 4790/38) (Figure 5-3).
d. Verify fuel samples were taken and inspected per T/M/S maintenance technical manuals.
Specific intervals for fuel samples are listed in the applicable aircraft maintenance requirement cards
(MRC). Unless otherwise specified in aircraft MRCs, fuel samples must be taken within 24 hours
preceding the aircraft’s initial launch and are valid for no more than 24 hours.
e. Review Engine/Gearbox Oil Consumption Records and verify each engine or gearbox
consumption is within the limit specified in the maintenance technical manuals (as required).
5-9
1 Feb 2021
f. If the aircraft has an onboard Health Monitoring System (HMS), such as the F/A-18 and EA-
18 Automated Maintenance Environment (FAME), review the BUNO HMS data and verify all
required actions were taken and documented per applicable T/M/S policy and maintenance technical
manuals.
g. Verify aircraft Weight & Balance (W&B) forms have been updated.
h. Verify pending Forced Removals, Scheduled Inspections and issued Corrosion Treatment
work orders are within compliance requirements.
i. Verify status of all personal ALSS for the scheduled aircrew for the event using ALSS VEDs
and the Outstanding Transaction Report (OTR).
j. Verify Flight Hour accuracy by review of previous ten Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance
Records (OPNAV 4790/141) and the OOMA Flight Summary report.
k. Verify there are no overdue TDs by reviewing the OOMA Outstanding Technical Directives
Report against the compliance times listed in the MMP.
l. Verify AADB summary pages are backed up in PDF format prior to flight.
m. Verify the aircraft has no Partial Mission Capable (PMC) limitations related to the assigned
flight, as specified in the Mission Essential Subsystem Matrix (MESM). Maintenance Control will
brief the aircrew on all aircraft limitations, regardless of mission assigned.
NOTE: UAS Control Stations are not required to be released Safe for Flight separately from
the unmanned aircraft (UA). UAS Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures
Standardization (NATOPS) preflight and system check procedures must be
performed before the Control Station is utilized. Safe for Flight personnel will verify
the Control Station is fully operational prior to signing off Safe for Flight.
5.1.6.3 Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141) (Figure 5-4). An
Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141) is required for each flight. The
Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record will remain at the place of first takeoff. If the aircraft is
in transit and being certified by an activity other than the parent squadron (transient line, Depot FRC
flight test, etc.), the OPNAV 4790/141 record will be retained by the activity that released the
aircraft and a copy will be forwarded to the parent squadron for entry into OOMA. Prior to
releasing the aircraft to the aircrew, the person certifying the aircraft SFF will verify the Aircraft
Inspection and Acceptance Record has been filled out as follows:
Block 1 - BUNO. Enter the aircraft BUNO.
Block 2 - T/M/S. Enter the aircraft T/M/S.
Block 3 - RPT. CUST. Enter the aircraft reporting custodian.
Block 4 - OXY. Enter total gaseous or liquid oxygen on board. Not applicable to aircraft with
an on board oxygen generation system.
Block 5 - FUEL. Enter grade and quantity of fuel.
5-10
1 Feb 2021
Block 6 - OIL. Enter grade and quantity of oil added to each engine.
NOTE: Due to system limitations, the OOMA AADB Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance
Record (OPNAV 4790/141) does not calculate oil consumption for equipment that
does not require servicing after each flight. T/M/S that cannot use the oil
consumption functionality should disable it in OOMA under the Configuration
Management inventory properties for the engines. Additionally, servicing will be
annotated under the Special Equipment or Limitations block within the AADB
OPNAV 4790/141.
Block 7 - DATE. Enter date of pilot-in-command acceptance.
Block 8 - ORDNANCE/SPECIAL EQUIPMENT/UAS CONTROL STATIONS/UAS
LAUNCH AND RECOVERY EQUIPMENT/LIMITATIONS/REMARKS. This section
informs the pilot of ordnance and special equipment loaded on the aircraft, and uncorrected
discrepancies or unique characteristics of the aircraft. For UAS, this section will also list the
Nomenclature and S/N for the UA, UAS Control Stations, launch equipment, and recovery
equipment. To certify ordnance and associated AAS are SFF, enter the aircraft’s weapons
stations, all loaded ordnance and quantities, to include countermeasures/weapons/stores.
Maintenance Control will initiate work orders to install all ordnance and associated AAS
applicable to the mission. A Quality Assurance/Safety Observer (QA/SO) must inspect and
certify the aircraft configuration using the corrective action block of work orders initiated by
Maintenance Control. The person certifying the aircraft Safe for Flight will enter the aircraft
configuration for ordnance previously certified by the QA/SO via work orders. Maintenance
Control must verify the QA/SO certification has been completed prior to certifying the aircraft
Safe for Flight. Subsequent QA/SO certifications are not required after the initial QA/SO
certification as long as no ordnance or AAS configuration changes have occurred. This
includes, but is not limited to, hot seat crew changes and cross country flights..
NOTES: 1. Ordnance capable aircraft with no ordnance or AAS installed do not require a
QA/SO certification. The person certifying the aircraft Safe for Flight will enter
the statement “No ordnance or AAS installed.” Empty countermeasures containers
are considered AAS.
2. T/M/S aircraft with no ordnance capability are exempt from QA/SO
certifications.
3. Units unable to meet QA/SO requirements due to manpower constraints must
submit a waiver request to TYCOM/RC via Chain of Command as per
OPNAVINST 8023.24 for Navy and via MCO 8023.3 for Marine Corps for an
ordnance certified QAR or CDI to conduct QA/SO certifications.
Block 9 - SIGNATURE OF PLANE CAPTAIN. OOMA SMQ or printed name, rate or rank,
and signature of the plane captain who inspected the aircraft.
5-11
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: In the case of multiple Plane Captains performing inspections, the Plane Captain
signing the Plane Captain signature block is responsible for ensuring all steps of the
inspection have been performed and documented.
Block 10 - SIGNATURE. OOMA SMQ or printed name, rate or rank, and signature of the
person certifying the aircraft Safe for Flight. If the aircraft is away from home and T/M/S
specific SFF certification personnel not available, the pilot-in-command must sign Block 10 to
certify the aircraft is SFF. Signature requirement for Hot Seat Crew Change is covered in
paragraph 5.1.6.4.b.
Block 11 - SIGNATURE OF PILOT IN COMMAND. OOMA SMQ or printed name, rank, and
signature of the pilot accepting the aircraft.
5.1.6.4 Release of Aircraft for Hot Seat Crew Change. “Hot Seat" crew change is an operational
evolution where a manned aircraft returns from flight in an “up” status, the engine(s) remain
operating, the pilot in command is changed, and the aircraft is immediately re-launched.
a. Successive Hot Seat crew changes may occur until the expiration of the Daily Inspection or
until the aircraft requires any scheduled or unscheduled maintenance or inspection that requires the
aircraft to be shut-down.
b. Maintenance Control must complete a new Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record
(OPNAV 4790/141) (Figure 5-4) for each Hot Seat evolution. The term "Hot Seat" must be entered
in Block 8, and the new pilot in command must review the ADB and sign Block 11, and the
debarking pilot must sign Block 10. Performance of these actions will signify a physical
continuation for flight of an inspected, serviced, and certified SFF aircraft with a change in pilot in
command.
NOTES: 1. Shutting down the aircraft engine(s) after landing and prior to or after a Hot Seat
crew change negates the Hot Seat evolution and requires a Turnaround Inspection
prior to relaunch.
2. Single engine, fixed-wing aircraft may conduct a Hot Seat crew change with the
engine shutdown, provided the APU remains operating from time of landing to
relaunch. The T/M/S aircraft FST and Wing must provide specific procedures and
restrictions for single engine, fixed-wing aircraft Hot Seat.
3. An Unmanned Aircraft (UA) Hot Seat is an operational evolution where the UA
operator is changed while the UA is still airborne or while on deck with the engine(s)
operating and the UA continues flight or is immediately re-launched. Final
electronic copies of the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV
4790/141) with all signatures will be maintained at the point of UA origin and a
hardcopy Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141) must be
generated as reference for back fitting data into OOMA.
4. Hot weapons download or upload conducted in conjunction with Hot Seat crew
change will strictly comply with NAVAIR 00-80T-103 procedures.
5-12
1 Feb 2021
5.1.6.5 Release of Aircraft After Hot Refueling. Hot refueling is an operational evolution where
an aircraft is refueled after landing while the engine(s) is (are) operating and the aircraft is
immediately re-launched without a change in the pilot in command. Hot refueling does not require
a new Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141). Only those portions of the
turnaround inspection applicable to hot refueling and any other maintenance or servicing done
during the ground period must be complied with, as directed by Maintenance Control. This does not
limit commands from performing other inspections before re-launch, as they deem necessary.
Inspection or servicing intervals must not be exceeded during successive hot refueling evolutions.
All applicable NATOPS checklists must be complied with prior to re-launch.
5.1.7 Functional Check Flights (FCF). FCFs determine whether the airframe, power plant,
accessories, and equipment are functioning per specified standards while subjected to the intended
operating environment. FCFs are conducted when it is not possible to determine proper operation
by ground checks, for example, aerodynamic reaction, air loading, or signal propagation.
5.1.7.1 Mandatory FCF Conditions. The following conditions require an FCF unless specific
requirements have been established in the T/M/S aircraft NATOPS manual, or the User Logistics
Support Summary (ULSS) for commercial derivative aircraft. Operational commanders may
impose additional FCF requirements. Mandatory FCF conditions:
a. Upon completion of acceptance inspection.
NOTE: Squadrons that deploy detachments are not required to perform an acceptance FCF
for aircraft transferred between the parent activity and its detachments.
b. After the installation, reinstallation or rigging of any of the following components:
(1) Engine
(2) Propeller or propeller governor
(3) Major fuel system component
(4) Helicopter engine drive train, transmission, or gearbox
(5) Fixed or movable flight surfaces.
(6) Rotary Wings.
(7) Any flight-critical component subject to stress during flight that cannot be fully
operationally checked by ground operation.
NOTES: 1. FCF is not required when maintenance involves only the removal and
reinstallation of connecting hardware without a change in adjustment or alignment.
In this case, the Work Order (WO) Corrective Action taken block must include a
statement verifying the system was disconnected and reconnected without a change
in adjustment or alignment, and a ground functional check was accomplished.
2. FCF is not required on fixed or movable flight surfaces if removal and
reinstallation of quick-disconnect on aft sections of gas turbine engine aircraft when
5-13
1 Feb 2021
no work that requires an FCF is performed on the flight surfaces of the removed
section. Refer to T/M/S specific technical manuals for FCF requirements.
3. FCF is not required for installation or reinstallation of exhaust gas vectored
thrust nozzles (hot and cold) accomplished by pin alignment that does not affect the
adjustment of the nozzle.
4. FCF is not required on aircraft equipped with onboard automated rotor
vibration and diagnostic capability do not require an FCF after making small
incremental adjustments to minimize rotor induced vibrations, provided no other
maintenance actions that require an FCF were performed.
5. FCF is not required after the installation, reinstallation or rigging of any
component on commercial derivative aircraft if that system can be fully
operationally checked by ground operations as outlined in the ULSS and
MRC/MIM.
c. When an aircraft with a single primary attitude source per pilot station has had the attitude
indicator or display, attitude source, subsystem, or component removed, replaced, or adjusted.
d. When an aircraft with dual or multi-independent attitude reference sources has had the
indicators or displays, attitude reference sources, subsystems, or components removed, replaced, or
adjusted in two or more of the attitude reference systems. Aircraft with four or more independent
attitude reference sources in which two sources are known good, and the integrity of those two
sources has not been jeopardized, do not require an FCF.
e. When any mandatory FCF condition cited in the applicable NATOPS manuals occurs.
f. When an aircraft that has not flown in 30 or more days is returned to flight status.
g. When directed by technical manual, Technical Directive, or MRC.
NOTES: 1. UAS only require an FCF for acceptance inspection, after completion of standard
rework, and when not flown for 30 days or more. Additional FCFs will be
performed as directed by the applicable UAS NATOPS manual.
2. The CO must determine if an FCF is required when an aircraft undergoes
Aircraft Battle Damage Repair (ABDR), paragraph 10.26. If an FCF is required
due to ABDR, the CO will specify the scope of the FCF.
3. FCFs are not required after completion of Phase Inspections unless maintenance
performed during the Phase Inspection meets a mandatory FCF condition.
h. Upon completion of standard depot rework (Phased Depot Maintenance), regardless of where
the standard rework was performed.
(1) FCFs for aircraft that completed standard depot rework within a Depot Fleet Readiness
Center (Depot FRC) facility are normally performed by military pilots and aircrews assigned to the
5-14
1 Feb 2021
Depot FRC. When required, designated FCF qualified military aviators assigned to other
commands may be used.
(2) Aircraft that completed standard depot rework within the depot facility will have flight
profile requirements prescribed in the rework specifications and appropriate T/M/S NATOPS for the
aircraft. The Depot Aviation Safety Officer (ASO) and the Depot Flight Check Officer will
coordinate FCF standards and requirements with the various divisions of the depot Quality
Department ensure the applicable safety of flight, quality, and reliability standards are met prior to
designating an aircraft ready for depot FCF, including aircraft released to the accepting activity at
the depot prior to or after the depot FCF.
(3) FCFs of commercially reworked aircraft may be accomplished by contractor or
government personnel as specified in the rework contract. If a government FCF is required after a
contractor’s FCF, unnecessary duplication of checks successfully conducted and documented by the
contractor will be minimized.
(4) All depot FCF pilots and aircrew members must be designated in writing by the depot
CO, or by the head of the facility if it is commercial rework facility.
NOTES: 1. Aircraft that undergo on-site depot in-service repair or modification do not
require an FCF unless the depot repair or modification process entailed a
mandatory FCF requirement.
2. For commercial derivative aircraft that are commercially reworked, the FCF
may be tailored to only those systems that cannot be fully operationally checked by
ground operations.
5.1.7.2 FCF Checklists. NAVAIR issues FCF checklists based on FCF procedures contained in
the applicable NATOPS manual. Procedures:
a. If an aircraft does not have a NAVAIR FCF checklist, the activity must prepare an FCF
checklist to record the following information, at a minimum:
(1) Required instrument indications
(2) Satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance of all listed items or systems
(3) Detailed comments and recommendations concerning the flight
NOTE: Deleting or modifying requirements of an FCF constitutes a modified FCF and
requires joint concurrence of the Functional Check Pilot, Maintenance Control, and
Quality Assurance. Deleted or modified steps will be annotated and initialed in the
FCF checklist.
b. The checklist for the last completed FCF for each type of FCF profile dictated by T/M/S
NATOPS must be routed through QA and retained in the aircraft’s historical file. For example, if
NATOPS contains profiles A, B, C, and D, the aircraft historical file will contain the last completed
FCF checklist for each of these profiles. In the event that a complete profile B and C are flown in
5-15
1 Feb 2021
one FCF and documented on one FCF checklist, the one completed checklist will replace both the B
and C profiles in the aircraft historical file.
NOTE: A modified FCF profile is not a complete profile. The completed FCF checklist for
each FCF performed with a modified profile will be maintained as a separate FCF
checklist in the aircraft historical file until completion of the full profile. For
example, the FCF checklist for a modified Profile B must be maintained on file until
completion of the next full Profile B.
c. Pencil entries in the FCF checklist by the aircrew are acceptable while performing an FCF.
Upon completion of the FCF, QA will ensure the functional check pilot annotates all entries in pen.
5.1.7.3 FCF Procedures
a. At the discretion of the CO, FCFs may be flown in combination with operational flights
(check and go), provided the operational portion is not conducted until the FCF requirements have
been completed and documented in the FCF checklist.
NOTE: Combining a post-depot rework FCF with an operational flight is prohibited.
b. Pilots and crew members who perform FCFs must be qualified per OPNAVINST 3710.7 and
the applicable aircraft NATOPS manual.
c. Maintenance Control will coordinate an FCF brief by QA and work center personnel to pilots
and crew members, prior to releasing the aircraft for flight. As a minimum, the FCF brief must
cover the maintenance performed, the checklist requirements for the FCF, and the expected results.
d. FCFs will be conducted with the minimum crew necessary to accomplish the check flight
objectives.
e. FCFs will be conducted per the criteria established by the applicable aircraft NATOPS
manual.
f. The pilot and any other crew members required to operationally check systems covered by the
FCF will annotate the FCF checklist, and debrief Maintenance Control, QA and work center
personnel on the results.
g. In the event an FCF cannot be completed, the FCF may be continued using the same pilot or
a different pilot. The original FCF checklist will be used. When a new pilot performs the
continuation FCF, they will determine which elements of the previously completed portions of the
FCF must be performed again. Each pilot will initial next to each completed step that they perform.
Pre and post-FCF briefs are required.
5.1.8 Aircraft Cannibalization Management. Aircraft cannibalization is the removal of
serviceable materials, parts or components from one aircraft for installation into another aircraft.
Cannibalization is an acceptable management choice only when necessary to meet operational
objectives. Commands are responsible for eliminating unnecessary cannibalization that provides no
benefit to mission accomplishment. Conditions:
5-16
1 Feb 2021
a. Under no circumstance will cannibalization be performed to create a pool of RFI parts for
general use to support flight operations or detachments.
b. Egress system cannibalization will be minimized. Cannibalization of egress system
cartridges, Cartridge Actuated Devices (CADs) , and Propellant Actuated Devices (PADs) requires
Wing or MAG approval.
c. Maintenance Control will direct all cannibalizations by initiating a cannibalization WO. The
WO will use the most appropriate cannibalization malfunction code (Appendix E) for the
circumstances justifying the cannibalization decision. If the cannibalization requires Wing or
Aircraft Controlling Custodian (ACC) approval, the approval notification will be cited in the
Discrepancy block, for example, “Cannibalization approved by (Wing or ACC, and Rank and Name
of approver) via email 01Feb2017.”
d. Authority for cannibalization between squadrons within the same Type Wing or MAG will
be requested via email from the requesting unit Maintenance Officer to the Wing or MAG
Maintenance Officer. Cannibalization requests will include: Estimated delivery date (EDD) of the
required component or equipment; supply system stock posture; and the effect the cannibalization
will have on the operational readiness of the recipient unit. The approving Wing or MAG will
direct the cannibalization action via email to the providing and recipient units, and will include the
supporting supply activity, operational chain of command, and the ACC as info addressees.
e. Requests to cannibalize aircraft that have been non-mission capable in excess of 90 days or
aircraft assigned to different Wings or MAGs must be requested via email from the Wing or MAG
Commander to the ACC. The Wing will obtain concurrence of need to cannibalize from the
supporting supply activity prior to submitting the request. Approval authorities:
(1) COMNAVAIRFOR (N421/N423) is the approval authority for COMNAVAIRFOR
aircraft or equipment. Email requests to: cnaf_flt_canns@navy.mil.
(2) COMNAVAIRFORES (N42) is the approval authority for Reserve aircraft or equipment.
Email requests to: cnafr_cann.fct@navy.mil.
(3) COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Aircraft and Support Equipment Branch is the approval
authority for COMNAVAIRSYSCOM aircraft or equipment.
(4) CNATRA (N421) is the approval authority for CNATRA aircraft or equipment.
f. Requests to cannibalize aircraft that are out of reporting (OOR) for Material Condition
Reporting Status (MCRS), will be sent to the respective ACC approval authority via email. ACC
authorization is also required for diversion of RFI aircraft components intended for aircraft or
equipment undergoing a depot rework event, for example, diversion of an RFI component from a
depot production line to a fleet activity.
g. Squadrons, Type Wings, and MAWs must monitor and trend cannibalization actions. As a
minimum, cannibalization monitoring will include:
(1) Total number of cannibalizations
5-17
1 Feb 2021
(2) Cannibalization actions per 100 sorties

(3) Total direct maintenance man-hours (DMMH) used for all cannibalizations
(4) Number of cannibalizations by Malfunction Code (812, 813, 814, 815, 816, 817, 818).
(5) Top five cannibalized items
(6) Total maintenance man-hours used for cannibalization for each Top 5 cannibalized item
NOTES: 1. Naval messages or letters will be used to request approval to cannibalize only if
the activity has no email connectivity.
2. When deployed, the CVW or ACE Maintenance Officer will assume Wing
responsibilities for cannibalization management.
5.1.9 Phase Inspection Management
5.1.9.1 Preparation. Maintenance Control is responsible for planning, coordinating, and
documenting accomplishment of phase inspections. The MMCO or MMCPO will hold a planning
meeting in advance of each phase inspection. The Phase Inspection supervisor and representatives
from QA, Material Control, and applicable work centers will attend the meeting. The purpose of the
meeting is to cover all maintenance actions that need to be completed in conjunction with the phase.
The following will be accomplished at the planning meeting:
a. Review the outstanding TD report, Component Removal Due Report (CRDR), the CAD PAD
Installed Explosive Device report, and all outstanding scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for
the BUNO aircraft, and verify time or cycles data and next removal date or time. Any TD
compliances, component and explosive device replacements, and any scheduled or unscheduled
maintenance that must be complied with during the phase inspection will be added to the Sequence
Control Card (SCC).
b. Review material requirements and validate availability.
c. Review component inventory requirements.
5.1.9.2 Phase Inspection Crew. Maintenance Control will assemble a Phase Inspection crew
comprised of a Phase Inspection supervisor and maintenance personnel from the necessary ratings
or MOS. Requirements:
a. The Phase Inspection supervisor is responsible for coordinating accomplishment of the Phase
Inspection. The Phase Inspection supervisor will be assigned for the duration of the inspection.
Prior to assignment, Phase Inspection supervisors must complete the Maintenance Control
management course requirements of 5.1.2.1.a.
b. Maintenance personnel may be assigned to the crew for the duration of the inspection or as-
needed during the inspection, based on the amount of workload in their rating specialty. The crew is
normally temporarily assigned for individual phase inspections. Larger squadrons may determine it
to be more advantageous to establish a permanent Periodic Maintenance Branch (Work Center 140)
when the number of aircraft assigned results in a consistent inspection workload.
5-18
1 Feb 2021
5.1.9.3 Phase Inspection Management. Upon commencement of the phase inspection, the phase
supervisor is responsible for managing all aspects of the inspection, to include coordinating the
SCCs, directing workload, coordinating material requirements, coordinating work requests and
assistance from other activities, and completion of related documentation.
NOTE: Cannibalization actions and Project/Priority Codes assignment required during the
phase will be directed by Maintenance Control managers, only (5.1.2.1).
5.1.9.4 Phase Inspection Documentation. Documentation of the phase inspection will be
consolidated into a Phase Maintenance Package. The package will be maintained in the aircraft
historical file for one complete phase cycle. The package will contain:
a. The amended SCCs.
b. A copy of the verified CAD PAD Installed Explosive Device report.
c. A copy of the verified Component Removal Due report.
d. A copy of the verified NA500C, Aeronautical Technical Directive Index Report, per
10.10.3.5.e.
e. Serial Number verification, per 8.3.3.3.
5.1.10 Phased Depot Maintenance (PDM) Preparation. Maintenance Control must perform the
following actions prior to delivery of aircraft to PDM:
a. No later than one month prior to the scheduled induction date, the MMCO will prepare and
submit a Phased Depot Maintenance Special Work Request (OPNAV 4790/65) to the cognizant
Wing or MAG Maintenance Officer. The Type Wing or MAG MO is responsible for reviewing and
forwarding the form to the ACC T/M/S Aircraft Class Desk for final approval and forwarding to the
NAVAIR Program Office. PDM Special Work Requests for aircraft going to commercial rework
activities will include a copy to the Contract Administration Office (CAO) at the rework activity.
(1) Blocks A through L, O, Q, and R, are completed by the reporting activity.
(2) Blocks M and N TD information will be filled in by the rework activity.
(3) Special work items requested in block O will be listed in order of priority.
(4) Special request items are workload over and above the planned PDM and result in extra
cost.
(5) Special work will only be requested for maintenance actions beyond the capability of the
operating activity and its supporting I-level activity, such as incorporation of D-level changes or
modifications, correction of continuing or recurring discrepancies, special painting while
disassembled, and tests that require D-level equipment.
(6) The rework activity and the ACC PDM Liaison Officer will mutually decide which of the
items will be performed during PDM.
5-19
1 Feb 2021
(7) COMNAVAIRSYSCOM activities will also provide information on peculiar aircraft

instrumentation and configuration data that will assist the rework activity with processing the
aircraft.
b. Remove all loose gear not required during the rework process and, if applicable, annotate the
inventory log.
c. Remove all ammunition.
d. Remove all pyrotechnics, except those required for flight safety.
e. Remove all classified material and equipment.
f. Perform an aircraft transfer inspection per paragraph 5.4.2.
g. If transferring the aircraft to the depot, provide up-to-date logbooks and CM ALS and other
necessary records. Verify all entries are current as of the date of delivery. Verify all MSR, ASR,
EHR, and SRC cards are inventoried and verified against installed equipment. Refer to paragraph
5.4.2 for aircraft transfer procedures.
h. Deliver SE with the aircraft as prescribed in the PDM rework requirements, for example, jury
struts, landing gear ground safety locks, and intake covers.
i. Deliver aircraft to the rework activity no later than 1200 of the day prior to the scheduled
induction date. Refer to paragraph 5.4.3 for aircraft ferry procedures.
NOTES: 1. Depot rework Fixed Induction Dates (FID) or Period End Dates (PED) can only
be adjusted by the CNO (N980L). Refer to OPNAVINST 3110.11.
2. “Special” Rework is non-PDM, non-recurring depot rework performed as
required. Examples of Special Rework include modifications, conversion, and major
repairs that cannot be performed in the field. Refer to Appendix A for full
descriptions of Standard and Special Rework.
3. Depot field team In Service Repair (ISR) and Planner and Estimator (P&E)
services are not categorized as depot rework.
4. For the few remaining T/M/S aircraft not converted to Phased Depot
Maintenance, refer to 10.43 for information on P&E services for Depot Aircraft
Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) evaluations and Depot Material Condition
Inspections (MCI).
5.2 Intermediate Level (I-Level) Production Control. I-level Production Control is responsible
for managing the receipt, repair, and issuance of engines, components, aircrew survival equipment,
support equipment, and other I-level services. Production Control includes Production Control
(Work Center 020, often referred to as “Main” Production Control) and Division Production
Controls (Work Centers 024, 025, 026, 027, 028, and 029), commonly referred to as “Satellite”
Production Controls.
5-20
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Division PCs are not required. Division PCs will be established only if Main PC is
unable to effectively manage the Division’s workload due to scope, volume, and
complexity.
5.2.1 Production Control Manning
5.2.1.1 Production Control Managers. Production Control Managers are personnel assigned to
Production Control to manage workload requirements and maintenance priorities. Production
Control Managers are the MMCO/PCO, MMCPO/LCPO, and Production Controllers. Production

c. Database Administrator/System Administrator
d. Technical Directive Coordinator
e. SE PMS Coordinator
5.2.2 I-Level Monthly Maintenance Plan (MMP)
5.2.2.1 The I-level MMP is a forecast of maintenance workload with information on related
planning factors. The I-level MMP will contain a month-by-month plan to accomplish major
scheduled maintenance due for the next three months, and will contain the following enclosures, as
a minimum:
a. Projected schedule of items to be inducted for check and test from supported squadrons,
weapons departments, air departments, and supply activities (as applicable).
b. Projected Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) requirements.
c. Chronological schedule of due dates for major scheduled inspections, maintenance, and
calibration requirements for shop installed equipment and facilities. For example, Test stand
hydrostatic and pneumatic testing; Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification; engine
test cell correlation; overhead hoist load testing; and Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment
(TMDE) calibration.
d. Active Technical Directives and directed compliance timeframe, listed in two separate
enclosures:
(1) I-level and D-level TDs applicable to the IMA’s equipment and systems
(2) TDs applicable to supported engines and components, to include I-level TDs and D-level
TDs with a compliance timeframe of next I-level repair or based on operating time
e. Forced removal items for SE and shop-installed equipment, for example, hoses and cylinders.
f. Operational factors anticipated to affect the production effort, such as supported activity
training detachments or deployment that will cause an increase or decrease in the volume of
workload (unclassified, only).
5-22
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Copies of NALCOMIS reports or other maintenance data sources may be used in the
MMP. The MMP may also cross-reference the location of the information, for
example “Calibration information located in the MEASURE Format 800 Report.” If
the MMP cross-references information, Production Control must maintain a copy
(either hard copy or electronic copy) of each referenced document used to build the
current month’s MMP.
5.2.2.2 The Maintenance Material Control Officer (MMCO) or Production Control Officer (PCO)
will prepare the MMP and brief the Maintenance Officer for signature no later than five working
days prior to the first month covered in the MMP. The Assistant Maintenance Officer (AMO) and
the Maintenance Master Chief (Navy) or Aircraft Maintenance Chief (Marine Corps) will attend the
brief. The brief will include:
a. Progress in achieving the current month’s maintenance schedule
b. Scheduled maintenance for the upcoming month, with emphasis on maintenance that will
impact production
c. Operational factors anticipated to affect the production effort
d. Current and projected problems in meeting production
5.2.2.3 Production Control will maintain a working copy of the MMP and annotate changes and
deviations from the schedule as they occur.
5.2.3 Workload Prioritization
5.2.3.1 Production Control will direct priorities for inspection, repair, testing, certification,
modification, and manufacturing of all aeronautical components inducted into the IMA, including
work requests. All workload, including off-equipment maintenance, component and sub-component
repair, and work in support of the Weapons Department will be assigned one of the following
priorities:
a. Priority 1 - Required to fill an outstanding NMCS or PMCS requisition (EXREP), NMC or
PMC work request, or NMC or PMC test equipment requirement. Additionally, Priority 1 is
assigned to all work requests from activities within 30 days of deployment, regardless of NMC or
PMC status. All Buffer Status Red (BSR) and 0-Design components, including local repair cycle
assets (LRCA), will be Priority 1.
b. Priority 2 - Items that are Buffer Status Yellow, to include local repair cycle assets (LRCA)
and items of SE or test equipment.
c. Priority 3 - Items that are Buffer Status Green, to include Local Repair Cycle Assets (LRCA),
items of SE or test equipment, and repair or manufacture of material not in NMC or PMC status.
d. Priority 4 - Processing salvaged material and non-aeronautical work.
5-23
1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. The Aeronautical Material Screening Unit (AMSU) assigns the work priority to
each Maintenance Action Form (MAF) at time of induction, per the procedures of
paragraph 16.1.3.1.
2. Production Control will adjust work priorities as deemed necessary, for example
prioritizing inspection or repair of items required to support an upcoming training
event or deployment.
3. All items inducted under a single Family Group Code (FGC) will have the same
priority. For example, if one item within the FGC has a management code of ER,
then all items in that FGC will be priority 1.
5.2.3.2 The Buffer Management Tool (BMT) will be used to prioritize production. Production
Control will:
a. Use the Abbreviated or Detailed Active TRR Report to monitor daily workload.
b. Use the Physical Buffer Reports to manage daily workload in components divisions.
c. Review the EXREP report (Detailed Active TRR Report with “ER” Management Code
Selected) to determine if other components of the same Family Group Code are in the repair process
and which items should be prioritized to fill EXREP requisitions as quickly as possible.
d. Align workload priorities to inventory allowances and customer demand by conducting
historical repairable component time to reliably replenish (TRR) analysis, utilizing the Historical
Detailed TRR Analysis Report to identify improvement opportunities. For example, if historical
data indicates a specific Work Center or Family Group Code (FGC) consistently does not meet
(TRR), adjustments must be made in order to avoid out of stock (EXREP) conditions.
e. Monitor items in the Black color zone on the Detailed Active TRR or other reports and
determine constraint to production. The Black color zone indicates items that have exceeded the
established TRR (Design TRR), which is usually due to problems with awaiting parts, equipment,
assistance from other work centers, disposition instructions, or lack of personnel. Verify the Job
Status (JS) is correct and any workable MAFs (M3) are put into the work cycle to complete the
maintenance action.
f. Conduct AWP validation by using the BMT AWP Reconciliation Reports to track status of
supply requisitions.
g. Use the Daily Production Report to coordinate turnover between work shifts.
5.2.4 Component Repair
5.2.4.1 Production Control will direct repair to the full extent of the IMA’s capabilities for all
components with Source Maintenance and Recoverability (SM&R) code indicating I-level
capability.
5-24
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: SM&R Code errors will be immediately reported to the TYCOM Class Desk
responsible for the T/M/S aircraft/engine/equipment. SM&R code errors for Aircraft
Armament Systems (AAS) will be reported to the TYCOM AAS Class Desk.
5.2.4.2 Non-RFI Field Level Repairables (FLRs) with SM&R code PAOOO will be processed
through the IMA for review of potential to repair. If Production Control determines repairs are
economically possible in consideration of the replacement cost of the item, the ICRL capability code
will be listed as C1 or C3 (as determined by Maintenance Control) and the IMA will submit a
recommendation to change the SM&R Code to PAOOG or PAOOH. If Production Control
determines repairs to a particular PAOOO NIIN are not economically feasible, the ICRL capability
will be listed as X1 and the local field will be annotated "1Y RevComp." Once the PAOOO item is
coded X1, supported O-level activities are no longer required to turn-in the item and may locally
dispose of the material.
5.2.4.3 IMAs will perform test, check and repair of items covered under a Performance Based
Logistics (PBL) contract to the extent specified in the SM&R Code. If a PBL item has an SM&R
code with a "G" or "H" in the 4th position, the IMA will test and repair the item per the
specifications in applicable I-level technical manuals, including Progressive or Gold Disk test
routines that the I Level has capability to perform.
5.2.5 Beyond Capability of Maintenance (BCM)
5.2.5.1 BCM Codes. Production Control is responsible for applying the most appropriate BCM
Action Taken Code to components that cannot be repaired. BCM Action Taken Codes:
a. BCM 1 - Repair Not Authorized. The activity is specifically not authorized to repair the item
in applicable directives, for example, required maintenance function not assigned by SM&R code,
maintenance plan, technical manual, or other reference.
NOTE: BCM 1 will not be used for components with an F, G, or H in the 4th position of the
SM&R code, which indicate I-level maintenance is authorized by F-Afloat IMAs, G-
Afloat and Ashore IMAs, and H-Shore based IMAs. Use X2, X3, X6 or X8, as
appropriate to the constraint preventing repair. BCM Code 2, 3, 6, or 8 will be used
as most appropriate to the inability to repair. Additionally, ICRL Capability Code
X1 will not be used for components with F, G, or H in the 4th position of the SM&R
code. If BCM is required due to lack of SE, technical data, technicians or training,
ICRL Capability Code X2 must be assigned along with a Target Capability Code
(TCC) and Target Capability Code Date (TCC DT).
b. BCM 2 - Lack of Equipment, Tools, or Facilities. The repair is authorized but cannot be
performed due to lack of equipment, tools, or facilities, for example, required equipment is on
IMRL but authorized quantity is zero, receipt of authorized individual material repair list (IMRL)
equipment not expected within 30 days (zero quantity on hand), return of required equipment from
repair or calibration not expected within 30 days, non-IMRL tools and equipment not on hand, lack
of permanently installed facilities, or specifically directed by the ACC or TYCOM.
5-25
1 Feb 2021
c. BCM 3 - Lack of Technical Skills. The repair is authorized but cannot be performed due to a
lack of technical skills, for example, permanent billet will be vacant for more than 30 days;
temporary additional duty (TAD) billet will be vacant for more than 30 days; billet incumbent
absent (TAD, leave, etc.); formal technical training is nonexistent; formal technical training exists
but cannot be used due to lack of quota or funds; Rating, NEC, or MOS required is not reflected on
manpower authorization; or Rating, NEC, or MOS is on board but billet not assigned to IMA.
d. BCM 4 - Lack of Parts. Repair is authorized but cannot be performed because required parts
will not be available.
NOTE: BCM 4 will be used only when there is a replacement asset in the wholesale system
and the asset is required to resolve a material deficiency that is negatively affecting
an operational requirement. The unit requiring the material meets one of the
following Force Activity Designator (FAD) conditions: Designated FAD II or higher;
FAD III, but directly supporting a deploying or deployed FAD II unit; FAD III and
the lack of parts are preventing the unit from achieving specified aircraft readiness
requirements, e.g., Ready for Tasking (RFT).
e. BCM 5 - Fails Check and Test. The activity's authorized level of maintenance is limited to
check and test only and repair is required.
f. BCM 6 - Lack of Technical Data. Repair is authorized but cannot be performed due to a lack
of technical data.
NOTE: BCM 6 will only be used when Naval Aviation Technical Data and Engineering
Command (NATEC) and the TYCOM or MAW have acknowledged inability to
obtain the required technical data within 30 days, does not exist or does not provide
adequate technical information. Use ICRL Capability Code X6 with accompanying
Target Capability Code (TCC) and Target Capability Code Date (TCC DT), per
10.20.3.4.
g. BCM 7 - Beyond Authorized Repair Depth. Some level of repair beyond check and test is
authorized, but the maintenance function required to return the item to a RFI condition is not
assigned by SM&R code, MIMs, maintenance plan, or other technical decision.
h. BCM 8 - Administrative. Repair is not attempted due to an HMR EI exhibit, missing SRC
data that cannot be determined, item under warranty, repair costs exceed Aviation Depot Level
Repair (AVDLR) Net Price or replacement cost, excessive backlog, budgetary limitations, materials
in excess of requirements, or when specifically directed by the ACC or TYCOM. Conditions for
using BCM-8:
(1) BCM 8 will be performed if the repair costs exceed the AVDLR replacement cost, unless
the additional repair cost is justified due to a critical readiness shortfall.
(2) BCM 8 for excessive backlog will only be used when the BCM will result in improved
delivery time of a component needed to mitigate a critical readiness shortfall. BCM 8 will not be
used to improve a repair site’s TRR metric.
5-26
1 Feb 2021
(3) ACC approval is required to BCM 8 for materials in excess of requirements or due to
budgetary limitations.
i. BCM 9 - Condemned. A repairable item is so severely worn or damaged that repair is not
feasible, as determined by local maintenance personnel, or specifically directed by ACC or
TYCOM. The item is locally condemned and returned to the Supply Department for survey,
retrograde, or scrap (as appropriate) per applicable directives.
5.2.5.2 BCM Authorization
a. The MO will specify procedures for authorizing BCM actions in a Local Command
Procedure (Appendix D). The LCP will include direction on which billets can authorize BCM
Action Taken Codes 1, 5, 7, and 9.
NOTE: Authorization to BCM Aircraft Armament Systems (AAS) must be requested from
the AAS TYCOM per COMNAVAIRFORINST 8380.2.
b. The CO/OIC/MO (shore based IMA) or AIMD Officer (CVN or L-class ships) must approve
all BCM 2, 3, 6, or 8 actions. Authority to approve BCM 2, 3,6, and 8 can be delegated to the
MMCO.
c. Navy I-level CO, OIC, and AIMD Officers will jointly approve BCM 4 with the station or
ship Supply Officer after confirming operational need with the Wing Maintenance Officer (Type
Wing, CVW, or ACE). The CO is the BCM 4 authority for a MALS.
NOTE: BCM 4 authority cannot be delegated.
d. BCM authorization will be documented using a locally developed form (Figure 5-5).
NOTE: Once BCM is authorized, the component will be shipped within two working days to
the designated support point (DSP), designated rework point (DRP), or other activity
having repair or processing capability.
5.2.5.3 BCM MAF Documentation. Refer to 16.2.5.27 for BCM MAF documentation and parts
procedures.
5.2.6 I-Level Cannibalization Management. I-level cannibalization is an acceptable management
choice only when necessary to meet the readiness requirements of supported commands.
5.2.6.1 Production Control and the Aviation Support Division will co-develop procedures for
authorizing cannibalization. Conditions:
5.2.6.2 Production Control is responsible for eliminating unnecessary cannibalization. Orders to
cannibalize must come from Production Control. Production Control must enter the appropriate
malfunction code (Appendix E) when initiating a cannibalization WO. Production Control will
assess the effectiveness of cannibalization by tracking related measurements, such as AWP time, Y-
Code rate, Time to Reliably Replenish (TRR), and average maintenance man-hours per
cannibalization.
5-27
1 Feb 2021
5.2.6.3 To minimize opportunity for unauthorized cannibalization, AWM and AWP components
will be removed from work centers and stored in a centralized, controlled location. When
centralized location of AWM items is not possible due to space limitations, AWM items may be
stored in the work centers. If bins are available, the exact location of the AWM item should be
marked on the MAF to facilitate location by AMSU.
5.2.7 I-Level Documentation and Logs and Records
5.2.7.1 Production Control is responsible for the complete and accurate documentation of work
performed per Chapter 15.
5.2.7.2 Production Control is responsible for the accuracy and currency of logs and records and
associated CM ALS, per Chapter 8. When satellite Production Controls are established, Logs and
Records and CM ALS will be maintained within the satellite Production Control work space.
5.2.7.3 Production Control will screen incoming WOs, Logs and Records and CM ALS for all
inspections and repairs required to be performed. Particular attention will be paid during the
induction of Work Requests submitted from other activities. The Work Request Removal Record
(“E” block) must be verified with the ALS in NALCOMIS prior to starting the induction process.
Inductions with incorrect Cage, Part Number or Serial Number prevent the link between the I-level
Work Order and the ALS residing on the server. Forcing this action fails to update the inspection
due date and write to the inspection record of items.
5.2.8 Broad Arrow (BA) Reporting. All IMAs are responsible for Broad Arrow reporting. A
Broad Arrow Report (Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-7) will be submitted whenever an item of SE
(bench/test set/operational test program set (OTPS)/rolling stock) is inoperative (loses its capability
to perform its designated function ) and the loss of function impacts, or potentially impacts, the
ability of the IMA to provide I-level support. The report will be submitted as soon as the BA
condition occurs. BA reports are exempt from communications MINIMIZE restrictions. A BA
report must be submitted even though there are no repair parts on order, for example, when
Engineering and Technical Services (ETS) assistance is required to analyze the problem or to make
adjustments or alignments. The BA brings attention to the lost capability and expedites assistance.
The BA report is not a substitute for an ETS request.
NOTES: 1. New construction ships will be exempt from BA Reporting until IMRL assets are
accepted by CNAL.
2. Inputting Broad Arrow data via AMSRR on activity’s Aircraft Material

Readiness Report (AMRR) and the BASE (Broad Arrow/Support Equipment)
module does not satisfy communication requirements of official Naval message. BA
reports must be submitted via official Naval message system such as Automated
Message Handling System (AMHS).
5.2.8.1 Broad Arrow Report Usage Not Mission Capable Project (NMC). Use NMC Project
Code ZF7 for all broad arrow categories and assign a GB series document number. BA Related
impact codes:
5-28
1 Feb 2021
C1: No impact on repair capability.
• Repair capability can be maintained with multiple or legacy test benches.
C2: Impact on repair capability.
• Repair turnaround time is able to meet customer demand rate.
• AWM backlog is low or none.
• Workaround may exist, but is unreliable.
C3: Significant impact on capability.
• Repair turnaround time does not meet customer demand rate.
• Workaround exists, but cannot meet demand.
• Supply reserves may exist, but are or approaching Pool Zero with on-board/on-station
replacement assets available but at critical level.
• No supply reserves, but no maintenance backlog with no on-aboard/on-station

replacement assets available and no immediate requirements exists.
C4: No capability to provide repair/calibration/service.
• 1 of 1 bench/test set/OTPS/rolling stock non RFU with no workaround.
• 1 of 2 bench/test set/OTPS/rolling stock RFU, but EXREPs cannot be cleared in a timely

manner.
5.2.8.2 Broad Arrow Report Numbering. For accounting purposes, BA report numbers will be a
two-part number. Part one will be the year the BA report is initiated and part two will be a three
digit sequential number starting with 001 for the first BA of the calendar year, for example, BA
report 2018001 followed by 2018002 followed by 2018003. If more than 999 reports are generated
in a calendar year start over with sequence number 001. The original BA report number should be
referenced in any follow-on correspondence, such as the BA Addendum, BA SEIS Report, BA
Requisition Completion Report. Multiple items that fall under different WUCs will be given
different BA report numbers. Multiple test benches with two or more stations down will have
separate BA report numbers given to each station.
5.2.8.3 Broad Arrow Report for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Malfunctions. ATE
malfunctions are often caused by failure of the Test Program Set (TPS) instead of failure in the basic
ATE. If failure is due to the TPS, the BA report must clearly cite the TPS element as the failed item
(as opposed to the bench itself). TPS consisting of multiple items such as an Interface Device (ID),
Test Fixture (TF), Holding Fixture (HF), Cable Assembly Set (CAS), and/or Accessory Set
individually reported in Support Equipment Management System (SEMS) will receive a separate
5-29
1 Feb 2021
BA report number identifying each IMRL item that is inoperative. If a second TPS should fail
affecting additional components, a separate BA report must be submitted. Broad Arrow for ATE
and/or TPS are considered separate items and must receive separate BA reports and report numbers,
for example, the Broad Arrow for a CASS ALQ-99 TPS ID will have its own BA report number,
different from the Broad Arrow report number for CASS itself. Additionally, if the CASS ALQ-99
TPS CAS requires repair, it would have its own BA report number to identify the two different
elements of the TPS affecting the BA condition.
NOTE: Only ACC or TYCOM may direct transfer or temp loan of an IMRL asset.
Operational Test Program Sets (OTPSs) for CASS Family of Testers (FoT) are not
IMRL. Therefore the BA reports must reflect the specific failed TPS IMRL item that
would mitigate the condition driving the BA requirement. (See paragraph 5.2.8.8,
Broad Arrow Temporary Loan and Cannibalization.)
5.2.8.4 Broad Arrow Addendum. A BA Addendum (Figures 5-8 and Figure 5-9) will be
submitted when additional problems, directly related to the original failure, are detected. In most
cases a BA Addendum is submitted when additional repair parts are needed to solve the problem
described in the original message. However, a BA Addendum may also be appropriate to highlight
a requirement for additional assistance, for example, Engineering and Technical Services (ETS),
technical data, and FRC field team. Additional parts should be annotated on the activity’s Aircraft
Material Readiness Report (AMRR) and the BASE (Broad Arrow/Support Equipment) module in
Aviation Management Supply and Readiness Reporting (AMSRR).
5.2.8.5 Broad Arrow Support Equipment In-Service Report. A Broad Arrow SEIS Report
(Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11) must be submitted when the SE is operational and no further
assistance is required.
5.2.8.6 Broad Arrow Requisition Completion Report. A Broad Arrow Requisition Completion
Report (Figure 5-12) must be completed within one day of receipt of parts required to resolve a BA
condition. If a BA SEIS Report can be submitted in the same one day period, the parts requisition
information may be included in the BA SEIS report and a separate BA Requisition Completion
Report is not required.
5.2.8.7 Broad Arrow Non-RFI Repairable components. Non-RFI repairable components related
to a BA condition that are beyond the IMA’s repair capability must be requisitioned. Requisitions
will be submitted and retrograde component will be preserved, packaged, documented, and shipped
within 24 hours. Shipment of retrograde parts will be made via fastest traceable means to the
organic or commercial Designated Rework Point (DRP) or Advanced Traceability and Control
(ATAC) hub (as appropriate), unless otherwise directed by the ACC or TYCOM. ACCs will
expedite BA material requisitions from the time the requisitions are first visible until receipt of the
BA Requisition Completion Report or BA SEIS Report.
5.2.8.8 Broad Arrow Temporary Loan and Cannibalization. Generally, a temporary loan of
equipment or cannibalization of parts between activities will occur only when replacement
equipment or parts are available within the system, but cannot be obtained in a timely manner, such
as immediate need to support a deploying activity. Procedures as follows:
5-30
1 Feb 2021
a. The ACC will direct the BA temporary loan via naval message. The message will identify
the equipment, shipping TCN, and means of replacement.
b. The receiving activity must:
(1) Advise the ACC and all concerned upon receipt of transferred material.
(2) If directed by the ACC, cancel the BA requisition.
(3) Submit a BA Support Equipment In Service (SEIS) Report (Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11)
the next day following the restoration of the unit's operational capability for overseas and afloat
activities and within 5 working days for all other units. A report must be submitted even if the
condition has been resolved through the temporary loan of SE from another activity.
c. The transferring activity must:
(1) Initiate a BA message citing the ACC or TYCOM transfer or temporary loan authority
message.
(2) If the asset was not taken as a temporary loan and if directed by ACC, place an asset on
order and cite the receiving activity's requisition as proof of turn in.
5.3 Aircraft, Engine, and Equipment Inspection
5.3.1 General requirements
a. The aircraft and equipment inspection intervals and procedures specified in technical manuals
will be strictly adhered to.
b. Aircraft will not be released for flight and equipment will not be operated when the
maximum limit between scheduled maintenance intervals is reached.
c. Aircraft will not be released for flight and equipment will not be operated when an over limit
condition requiring a conditional inspection has not been resolved, for example, hard landing,
overstress, over temp, lightning strike, overweight take-off or landing, and field arrestment.
d. Physical custodians of aircraft, engines and equipment may increase the frequency or depth
of any inspection whenever excessive flight or calendar time has elapsed between inspections, or
when environmental or operational conditions are considered to have impaired the material
reliability or integrity of the aircraft or equipment. Inspections performed at an increased frequency
or depth do not alter the schedule of the programmed inspections and are logged, if required, as the
type which would normally be performed.
e. Components with a forced removal requirement based on operating time or cycles will
normally be replaced during the scheduled inspection that falls within the component’s plus or
minus 10 percent operating limitation, unless operation beyond the specified forced removal time is
expressly prohibited by the applicable periodic maintenance information card (PMIC) or other
directive.
5-31
1 Feb 2021
5.3.2 Scheduling. Inspections will be scheduled to minimize the number of aircraft or equipment
undergoing inspection at any one time. When an individual special inspection or a group of special
inspections are due simultaneously and loss of the aircraft or equipment will impact operational
requirements, Maintenance Control may divide the inspection into portions performed incrementally
as long as the inspection(s) are completed within the allowable high limit. When this deviation is
used, Maintenance Control or the Periodic Maintenance Branch (WC 140) must maintain the
controlling inspection WO for each inspection performed. QAR and/or CDI in-process inspections
must be documented on the applicable work center WOs.
5.3.3 Inspection Documentation
a. Inspections must be documented in NALCOMIS. The appropriate mission capability impact
and EOC code will be assigned to aircraft inspection WOs. When inspection requirements do not
require a major disassembly of the aircraft and do not affect mission capability, the aircraft is
considered to be mission capable during the entire inspection. However, if panels or components
are removed to conduct the inspections and cannot be replaced within a 2-hour time frame, that
portion of the inspection will be considered to have impacted mission capability and must be
documented using the appropriate EOC code. EOC codes must be applied to material discrepancies
found during inspections.
b. Completed inspection WOs will be maintained in the aircraft’s or equipment’s historical file
or the electronic historical files. Chapter 8 provides direction documenting inspections in Logs and
Records.
c. Depots will make logbook entries for all inspection requirements actually performed during
rework. Entries will contain sufficient detail to enable the receiving activity to accurately determine
when the next inspection is due.
5.3.4 Depot Rework Inspections
5.3.4.1 Special Inspections are normally completed by the depot during standard rework, unless the
rework is performed at the reporting custodian's site. If Special Inspection requirements were not
included in depot standard rework, all Special Inspections due must be completed prior to the post-
depot rework FCF.
NOTE: The FST, with the concurrence of the ACC, will include an MRC exclusion list in
each standard rework specification. The MRC exclusion list will contain all MRC
items that are not performed during standard rework. The accepting squadron must
complete all deferred Special Inspection requirements prior to the post-depot rework
FCF.
5.3.4.2 When an aircraft returns to the reporting custodian after standard rework, the new base date
for those Special Inspections performed as part of the standard rework will be the date the aircraft
completed rework. If the rework specification satisfied Special Inspection requirements, the depot
may rebase all completed special inspections as of the rework completion date. The new base date
will be entered in the Miscellaneous/History section of applicable AESRs, and NTCSS Optimized
OMA (OOMA) CM procedures will be used to establish the new base dates in OOMA.
5-32
1 Feb 2021
5.3.4.3 All MRC tasks required for flight safety or aircraft ferry must be included in the applicable
standard rework specifications and accomplished during rework.
5.3.4.4 Depots will perform conditional inspections when situations requiring conditional
inspection compliance occur during the depot rework process or during depot FCF.
5.3.4.5 Phase Inspections and major engine inspections are not normally included in depot rework
unless specifically requested by the reporting custodian and approved by the ACC and
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
5.3.5 Aircraft Preflight, Daily, Turnaround, and Postflight Inspections
5.3.5.1 Aircraft Preflight Inspection. A Preflight Inspection is performed to verify the material
integrity and correct servicing of the aircraft prior to aircrew acceptance of the aircraft for flight.
The Preflight Inspection is conducted per T/M/S aircraft MRCs and NATOPS.
5.3.5.2 Aircraft Daily Inspection. The Daily Inspection is conducted to inspect for defects to a
greater depth than the turnaround inspection.
a. Daily Inspections will be conducted per T/M/S aircraft MRCs.
b. Daily Inspections are valid for a maximum of 72 hours commencing from the date and time
the inspection is completed, provided no maintenance other than servicing is performed and no
flight occurs during the 72-hour period. Once a flight occurs, the aircraft may make multiple flights
within a 24-hour period without performing another Daily Inspection, provided no maintenance
other than servicing is performed. The 24-hour period begins with the first launch following
completion of the Daily Inspection. In no case is a Daily Inspection valid for more than 72 hours
unless the end of the 72-hour period occurs while the aircraft is in flight. Figure 5-2 provides
examples of Daily Inspection requirements under various aircraft flight scenarios.
c. In the event maintenance (other than servicing) is performed after the Daily Inspection is
completed, Maintenance Control must determine if another complete Daily is needed or if a partial
inspection will suffice to return the aircraft to compliance with the Daily requirements.
d. When aircraft must be operated away from the local area without qualified maintenance
support for periods not exceeding 72 hours, the CO may authorize the pilot-in-command to conduct
applicable T/M/S NATOPS pilot inspections in lieu of Preflight, Daily, Turnaround and Postflight
inspections, certify servicing requirements are accomplished, and sign the Aircraft Inspection and
Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141) (Figure 5-4) in the certification block. In these cases, the
Daily Inspection must be performed immediately prior to the commencement of the mission. The
expiration of the CO 72-hour authorization may occur during the return flight to home base (or to a
site with maintenance support), per NOTE 3 of Figure 5-2. On a case-by-case basis, Wings and
MAGs may authorize an additional 24 hours (maximum of 96 hours), due to operational necessity.
COs must request the authorization in writing (email, letter, memorandum, or naval message) citing
the specific BUNO, name and rank of the pilot in command, and a description of the mission with
justification of operational necessity. Type Wing or MAG authorization must be in writing. The
email reference, Date Time Group (DTG) of the message, or serial number of letter authorizing the
5-33
1 Feb 2021
deviation must be cited in the Daily Inspection WO or in the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance
Record (OPNAV 4790/141) completed prior to commencement of the mission.
5.3.5.3 Aircraft Turnaround Inspection. Turnaround Inspections are performed between flights
that occur after completion of the Daily Inspection. A Turnaround Inspection is conducted to detect
material degradation that may have occurred during the previous flight, verify fluid consumption
levels were within limits, and service the aircraft.
a. Turnaround Inspections are valid for a period of 24 hours commencing from the date and
time the inspection is completed, provided no flight and no maintenance other than servicing occurs
during this period.
b. Once the aircraft is weight off wheels, the Turnaround Inspection is considered to be expired.
c. Completing a Daily Inspection does not satisfy Turnaround Inspection requirements.
d. Accomplishment of a complete Turnaround Inspection is not required between repetitive
flight evolutions interspersed with brief ground periods, such as Hot Seating, hot refueling,
passenger or cargo stops, short interruptions for adjustments during helicopter FCFs, or if cold
refueling the aircraft for immediate relaunch when the pilot in command remains the same. When
servicing or other minor maintenance is performed during such ground periods, only those portions
of the Turnaround Inspection applicable to that servicing or maintenance need to be performed, as
directed by Maintenance Control. Periodic inspections or servicing intervals will not be exceeded
during successive ground evolutions. All applicable NATOPS checklist must be complied with
during ground periods.
e. Turnaround Inspections are not required for Hot Seat evolutions. In the event servicing or
minor maintenance is required during Hot Seat, only those portions of the Turnaround Inspection
applicable to the specific servicing or maintenance must be performed, as directed by Maintenance
Control. This does not limit commands from performing other inspections they deem necessary.
Special Inspection and servicing intervals must not be exceeded during successive Hot Seat
evolutions. All applicable NATOPS checklists must be complied with prior to launch.
5.3.5.4 Aircraft Postflight Inspection. Aircraft Postflight inspection is performed immediately
after aircraft shut-down to inspect for visible damage that may have occurred during flight. Aircraft
Postflight Inspection is performed per T/M/S MRCs.
5.3.5.5 Documentation. Aircraft Preflight, Daily, Turnaround and Postflight Inspections are
documented on a Preflight/Daily/Turnaround/Postflight Maintenance Record (OPNAV 4790/38)
(Figure 5-3). The records may be destroyed on completion of the next like inspection. All other
inspections are documented on the WO per Chapter 15. The Preflight/Daily/Turnaround/Postflight
Maintenance Record (OPNAV 4790/38) is completed by entering the following information:
Block 1 - PREFLIGHT, DAILY, TURNAROUND, and POSTFLIGHT blocks. Check the type of
inspection being performed.
Block 2 - DATE AND TIME. Date and time the inspection is performed.
5-34
1 Feb 2021
Block 3 - T/M/S. Aircraft T/M/S being inspected.

Block 4 - BUNO. BUNO of aircraft being inspected.
Block 5 - SIDE NO. Side number of aircraft being inspected.
Block 6 - ACTIVITY. Activity performing inspection.
Block 7 - CARD NUMBER/RTG/MOS. Separate entries are required for each MRC, for example,
PC-1, PC-1.1, and PC-1.2 would be three separate line entries. If desired, rating or MOS may be
included. When using checklists enter one step number per line, for example, steps 1, 2, 3, 4, would
be four separate line entries.
Block 8 - TOOL CONTAINER NUMBER. Tool container number, entered once, on the line where
the using technician's name first appears.
Block 9 - DISCREPANCY / JCN. Enter a brief narrative description of each discrepancy. A JCN
is required for all discrepancies except those corrected by servicing to replace fluids routinely
consumed in flight, such as fuel and LOX. (Chapter 15 contains additional guidance.)
Block 10 - CORRECTED. Check in YES column if discrepancy in Block 9 is corrected; check in
NO column if discrepancy has not been corrected. If NO is checked, there must be a JCN in Block
9.
Block 11 - SIGNATURE AND RATE / MOS. Signature and rate or MOS of the individual
performing the inspection. A signature and rate or MOS must appear for each line entry.
NOTE: For inspections requiring only one individual to perform all applicable
MRC/checklist numbers, the first and last card number are required to be signed
(with an arrow connecting both signatures) by the individual performing the
inspection.
Block 12 - MAINTENANCE CONTROL REPRESENTATIVE. Signature and rate or rank
indicating Maintenance Control has reviewed the inspection record, MRCs have been checked for
currency, and JCNs have been issued as required.
5.3.6 Special Inspections. Special Inspections are scheduled on a prescribed recurring interval
other than daily, phase, major engine, or standard depot rework. Special inspection intervals are
directed in technical publications with intervals based on elapsed calendar time, flight hours,
operating hours, or number of events or cycles, for example, every 28 days, every 100 flight hours,
every 50 operating hours, every 10 arrestments, and every 5000 rounds fired. In some cases, aircraft
special inspections also contain engine inspection requirements and are referred to as combined
airframe and engine special inspections. Requirements:
a. Compliance with established special inspection intervals is mandatory for aircraft in all status
codes (Appendix E), except for Strike Codes 1S0 through 4S0, and all aeronautical equipment.
b. Special inspections may be deferred while aircraft and equipment are in preservation as long
as preservation is maintained per the applicable preservation MRCs. A one-time inspection,
5-35
1 Feb 2021
consisting of all special inspection MRCs not accomplished while preserved must be performed
prior to returning the aircraft or equipment to operational status.
c. The first interval for special inspections based on calendar time commences on the date of the
Department of Defense (DOD) acceptance check flight. In the event a new production aircraft is
accepted by Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), but immediately commences
modifications prior to delivery to a fleet or test activity, the first interval for inspections based on
calendar time commences on the date the aircraft is accepted by the first fleet or test activity. The
first interval for inspections based on flight hours, operating hours, cycles, or events will include
any hours/cycles/events accumulated prior to Navy acceptance.
5.3.7 Phase Inspections
5.3.7.1 Concept. Some, but not all, T/M/S aircraft have an established Phase Inspection cycle that
divides major inspection and maintenance requirements into ordered segments (Phase A, B, C, D,
etc.) performed sequentially at specified flight-hour or calendar intervals. Completion of all
required phase inspections in sequence completes the phase inspection cycle, which then starts over.
The cycle is repetitive for the service life of the aircraft and is not interrupted during standard
rework.
5.3.7.2 Cycle Initiation. The Phase Inspection cycle for new production aircraft may be initiated at
any time during the time interval specified for the first phase in the cycle, but may not exceed the
allowable deviation high limit. For example, if a new production aircraft has a 100 flight hour phase
interval, the first phase inspection may be completed at any time up to 100 flight hours time since
new (TSN) + 10 flight hours allowable deviation = 110 flight hours TSN maximum. If the first
phase is completed at 70 flight hours TSN, the next phase in the cycle is due at 70 + 100 = 170 flight
hours TSN. However, if the first phase is completed after 100 flight hours TSN, the next phase is
due as if no high limit deviation had occurred; i.e., at 100 + 100 = 200 flight hours TSN. Activities
may elect to initiate the phase inspection cycle at other than the first phase in the cycle, provided all
MRCs necessary to certify accomplishment of all previous phases in the cycle are performed. For
example, if the cycle is started at Phase C, the activity must perform all MRCs for Phase A and
Phase B as well as Phase C, and will document accomplishment of Phase A, B and C in the aircraft
logbook and any affected aeronautical equipment service records (AESR).
5.3.7.3 Suspension During Depot Rework. A calendar-based phase inspection cycle is suspended
when an aircraft and its Logs and Records are in depot physical custody. Procedures:
a. The cycle is suspended the date the aircraft changes to an AIRRS Standard or Special
Rework Status code ending in “1” (aircraft located at the depot). The cycle resumes when the
aircraft and logs and records are accepted back from the depot and returns to AIRRS status code
ending in “0.” For example, an aircraft that had 100 calendar days remaining until the next phase
inspection when it was transferred to depot custody has the next phase inspection due 100 days after
acceptance by the reporting custodian.
b. A flight-hour based phase inspection cycle is not suspended during depot rework. For
example, an aircraft that went into depot rework with the next phase inspection due at 1234 flight
hours TSN still has the next phase in the cycle due at 1234 flight hours TSN.
5-36
1 Feb 2021
c. Maintenance Control may elect to reset the phase inspection cycle at any phase within the
cycle that exceeds the last phase completed, provided those MRCs for each phase advanced are
performed. For example, the inspection cycle consists of Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, and Phase D,
and the next phase due is Phase B. If Maintenance Control wants to advance the phase cycle to
Phase D. To accomplish the reset, all MRCs for Phase B and C must be completed either before or
at the time the Phase B is due. The reset will be documented in the aircraft logbook and any
affected aeronautical equipment service records (AESR) as accomplishment of Phase B and C.
Phase D will then be due at the expiration of the established Phase D interval.
5.3.7.4 Phase Inspection Kits. Standard materials for phase inspections are normally assembled in
a Phase Maintenance Kit per paragraph 6.6.7 procedures.
5.3.8 Engine Inspections
5.3.8.1 Special Engine Inspections. Special engine inspections are based on calendar or operating
hour intervals.
5.3.8.2 Phased Engine Inspections. Phased engine inspections (Phase A, B, C, etc.) are engine
inspection and maintenance requirements that must be accomplished sequentially at the specified
interval. Completion of all required phases at their specified interval completes the engine phase
inspection cycle. The cycle is repetitive for the service life of the engine and is not interrupted
during aircraft standard rework.
5.3.8.3 Major Engine Inspections. Major engine inspections are comprehensive I-level or D-level
inspections to determine the material condition of the engine. The operating activity removes the
Quick Engine Change Assembly (QECA) due for major engine inspection from the aircraft, turns
the QECA in to the supporting IMA for inspection, and requisitions a replacement QECA. IMAs
will perform the next major engine inspection due on all engines turned in for unscheduled I-level
repair, per the following criteria:
a. All engine inspections will be accomplished during first-degree engine repair. Engines
installed following first-degree repair will be “zero timed” for inspection purposes.
b. Engines with major inspection intervals of 400 hours or more will have major inspections
performed if 25 percent or less of the interval remains until the next inspection.
c. Engines with major inspection intervals of less than 400 hours will have major inspections
performed if less than 100 hours remain until the next inspection.
5.3.9 Conditional Inspections
5.3.9.1 Conditional inspections are inspections required due to an over limit condition, specific
usage, or operational event. Hard landing, over stress, over temp, lightning strike, over weight take-
off or landing, and field arrestment are examples of over limit conditional inspections. A post-fire
gun inspection is an example of a specific usage conditional inspection. Pre-and-post carrier
operations are examples of operational event conditional inspections.
5-37
1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. If a conditional inspection is required because of exceedance of a limit or because

of specific usage, the aircraft/engine/equipment is down until the inspection and
related maintenance is completed.
2. In some instances, the PMIC may direct more frequent performance of special
inspections as a result of an over limit condition. Cumulative occurrences of an over
limit condition may require performance of a higher level inspection (such as a
major engine inspection), as directed by the applicable aircraft, engine or equipment
maintenance technical manual.
5.3.9.2 One-time inspections directed by higher authority (not directed by a TD) are conditional
inspections for which no predetermined situation or event has been identified, but an inspection is
determined necessary by the CO, MO, Maintenance Control or Production Control, or by an
authority in the chain of command, such as Type Wing, CVW, ACE, MAG, MAW, or ACC. The
discrepancy block for WOs issued for one-time inspections must contain the inspection requirement,
directive and compliance time limit. For example, “Inspect for missing 1-inch spanner wrench per
COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2 Tool Control NAMPSOP prior to next flight;” and “Inspect for
aircraft identification plate per COMNAVAIRPAC message DTG 010026Z JUL 2018 no later than
15 July 2018.”
5.3.9.3 Conditional inspection documentation requirements are in Chapter 15 (O-level activities)
and Chapter 16 (I-level activities).
5.3.10 Inspection Deviations
5.3.10.1 If a plus or minus interval is not specified in the applicable T/M/S MRC or commercial
derivative aircraft task cards, one of the following deviations or a portion thereof may be applied:
a. Plus or minus three days may be applied to the interval of inspections, including preservation
inspections, that are performed in increments of calendar days. The next inspection is scheduled as
if no deviation had occurred. Deviations within the plus or minus three-day interval do not require
logbook entry.
b. Plus or minus 10 percent may be applied to the interval of inspections based on flight hours,
operating hours, cycles, or events. Intervals that create fractional deviations will be rounded to the
lower value. For example, 10 percent of a 125-hour inspection cycle equates to a 12.5 hours
fractional deviation that must be rounded down to 12 hours. The next inspection will be scheduled
as if no deviation had occurred. Deviations within the plus or minus 10 percent interval do not
require a logbook entry.
NOTE: To facilitate establishing a concurrent airframe and engine inspection cycle, new
engines or engines that have had a major engine inspection are authorized a plus or
minus 10 percent deviation in the scheduled inspection interval without requiring the
next engine inspection to be scheduled as though no deviation has occurred.
5-38
1 Feb 2021
5.3.10.2 Plus or minus 10 percent may be applied to the stated operating limitation of components,
unless prohibited by the applicable Periodic Maintenance Information Card (PMIC) or other
directive.
NOTES: 1. Plus 10 percent extension is not authorized for LCF limited items that have
accumulated their assigned cycles or operating hours, or for structural life limited
components (listed in NAVAIRINST 13120.1, NAVAIRINST 13130.1, and
applicable PMICs) that have reached their basic life limitations or would reach
those limitations during the extension.
2. Aircraft Guns Systems (AGS) and Aircraft Crew Served Weapons (ACSW) are
not authorized a plus or minus 10 percent deviation. AGS and ACSW are
authorized plus or minus 500 (+/- 500) round deviation from the specified
inspection interval. This deviation does not apply to weapon system or weapons
system components at end of service life.
5.3.10.3 Aircraft, UAS, and UAS Control Stations that exceed an inspection limit will be restricted
from flight operations until completion of the applicable inspection. Equipment that exceed an
inspection limit must be restricted from use until completion of the applicable inspection.
NOTE: Completion of a past-due inspection does not rebase the inspection and therefore does
not require a Miscellaneous History entry. The next inspection will be performed at
the next due date or time interval as if no deviation had occurred.
5.3.10.4 Inspections may be done earlier (rebased) than the applicable minus three days or 10
percent limit. When an inspection is done earlier than the low limit of the interval, the next
inspection is due based on the hour or cycle the inspection WO was initiated. Document the word
“REBASE” in the discrepancy and the system reason blocks of the WO and include the next
inspection due date or time. Inspection rebasing will be documented using the OMA NALCOMIS
"Inspections Near Due" queue. Using task properties in CM is not acceptable for documenting
inspection rebasing.
NOTE: Once an inspection is started for rebasing purposes, the aircraft or equipment is
restricted from use until the entire inspection is completed.
5.3.10.5 A one-time deviation in excess of the applicable high (+) limits specified in paragraphs
5.3.10.1 or 5.3.10.2 may be granted due to operational necessity or aircraft ferry schedule only.
Reporting custodians must submit deviation requests via naval message to the cognizant Wing,
COMFAIR, CVW, or Aviation Combat Element (ACE) commander, with the ACC T/M/S aircraft
class desk as an information addressee. The Wing, COMFAIR, CVW, or ACE commander may
grant up to one additional high (+) limit interval. Authorization for additional deviations must be
approved by the ACC. Deviation requests must contain sufficient detail on the conditions of the
deviation. Requests will clearly state the deviation being requested, the circumstances necessitating
the deviation, and the estimated completion of the deferred inspection. For example, “Request
deviation to go 10 flight hours beyond the 10 percent “plus” high limit for the 200 Hour engine
inspection on BUNO 161234. Deviation is required for ferry flight for short notice directive to
transfer aircraft. 200 hour inspection will be performed during acceptance inspection by the
5-39
1 Feb 2021
receiving squadron.” If applicable, the request must provide details of any logistics deficiency
related to the deviation, such as requisition number, National Item Identification Number (NIIN)
and part number, and status. If a deviation is authorized, a Miscellaneous/History (OPNAV
4790/25A) logbook entry is required. The next inspection is scheduled as if no deviation had
occurred. Activities operating OOMA will use the CM procedures to change tasking and update
CM ALS to record deviation authorization.
5.3.10.6 During combat, operational commanders are authorized to defer scheduled maintenance of
otherwise functional equipment. Combat operational commanders may also defer the replacement
of high time components, with the exception of LCF or structural life limited components (those
items whose disposition is "RETIRE" in the PMIC). Deferral of scheduled maintenance during
combat should not exceed one interval of that maintenance event; the ACC will be consulted before
authorizing further deferrals. Deferral authority during combat cannot be delegated below the CO
of the ship, Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) commander, or Air Wing commander, as
appropriate. ACC notification is not required except for deferral of replacement of high time
components, which will be reported to the ACC by priority message when components are at or
beyond high time. Notification will include the following information: T/M/S, BUNO, Component
Nomenclature, P/N, Replacement Due Time/Cycles, Current Time/Cycles, and applicable
requisition numbers and status. As soon as operations permit, deferred maintenance actions must be
brought current.

CHAPTER 6
Material Management and Control
6.1 Navy Supply System
6.1.1 Overview
6.1.1.1 The Navy Supply System is part of the Federal Supply System, and is responsible for
procuring, maintaining, and distributing equipment, repair parts, and consumable inventories
(except ordnance ammunition) to Department of the Navy (DON) consumers. The complexity of
installations and activities in the Navy Supply distribution network, such as Fleet Logistics
Centers and Defense Distribution Centers (DDC), are generally termed Designated Support
Points (DSP), where the physical work of receiving, storing, and issuing items takes place.
6.1.1.2 The Navy Supply System provides material in support of the operation and maintenance
of aeronautical equipment with the goal to have material located when and where it is needed by
the customer.
6.1.1.3 Commander Naval Supply Systems Command (commonly referred to as NAVSUP) is
responsible for material support of the NAMP. NAVSUP Weapons Systems Support (NAVSUP
WSS) is the primary organization responsible for naval aviation material support. NAVSUP
WSS manages spare parts for aircraft, engines, systems, components and accessories, safety
equipment, support equipment (SE), and aeronautical photographic and meteorological
equipment. Primary functions of NAVSUP WSS include:
a. Computes range and depth of aviation material requirements, identification and transfer of
items to be managed by other Inventory Control Points (ICP)
b. Develops budgets for and funds assigned aviation material requirements
c. Procures material directly from industry or other government agencies
d. Allocates NAVAIR procured material to stock points, distributes material to fill
replenishment stock requirements, and refers requisitions to stock points to meet end-use
requirements
e. Disposes of material in excess of system requirements, including SE, when authorized by
NAVAIR
f. Maintains aeronautical spares and spare parts catalogs, including obtaining National Stock
Numbers (NSN) from the Defense Logistics Service Center
g. Determines system asset rework requirements of repairable components processed by
naval, inter-service, or commercial rework facilities, equipment, e.g. Aviation Depot Level
Repairables (AVDLRs), Weapons Repairable Assemblies, Shop Repairable Assemblies,
containers funded with Operations and Maintenance Navy (OM&N), engine modules (funded
with APN6) processed by Naval, Inter-Service or Commercial rework facilities during the
Interim Supply Support period as well as Post Material Support and throughout sustainment.
6-1
1 Feb 2021
h. Develops, issues, and updates the Allowance Requirements Registers (ARR) and
allowance and load lists applicable to the NAMP
i. Provides primary material support for air launched weapons
j. Coordinates and conducts provisioning conferences
6.1.2 Funding Aviation Materials
6.1.2.1 The aviation wholesale supply system consists of expense and repairable items. Expense
items are consumable items or field level repairables procured by NAVSUP WSS or Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA) with Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) or DWCF dollars and
carried in the Navy inventory (for NWCF) account or DLA inventory (for DWCF) account.
Repairable items are aviation depot level repairables (AVDLR) which are carried under a dual
pricing system: standard (full) price (when there is no repairable carcass available) and net price
for replacement of a not-ready for issue (NRFI) asset.
6.1.2.2 The Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) is a revolving fund which finances the
purchase of new assets and the repair of common stock of supply items required for support and
operation of the Navy weapon systems. Its basic capital assets are provided from an
appropriation made by the Congress. The NWCF provides a means for managing, financing,
controlling, and accounting for material, supplies, and equipment. It serves as a means to
improve financial control of the consumption of material through budgeting, financing, and
accounting for the use of such material. The NWCF finances procurement of most of the Navy's
repairables and centrally managed consumable spares by purchasing consumable spares
from Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Government Services Agency (GSA), which are
then placed in Navy wholesale inventory and at retail stock locations. The capital to acquire
replacement stock is provided by reimbursement for all issues (sales) to the customer from the
Operations and Maintenance Navy (O&MN) funds in the hands of the customer. In this respect,
it differs from appropriation purchase account (APA) material that is issued without charge to the
customer's O&MN fund and is only statistically costed to the customer except under specific
circumstances. Customer orders are the basis for the NWCF budget and the solvency of the fund
is dependent on the receipt of a customer order and a subsequent sale of the material. When
NAVSUP WSS conducts procurement computations for stock fund items the procurement
quantity is based on historical recorded demands, Demand Transaction (DHAs) MILSTRIP
submission for non-supply source material use, and engineering estimates for new items.
6.1.2.3 NWCF components consumed by aviation units are paid for with aviation fleet
maintenance (AFM) operating funds. The NWCF in turn uses the payment to replenish the
material, either by financing a repair at a designated rework point (DRP), formerly a designated
overhaul point, or by purchasing a replacement item in the case of beyond economical repair or
loss situations. This differs from APA methods that separately fund the procurement and repair
of aviation inventories, where such funding may be inadequate to meet demand. Under NWCF,
the revolving fund receives payment when material is used and those funds will finance the
subsequent D-level repair or replenishment action. Therefore, full funding of the D-level
6-2
1 Feb 2021
component repair is a primary benefit of the Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR)
process. Additional NWCF benefits are:
a. Reduced back orders and customer wait time due to an increase of Ready for Issue (RFI)
components being available in the supply system.
b. Improved financial flexibility due to Defense Finance Accounting Service’s (DFAS)
ability to direct funds to either repair or procure as conditions warrant. This is not possible in an
APA environment where repair or procurement reprogramming actions require congressional
approval.
c. Improved aircraft readiness due to improved material support.
d. A financial incentive for O-level and I-level maintenance activities to maximize repair
permitted under the applicable COMNAVAIRSYSCOM aircraft maintenance plan.
6.1.2.4 Management of NWCF DLR items are under 7-series Cognizant (COG) Symbol and are
issued with a charge to the customers’ operating target (OPTAR) at the point of sale (when the
user is charged for DLR usage). One point of sale is at NWCF activities with RSupply Force
Level (Air Stations, CVN, MALS and MAGS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
activities (Air Station) when 7- series COG repairables are issued from stock and the retrograde
turn-in is determined to be beyond the capability of maintenance (BCM) at the I-level activities).
Another point of sale is when a 7-series COG repairable is issued for either stock or direct turn
over (DTO) from a NWCF inventory and the retrograde is not available for turn-in. This charge
will be either at a net or standard price, where:
a. The net price is charged for the RFI replacement of a NRFI asset that is BCM and
returned to the wholesale Supply System. The net price is less than the standard price and is
based on depot repair cost vice new procurement cost.
b. The standard price is charged for issues when the requisitioning activity does not make or
does not have a turn-in. The standard price is based on procurement cost for replacement of the
asset and is usually significantly greater than the net price, encouraging prompt turn-in of the
NRFI component.
6.1.3 Standard Supply References
6.1.3.1 Department of Defense and Federal Government References
a. DOD 4160.21-M is applicable to all DOD activities in the reporting, redistribution, and
use of excess, surplus, and foreign excess personal (as opposed to real) property; in the disposal

Identification Lists, Interchangeability and Substitutability, CAGE, Federal Supply Classification
Groups and Classes, Selected Federal Item Name Directory For Supply Cataloging Data, List of
Items Requiring Special Handling, Master Repairable Item List (MRIL), and Navy Item Control
Number to NIIN Cross Reference.
e. Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Codes provide the name, address, and
socioeconomic data on all manufacturers and non-manufacturers doing business with the federal
government. CAGE Codes can be located on the Web Federal Logistics Information System
(WebFLIS) database. Access to WebFLIS may be requested by logging on to the following
website:
https://www.dla.mil/HQ/InformationOperations/Offers/Products/LogisticsApplications/WebFLI
S.aspx. Three types of organizations are addressed in the H4/H8: government designed control
activities, manufacturers, and non-manufacturers. Each type of organization is uniquely
identified by a five position CAGE code or an NATO SUPPLY CODE FOR
MANUFACTURERS (NSCM) and categorized by an Organizational Entity type code. The
CAGE reflects codes assigned to organizations worldwide. WebFLIS contains the
organization’s or contractor’s name (if applicable), assigned CAGE code, and status code. In
some instances, the replacement code for the contractor’s assigned CAGE code(s) will consist of
an NSCM code assigned to an Organization Entity located in a North Atlantic Treaty
Organization member nation.
f. General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Catalog. This catalog lists
approximately 20,000 line items stocked in GSA supply distribution facilities. The items listed
in this catalog are assigned COG 9Q.
6.1.3.2 OPNAV References
a. OPNAVINST 4614.1 contains instructions for using the Uniform Material Movement and
Issue Priority System (UMMIPS), which assigns a Force Activity Designator (FAD) to all
activities for determining priorities for material support. UMMIPS and FAD procedures are
6-4
1 Feb 2021
implemented by Fleet Commander and Aircraft Controlling Custodian (ACC) or Type

Commander (TYCOM) instructions. The FAD is correlated with an urgency of need to
determine the priority assigned to requisitions. The priority assigned to material requisitions, not
the project code, determines the speed a requisition is filled by the Supply system. UMMIPS
abuse dilutes Supply System responsiveness in processing MILSTRIP requisitions.
b. OPNAVINST 4440.25 contains responsibilities and procedures for establishing,
maintaining, and modifying Consolidated Remain In Place Lists (CRIPL) for aviation material.
6.1.3.3 COMNAVAIRFOR and Marine Corps References

processing MILSTRIP and MILSTRAP documents. This booklet contains common definitions,
coding structures, and abbreviated code definitions used on a day-to-day basis.
b. NAVSUP Publication 485, NAVAL SUPPLY PROCEDURES, Volume I establishes
policies for the operation and management of afloat supply departments and shore-based units of
the fleet operating forces. It is designed to assist supply personnel in the proper performance of
their assigned duties and to aid them in understanding and performing their individual tasks
associated with afloat Supply operations. NAVSUP Publication 485 is designed for both
automated and non-automated entities. The procedures in NAVSUP Publication 485 are the
minimum essential acceptable processes for supply management and are mandatory unless
specifically stated as being optional. The CO or Supply Officer may prescribe additional
controls when circumstances dictate the requirement for more stringent controls. This
publication is also intended as a training manual for officers and enlisted personnel and as a
6-5

Additional emphasis is placed on supply support changes.
c. Maintenance philosophy enhancements.
6.1.4.1.3 The cornerstone of the BOSS III Program is the logistics engineering change proposals
(LECP). An LECP is a reliability or maintainability related ECP (officially, a cost reduction,
justification code "R" ECP) for a NAVSUP WSS managed item, sponsored and funded by
NAVSUP WSS, designed to reduce support costs while maintaining or improving safety and
performance. LECPs are funded by the NWCF if the ROI is two to one over 10 years. Savings
to this account are equal to repair and procurement avoidance. Savings to other accounts may
also be considered. Investment includes non-recurring engineering and logistics costs plus
equipment buys. The benefits evaluation is primarily financial rather than technical. A copy of
the ROI model can be provided from the BOSS III Program Office in hard copy or digital format
via e-mail. BOSS III LECPs are processed as follows:
a. Originator identifies LECP candidate by determining if:
(1) Reliability and maintainability is increased.
(2) Support costs are reduced.
(3) Safety and performance are maintained or improved.
b. Originator submits LECP candidate to the NAVSUP WSS BOSS III Program Office.
c. NAVSUP WSS gathers "Quick ROI" data to determine if the LECP should proceed.
d. NAVSUP WSS coordinates with originator and applicable Systems Command, ISEA, or
PMA to complete BOSS III Cost Analysis Data Requirements if the LECP proceeds.
e. NAVSUP WSS performs cost benefit analysis using ROI model.
f. NAVSUP WSS notifies originator via letter if LECP candidate does not meet ROI
requirements.
g. NAVSUP WSS sponsors the LECP through pre-board review process if LECP candidate
meets ROI requirements.

h. NAVSUP WSS conducts Investment Board for final approval.

i. NAVSUP WSS notifies originator of results.
j. Originator prepares and submits formal LECP to NAVSUP WSS if not already
accomplished.
k. NAVSUP WSS and applicable Systems Command, ISEA, or PMA coordinate LECP
through the implementation process.

6.1.4.2 Price Challenge Hotline
6.1.4.2.1 Contracting and procurement personnel rarely have the technical background
necessary to evaluate the intrinsic value of every item they purchase. Therefore, it is necessary
for personnel at the user level to be alert to those items that appear to be excessively priced. Any
employee of the DOD or other government agency, as well as employees of contractors
performing work for the DOD, can question the price of any DOD managed spare part or
consumable by submitting a price inquiry to the Price Challenge Hotline. The Price Challenge
Hotline Operations Manual serves as the implementing instruction. Types of price inquiries
include, but are not limited to, spare parts and consumables that:
a. Appear to be overpriced.
b. Are identical and would achieve a reduced price through combined demand by
consolidating their management under one NSN.
c. Would achieve a reduced price through a new commercial source of purchase.
d. Would achieve a reduced price as a result of a buy or make decision.
6.1.4.2.2 The preferred method of submitting price inquiries is via the website
(https://www.navsup.navy.mil). Price inquiries may be submitted via:
a. Telephone: (757) 443-2006 or DSN 646-2006.
b. Toll-free: 1-800-NAV-CHAL.
c. Facsimile: (757) 443-2019 or DSN 646-2019.
d. Mail: PRICE CHALLENGE HOTLINE (CODE 078), PO BOX 15129, NORFOLK VA
23511-0129.
e. Website: https://www.navsup.navy.mil/public/ops$pch.pch_form.
6-9
1 Feb 2021
6.1.4.2.3 When a price inquiry is received, the Price Challenge Hotline accumulates information
for use during the price verification or challenge investigation. The price inquiry is assigned a
case number and a Letter of Acknowledgment of Receipt is mailed to the challenger. If
information is determined to be insufficient, Price Challenge Hotline personnel will mail a letter
to the challenger requesting additional information. The challenger has 30 days to respond or the
case will be closed. The price verification or challenge investigation will begin after all
necessary information is collected. An average price challenge will take up to 90 days to
investigate; however, a more complex case may take longer. Upon completion, the Price
Challenge Hotline will provide the challenger with disposition of the case.
6.1.4.3 Shelf Life Management
The objective of shelf-life management is to maintain the required level of stock availability
while minimizing the risk of shelf life expiration prior to issue. The use of shelf life codes and
shelf life action codes are an integral part of the shelf life management program. They are
designed to reflect the assigned time period, at the end of which subject items are unfit for issue
or items are inspected or tested or restorative actions taken as specified by the shelf life action
code. An effective shelf life management program issues the stock that has the earliest
expiration date, and must be in an RFI condition per applicable storage standards. Each site must
develop a local shelf life program to ensure the proper identification and management of Type I
and Type II shelf life materiel in accordance with DoD 4140.27-M, Shelf-Life Item Management
Manual.
6.1.4.4 Warranty Program
6.1.4.4.1 Warranty Contracting
a. Each contract must contain warranties covering design and manufacturing requirements,
defects in materials and workmanship, and essential performance requirements.
b. Warranties will provide ample time, after delivery of the weapon system equipment, for
the government to assess achievement of specification requirements and ensure the equipment is
free from defects in materials and workmanship.
c. Program Manager Air (PMA) shall examine the value of warranties on major systems and
pursue such warranties when appropriate and cost-effective. When appropriate, the PMA shall
incorporate warranty requirements into major systems contracts per FAR 46.7.
d. If a warranty is cost effective and approved by the chief of the contracting office, the
contract must contain warranties covering design and manufacturing requirements, defects in
materials and workmanship, and essential performance requirements.
e. The warranty contract will include a requirement to identify the warranty administration
process.
6.1.4.4.2 Identifying warrantied items
6-10
1 Feb 2021
Aircraft and engine warranties cover the basic aircraft or engine, and the contractor furnished
equipment (CFE). Warranty markings and information are documented in the
Miscellaneous/History section of the aircraft logbook or engine AESR. AVDLR components
under warranty are identified with the warranty information marked on the component, as well as
on associated records. For components that are tracked in NTCSS Optimized NALCOMIS, the
CM ALS shall perform this function. Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) will have a
distinct and separate warranty and will have the warranty information marked on the equipment
and on any associated record cards or CM ALS. GFE will usually have a Work Unit Code
(WUC) of 51000 or higher.
6.1.4.4.3 Repairing warranted items
a. Warrantied items will be repaired at the maintenance level which would normally repair
such items as determined by the logistics support analysis process if they were not under
warranty.
b. AVDLR components under manufacturer’s warranty will be processed for repair in the
same manner as repair of AVDLR components no longer under manufacturer’s warranty.
c. Prioritization of warranty item repair will be the same as non-warrantied items.
Components under manufacturer’s warranty will be processed as Expeditious Repair (EXREP)
when the need arises in the same manner as failed components no longer under the
manufacturer’s warranty.
d. Repairs of warrantied items will be documented in the same manner as repairs to non-
warrantied items, with only minor changes to Maintenance Action Form (MAF)/Work Order
(WO) documentation procedures. For example, normal repair of warranted items will be
documented using special indicators to identify repair of a warranted item was accomplished.
Chapters 15 (O-level) and 16 (I-level) provide direction on documenting warranty repairs.
e. Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR) will be processed for warrantied items per
the procedures of 10.9.
f. Determination of any monetary or material re-imbursement to the Navy as the result of
contractual liaison between NAVAIR, NAVSUP WSS and other involved Navy Field Activities
and the equipment manufacturer are based on the Material Data Sheet (MDS)/3M data compiled
by NAVAIR. Determination is made after repairs have been completed. Payback to the Navy
will be per contractual procedures specified by COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department
or NAVSUP WSS. Such determination will be based on MDS data supplied by COMFRC FST
Technical Data Department and will be made after the fact, for example, after fleet maintenance
personnel have made repairs.
6.1.4.5 Consolidated Remain In Place List (CRIPL)
The NAVSUP WSS CRIPL provides for instances where removal of a failed aircraft component
is not feasible or advisable prior to receipt of the replacement component; therefore, qualifies as
a RIP item. The NAVSUP WSS CRIPL designation is based on ACC input with concurrence
6-11
1 Feb 2021
from COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. The responsibilities and procedures for establishing,

maintaining, and modifying the NAVSUP WSS CRIPL designation are in NAVSUPINST
4440.182 and OPNAVINST 4440.25.
6.1.4.6 Technical Directive (TD) Materials
6.1.4.6.1 General information
a. The TD system is the authorized means for directing accomplishment and documentation
of modification or one-time inspections of naval aviation aircraft and equipment. COMFRC FST
HQ Technical Data Department is responsible for the allocation, shipment, distribution, issue,
inventory accounting, and disposal of TD parts kits. These controls are applicable to all
modification kits procured by or for COMNAVAIRSYSCOM, including kits manufactured or
procured by field activities and those procured by NAVSUP WSS.
b. Materials for TD modifications are issued and accounted for based on the requirements
stated in the TD. TD kits and related government furnished equipment (GFE) are budgeted for
and issued as COMNAVAIRSYSCOM owned material for one-time installation in the specified
equipment during fleet maintenance overhaul, repair, or modification programs.
c. TD kits are issued for one-time installation and are not considered items of supply or
within the scope of the national stock number processes of the National Cataloging Program.
Instead, the kits are carried under a 6V cognizance (COG) code and are assigned a Kit
Identification Number (KIN) for the purposes of identification, requisitioning, and reporting.
Centralized records and stock balances are maintained by NAWC AD Operating Material and
Supplies Branch at the NAVSUP WSS on their Master Data Files through daily receipt and
processing of Transaction Item Reports received from the designated stock points.
d. TD kits are not considered items of supply. Kit Identification Numbers (KIN), in lieu of
NSNs, are assigned to TD kits and GFE by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM for the purposes of
identification, requisitioning, and reporting. TD kits are normally at wholesale stock points, but
may be positioned at any TIR activity to support local modification requirements with ACC
approval.
e. Selected KINs are designated as controlled items and are identified with Material
Condition Code (MCC) Z. The other KINs are designated non-controlled and are identified with
MCC M. Applicable requisition procedures are determined by MCC.
6.1.4.6.2 TD Kit Management
a. The COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Aircraft Program Manager for Logistics (APML) has
overall responsibility for management and implementation of TDs. The APML determines
logistic support requirements for the TD and the APML Acquisition Manager determines total
kit quantity requirements. When the incorporation of a TD is planned over a period of time,
consideration will be given to multi-year procurement or manufacture of kits. Responsibilities:
6-12
1 Feb 2021
(1) The APML will task kit manufacturers to submit TD Kit Shipment Reports (NAVAIR
13053/1) for each TD. The cognizant contract administration service office or the assigned FRC
manufacturing the kits will distribute TD Kit Shipment Reports. The first issue of the TD Kit
Shipment Report will indicate the production schedule for the kit. Kit manufacturers must
provide the TD Kit Shipment Report (NAVAIR 13053/1) per the systematic, uniform, and
comprehensive reporting system directed in DID-MGMT-80771A.
(2) NAWC AC Operating Material and Supplies Branch is responsible for inventory
management of TD kits and for the control of TD kit allocation, distribution, and redistribution.
Kits will be scheduled for delivery at a rate which will support the incorporation schedule
specified in the compliance paragraph of the TD and the production delivery schedule of the
modified article. Upon receipt of the first TD Kit Shipment Report and prior to the first
shipment of kits, the Kit Manager will develop a distribution and allocation schedule based on kit
requests and advise the appropriate contract administration service office or FRC. This
allocation is designed to support all requirements for basic equipment, spares, SE, and training
devices. When designating TD kit Wholesale Stock Points (WSP), direct shipments will be
considered for those TDs where depot field teams or contractor modification teams are to be
employed, where installed equipment at fixed facilities will be modified, or where small numbers
of modifications such as developmental or limited production are involved.
(3) The Kit Manager is responsible for the distribution of kits between WSPs in a manner
that will provide the best support for operating units, rework schedules, and special modification
programs. Direct distribution to operating units other than designated WSP is authorized when
directed by the Kit Manager based on the trade-off between economic advantages, possible
dilution of management control, and operational expediency. The Kit Manager may direct
redistribution of kits when advised by a WSP of a requirement for kits that are not available
locally or forthcoming from future deliveries under the basic allocation. The Kit Manager will
direct reallocating kits from WSPs. If the requirement cannot be supported by reallocation, the
Kit Manager will determine the additional quantities of kits required and submit the requirement
to COMFRC Operating Material and Supplies Branch for action.
(4) When a TD reaches its Target Completion Date (TCD), the Kit Manager will
coordinate with COMFRC Operating Material and Supplies Branch to determine if the
modification has been incorporated in all applicable aircraft, components, and equipment and
that all required logistics support actions have been accomplished.
b. TD kits will contain all material required to accomplish the modification in one affected
article (or part of the modification if the TD is being issued in parts) so that a minimum of
requisitioning or local fabrication is required except as authorized by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
Conditions:
(1) Each kit will contain one copy of the kit’s parts listing. A copy of the TD may be
included but is not mandatory.
6-13
1 Feb 2021
(2) Classified, hazardous, or shelf life materials requiring special handling will not be
part of a kit. These materials will be identified in the TD as "Other Materials Required." This
requirement is not mandatory for those quantities of kits which will be retained by the kit
manufacturer for installation during established modification programs.
(3) TD kits will, to the extent that is practical, not contain shelf life items or explosive,
flammable, or other hazardous material which require extraordinary packaging and handling
techniques. Local stock items or items to be fabricated from local stock material may also be
excluded when specifically authorized by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. Other items may be
excluded from kits when authorized by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM for reasons of cost or
impracticability.
c. Wholesale Stock Point are responsible for the receipt, storage, issue, and accounting
functions for kits. Kits may be stocked at any Supply point that submits transaction item reports
to NAVSUP WSS as arranged by COMFRC Operating Material and Supplies Branch.
d. ACCs will use TD Kit Shipment Report data to control the distribution of TD kits;
schedule the modification of aircraft, aeronautical weapons, weapon systems, spare components,
and related equipment; and for phasing provisioning actions to support the modified
configuration.
6.1.4.6.3 TD Kit Requisitioning Procedures
a. Upon receipt of a TD that requires a kit, the activity that will incorporate the TD will
submit a requisition to the supporting Supply point per the TD requisition instructions. Special
requisitioning procedures have been established with the local Supply point to issue controlled
kits by furnishing exception data. COMFRC Operating Material and Supplies Branch will
accept MILSTRIP requisitions for kits sent directly to the kit manager via e-mail, letter,
message, or facsimile.
b. To preclude kit deficits, requisitioning activities must review requirements prior to
submitting requisitions to ensure:
(1) The modification is applicable to the aircraft, component, or equipment for which the
kit is being requisitioned.
(2) The using activity has the level of capability required to incorporate the kit consistent
with the compliance requirements specified by the applicable TD.
(3) The kit requested has not been requisitioned previously and received for the affected
aircraft, component, or equipment.
(4) The kit has not been previously reported as incorporated.
NOTE: A request for a replacement kit will be forwarded to the respective PMA if a kit
has been previously reported as incorporated, but the affected item does not have
the TD.
6-14
1 Feb 2021
c. TD kits required by commercial rework contractors are normally positioned in a

Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) bond room at the contractor's site. When kits are not
available to support commercial rework programs, the cognizant Contract Administration
Services Office must submit a MILSTRIP requisition to COMFRC Operating Material and
Supplies Branch.
6.1.5 Training
6.1.5.1 In-service training on supply management is accomplished via on-the-job training (OJT)
and Joint Aviation Supply and Maintenance Material Management (JASMMM) CNATTU
formal classroom training. JASSMM is a 2-week course of instruction taught at the Navy
Supply Corps School, Newport, Rhode Island with the goal of developing and reinforcing the
aviation support related supervisory, technical, and management skills. This course may be
attended by Navy, Marine Corps, and civilian personnel, active duty and reserve officer (W1 and
above) and enlisted (E6 to E9), Supply, Maintenance, and Engineering personnel, and aviation
squadron prospective COs and Executive Officers (XO).
6.1.5.2 Officers and enlisted personnel assigned to an Aviation Support Department/Division
(ASD) ashore, S-6 Division afloat, directly responsible for supervising Component Control
Section or Repairables Management Division (RMD) must attend the IMA Component Control
Section (CCS) Procedures course (C-555-0042).
6.2 Material Allowancing
6.2.1 Concept
6.2.1.1 Efficient maintenance requires an adequate range and depth of material and equipment
on hand at the maintenance site. Provisioning is the process of determining the range and
quantity of items, such as spares and repair parts, special tools, test equipment, and SE required
to support and maintain an end item of material for an initial period of service. Provisioning
includes the identification of items of supply, establishment of data for cataloging, technical
manual and allowance table preparation, and preparation of instructions to ensure delivery of
necessary support items with related end articles. A basic input to the provisioning process is the
maintenance plan, which identifies the repairable items and delineates their levels of removal and
repair.
6.2.1.2 One of the significant considerations in determining the size of the overall inventory and
the allowancing at individual supply sites for a given repairable component is the length of time
from when a failed component is removed from use until it is restored to serviceable condition
and made available for use again. The average of this period or interval is defined as turn around
time (TAT). The objective is to keep this TAT as short as practicable. The factors influencing
this objective are:
a. The impact on readiness of not being responsive to the needs of the operating forces, since
spares are procured only in quantities sufficient to support requirements or fill the pipeline
6-15
1 Feb 2021
during TAT. Pipeline and repair cycle requirements are part of the total spares requirements for
procurement.
b. Inventory investment costs for spares which increase to compensate for long TAT.
c. Additional maintenance costs to support the increased number of spares.
6.2.2 Operational Support Inventory (OSI)
6.2.2.1 Concept
Aviation systems are supported under the Operational Support Inventory (OSI) concept.
NAVSUP WSS retail operation division in collaboration with the cognizant ACC establishes
fixed allowances for DLR and 1RD Field Level Repairable (FLR) items authorized for stock at
each operating site, and are considered part of the site’s OSI. Entities may not exceed NAVSUP
WSS fixed allowances without prior approval. Fixed allowances are based on factors such as
TAT, failure rate, repair capability, mission essentiality, weapons system planning document
(WSPD), flying hours, and other data necessary to ensure operational commitments will be met.
Consumable items are also listed in the SHORCAL or AVCAL and include material controlled
by NAVSUP WSS, DLA, GSA, and other service managers. NAVSUP WSS controlled material
allowances are adjusted quarterly by NAVSUP WSS for TIR activities. NAVSUPWSSINST
4441.15 and NAVSUPWSSINST 4441.16 provide direction on establishing ship (AVCAL) and
shore (SHORCAL) material allowances.
6.2.2.2 Establishing OSI
OSI fixed allowances are established through negotiations between operating sites, the ACC, and
NAVSUPWSS. Conditions:
a. Current 3M data is used in computing the fixed allowance. TAT and monthly usage
determine repairable item fixed allowances. Repairable managers will monitor TAT
performance and liaison with IMAs when excessive TAT begins to impact availability. When
computing allowance requirements, each TAT element will be computed using following
timeframes:
(1) Removal to IMA - 1 day.
(2) Scheduling time - 3 days.
(3) AWP time - 20 days.
(4) Actual repair time - 8 days.
NOTE: Total average TAT will be limited to a maximum of 20 days for each NIIN in each
case. Constraints will be applied to each element before totaling.
b. The computed fixed allowance will be provided to each ACC and operating site in a
SHORCAL or AVCAL.
6-16
1 Feb 2021
c. Between periodic revisions of the allowance authorization document, changes to the fixed
allowance may be requested by the item manager, ACC, or operating site. Submit fixed
allowance changes to the inventory control point (ICP) using an allowance change request per
NAVSUPWSSINST 4441.15 and NAVSUP Pub 488.
d. Activity operational support inventory (OSI) or fixed allowance repairables are subject to
NAVSUP WSS redistribution (with concurrence from the TYCOM) only to fill an issue Priority
Designator 1, Priority Group 1, NMCS, or PMCS requisition. Otherwise, OSI or fixed
allowance repairables are protected from NAVSUP WSS redistribution.
e. Repairable allowance computations after initial outfitting, or under OSI or fixed
allowance procedures, are based on activity reported data. This database used for allowance
computation will be for the last 12 months except for a new system or aircraft supported less
than 1 year. New systems and aircraft will be supported from the available database or
Allowance Requirements Register (ARR).
f. The OSI or fixed allowance quantity of any repairable item must be determined by taking
the total repairs during the historical time frame used, plus associated TAT constraints as
applicable, following item manager directives and cross-indexing to the allowance quantity.
Compute a BCM level based on the previous 12-month BCM history. For new equipment, the
base may be reduced to a minimum 3-month history. The authorized BCM level is the average
number of BCMs occurring during a 30-day period for continental United States activities, a 60-
day period for overseas shore activities, and a 90-day period for ships and MAGs. The average
monthly BCMs registered for the repairable will be summed with the RFI items average TAT
allowance to obtain total OSI or fixed allowance. If the sum exceeds the existing fixed
allowance quantity, submit an Allowance Change Request - Fixed via the NAVSUP Allowance
Change Request website https://www.navsup.navy.mil/public/navsup/gateways/ (Refer to
NAVSUP P-485 para 2105 for in depth ACR procedure) for the deficiency.
g. The total OSI or fixed allowance quantity will be carried on the Supply Officer's records
in Purpose Code W or L. All or any part of this quantity may be located in the LRCA storage
unit. Addition or deletion of assets from the LRCA storage unit, within the range of the site
fixed allowance, is TYCOM criteria.
h. The fixed allowance is regarded as the maximum level to be maintained.
(1) All assets of each item or family, regardless of condition, location, or status (except
assets installed in aircraft and SE and those BCM off station) are counted towards the fixed
allowance. This includes assets in DIFM, on an exchange basis with the exception of in-use
assets, which are undergoing EXREP, assets sub-custody to an aviation unit, and those due in
from the Supply System or contract.
(2) Strict one-for-one exchange discipline between the O-level, I-level, and Supply
Department must be maintained.
6-17
1 Feb 2021
(3) No off-station requisitioning will occur prior to BCM action, excluding the CRIPL
and anticipated NMCS items.
(4) All OSI assets are carried in Purpose Codes W and L on the Supply Officer’s records.
Non-TIR activities will not hold any repairables in excess of TIRs. TIRs are routinely submitted
to the Afloat/MALS Logistics Liaison Office (AMLLO).
(5) Storage of fixed allowance assets is authorized at any location within an operating
site, while meeting the requirement in NAVSUP P-485 and approved by TYCOM N41.
6.2.2.3 Initial OSI Outfitting
Initial allowance for a newly established Navy or Marine Corps aviation unit is issued by an
outfitting directive from the ACC. The ACC will also issue outfitting directives for units making
a change of permanent duty station or as a result of a change in T/M/S or numbers of aircraft or
equipment. OPNAVINST 4441.12 governs aeronautical material outfitting and supply support
of the operating forces. Initially, and every 2 years thereafter, NAVSUP WSS provides air
station Supply departments with preliminary allowance documents. After the air stations review
the documents, an allowance negotiation conference is held at NAVSUP WSS to finalize the
activity's OSI allowances. Air stations will establish their allowance quantity on the stock record
and provide initial issue requisitions (Advice Code 5D) directly to NAVSUP WSS for any
increase to the allowance or new items to be carried as a result of the SHORCAL review. These
initial issue requisitions will have a fund code of QZ for 7 series COG or Y6 for 0 series COG
APA DLRs. NAVSUP WSS will validate these Advice Code 5D 7 series COG requisitions
against the aviation retail management file and reject those that exceed the established allowance
increase.
6.2.2.4 AVCAL Reviews
As a minimum, ship AVCALs will be reviewed and revised incident to major ship overhauls and
prior to each carrier deployment. Marine Air Group (MAG) AVCALs will be reviewed and
revised periodically as determined by COMNAVAIRFOR, COMMARFORCOM, and
COMMARFORPAC, but not more than every 36 months. After the fleet unit review, an
AVCAL Quality Review Conference is held at NAVSUP WSS to negotiate the activity's OSI
allowances. NAVSUP WSS will provide revised AVCAL allowances to the site via electronic
text file for afloat units and update Navy ERP for ashore units no later than 270 days prior to
deployment for CVNs. The site will then load the new allowances to their stock records, and
submit initial issue requisitions (Advice Code 5D) directly to NAVSUP WSS for any increase to
allowance or new items to be carried as a result of AVCAL review. These initial issue
requisitions will have a fund code of QZ for 7 series COG or Y6 for 0 series COG APA DLRs.
NAVSUP WSS will validate these Advice Code 5D 7 series COG requisitions against the
aviation retail management file and reject those that exceed the established allowance increase.
6-18
1 Feb 2021
6.2.3 Inventory Accounting

The Force Inventory Management Analysis Reporting System (FIMARS) shows visibility of all
fixed allowance repairables at a site. All OSI fix allowance assets are carried in Purpose Code W
or L on the Supply Officer's records.
6.2.4 Inventory Funding
6.2.4.1 At Navy and Marine Corps shore activities, Shore Consolidated Allowance List
(SHORCAL) consumer level retail W and L Purpose Code, 7 series and 0 series COG
inventories are under end-use NWCF funding (Stores Account 51000). MAGs, CVNs, and
LHAs have transitioned in conjunction with RSupply implementation to this process. Only those
assets within authorized allowances (SHORCAL, AVCAL, or packups) were decapitalized.
6.2.4.2 At Depot FRCs, consumable material and supplies required for operation are procured
with Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) money and accounted for as NWCF inventory assets
until issued to a customer job order or an expense account. Conditions:
a. The NWCF retail store inventory consumable items are stocked and repetitively ordered
on the basis of historical usage.
b. Direct material inventory items are those ordered for a specific customer job order and in
the quantities required for scheduled work based on a bill of material. Direct material inventory
items include both consumable and APA type material.
c. AVDLRs and APA material are not authorized to be stocked in the NWCF retail store
inventories. When required for a specific job, AVDLR material is requisitioned from the local
DSP under the dual accounting system stated above.
6.3 Material Reporting
6.3.1 Concept
Material reporting is a procedure where all supply action documents in support of maintenance
are entered and merged with the Material Reporting history file maintained by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Enterprise Services Division. Material Reporting information is
collected via the reporting command's end of the month, and is summarized and reported to
higher levels of management by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Enterprise Services Division.
Material usage data allows management to:
a. Relate material issues and turn-ins to weapon systems and components by activity and
maintenance level.
b. Appraise higher commands of material expenditures in support of maintenance.
c. Determine weapon systems costs at the O-level and I-levels of maintenance.
6-19
1 Feb 2021
d. Determine usage, failure, and turnaround time (TAT) rates for OSI or fixed allowance
development and allowance change requests.
6.3.2 Local Material Reports
Local Material Reports (MR-1-1 and MR-1-2) are provided for repairables management and
fixed allowance determination under OSI procedures. These reports merge supply and
maintenance data elements to determine usage and TAT of repairables. The MR-1-1 and MR-1-
2 are identical reports except for the sequence in which they are produced and the totals. Each
report has two parts: Part I is a detailed list and Part II is a summarization of the detailed list.
Data for the current 6 months is used for production of these reports. The requesting activity can
select the report period desired. The requested report must be within the current 6 months and
specify increments of monthly accounting periods. The requesting activity may select either Part
I or Part II independently or both. Part I detail lines will represent a single material issue
(RECTYP 60) (DD 1348) which has a corresponding (JCN match) 31/32 MAF transaction/(63)
component turn-in card MAF. If a material issue resides in the database without a matching
31/32 MAF transaction or RECTYP 63 transaction, it will not be printed until it has remained in
the database for 6 months. A 31/32 MAF RECTYP 63 transaction residing in the database
without a matching material issue will never be printed. The TAT printed in the repair cycle data
section of these reports contain the constraints as described in NAVSUPWSSINST 4441.15, and
NAVSUPWSSINST 4441.16. Actual results are printed for each repair cycle data element but
the constrained results will be accumulated within the computer and applied to the TAT. Data
sources for these reports will be material issue documents (RECTYP 60) which have Material
Condition Codes (MCCs) of D, E, G, H, Q, or X, and a COG of 1R, 4Z, 6K, 6R, 7E, 7G, 7R, 7Z,
or with a blank MCC and COGs of 9F, 9I, 9J, or 9V. These RECTYP 60 records are matched to
the corresponding MAF, with Transaction Code of 31/32/RECTYP 63 transaction.
6.3.3 Expense Item Management Reports
Expense item management reports (MR-2-1, MR-2-2, and MR-2-3) are provided for reviewing
consumable (expense) item maintenance usage, thus permitting set stock levels of these items
under OSI procedures. The reports display frequency and demand data on all maintenance and
related expense items. The three reports are the same except for sequence differences. Data
source will be RECTYP 60, RECTYP 64, RECTYP 65, and RECTYP 67. Only those records
where the first position of the COG code is 0, 1, 3, 5, or 9 (except 1R when MCC=D), will
qualify for these reports. Data up to the current 6 months is used when producing these reports.
The SUPORG code is the basis of organization selection. The requesting activity can select the
report period desired. The requested report must be within the current 6 months and must be
specified in increments of monthly accounting periods.
6.3.4 Material Surveys
Material surveys are required when Navy property and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
material, including IMRL equipment/SE, in Navy custody is lost, damaged, or destroyed. The
Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss (DD 200) will be used in connection with
6-20
1 Feb 2021
survey procedures. Detailed procedures for proper accountability for government property lost,
damaged, or destroyed are contained in NAVSUP Publication 1, Vol II, and NAVSUP
Publication 485. Optimized OMA (OOMA) NALCOMIS activities with NAVAIR funded
items, including IMRL equipment/SE that is lost, damaged, or destroyed, must send a copy of
approved survey to COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department. The surveying activity must
annotate in the CM ALS that the component is missing, stricken, or surveyed, change the CM
indicator to BCM, and make remarks in the miscellaneous record of the CM ALS.
6.3.5 General Equipment (GE)
6.3.5.1 GE is tangible personal property that is functionally complete for its intended purpose,
durable, and nonexpendable. GE typically has an expected service life of 2 years or more; is not
intended for sale; does not ordinarily lose its identity or become a component part of another
article when put into use; and has been acquired or constructed with the intention of being used.
6.3.5.2 Personal property is all property (systems and equipment, materials, and supplies) except
real property (land and improvements to facilities), and records of the Federal Government.
Personal Property includes (but is not limited to); Military Platforms (e.g. Ships Aircraft, and
Tanks), Weapons (including small arms and light weapons), Weapon Systems, support
equipment, office equipment, industrial plant equipment, vehicles, material handling equipment,
automated data processing equipment or property acquired through capital or operating leases.
6.3.5.3 GE having a security code identifying the GE as controlled, classified or sensitive, must
be recorded in Defense Property Accounting System (DPAS).
6.3.5.4 All GE purchased, or otherwise obtained, that has a unit acquisition cost less than the
capitalization threshold identified in SECNAV M-5200.45, must be recorded in DPAS.
6.4 Financial Management
6.4.1. Introduction
Management at the DOD level requires the measurement of performance against plans for given
programs and functions. Therefore, resources (funds) are identified, budgeted, and accounted for
in terms of Six Year Defense Plan and budget activities.
6.4.2 Budgeting
Operating resources identified by subhead are allocated by CNO to the major claimants, for
example, the Commander U.S. Fleet Forces Command. The Commander U.S. Fleet Forces
Command issues the expense limitations, by subhead, to themselves for fleet level functions and
to ACCs/TYCOMs. Each ACC/TYCOM issues an operating budget to each assigned unit to
finance the operations, maintenance, administrative, and TAD travel requirements, and issues an
operating budget to fund the operations, administration and TAD requirements of their own staff.
Type and fleet commanders also issue operating budgets to themselves as responsibility centers
6-21
1 Feb 2021
for centrally managed programs, such as ship overhaul, the expenses of their own staffs, and
expenses of their ships, squadrons, and units.
6.4.3 Aviation Material Costs
6.4.3.1 Material Cost. Aviation material costs are costs resulting from maintenance performed
on, or in support of aircraft. Aviation material costs are reported against the aircraft units which
used the service. ACCs are responsible for apportioning aviation material costs. O-level, I-level,
and D-level costs are reported separately.
6.4.3.2 Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR). Aviation material costs include costs for
repair or replacement Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR), cost of materials purchased
with Flight Operations Funds (OFC-01), and costs of material purchased with Aviation Fleet
Maintenance (AFM) funds.
a. Consumable material is material which after issue from stock, is consumed in use, or
while having continued life, becomes incorporated in other property thus losing its identity when
it is dropped from property accountability. Consumable items under the centralized management
of the DLA or the GSA are procured with Navy stock funds and carried in the Navy stock
account.
b. Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR) are financed by the Navy Working Capital
Fund (NWCF). Under the NWCF process, the end user finances the D-level repair and
procurement of 7R COG repairables through the local replenishment of these repairables
determined to be non-ready for use (NRFU) and Beyond Capability of Maintenance (BCM) at
the I-level, and repairables that are lost or missing. Squadrons and Intermediate Maintenance
Activities (IMA) initiate requisitions for AVDLRs, and the T/M/S aircraft maintenance plan
dictates through Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SM&R) codes whether repairable
materials can be repaired at the I-level or must be sent direct to the Depot Repair Point (DRP).
AVDLRs repaired at the I-level result in a charge for the actual material costs of the repair.
AVDLRs that are BCM at the I-level result in a set NWCF charge. AVDLRs that are missing or
loss result in a NWCF for full replacement. The Intermediate Maintenance Cost is the gross
adjusted obligations used by the IMA to perform I-level maintenance. Additional information on
AVDLR charges:
(1) The net price is charged for the RFI replacement of a NRFI asset that is BCM and
returned to the wholesale supply system. The net price is less than the standard price and is based
on depot repair cost vice new procurement cost.
(2) The standard price is charged for issues when the requisitioning activity does not make
a turn-in. The standard price is based on procurement cost for replacement of the asset and is
usually significantly greater than the net price, encouraging prompt turn-in of the NRFI
component.
(3) Turn-in and repair of a NRFI carcass at the I-level is a closed loop process, with all
actions accomplished within the IMA and supporting supply activity. When a NRFI component
6-22
1 Feb 2021
cannot be repaired locally and must be turned in for repair at a D-level repair facility CTRs serve
as the basis to monitor user turn-in of exchange carcasses. Transactions recorded on CTRs
determine whether the ICP will generate follow-up actions or additional billing to user activities
for outstanding carcass turn-ins. When a CTR is not closed out within a specified timeframe, the
ICP initiates a carcass tracking action to request status from the delinquent turn-in from the
activity. Afloat and ashore user activities handling NWCF NRFI condition material are
responsible for posting proof of shipment and other carcass tracking functions via electronic
retrograde management system (eRMS) program. Activities must generate carcass tracking
reports available to review and reconcile any pending carcass charges, investigations and actual
bills. Perform continuous monitoring and tracking on regular basis to avoid additional carcass
billing and assure outcome to close tracking record.
NOTE: Complete procedures for DLR requisitioning, turn-in, and carcass tracking are in
NAVSUP Publication 485 and COMNAVAIRFORINST 4440.2.
c. Flight Operations Funds (OFC-01) will be used for:
(1) Aviation fuels consumed in flight operations.
(2) Initial and replacement issues of authorized items of flight clothing and flight
operational equipment for pilots and flight crews.
(3) Consumable office supplies for aviation squadrons.

6.4.3.3 Depot Level Local Procurement (Open Purchase)
a. Navy stock fund allotments are granted by NAVSUP WSS for the specific purpose of
permitting local procurement for emergency requirements and limited stocks of centrally
managed 1R cognizance material to satisfy priority 1 through 8 or NMCS and PMCS
requirements.
b. ICPs have approval authority for the local purchase of centralized items (items for which
the cognizant inventory manager has prescribed central procurement and management) from
commercial sources in a quantity sufficient to satisfy emergency requirements and sustain
normal operations during the period of an emergency without the need for repetitive
procurements, providing all the following conditions exist:
6-25
1 Feb 2021
(1) The items or a suitable substitute cannot be obtained from normal Supply sources in
time to satisfy the emergency requirement.
(2) The purchase will not exceed purchase authority limitations established by field
purchasing or other governing procurement regulations.
(3) Adequate quality control standards and test requirements can be applied locally for
items involving health, safety, or operational effectiveness.
c. Stock points are not authorized to purchase centralized items locally without the specific
approval of the cognizant inventory manager except under the conditions stated in paragraph
6.4.3.3.a. When required material is not available in the Supply System, stock points may
request local purchase authority from the cognizant inventory manager.
d. Part numbered item requirements may be satisfied by local manufacture, fabrication,
assembly, or procurement.
e. When the Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) is used to finance local procurement,
ASN (FM&C) instructions on obligations for material to be delivered from stock fund
inventories and policy for financing expense type material must be followed.
(1) Local procurement of 1R COG material for COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Sustainment
Group, Mission Systems Group commercial rework contracts will be made against the NWCF
allotment and reimbursed at the time of issue with COMNAVAIRSYSCOM furnished funds.
On stock numbered material which is obtained through manufacturing or open purchase, the
demand on the Supply System must be recorded.
(2) Depot FRC requirements for local purchase of 1R cog items will be submitted to the
local supply organization. All such requirements will be financed by the NWCF (BP34)
allotment granted by NAVSUP WSS to the supply organization with subsequent sales to the
Navy Industrial Fund (NWCF). Requirements for local purchase of nonstandard or non-part
numbered items will be financed by direct citation of the NWCF.
6.4.4 Financial Accounting
6.4.4.1 Responsibility
Auditable records will be maintained by all activities with an operating budget, referred to as an
Operating Target (OPTAR). Records will show the transaction costs incurred and the available
balance of the operating budget, including such values for each OPTAR granted. Each ship,
aviation squadron, or command issued an OPTAR is responsible for the efficient and effective
use, including accurate and timely accounting and reporting per procedures outlined here.
Prompt action will be taken to research and validate transactions reported by the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) operating location, Pacific or Atlantic, relative to the
status of each OPTAR held by the command.
6-26
1 Feb 2021
6.4.4.2 Financial Records, Logs, and Files

a. Each ship, aviation squadron, and command will establish a Requisition/OPTAR Log
(NAVCOMPT 2155) to record OPTAR grants and the value of transactions authorized to be
incurred as chargeable to the ACC operating budget. A separate Requisition/OPTAR Log will
be established for each OPTAR received. AVCAL holders will maintain an AVCAL
Requisition/OPTAR Log (NAVCOMPT 2206) for the AVCAL account. When consolidated
accounting is authorized, the command will establish a Requisition/OPTAR Log for each ship,
aviation squadron, or unit concerned. The Requisition/OPTAR Log parallels and provides a
check on the official accounting records maintained at applicable DFAS operating locations.
OPTAR grants will be entered on the Requisition/OPTAR Log and reduced by the value of
chargeable requisitions (unfilled orders). All chargeable requisitions and purchase orders must
be recorded in the log. All non-chargeable, for example, appropriation purchases account
requisitions will also be entered, but these documents have no effect on the OPTAR balance.
Additionally, differences reported by the DFAS on the Summary Filled Order/Expenditure
Difference Listing (SFOEDL) must be entered in the log and will increase or decrease the
OPTAR balance. A mechanized Requisition/OPTAR Log with data files maintained per data
processing procedures approved by the ACC (and ASN (FM&C) (if applicable)) will satisfy the
requirements of the Requisition/OPTAR Log.
b. Personnel assigned responsibility for maintaining the Requisition/OPTAR Log must
attend Financial Management for Naval Aviation Operation Target Accounting (OPTAR) course
(Course C-555-0018) within 6 months of assuming this position.
NOTE: For Marine Corps activities, this is a combined function performed by the
Operations Management Division.
c. Holding files will be established by fiscal year for each OPTAR received to hold the
appropriate accounting documents and listings pending transmittal to applicable DFAS operating
locations. Holding files contents are defined as follows:
File 1. Unfilled Order Chargeable Documents For Transmittal. This file contains the
accounting copy DD 1348 green copy, DD 1348M, and DD 1149. Underway replenishment
requisitions and all debit adjustment documents which increase the estimated cost chargeable
based on an advance price change will be included. Requisitions for appropriate purchase
account (APA) items or other non-chargeable material will not be placed in this file. All
documents will be priced, extended, and entered in the estimated cost chargeable section of the
Requisition/OPTAR Log for the period involved, with a corresponding decrease to the OPTAR
balance.
File 2. Unfilled Order Cancellation Documents/Lists for Transmittal. This file contains
lists of confirmed cancellations or copies of individual cancellation documents, advance
downward price adjustments, and copies or lists of administrative cancellations of above
threshold unfilled orders that decrease the estimated cost chargeable (credit adjustment). All
documents will be priced, extended, and entered in the estimated cost chargeable section of the
6-27
1 Feb 2021
Requisition/OPTAR Log for the period involved, with a corresponding increase to the OPTAR
balance.
6.4.4.3 Financial Transmittals and Reports
Commands will submit the following financial transmittals and reports:
a. OPTAR Document Transmittal Report (NAVCOMPT 2156). Unfilled orders,
cancellation documents, processed listings (or detail cards) and other transactions documents
which affect the status of the OPTAR will be transmitted to applicable DFAS operating locations
on an accurate and timely basis to permit the up-to-date maintenance of the official accounting
records of the ACC or other operating budget holders (Figure 6-1). On the 15th and last day of
each month, the documents in holding files 1 and 2 for the current fiscal year, will be removed
for transmittal with the OPTAR Document Transmittal Report (NAVCOMPT 2156) to the
applicable DFAS operating locations. If no transactions have taken place since the last
transmittal, a transmittal will not be made for such period or periods.
b. Budget and OPTAR Report (NAVCOMPT 2157). Except when the ship or unit is in the
immediate vicinity of a DFAS operating locations or during periods of message minimize, a
message report of Budget and OPTAR data will be submitted in lieu of the Budget and OPTAR
Report (NAVCOMPT 2157). The message report will be submitted to applicable DFAS
operating locations, with a copy to the ACC on the first work day of the month following the end
of the month being reported. Current and prior year OPTAR reports and any other related
information prescribed by the ACC will be included. The Requisition/OPTAR Log is the
principle source of data required in the preparation of the Budget and OPTAR Report. Prior to
the preparation of the Budget and OPTAR Report, the Requisition/OPTAR Log will be balanced.
c. DFAS Transaction Listings:
(1) Monthly, an N-SABRS Report is sent to each OPTAR Holder listing the itemized
differences between unfilled orders submitted by the OPTAR Holder and expenditures submitted
by the issuing activities.
(2) Overview. Monthly the TYCOM produces two listings for each activity, Obligation
Validation Review (OVR) Difference Listing (DL) and Un-Matched Disbursements (UMD).
(a) OVR. This listing contains all unfilled orders (obligations) held in N-SABRS that
have not matched with related expenditure documents and have not been cancelled. It also lists
unfilled orders that are partially complete; some of the requisitioned material or service has been
received and an expenditure processed, the outstanding quantity and partial dollar value will
appear on the list.
NOTE: An OVR recoupment is identified as a UOL recoupment in R-Supply.
(b) DL. This listing contains DTO documents that have not cleared the matching
cycle at DFAS Operating Locations (OPLOC). As part of the accounting process, TYCOM
6-28
1 Feb 2021
personnel match unfilled order documents transmitted by the OPTAR Holder with corresponding
expenditure documents received from supply activities. The DL contains the results of the
reconciliation performed by TYCOM personnel since distribution of the last DL to the activity
(OPTAR Holder). These listings are forwarded to the OPTAR holder for review and processing.
The activity must annotate action taken adjacent to each record. The system generated
Challenge Response Page detailing each challenge will be forwarded to TYCOM.
(c) Unmatched Disbursements (UMD). This listing is produced monthly, typically
before the DL or OVR, and provided to each OPTAR holder for appropriate action. The listing
shows expenditures that do not have a matching obligating document in N-SABRS. Why
UMD’s occur vary, therefore each TYCOM provides guidance on frequency and appropriate
corrective action.
(d) Obtaining Listings. The Financial Support Listings are produced on
approximately the 25th of the month, they report transactions from the prior month (i.e.,
transactions processed in October will populate on the listing released in November). They are
forwarded to the unit via TYCOM.
(3) Command Financial Management System (CFMS) Difference List. The CFMS
(original and 1 copy) will be forwarded monthly by the DFAS to individual OPTAR holders for
each OPTAR held. OPTAR holders will accept and post to the Requisition/OPTAR Log all
differences shown on the CFMS Difference List. After posting the differences, the OPTAR
holder will review the listing and annotate transactions considered invalid with the rejection
codes. Rejection codes are listed in NAVSO P-3013-1. The valid rejections will be revised with
a correction transaction by DFAS and will appear on a later CFMS Difference List.
6.5 Supply Department Organization
6.5.1 Standard Organization

6.5.1.1 The standard organization of ashore supply departments is displayed in Figure 6-2. The
standard organization of afloat supply departments is displayed in Figure 6-3. The Supply
Officer of a Navy shore Supply Department reports to the Type Wing Commander. At sites with
multiple Type Wings, the Supply Officer reports to a designated Type Wing Commander, but
serves all Type Wings on the site.
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 4 for Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) organization.
6.5.1.2 ACCs and TYCOMs issue directives for TAD of logistics specialists. Supply
Departments receive logistics specialist manning augments through TAD assignments from
squadrons to compensate for the added workload per the squadron manning document‘s
integrated support section. When Marine Corps squadrons deploy for short periods of time, the
MAW or MALS MO and the AVNSUPO will negotiate the number of TAD personnel
commensurate with expected operational requirements.

a. Receive requisitions that are OFFTR or OFVAL.
b. Perform requisition research using publications, catalogs, stock lists, and manuals to
verify data elements.
c. Update NALCOMIS using researched data.
d. Process requisitions using NALCOMIS.
e. Clear mailbox messages.
6.5.6 Material Delivery Unit (MDU)
MDU is under the functional control of SRS, and is responsible for the pickup and delivery of all
material to supported activities. Deliveries should be planned, scheduled, and carried out to the
maximum extent depending upon the number of drivers or vehicles available and the volume of
material to be delivered. MDU must:
a. Receive DOD Single Line Item Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) for carried items
from designated areas (LRCA, RCU, and PEB).
b. Deliver requisitions to indicated storage locations. Fragile material and delicate
components that require special handling, including special padding and racks, will be delivered
by the most direct route to reduce the risk of damage.
c. Pick up and deliver material from appropriate staging areas within the issue response time
goals when drivers are provided from supported squadrons per squadron manning document
integrated support section. When delivering repairable components, an immediate exchange or
proof of prior turn-in is required unless the component is an authorized CRIPL asset.

6.5.8 Pre-expended Bin (PEB) Unit
6.5.8.1 The PEB Unit is under the functional control of SRS, and is responsible for managing
and stocking PEBs. The purpose of a PEB is to shorten the issue and accounting procedures for
6-35
1 Feb 2021
maintenance materials that are frequently issued to support on-going maintenance. PEBs contain
high usage, maintenance related consumable materials, which have been expended from the
Supply Department stock records and financial accounts.
6.5.8.2 The Supply Officer uses the NALCOMIS PEB module for determining those eligible
items to be added to or purged from pre-expended stocks under the criteria prescribed. Rules:
a. Eligible items with a unit cost of $2,000 or less may be routinely established in pre-
expended stocks bins for items averaging a monthly demand frequency of three four over the
past six months. Eligible items with a unit cost in excess of $2,000 may be pre-expended with
the approval of the CNAP/CNAL N41. TYCOM SOM periodically updates the maximum unit
value for eligible items.
b. PEB stock is limited to maintenance related material having a minimum demand
frequency of three per month. Stock records will be reviewed quarterly to ensure all items have
sufficient usage to be retained in a pre-expended status and to correct any mixing of pre-
expended items.
c. Items NOT authorized for inclusion in PEBs:
(1) DLRs (MCC=E, G, H, Q, or X).
(2) FLRs (MCC=D).
(3) Pilferable items (Pilferage Codes I, J, M, N, P, Q, R, V, W, X, Y, and Z). Repair
parts, with Pilferage Codes I, Y, or Z, and those unclassified items assigned Pilferage Code J
may be pre-expended provided such items are retained in a security storage cage.
(4) Items with assigned issue restriction codes for which issue approval must be provided
by the cognizant ICP, systems commands, or higher Navy authority.
(5) Items with assigned Storage Codes showing a requirement for specialized storage
facilities, for example, hazardous or flammable items.
(6) Items with assigned Security Codes A through H, K, L, O, S, T, or Z.
(7) Items with assigned Special Material Content Codes A through Z, 2, 3, and 4.
(8) Items on critical or short supply lists published by inventory managers or other
authority, and special materials needed for a specific job.
6.5.8.3 The value of material placed in PEBs will be charged to overhead at industrial type
activities or to the account chargeable for operations at other activities. If more than one account
is chargeable for material in a pre-expended category, ASU will apportion the cost to the
appropriate accounts.
6.5.8.4 PEBs will be located where they are readily accessible to maintenance personnel and,
when feasible, where they can be observed by the retail outlet Logistics Specialist to aid in
6-36
1 Feb 2021
recognizing abuses to the pre-expended system. Items subject to pilferage must be retained
within an enclosure with access limited to authorized personnel.
6.5.9 Component Control Section (CCS)
CCS is responsible for managing and accounting for repairables in the IMA repair cycle, stored
in LRCA storage areas, or being processed for shipment to DRPs. CCS is divided into four
units: DCU, LRCA Storage Unit, Supply Screening Unit (SSU), and Awaiting Parts (AWP)
Unit. CCS must:
a. Physically store and manage controlled access areas adjacent to O-level or I-level
activities.
b. Ensure any LRCA stock records maintained independent of the master stock item records
are in agreement.
c. Execute issue and control procedures for all repairable demand requests.
d. Process repairables received from IMA.
e. Store and manage AWP repairables.
f. Control AWP requisitions.
g. Ensure CCS transaction documents, requisitions, and receipts affecting repairable item
stock records are forwarded to stock control.
h. Ensure material reporting transactions for repairables are forwarded to SSCA.
i. Ensure proper workload priority is assigned (EXREP repair of critical repairable).
j. Execute overall repairables management policies and procedures for all uninstalled or in
work DLRs, FLRs, and supply assets. This includes retail OSI items and excess wholesale
Supply System items. When managing OSI repairables, maximum attention will be given to the
best stock level maintenance. When the OSI stock level on an item becomes critically low,
IMAs will be requested to apply priority effort to repair like items in the IMA repair cycle.
Success in preventing stock outages occurs only when ASD and IMA Production Control work
together with the same objectives. This liaison is enhanced when CCS and IMA Production
Control are physically located together, sharing the same records and files when possible. Other
OSI repairables not subject to local repair will receive expeditious handling in the IMA and
Supply Department to hasten the BCM and DRP shipment functions.
k. Manage Stricken Aircraft Reclamation and Disposal Program (SARDIP) parts per
paragraph 6.6.6.
6.5.10 Document Control Unit (DCU)
DCU is under the functional control of CCS, and is responsible for maintaining control of
repairable components in all phases of the repair cycle. DCU must:
6-37
1 Feb 2021
a. Review and monitor NALCOMIS generated IOU, EXREP, and DIFM reports.
b. Review completed repair action mailboxes.
c. Receive RFI or NRFI materials from IMAs.
d. Perform DIFM returns.
e. Perform inter-IMA service return (Repair and Return program).
f. Process RFI material to stock and:
(1) Perform DIFM returns.
(2) Perform issue select, if outstanding EXREP requisition exists.
(3) If no outstanding EXREP, forward material with stow notice to SSU.
(4) If LRCA item, forward material with stow notice to LRCA unit.
g. Process RFI EXREP and:
(2) Forward material with DOD Single Line Item Requisition System Document (DD
1348) to MDU.
h. Process BCM, Stock or DTO items and:
1348) to SSU.
i. Inter-IMA Support. Instances will occur where a repairable component is beyond the
repair capability of the local maintenance activity; therefore, the aviation support entity will ship
the NRFI asset to another IMA for repair and return using NALCOMIS functions and eRMS.
j. Process defective components for shipment or repair to an off-station IMA and:
(1) Perform DIFM return, ensuring action taken code is D.
(2) Indicate UIC of repairing off-station IMAs.
1348), MAF, and applicable logs and records to SSU for shipment.
k. Process returned defective components from off-station IMA and:
(1) Perform inter-IMA service return.
(2) Depending on material condition, perform (6.5.10f through 6.5.10h).
6-38
1 Feb 2021
l. Process incoming defective components from other IMAs and:

(1) Receive and screen component with DOD Single Line Item Requisition System
Document (DD 1348), MAF, and applicable logs and records or CM ALS. If CM ALS is not
received, query previous unit or omawhole@navy.mil.
(2) Deliver component to AMSU for induction to IMAs.
(3) Upon completion of repair cycle, perform DIFM return.
(4) Forward component with DOD Single Line Item Requisition System Document (DD
1348), MAF, and applicable logs and records to SSU for shipment.
6.5.11 Local Repair Cycle Asset (LRCA) Storage Unit
6.5.11.1 The LRCA Storage Unit is under the functional control of CCS , and is responsible for
the receipt, storage, issue, and accountability of repairable assets under the control of the ASD.
LRCAs are part of an activity's repairable fixed allowance. LRCAs will be located in an area
that promotes efficient supply support of aircraft maintenance, that is, rapid issue to an O-level
or I-level activity, rather than storage or record keeping convenience. Collocation of the LRCA
with either I-level Production Control or the O-level activity is the most desirable arrangement.
6.5.11.2 The LRCA concept allows intensive management of selected repairables. The major
criteria for determining which repairables will be placed in the LRCA Storage Unit are local
demand and space availability. However, inclusion of an item in the LRCA storage unit will not
be constrained by a specific usage rate. Repeated critical shortage of an item in the LRCA will
be reviewed by the Supply Officer and IMA Maintenance Officer for initiation of appropriate
management actions. The LRCA Supervisor will determine the high and low limits for built-up
main and nose mounts/tires, with consideration to the number of assets to provide subcustody
assets to assigned squadrons.
NOTES: 1. Positioning of LRCA assets in maintenance spaces, for example, built-up
wheels, engines, and props, is authorized when mutually agreed upon by the
Supply Officer and MO.
2. The Supply Officer may temporarily sub-custody SO assets to the local I-

Level activity to assist in the trouble shooting of assets. Upon completion of the
repair action, the SO asset will be returned to the supply officer’s shelf and must
be in a RFI condition.
3. Material issued from Purpose Code W stocks (LRCA or other storage

locations) will not be expended from the Supply Department records. Instead, a
DIFM record will be established when the repairable issue is made. When the
defective exchange item is repaired and returned to Purpose Code W stock the
Purpose Code W DIFM quantity is transferred to the Purpose Code W on hand
field or record. When the defective exchange item is BCM, the item will be
expended and shipped to the applicable DSP or DRP (document identifier = BC1
6-39
1 Feb 2021
or BC2 as applicable). Purpose Code W DIFM records will be reconciled

quarterly and during scheduled repairable inventories. When a customer's
requirement is issued from off-station sources and the defective exchange item is
BCM, this item is forwarded to the DRP without a stock record adjustment
using document identifier BC1.
6.5.12 Supply Screening Unit (SSU)

SSU is under the functional control of CCS, and is responsible for processing all items returned
from IMAs via DCU and for screening RFI or BCM components using NALCOMIS functions.
The SSU should be located next to the AMSU. Rapid movement of BCM DLRs into the DRP
pipeline is required prior to requisitioning replacements for stock or end use. Under fixed
allowance procedures, DLRs must be certified BCM and prepared for shipment to a DRP before
a replacement can be requisitioned for stock or end use (excluding CRIPL items and ZA9 project
code). SSU must:
a. Comply with NAVSUP Publication 485 procedures for retrograding BCM repairables
received from the IMA and will use the eRMS to create and prepare the NRFI shipping
document.
b. Process components for inter-IMA repair and return support as follows:
(1) Receive component with DOD Single Line Item Requisition System Document (DD
1348), MAF, and applicable logs and records from DCU.
(2) Ship component to the IMA designated to repair and return.
c. Prepare MAFs for IMA processing of excess or shelf NRFI components
d. Arrange for disposition of BCM unserviceable Field Level Repairables (COG 1R,
MCC=D) per eRMS. .
NOTE: Field Level Repairables (FLR) with SM&R code of PAOOO will be processed
through AMSU for disposition. Refer to 5.2.4.2 for additional direction.
6.5.13 Awaiting Parts (AWP) Unit

6.5.13.1 The AWP Unit is under the functional control of CCS, and is responsible for receiving,
storing, and controlling all AWP components in the I-level repair cycle that are in AWP status
for subcomponent parts that are either being worked bv another I-level shop or that have an
outstanding requisition for a part referred off station. The AWP Unit must:
a. Be located within the IMA facilities whenever possible.
b. Establish holding and staging areas.
c. Maintain requisitions and records necessary to monitor, follow up, expedite, reconcile,
validate, and report material demands for component repair.
6-40
1 Feb 2021
d. Maintain liaison with SRS on maintenance material matters to ensure delivery of material
required for component repair.
e. Receive incoming material, identify it to the failed component, and when all required
material is received, re-induct component.
f. Implement procedures to ensure unsatisfactory LRCA AWP situations are made known to
higher authority for assistance.
g. Make recommendations for controlled cannibalization of AWP components after joint
review and determination between AWP unit representative and IMA Production Control.
h. Expedite transfer of BCM components to the next level of repair.
i. Maintain accurate AWP inventory requisition records and perform weekly reviews of
requisition status.
j. Reassign incoming material to AWP components with higher priorities.
k. Establish a location system so any AWP component can be readily located.
l. Develop and use a means of readily identifying requisitions against AWP components.
m. Move requisitions from one component to another whenever cannibalization is
authorized.
n. Store all repair parts received but not installed, associated documentation and hardware
received from the work center, and repair parts subsequently received with the AWP component.
o. Present AWP components for re-induction when all parts have been received.
p. Deliver all repair parts accompanying the component to the appropriate work center.
q. Reorder all AWP requisitions with system cancellation and erroneous parts received.
r. Conduct a weekly validation of AWP components using the DIFM status report per
established procedures. The goal for AWP accuracy is 98 percent. Record the results of each
validation in terms of overall accuracy for the following categories:
(1) One or more valid outstanding requisitions exist for each AWP component.
(2) A valid AWP component exists for each outstanding requisition.
(3) Initiate corrective actions to reconcile all discrepancies noted during validation.
6.5.13.2 Prior to accepting a component from the work center, the AWP Unit will:
a. Ensure component has an outstanding document that is either EXREP or referred off
station.
6-41
1 Feb 2021
b. Ensure all uninstalled repair parts are inventoried prior to taking custody of the AWP
component.
c. Ensure work center personnel acknowledge installation of piece parts by initialing related
completed requisitions recorded in the H through Z field of the accompanying MAF.
6.5.13.3 If the AWP Unit delivers material to the I-level work center that does not satisfy the
intended maintenance action (wrong material is ordered or delivered, material was improperly
marked, or the material is determined to be NRFI on receipt), the AWP Unit will:
a. For material received and determined to be NRFI after installation, the original work
center will requisition replacement material.
b. For material received and determined to be NRFI and not installed or improper
replacement received, the original work center will return erroneous material to AWP. AWP
will perform material turn-in to stock and reorder requisition in NALCOMIS.
6.5.13.4 AWP retention goals and thresholds apply to all fixed allowance assets. Additional
management attention, including a joint review of the overall AWP situation by Maintenance and
Supply management personnel, must be undertaken anytime the number of AWP components on
hand exceeds 15 percent of the average monthly IMA inductions or the number of aged (more
than 60 days) AWP components exceeds 1 percent of the average monthly IMA inductions.
AWP component age will be computed when the AWP repair parts status summary reports is
produced. As part of this review, BCM-4 actions will be considered and decided on a case by
case basis per the guidelines contained in the following paragraphs.
6.5.13.5 Beyond Capability of Maintenance for AWP (BCM-4). All management actions to
resolve AWP status will be taken before BCM-4 action is initiated. Parts requisitions will be
reviewed each day. Follow up action will be initiated if status on a parts requisition is not
received within 10-days period. If satisfactory status is not received within an additional 10-day
period, a request for assistance will be directed to CNAP/CNAL N41. BCM decisions must
consider many variables including:
a. Operational requirement. The component may be required to meet a specific operational
tasking. Even though aircraft readiness may be high, projected tasking may require even higher
aircraft readiness, thus increasing the importance of the single component.
b. Readiness (MC, FMC).
c. IMA production capacity.
d. Supply System availability of repair parts versus availability of the WRA or SRA.
e. Financial impact. The cost of repair parts vice net cost of the WRA or SRA.
NOTE: Refer to 5.2.5.2 for BCM authority policy.
6-42
1 Feb 2021
6.5.13.6 Cannibalization of AWP components. NMCS or PMCS requisitions affecting aircraft

readiness may require the cannibalization of piece parts from one AWP component to another to
resolve the readiness problem. The cannibalization decision can come from:
a. Work Center Supervisor or designee determination that some items item in the repair
cycle that are AWP can be made RFI by cannibalizing piece parts from parts held in the AWP
Storage Unit.
b. CCS screening of NMCS or PMCS repairable requirements on NALCOMIS AWP listings
and determine that cannibalization actions are feasible to satisfy NMCS or PMCS requirements.
If so, CCS will request the Work Center perform the cannibalizations.
NOTE: The cannibalization candidate may be an uninstalled or installed item.

6.6.5 Pack-up Kit Management

6.6.5.1 If a determination is made to request a limited long-term augment outfitting of material
at the site of a shore deployment or detachment, the Type Wing or MAW Commander will
forward the request to the ACC.
6.6.5.2 Marine Corps squadrons will submit shore based deployment or detachment support
requirements to their MALS. Upon receipt of the request, the MALS will determine support
available at the deployment site and prepare a pack-up to augment support at the site.
6.6.5.3 When a ship is deployed, the ship Supply Department is responsible for providing pack-
up kit support for embarked squadrons operating ashore. In general, a pack-up kit will be sent
ashore in the custody of the squadron, for those components the squadron cannot get support
from a co-located IMA at the detachment site. Pack-up kit arrangements and requirements will
be established in advance between the ship, squadron, air wing commander, and shore station.
Expenditure requisitions will be returned to the ship. The ship will initiate, coordinate, and
monitor the support and keep the air group commander and squadron advised as to status.
Requisitions should be initiated by the station when the ship is not within range to support the
detached squadron.
6.6.5.4 Type Wing maintenance staff will initiate and coordinate pack-up kit support for non-
deployed squadron detachments operating away from home station. The Type Wing will ensure
pack-up kit support is only for material essential to accomplishment of the detachment mission.
For Marine Corps activities operating ashore, this is a function of the MALS Aviation Supply
Officer.
6.6.5.5 Upon completion of the detachment, the Supply Department will ensure all unused
material is returned, accompanied by the requisitions to replace all consumed material.
6.6.5.6 Air capable ships supporting embarked helicopter detachments are provided a pack-up
kit from ACC-designated shore outfitting sites. Requirements:
a. Air detachments must request material in support of helicopter maintenance from the host
air capable ship by preparing and submitting a DOD Single Line Item Requisition System
Document (DD 1348) (6PT) to the ship's Supply Department. Requisition document numbers
will be assigned only from the unique series provided to the ship by the supporting shore site
point of entry (POE). Requisitions must cite the appropriate job order number in the
supplementary address block (card columns 45-50) as specified by ACC directives.
b. ACCs will designate shore sites to provide aviation maintenance related material support
to air capable ships functioning as the POE. POE functions include:
(1) Furnish each requesting ship with a unique series of document numbers for use in
requisitioning DTO aviation maintenance support and pack-up kit replenishment requirements
from the POE.

final comprehensive reconciliation prior to the ship’s out-chop.
(11) Assemble and stock complete phase A, B, C, and D maintenance kits for supported
helicopter models and issue kits as requisitioned by supported ships.
6.6.6 Stricken Aircraft Reclamation and Disposal Program (SARDIP)
6.6.6.1 The Supply Department will request a SARDIP master save list from NAVSUP WSS for
reclamation of parts from crashed or stricken aircraft, engines, or equipment.
6.6.6.2 When salvaged parts are received, CCS will identify them by NSN, or by PN when the
NSN cannot be determined. CCS will decide which items are to be inducted into the IMA for
test and check or repair for RFI certification. Induction MAFs will be prepared per the
procedures directed in 16.2.3.17. When reclaimed components are returned from the IMA RFI,
they are put in stock as a gain by inventory. If NRFI, the salvaged item will be processed with
BCM Action Type code D and shipped to the designated repair point.
6.6.6.3 After reclamation, the aircraft, engine or equipment carcass will be reported to
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM, who will respond within 90 days with final disposition instructions.
NOTE: Refer to 10.43.13, and OPNAVINST 3750.6 for general procedures for recovery,

6.6.7 Phase Maintenance Kit Management

Establishing Phase Maintenance Kits is optional. If Phase Maintenance Kits are established, the
Supply Department must:
a. Coordinate with O-level and I-level activities to determine type, quantity, and items to be
included.
b. For ashore sites, establish the kits within the PEB for ordering through NALCOMIS. For
afloat sites, establish procedures for ordering kits.
c. Construct the required number of kits.
d. Pre-expend the cost of the kits.
e. Ensure items are not over aged.
f. Store kits in ASD and issue kits on demand.
NOTES: 1. Depot Level Repairables (DLR) and Field Level Repairables (FLR) are not
authorized in Phase Maintenance Kits.
2. Kits may be cannibalized by ASD for other requirements and then

replenished.
3. Kits may be pre-expended or charged to each squadron upon issue, based

upon the total parts inventory cost in each kit.
6.6.8 Preservation, Packaging and Handling

All aeronautical material, regardless of its condition, must be preserved, packaged, and handled
by Supply or Maintenance personnel to prevent damage or deterioration. Requirements:
a. When it is positively known that a component repaired by an IMA will be reissued to
local operating units in a short period of time, only the minimum amount of preservation and
packaging to ensure positive identification and short time protection are required. In no case will
NRFI material be casually or carelessly handled merely because it is to undergo repair.
Particular care must be given to prevent further damage of repairable items that are being
returned to rework.
b. Intra-station movement of repairables provides the greatest opportunity for damage to
occur. Protective material such as a container designed specifically for the component, bubble
wrap and foam cushioning will be used to protect repairables. Bubble wrap alone is not
acceptable protection for packaging repairables for shipment. The preferred packaging technique
for each component for shipment is listed in NAVSUP P-700.

6-56
1 Feb 2021
has been prepared per the AIR item criteria in paragraph 6.7.2.7.4, and ensuring the AIR contains
complete item identification and PNs covered by the contract.
e. AIRs be unclassified whenever possible. When classified equipment meets the criteria for
an AIR item, the following will apply:
(1) When the nomenclature, title, and location of classified equipment are not classified,
the information will be shown in the same manner as unclassified equipment. However, the
security classification, SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL, will be indicated in the AIR in capital
letters, immediately following identifying nomenclature or title. In addition, an asterisk (*) with
a footnote, "Nomenclature and title unclassified," will be included.
(2) When the nomenclature/title of the equipment is classified, but the location or
installation in the aircraft is not, only the security classification, in capital letters, will be
indicated. In addition, the symbol # with a footnote, "Location unclassified," will be included.
(3) When the location or installation of the equipment is classified, no notation will be
made in the basic AIR.
(4) When the conditions outlined above pertain, the notation, "See supplemental pages
for classified items" will appear in the "Miscellaneous Section" of the AIR. Supplemental pages
must be prepared showing the nomenclature, title, location, and security classification of all
classified material either installed in the aircraft or for which provisions have been incorporated.
The classification assigned to the supplemental pages will be the highest classification of any of
the contents listed. If circumstances cause the classified supplemental pages to become longer
than the basic record, supplemental pages will not be used. The basic record will then be given a
classification equal to the highest classification of the equipment installed in the aircraft. The
handling of the classified supplemental pages or the basic record when classified is per current
classification guides.
(5) When provisions for installation of classified equipment are incorporated in the
aircraft, and the classified items are not installed at that time, the item will be shown in the basic
record or supplemental pages (as applicable) and the appropriate shortage entries will be made.

will continue to maintain required quantities of such items on the MAIR if other operating
activities require the equipment.
c. Immediately upon receipt of notification of transfer, the transferring activity will
inventory all AIR equipment specifically assigned to the aircraft and all MESM equipment,
including all items which cannot be placed aboard the aircraft for transfer. This "loose
equipment" will be turned in to Supply on a Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document (DD
1149) for shipment to the receiving activity. A copy of the Requisition and Invoice/Shipping
Document (DD 1149) will be attached to the AIR and one will be retained by the shipping
activity for their records. The Aircraft Inventory Record Certification and Record of Transfers
(OPNAV 4790/104) (Figure 6-8) will be certified during the transfer action.
d. When an aircraft is transferred on site, inventory teams from the transferring and
accepting activities will jointly inventory the aircraft and record the quantity of each item
onboard the aircraft at the time of transfer in the appropriate column of the Aircraft Inventory
Record Equipment List (OPNAV 4790/111) (Figure 6-6). The Aircraft Inventory Record
Certification and Record of Transfers (OPNAV 4790/104) (Figure 6-8) will be certified during
the transfer action.
e. When an aircraft is ferried for transfer, two inventories are required: one prior to the ferry
flight by the transferring activity and one upon completion of transfer by the accepting activity.
The aircraft ferry pilot accept custody of pilferable and classified equipment from the
transferring activity and transfer custody of the items to the accepting activity. AIR items that
cannot be placed on the aircraft for transfer will be shipped separately marked as "AIR
Equipment for Aircraft BUNO". A note to indicate such shipments is made in Column E of the
Aircraft Inventory Record Equipment List (OPNAV 4790/111) (Figure 6-6) opposite each
affected equipment.
6-61
1 Feb 2021
f. When an aircraft is delivered to a Depot FRC or contract depot facility and is scheduled to
be returned to the same Reporting Custodian after rework, the items that do not require rework or
are not required by the depot activity will be retained by the Reporting Custodian. All retained
items will be noted as such on an Aircraft Inventory Record (Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112)
(Figure 6-7) to relieve the depot activity of accountability requirements. The Aircraft Inventory
Record Certification and Record of Transfers (OPNAV 4790/104) (Figure 6-8) will be certified
during the transfer action.
g. When it is known that an aircraft will be transferred to a new Reporting Custodian while
undergoing depot rework, the transferring Reporting Custodian will ship only the minimum
essential AIR items to the depot, noting all shortages on an Aircraft Inventory Record
(Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112) (Figure 6-7). The remaining equipment will be shipped to the
new Reporting Custodian per transfer Xray direction. The Aircraft Inventory Record
Certification and Record of Transfers (OPNAV 4790/104) (Figure 6-8) will be certified during
this transfer action. The record will not be certified for delivery until receipt of the aircraft.
h. When an aircraft is unexpectedly transferred to a new Reporting Custodian while
undergoing depot rework, the transferring Reporting Custodian will ship all retained AIR items
to the new Reporting Custodian per transfer Xray direction. All shortages will be noted on an
Aircraft Inventory Record (Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112) (Figure 6-7). The Aircraft Inventory
Record Certification and Record of Transfers (OPNAV 4790/104) (Figure 6-8) will be certified
during this transfer action. The record will not be certified for delivery until receipt of the
aircraft.
i. When an aircraft is being transferred to the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration
Center (AMARC) for storage, any AIR items used to protect the aircraft from damage, or to
make the aircraft safe for maintenance, or required for passenger support will remain with the
aircraft. Questions concerning the disposition of AIR items prior to transfer of aircraft to
AMARC will be forwarded via the chain of command to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Product
Support Management/INTEGR DEP, Mission Systems Group.
NOTE: When an AIR is completely used, that is, the data applicable to a number of
separate transfers has been completely used, additional copies of the specific forms
will be inserted in the record after listing the items of material and equipment as
shown on the originals. The inventories recorded on new forms are numbered in
sequence, starting with the first subsequent transfer. When the second subsequent
transfer has been recorded on the new forms, the superseded forms may be
destroyed.
6.7.2.7.6 AIR Equipment Shortages

a. The Aircraft Inventory Record Shortages (OPNAV 4790/112) (Figure 6-7) must be
completed by both the transferring and receiving activity to identify shortages of AIR items and
installed equipment. The shortage list will contain all missing AIR and MESM related items.
The original signed copy of this form will be retained by the transferring activity as a permanent
6-62
1 Feb 2021
record of transfer. A second copy of the form will be placed in the AIR and delivered to the
accepting activity.
b. Following are mandatory entries on the Aircraft Inventory Record Shortages (OPNAV
4790/112) (Figure 6-7):
(1) Name of transferring/receiving activity.
(2) Equipment check/certification number.
(3) Date.
(4) Signature of inventorying activity's CO or representative authorized to sign by
direction.
c. When a new production aircraft is authorized for delivery with CFE/GFE shortages, the
DCMD will ensure the Aircraft Inventory Record (Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112) (Figure 6-7)
is prepared listing shortage items with estimated delivery dates. Copies of this form must be
provided to the aircraft receiving activity, ACC, and COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Product Support
Management/INTEGR DEP, Mission Systems Group.
d. When new production aircraft are received by a Navy or Marine Corps activity with item
shortages not identified on Aircraft Inventory Record Shortages (OPNAV 4790/112) (Figure 6-
7), the activity receiving the aircraft will report the CFE shortages to the Defense Contract
Management Area or District (DCMD) by naval message, requesting item shipping data. GFE
shortages will be reported by naval message to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Product Support
Management/INTEGR DEP, Mission Systems Group requesting acquisition instructions, with an
information copy to the ACC and the supporting MAW)/Type Wing. The message will include
the PN and nomenclature of each missing item, identified to the applicable aircraft BUNO.
e. Every effort will be made to locate or replace missing AIR items prior to transfer.
However, aircraft transfer will not be delayed pending replacement of the items. The
transferring organization will make entries on the Aircraft Inventory Record (Equipment List)
(OPNAV 4790/111) (Figure 6-6) and Aircraft Inventory Record (Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112)
(Figure 6-7). If missing items were removed for repair, a notation will be entered in Column D
of the Aircraft Inventory Record - Shortages (OPNAV 4790/112) and necessary steps taken to
forward the items marked for the applicable BUNO when received. If a missing item is on order,
Column D will include a statement that the item will be forwarded on receipt. If an AIRs item is
on back-order at time of transfer, the transferring activity will cancel the requisition(s), advise
the accepting activity, and furnish information and justification on the Aircraft Inventory Record
(Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112), which can be used by the accepting activity for obtaining
replacement items. CFE shortages noted on a previous record must be transcribed to the new
Aircraft Inventory Record (Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112). The transferring activity must notify
the DCMD of the aircraft CFE shortage and provide updated shipping instructions for the CFE.
6-63
1 Feb 2021
f. When shortages are discovered upon receipt of an aircraft and are not recorded in the AIR,
the receiving organization will itemize shortages and submit a list of the shortages to the activity
that transferred the aircraft within 10 working days of receipt of the aircraft. The transferring
activity will take one of the following actions within 15 working days after receipt of shortage
notification:
(1) Furnish vouchered turn-in document, or
(2) Furnish shipping data indicating shortages are being delivered, or
(3) Provide a Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss (DD Form 200) for
missing items to the accepting activity. If the item is not missing, but was not supplied due to
other reasons, such as ACC direction, the activity CO must provide a written statement on the
authority for retaining the item and supporting documentation, such as the ACC/TYCOM naval
message or letter authorizing retention.
NOTE: In all cases, authority for transferring aircraft with shortages must be obtained in
writing from the ACC/TYCOM prior to aircraft transfer.
g. The notation "Missing on Receipt" will not be used on Aircraft Inventory Record
(Shortages) (OPNAV 4790/112). Appropriate authority will be referenced and a copy of the
authorization, for example, letter, message, document, will be included in the AIR until the
shortage is filled.
h. Missing MESM equipment that is not listed on the AIR but required to be transferred with
the aircraft, will be included on the Aircraft Inventory Record Shortages (OPNAV 4790/112)
(Figure 6-7). When missing MESM equipment is received by the accepting activity, appropriate
deletions will be made to Aircraft Inventory Record Shortages (OPNAV 4790/112). No changes
are required to be made to the Aircraft Inventory Record (Equipment List) (OPNAV 4790/111)
(Figure 6-6) unless equipment is listed on the MAIR.
i. If an AIR is lost or destroyed, the reporting custodian will reconstruct the AIR using a
copy of the MAIR provided by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Product Support
Management/INTEGR DEP, Mission Systems Group and by performing a physical inventory.
6.7.2.8 Flight Clothing
Flight clothing may be purchased for issue to personnel in a flying status. Flight clothing pools
are defined as articles of flight clothing listed in the NAVAIR 00-35QH-2 held in stock at the
activity. Flight clothing pools must be accounted for, inventoried, and maintained as follows:
a. NAVSUP 306 custody cards will be established for each item carried in the flight clothing
pool.
b. 100% inventory validity must be maintained at all times.
6-64
1 Feb 2021
c. All items held in the pool must be inventoried quarterly and upon change of custodian. In
the event of a loss by inventory, the loss will be reported via survey procedures of paragraph
6.3.4.
d. Replacement flight clothing issues must be conducted by PR rate (USMC MOS
equivalent) personnel qualified to perform Place In Service inspections. Items must be issued on
a one-for-one exchange basis to personnel in a flying status only. Quantity of items issued will
not exceed the allowances established in the NAVAIR 00-35QH-2.
e. Turned-in flight clothing will be processed for disposal at the nearest supporting DLA
Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service and must retain documentation of adequate
disposal.
6.7.2.9 Flight Packets
Material Control is responsible for constructing and controlling flight packets for issue to pilots
making extended flights. Requirements:
a. Each aircraft making an extended flight will be provided with a flight packet containing,
at a minimum, those items listed in NAVSUP Publication 485 and ACC/TYCOM instructions.
Flight packets will contain instructions to assist pilots in obtaining material or services necessary
for the continuation of a flight.
b. COs will issue written procedures for flight packet control, issue, and use.
c. Strict accountability of the Purchase Order/Invoice/Voucher (SF 44) will be established
using the preprinted serial control number on the document for accountability.
d. Flight packets must be inventoried by the Supply Officer or Material Control Officer
when returned after each extended flight and at least monthly.
6.7.3 Intermediate-level Material Control
In addition to the general responsibilities of paragraph 6.7.1, IMAs are responsible for the
material management responsibilities prescribed in this section.
NOTE: Weapons Department Material Controls interface with the Supply Department in
a similar manner as IMA Material Controls. Weapons Departments will order
weapons support equipment WSE components from the Supply Department when
removal and replacement of repairable components is involved. The defective
component(s) will be turned into the Supply Department.
6.7.3.1 Organization
a. IMAs must establish a Material Control Branch (050) and any additional 050 I-level Work
Centers needed to control material, such as 05A Material Screening (AMSU) or Joint Aviation
Screening Unit (JASU), 05B Material Procurement/Accounting, 05C Accountable
6-65
1 Feb 2021
Material/IMRL Manager, 05D Aviation Tool Issue/Tool Control Center, and 05H Hazardous
Material Control.
NOTE: I-Level Material Control Supervisors and Financial Managers must attend the
Naval Aviation Material Control Management course (C-555-0051) and the
Financial Management for Naval Aviation Operating Target Accounting course
(Course C-555-0018) within 6 months of assuming duties.
6.7.3.2 AMSU/JASU
IMAs must establish an Aeronautical Material Screening Unit (AMSU) or a Joint Aviation
Screening Unit (JASU) in conjunction with the Supply Department. AMSU/JASU will:
NOTE: AMSU/JASU and the Supply Screening Unit (SSU) have two distinct functions and
responsibilities, but both share joint ownership of components undergoing repair
in the IMA. The IMA and Supply Department may combine SSU, Document
Control Unit (DCU), and AMSU/JASU, as long as specific ownership is identified.
a. Process all NRFI components received from O-level activities or IMA work centers to
determine whether the component is within the check, test, or repair capability of the IMA.
b. Receive check, test, and repair components from the Component Control Section (CCS)
or Warehouse Control Branch (WCB) for the Marine Corps and verify all documentation logs,
records, MAF, WO, and CM ALS electronic data) were received with the component.
NOTE: AMSU/JASU will check the part number (P/N) on the WO or MAF against the
P/N on the component identification plate. If the ID plate is missing, AMSU/JASU
will validate the P/N with the Technical Research Unit (TRU) and the WO or
MAF originator. New P/Ns will be added to NALCOMIS by TRU.
c. Identify components and determine whether they are within the check, test, and repair
capability of IMA using the standard ICRL. When check, test, or repair capability does not exist,
components must be shipped to the designated support point or DRP (via the ATAC Program),
or another activity having the capability to repair the component. Under normal circumstances,
the determination must be made within 24 hours. When determined that repair capability does
not exist, the component will be shipped to another activity within 24 hours. Total IMA, Supply
and Maintenance, hold time must not exceed 2 days.
d. Notify QA and Production Control when a component is received with When Discovered
Code Y (found defective upon installation). AMSU/JASU must complete section C of the Y-
Code Process Form (Figure 6-7), and will process the component after QA assigns a report
number and completes Section B of the Y-Code Process Form. AMSU/JASU will route the Y-
Code Process Form to the cognizant work center with the component.
e. Initiate an Individual Component Repair List (ICRL) Change Request (Figure 10.20-1)
per paragraph 10.20 for P/Ns being inducted for the first time.
6-66
1 Feb 2021
f. Review the discrepancy against items listed as X1 CC on the ICRL for potential to repair,
for example, broken/missing knobs or fasteners, and contact Production Control for direction to
induct or not induct the item.
NOTES: FLRs with SM&R coded PAOOO will be processed through AMSU/JASU for
disposition. AMSU/JASU will confer with Production Control to determine if a
repair is feasible and cost-effective. Refer to paragraph 5.2.4.2 for additional
direction on processing items with SM&R Code PAOOO.
g. Notify Production Control for direction on scheduling the component into the repair cycle.
h. Route components to the Work Center designated in the ICRL or per Production Control
direction.
i. Verify the ASR, EHR, or SRC card for the component is packaged properly to prevent loss
or damage. When components are shipped between activities, the following procedures must be
followed:
(1) Photocopy the ASR, EHR, or SRC card and place it in a plastic envelope and securely
attach it to the outside of the shipping container. If the component must be shipped in an open
crate or without a container, a photocopy is not required; however, special attention must be
given to ensure the envelope containing the ASR, EHR, or SRC card is securely attached to the
component.
NOTE: The photocopy of the ASR, EHR, or SRC card may be used to reconstruct a new
card in the case of a lost or mutilated card. Refer to 8.2.10 for additional
procedures to reconstruct missing records.
(2) Insert and seal the ASR, EHR, or SRC card in a plastic envelope. Shipping
documents and WOs or MAFs will not be placed in the same envelope. Attach the plastic
envelope directly to the component and put both items inside the shipping container.
(3) Move CM ALS data to the receiving activity.
6.7.3.3 Awaiting Parts (AWP)
When notified that parts are not available in the local supply chain, the IMA Work Center will
deliver the component, all associated documentation, uninstalled RFI parts, and hardware (such
as nuts and screws) to the Supply Department AWP Unit (6.5.13). All hardware delivered with
the component will be in an appropriate container labeled "hardware". A component with
outstanding (not filled by local supply action) AWP requisitions will be delivered to the AWP
holding area within 24 hours from the time the requisition was submitted. Aircraft engines and
other large components may be retained in the work center when movement to an AWP holding
area is impractical. MAF bags will not be used for uninstalled items (parts) that are easily
crushed by other items.
6-67
1 Feb 2021
6.7.3.4 Preservation and Packaging

IMAs will perform internal and external preservation (prior to packaging) of all components in
the repair cycle. The P700-CNP website (https://tarp.navsup.navy.mil/ ) provides preservation
and packaging requirements for specific repairable components. Requirements:
a. IMAs will adequately protect components for local routing the repairable to or among the
various supply or I-level work centers. The packing and preservation section is responsible for
final packing and preservation of components (less engines) prior to storage or shipment.
Engines will be preserved and packaged by the IMA.
NOTES: 1. When it is positively known a component repaired by an IMA will be reissued
to local operating units in a reasonably short time, it need only receive the
minimum amount of preservation and packaging to ensure positive identification
and short-time protection.
2. All solid-state electronic components and assemblies containing such

components are considered ESDS items unless otherwise directed by higher
authority. Refer to, paragraph 10.21, for guidance and direction for the
identification, handling, and protection of ESDS components.
b. The IMA will track supply assets to ensure re-inspection or re-preservation is done per
preservation or technical manuals.
6.8 Marine Corps Aviation Material Management
6.8.1 Policy
Marine Corps activities have the same material management responsibilities as Navy activities,
with additional direction from Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC). Marine Corps Order
4400.17 Aviation Supply Desk Top Procedures directs standardization of aviation Supply
operations. Adherence to the MCO P4400.177 is mandatory for MALS. Because of unique
local situations, there may be rare instances that require minor deviations from specific
procedures delineated in MCO P4400.177. In those cases, the MALS must submit a written
request to their MAW commander with information copies to the Fleet Marine Force (FMF)
commander and Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) (Code ASL-33).
6.8.2 Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) Supply Officer
MAW Supply Officer responsibilities include coordinating aviation materiel (such as inventory
management, distribution, storage, and transportation), financial matters, training, and related
programs in support of squadrons assigned within subordinate MAGs. The aviation supply
officer and staff are the principal points of contact for coordinating aviation supply matters
between the aircraft TYCOM; the MAW commander; and the assigned MAGs. The branch also:
a. Implements and coordinates aviation supply policy within the MAW.
6-68
1 Feb 2021
b. Coordinates with the MAW comptroller on all matters concerning operations,

maintenance, and Navy expenditures.
c. Conducts liaison with external agencies in support of aircraft readiness within supported
MALS.
d. Coordinates aviation materiel support for ship and unit deployments.
c. Coordinates the assignment of personnel in the 6602, 6604, and 6672 MOSs.
d. Analyzes aviation supply and financial management performance.
e. Monitors weapon system materiel support transitioning from commercial supply to Navy
supply.
f. Coordinates with the ALIMS branch on policy development input to HHQ for
changes/updates to NTCSS and other aviation logistic information systems.
6.8.3 Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) Aviation Supply Officer
The MALS Aviation Supply Officer (AVNSUPO) functions as a special staff officer for the
MAG Commanding Officer (CO). General responsibilities:
a. Strict adherence to MCO P4400.177.
b. Manage and administer the MALS Supply Department.
c. Produce, receive, store, maintain, and issue aviation Marine Corps property within the
MAG.
d. Monitor MALS Supply Department performance.
e. Advise the MAG and MALS CO’s and their staff on Supply matters relating to readiness,
effectiveness, and ongoing and planned projects within the MAG MALS Supply Department.
f. Liaison with supporting Supply activities and MAW staff to ensure MAG supply
requirements are known and satisfied.
g. Liaison with each squadron within the MAG on supply support of squadron readiness.
6.9 Depot Level Repairable (DLR) Management
6.9.1 General DLR Policy and Processes

6.9.1.1 Repairable components represent the most significant dollar investment in the entire
aeronautical item inventory. Improved management of these repairable components is essential
to increase the readiness of the operating forces and reduce support costs.
6.9.1.2 Aviation equipment and systems are complex and their maintenance requires industrial
capabilities not available at the O-level or I-level. As a result, increasing use is being made of
6-69
1 Feb 2021
DLR modular replacement components that are repaired at organic and commercial depot rework
sites. These DLR components are removed and replaced at the O-level and I-level, either
periodically or upon failure, and are economically restored to serviceable condition at specified
depot-level designated repair points (DRP) when beyond intermediate-level capability. When
failed DLRs are removed, serviceable components are requisitioned and the failed components
are turned in to the supply system.
6.9.1.3 The decision that an item will be managed as a repairable component is made by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM during the provisioning process with the aid of the prime contractor
and the inventory manager. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM assigns SM&R codes, including support
level assignments, for each repairable component as part of the formal provisioning of
aeronautical material based upon a maintenance plan. SM&R codes assign repair responsibilities
to D-level maintenance according to their capabilities and capacities. If organic depot capability
or capacity is insufficient, support can be used from inter-service or commercial contract sources
either as an interim measure until the organic capability and capacity can be developed or
permanently, depending on the economics, or operational essentiality involved.
6.9.1.4 Master Component Rework Control (MCRC) is a major segment of managing the DLR
component rework schedule. MCRC maintains a central data bank containing rework
requirements capability and production data for repairable aeronautical components, which
provides all levels of management with comprehensive reporting on the range and depth of the
component rework program. Among other features, the MCRC system indicates which activities
are DRPs for each repairable component line item and the capability of the DRPs.
6.9.1.5 The repairable designation is based on a determination that it costs less to rework
existing components than to procure new components. Inventory economies can be achieved by
having such components returned to service through rework by depots. Components designated
as MTR must be turned in to the Supply System for rework at the DRP when beyond field (O-
level and I-level) level capabilities.
6.9.1.6 The special management applied to DLR components includes a program (application
operation B08) to improve the efforts of the naval aviation industrial establishment in scheduling
the rework of components. The inventory manager at NAVSUP WSS will compute and transmit
specific rework requirements to the DRPs. The program features a weekly automatic data
processing generated component rework requirement computation that considers RFI, NRFI, and
in-process assets as offsets to derive the net requirement for depot rework induction. The net
requirements projections show an induction and production deficiency. The deficiency is scaled
to portray the various levels of priorities to identify the criticality of the stock deficiency more
precisely in descending induction priority sequence.
6.9.1.7 It is COMNAVAIRSYSCOM policy to use RFI D-level repairables to the maximum
extent practicable, in lieu of concurrently reworking identical components incident to aircraft and
power plant programs. To support that policy, NAVSUP WSS and the DRPs have negotiated
retail allowances for non-concurrent rework, known as repairable support inventory (RSI). The
6-70
1 Feb 2021
RSI population includes all known requirements for exchange of DLRs, including those items
determined by NAVSUP WSS to be in long supply in the Supply System. Prior to routing a
component removed from an aircraft or engine for concurrent rework, the DRP must determine if
that component is a member of the RSI population. If it is, the DRP must requisition a
replacement unit on a "fill-or-kill" basis from its supporting DSP. If assets are available, the
DSP must issue the material to the DRP; if no assets are available, the DSP will "kill" the
requisition. If the DSP makes the issue, the DRP will turn in the removed component to the
system, and will be billed the net price for the replacement by NAVSUP WSS. The only
approved exceptions to DLR exchange in lieu of concurrent rework are:
a. DLRs that are not identified as RSI items.
b. RSI items that are not available for exchange, as evidenced by a "killed" requisition status
from the DSP.
6.9.1.8 The Advanced Traceability and Control Retrograde Depot Level Repairables Program
improves accountability, traceability, and customer billing accuracy in the DLR carcass tracking
system. Under ATAC procedures, most retrograde DLRs are shipped via ATAC hubs that serve
as centralized DLR processing facilities. Complete ATAC procedures, as well as exceptions to
the program, are in NAVSUP Publication 485, Volume I, Chapter 8, Part D and Electronic
Retrograde Management System (eRMS) Desk Guide.
6.9.2 Commercial Depot Rework
6.9.2.1 General Policy and Procedures
a. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Sustainment Group determines commercial depot-level rework
requirements when developing the maintenance plan for an aircraft, engine or equipment.
b. Commercial depot rework is managed by NAVSUP WSS .
c. NAVSUP WSS is responsible for contracting for and scheduling commercial rework of
components, whereas contracting for the rework of aircraft and aircraft power plants is the
responsibility of COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Sustainment Group. Paragraph 6.9.4 provides
additional information on contracting for commercial rework.
d. The material support provided for each contract is generally limited to that direct material
which becomes an integral part of the item being reworked. The primary exceptions include
materials furnished by the government, for example, gases, liquids, greases and lubricants,
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and paint. These types of material and all material furnished by the
contractor must meet government specifications. Excess contractor furnished material does not
become government material so it is not available for issue to any government activity.
e. Contractors that perform aircraft and engine rework are not required to have the capability
to rework all components installed on the aircraft or power plant. Components that the
contractor does not have rework capability for must be shipped to the designated DRP and
replacement RFI components must be drawn from the supply system. Process:
6-71
1 Feb 2021
(1) Depot Rotatable Pool. A small number of components are identified in the work
specification as requiring rework when the aircraft and power plant are inducted into commercial
rework. These types of items usually require more time to rework than do the aircraft or power
plant of which they are a part. To avoid work stoppages, as well as to protect system assets for
operating force use, a rotatable pool of these components is established at the contractor's plant.
The size of the pool is determined at first by NAVSUP WSS upon contract award and is
reviewed periodically as the availability of assets, piece part support, and contractor
requirements change.
(2) Standby Pool. Major components, for example, helicopter rotor blades, propellers,
gearboxes, and power plants, are not programmed to be reworked by the same contractor that
reworks the aircraft. To provide the contractor with the assets to support the production
schedule, a standby pool for these types of components is established which will ensure the
contractor has at least one asset on hand at all times. As assets are drawn from the standby pool,
the contractor is required to requisition replacement assets from the controlling government
agency.
(3) Standby and rotatable pool quantities are kept to the absolute minimum needed to
support the contractor. Pool assets normally will not be made available to any other activity
because pool depletion would result in production delays, increased potential for substandard
quality, and un-programmed contract cost increases.
f. Repairable components received at depots with shipping, packaging, or preservation
discrepancies place an additional burden on supply assets by increasing turn-around time (TAT)
or cause loss (survey) of the components due to lack of preservation or proper packaging.
Additionally, components requiring data, such as SRC, ASR, EHR, MSR, and logbooks that are
received for rework with missing or incorrect data cards, require expending additional hours to
correct. Critical components, for example, aircraft tail hooks, launch bars, and tail hook
trunnions, require penalizing when SRC data is incorrect or not available, thereby causing
additional loss of usage. Packaging, preservation, technical data, and shipping discrepancies
noted on receipt of repairable components must be reported as directed by NAVSUP Publication
723.
6.9.3 DLR Requisitioning
6.9.3.1 DLRs are requisitioned on a one-for-one exchange basis for fleet unit material
requirement.
6.9.3.2 Stock replenishment requisitions are submitted only after turn-in (retrograde action) of
an unserviceable item is cleared from the Completed Repair Action mailbox.
6.9.3.3 Most NRFI DLRs will be returned to the DRP or DSP via the ATAC hub.
6-72
1 Feb 2021
6.9.4 Contracting for Commercial Rework of DLRs

6.9.4.1 Planning
The key to a good commercial contractor rework program is a well-written, detailed and
administered contract. Coordination between the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) and
the technical representatives is critical to ensuring the contract has adequate control of the
contractor's effort. Work to write the contract should begin to ensure the specific actions shown
in Commercial Rework Milestones for Existing Commercial Contracts (Figure 6-9) are
accomplished. In addition to the lead time required to properly develop the contract, it is
essential that the technical data and government furnished material needed to accomplish the
rework be provided to the contractor to start the implementation of the contract and before the
first item is inducted for rework. The production schedule should also provide the contractor
with additional time on the first few production delivery dates for a training and experience
learning curve.
6.9.4.2 Life of Rework Contracts
For cost effectiveness, rework contracts are developed to provide services in yearly increments
of up to 5 years. The provisions of the contracts include the renewal of existing contracts by
successive exercise of yearly options. These types of contracts provide for an additional 90-day
option beyond the terminal date of the contract to cover the requirements generated during a new
contract start-up period when awarding to a contractor other than the current contractor.
6.9.4.3 Constructive Change
a. A constructive change could put the government in violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act
which says that the government does not obligate or create an obligation or make any
expenditure in excess of an apportionment or an administrative subdivision of appropriated
funds. No effort is to be contracted for unless there are funds available for that effort.
b. Constructive changes could increase the liability of the government to more than the funds
available. Therefore, only the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) is authorized to change
contract provisions unless this authority is specifically delegated by the PCO in writing.
NOTE: Conduct by government personnel in administering or managing the contract or
contractor may be construed as amending the contract provisions by the
contractor. This is known as “apparent authority.” The doctrine of apparent
authority is not applicable to government contracts and government
representatives acting beyond their authority may cause an unauthorized
commitment to occur requiring ratification (DOD FAR Supplement 1.670). If
ratification is not possible, the government employee may be liable.

CHAPTER 7
Quality Assurance (QA)
7.1 Introduction
7.1.1 Concept. Quality Assurance as it relates to the NAMP is the process of systematic inspection
and monitoring to verify standards of quality are being met in Navy and Marine Corps aircraft,
engines, components, and equipment.
7.1.2 Objectives.
a. The application of QA from start to completion of each maintenance task to prevent defects
before they occur.
b. Improve the quality, uniformity, and reliability of aircraft and equipment.
c. Improve the quality of maintenance materials, technical data, and processes.
d. Improve the skills and consistency in performance of maintenance personnel.
e. Eliminate unnecessary man-hours and material expenditures.
7.1.3 Responsibility. QA is the responsibility of every individual involved with Naval Aviation
maintenance. Although the QA Officer (QAO) is responsible for managing the overall quality
assurance effort within the maintenance department, each Division Officer, Division Chief, Work
Center Supervisor, and technician is equally responsible for maintenance quality within their areas of
responsibility. A proactive QA Division is an equal partner with Maintenance Control, Divisions,
and Work Center Supervisors in ensuring high quality, safe maintenance. As often as possible, QA
personnel will be “out and about” monitoring ongoing maintenance for compliance with the NAMP,
tech manual procedures, and safety precautions. QA’s involvement is a critical element of
Operational Risk Management (ORM) and is especially important during high-tempo flight
operations ashore and afloat.
NOTE: The Depot Quality Management System (QMS) is described in Chapter 12
7.1.4 Terms. The terms QA, inspection, auditing, and monitoring have distinct meanings as they
apply to the NAMP.
a. QA is the planned and systematic pattern of actions taken to verify if an item conforms to
specifications and will perform satisfactorily.
b. Inspection is the physical examination and testing of aircraft, engines, equipment, components,
parts, and materials to determine conformance to specifications.
(1) Final inspections are specific QA functions performed following the completion of a
maintenance task when proper accomplishment of the task can be determined by visual inspection.
Zonal inspections for obvious defects such as leaks or foreign objects in the immediate work area
7-1
1 Feb 2021
prior to closing a panel, and the verification of WO and MAF documentation are also part of the final
inspection process.
(2) In-process inspections are required during the performance of maintenance where
satisfactory accomplishment of the task cannot be determined after the task has been completed.
Requirements for an in-process inspection include, but are not limited to, witnessing application of
torque, functional testing, adjusting, assembly, servicing, and installation. The notation “QA”
appears on each Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) requiring an in-process QA task.
(3) Receipt or screening inspections apply to material, components, parts, equipment, logs,
and records, Configuration Management Auto Log-sets (CM ALS), and documents. Receipt
inspections are normally conducted to identify the material received, determine its condition and
maintenance requirements, and verify the accuracy of accompanying records.
c. Auditing is the periodic or on-condition evaluation of compliance with specified policies and
procedures. Examples of audits include QA program audits, Division Officer work center audits, and
program manager audits. Refer to paragraph 10.7 for guidance on auditing.
d. Monitoring is the physical observance of a process to verify compliance with procedures, for
example, a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) watching an aircraft towing evolution or the
Line Division Supervisor watching a fuel sample being taken to verify correct procedures are being
adhered to and all safety precautions are being followed. Monitoring also includes routine collection
and trending of performance data, for example, oil consumption and foreign object damage (FOD)
trends. Active monitoring of ongoing maintenance by supervisors, managers, and QA personnel is
one of the most important aspects of ensuring quality.
NOTE: Active monitoring of ongoing maintenance by supervisors, managers, and QA
personnel is one of the most important aspects of ensuring quality.
7.2 Quality Assurance Division Organization. At a minimum, one member will be assigned to
QA Division to provide coverage for each of the billets specified in the applicable Quality Assurance
Organizational Chart (Figure 7-1 through Figure 7-3), as applicable to the T/M/S aircraft maintained.
The Maintenance Officer (MO) will determine the number of additional Quality Assurance
Representatives (QAR) assigned to the QA Division, and the number of Collateral Duty Quality
Assurance Representatives (CDQAR) and Collateral Duty Inspectors (CDI) assigned to production
work centers based on operational requirements, QA workload, and number of work shifts.
NOTES: 1. QA Supervisors may also be designated as QARs in their areas of technical
expertise.
2. Helicopter Mine Countermeasures (HM) squadrons with separate Maintenance
Departments for aircraft and Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) systems will
operate a single QA Division under the cognizance of the Aircraft Maintenance
Department. The Aircraft Maintenance Department QA Division will be equally
responsible to both departments for the accomplishment of all QA functions.
7.3 Quality Assurance Personnel. Personnel assigned to QA duties are the direct representative of
the Commanding Officer (CO) for ensuring the quality of aircraft, engines, components, and
7-2

syllabi or job qualification requirement (JQR) and written tests for a QAR and for a CDI for each
Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) or Marine MOS, for each T/M/S aircraft supported. The training
syllabus and written test will cover the unique duties of each position. CDQARs will complete the
same training and testing as QARs. I-level activities must establish a QAR and CDI training syllabus
7-4
1 Feb 2021
or PQS, and written test requirements specific to the engines, components, and equipment they
support. The training syllabus or job qualification requirement (JQR) and the test must cover the QA
requirements for test, inspection, and administrative processes specific to the QAR or CDI
assignment. Marine activities will use the training and testing syllabus developed by TECOM, per
10.1.4. Specific areas to be covered in the syllabus include:
a. QPT or AMTRP requirements.
b. Formal school requirements applicable to their QA billet.
c. Testing and inspection procedures, for example: bore scoping, measuring FOD damage,
measuring tolerances, corrosion focus area list (FAL) inspection techniques, conditional inspection
requirements, in-process and final QA witnessed requirements for torque, and functional testing.
d. Required reading, to include this chapter and all Naval Aviation Maintenance Program
Standard Operating Procedures (NAMPSOPs) applicable to the QA billet.
e. WO or MAF sign-off and inspection certification procedures.
f. (QAR) T/M/S Functional Check Flight (FCF) requirements, to include annotating the checklist
and how to brief an FCF.
g. (QAR) Data collection and monitoring procedures for areas applicable to the QA billet

NOTE: In I-level activities with D-level artisans assigned for beyond capability of maintenance
interdiction (BCMI), the IMA QA Officer will collaborate with the artisan’s Depot
FRC QA Officer on a joint LCP that specifies the training, tasks, certification
procedures, and any other requirements for D-level artisans to perform the BCMI
inspection certification procedures of paragraph 7.5.2.4.
7.3.4.2 The QA Officer is responsible for ensuring QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs are trained and
current in the QA processes related to their QA billet and work center assignment. If a QAR is
assigned to perform inspections outside of their billet assignment, the QA Officer must verify they
receive cross training in any QA functions they perform that are not in their NEC or MOS area of
expertise. If applicable, cross training will include Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training
Unit (CNATTU) training courses, on-job training (OJT), rotation of assignments, and task specific
elements of the QAR training syllabus or PQS.
7-5
1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. Cross-training is not permitted for QA functions related to egress systems or I-
level Aviation Life Support Systems (ALSS) maintenance. Only qualified egress
systems technicians and I-level ALSS technicians, qualified per the 10.40 ALSS and
Egress Systems Maintenance NAMPSOP, are permitted to inspect the maintenance
of personnel parachutes, drogue chutes (excluding drogue chutes in non-removable
head boxes), seat survival kits, and inflatable survival equipment.
2. O-level activities having no or only one PR assigned must designate a cross-
trained QAR or CDQAR to inspect work performed on ALSS equipment. Cross-
trained QARs or CDQARs will use NAVAIR 13-1-6 series manuals for technical
guidance.
3. QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs inspecting ALSS or egress systems must be ordnance
certified per OPNAVINST 8023.24 or MCO 8023.3.
7.3.5 Designation
7.3.5.1 QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs permanently attached or TAD to the activity must be designated
by the activity’s CO in writing via Quality Assurance Representative/Inspector
Recommendation/Designation (OPNAV 4790/12) (Figure 7-4) or ASM equivalent. Requirements:
a. Meet the qualification requirements specified in paragraph 7.3.1, 7.3.2, or 7.3.3 for the

circumstances, the most experienced personnel available will be assigned. The CO
must inform their Type Wing or MAG (or immediate superior in the chain of
command if not assigned to a Wing or MAG) by naval letter of each paygrade
deviation. The letter must include the name, paygrade and designation (QAR,
CDQAR or CDI) of each individual, the projected end date of the temporary
assignment, and a detailed explanation for assigning someone of lesser paygrade, to
include current and projected status of manning related to the billet. CO authority
to approve deviations from QAR, CDQAR or CDI paygrade requirements cannot be
delegated.
b. Division Officers will review the qualifications of QAR, CDQAR, and CDI candidates and
personally interview the candidate prior to endorsing the recommendation.
c. The QA Officer and QA Supervisor will verify the qualifications of QAR, CDQAR, and CDI
candidates, and conduct an oral board per the Type Wing or TECOM training syllabus, prior to
endorsing the recommendation.
d. The MO must endorse the recommendation prior to forwarding to the CO for designation.
7-6
1 Feb 2021
e. The QA Officer must prepare a billet description with specific QA functions and
responsibilities for each QAR, CDQAR, and CDI.
7.3.5.2 COs of activities that deploy detachments may authorize detachment officers in charge (OIC)
to designate QA personnel, provided the deployment period is in excess of 90 days and all procedures
and requirements for designating QA personnel are accomplished by the detachment.
7.3.5.3 The Weapons Officer must designate personnel TAD or permanently attached to the
Weapons Department or Navy Munitions Command detachment. Weapons Department personnel
assigned to an I-level activity work center must be designated by the I-level activity CO.
7.3.5.4 QARs, CDQARs, or CDIs that are TAD to another command operating or supporting the
same T/M/S aircraft may be designated as a QAR, CDQAR, or CDI by the TAD unit CO without re-
completing QAR, CDQAR, or CDI training. Prior to designation, the qualifications of the
temporarily assigned QAR, CDQAR, or CDI candidate must be reviewed and the candidate must be
interviewed and endorsed for designation by the TAD unit Work Center Supervisor, Division Officer,
Quality Assurance Officer, Quality Assurance Supervisor, and MO.
7.3.5.5 QAR, CDQAR, and CDI designation is suspended when personnel are TAD outside of the
maintenance department. Designation may be reinstated on return to the maintenance department
without recompleting training or testing, if all other qualifications are current, as deemed by the
QAO.

(3) (Aircraft Reporting Custodians) FOD Rate. Track reportable FODs per flight hour.
(4) (Aircraft Reporting Custodians) Ground and In-Flight Aborts. Track by cause and BUNO
and pilot.
(5) (Aircraft Reporting Custodians) When Discovered Code “A” (Before Flight - Abort -
Aircrew). Track by discrepancy and BUNO.
(6) (Aircraft Reporting Custodians) When Discovered Code C (In-Flight - Abort). Track by
discrepancy and BUNO.
h. (I-Level Activities) Investigate the cause of parts, components, and assemblies inducted with a
When Discovered Code “Y” (Found defective upon receipt). The investigation will be documented
on the Y-Code Process Form (Figure 7-5). Completed forms will be kept for one year. QA will
maintain an electronic or hardcopy log of Y-Code reports with the following information: report
number by calendar year and sequential S/N (2016-001 followed by 2016-002, etc.), date initiated,
QAR assigned, work center, P/N, and S/N.
NOTE: If a D-level artisan participated in the repair of the discrepant equipment, the artisan
will assist with the investigation.
i. (Aircraft Reporting Custodians) For each BUNO assigned, maintain a history file with BUNO
specific information not documented in NALCOMIS. As applicable, the file will contain:
(1) Oil analysis results
(2) T/M/S specific out of limits conditions (oil consumption, vibrations, over temperature)
(3) Completed FCF Checklists
(4) Completed Material Condition Inspection (MCI) Checklists
j. Brief FCF pilots and aircrew on the purpose and objectives of the FCF. After completion of
the FCF, QA will debrief check pilots, aircrew, Maintenance Control, and work center
representatives to determine compliance with the FCF objectives and review discrepancies found
during the FCF.
7-8
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Completed FCF Checklists will be retained in the aircraft’s history file for a minimum
of 6 months, or one phase cycle, whichever is greater.
k. (O-Level) At least once per month, review user LOGIN IDs against Special Maintenance
Qualifications (SMQ) and verify only qualified personnel have QAR or CDI SMQs.
l. (I-Level) At least once per month, verify only qualified personnel have QAR or CDI SMQs by
using the OIMA Personnel Management Subsystem to review user LOGIN IDs.
7.5 QA Inspection and Certification
7.5.1 Inspection Requirements
7.5.1.1 Only designated QA personnel (QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs) are authorized to perform
specified QA inspections. When QARs, CDQARs, or CDIs sign an inspection report, they are
certifying:
a. They personally inspected the work.
b. The work was completed in accordance with current technical manuals, instructions and
directives.
c. The work is satisfactory in all respects.
d. Any parts or components removed were properly replaced and secured.
e. The item is safe for flight, operation, or installation.
f. The WO or MAF documenting the maintenance that required QA certification is complete and
accurate.
7.5.1.2 In-process and final inspections may be conducted by CDIs except for the following
conditions:
a. A QAR or CDQAR must perform the in-process and final inspections of any task that requires
the aircraft to have an FCF per Chapter 5, regardless of whether or not an FCF is flown. For
example, if a procedure requiring an FCF that has steps A through C, and step B drives the
requirement for the FCF, a CDI may only witness steps A and C; a QAR or CDQAR must witness
and make an in-process entry for step B and must sign the final inspection.
b. A QAR or CDQAR must conduct in-process and final inspections of maintenance performed
on egress systems, personnel parachutes, and flotation devices when the affected mechanism or
function of the equipment is not re-inspected or functionally tested before flight.
c. QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs will not perform QA inspections and certifications on their own
work.
7.5.1.3 QA MRCs are provided for certain maintenance tasks that, if improperly performed, could
cause equipment failure or jeopardize the safety of personnel. The QA appearing on MRCs signifies
a QA function is required. A list of cards with QAR or CDI inspection requirements must be signed
by the MO and maintained with the applicable MRC deck or as an enclosure in the MMP.
7-9
1 Feb 2021
a. Paper MRCs will be maintained with the MRC deck behind the title card and immediately
after any IRACs.
b. For electronic MRCs, to include those residing within an IETM, an electronic copy of the
inspector level listing will be on each PEMA in a folder on the PEMA desktop.
NOTE: Fleet Squadrons that are unable to comply with electronic MRCs will use the required
procedures in the T/M/S IETMS. These procedures will be signed by the MO and
listed in the MMP.
7.5.1.4 Type Wings and MAWs will use the criteria of this chapter to determine and publish a list of
required QA inspections and the level of QA certification required (QAR or CDI) for each T/M/S
aircraft. Wing direction will include specifying how affected cards will be annotated in the master
and work center MRC decks. IMAs will publish a list of required QA inspections and the level of
QA certification required for engines, components and SE requiring QA in-process or final
inspections. The responsible aircraft or equipment Fleet Support Team (FST) will be consulted when
there is a question of whether a QAR or CDI level inspection is required.
7.5.2 Inspection Certification
7.5.2.1 General Certification Requirements
a. Completion of a QA inspection must be certified by signature, stamp, or lead crimp.
b. The Inspected By block on work orders (WO) and maintenance action forms (MAF) will only
be signed or stamped by the QAR, CDQAR, or CDI that actually inspected the work.
NOTES: 1. An individual with WO or MAF administrative certification authority may sign
the QA block on documents that do not involve an actual inspection; for example, a
control document for a phase inspection and special inspection. A control document
is an administrative certification that all QA functions associated with the inspection
were performed by designated QA inspectors and all necessary documentation was
completed, for example, look and fix phase documents, were reviewed and accepted.
2. CDIs will verify correct Work Unit Code, Malfunction Description Code, Action
Taken Code, Transaction Code, Type Maintenance code, Installed/New Item data,
and an accurate and complete Corrective Action statement prior to signing the WO
or MAF.
c. NALCOMIS activities must assign personal SMQ passwords to each individual designated as
a QAR, CDQAR, or CDI.
d. QA stamps may be used on hardcopy documents in place of signatures and initials, where use
of initials are specifically authorized. QA stamps must be closely controlled and securely stored by
QA Division. QA Inspectors will be issued a stamp with a unique identifying number. QARs,
CDQARs, or CDIs temporarily assigned to another unit will only use QA stamps issued by the TAD
unit, if designated per paragraph 7.3.5.4.
NOTES: 1. A stamp may not be reassigned to another inspector within 90 days of last use.
7-10
1 Feb 2021
2. Lead crimps used by inspectors to seal or secure inspected items must be issued
and controlled in the same manner as QA stamps.
7.5.2.2 Organizational Level (O-Level) Procedures
a. On receipt of a maintenance task that requires an in-process inspection, the inspecting QAR or
CDI is responsible for building the QA tasks into Naval Tactical Command Support System
(NTCSS) Optimized OMA NALCOMIS WOs.
b. If all in-process inspections of a maintenance action are performed by a single QA inspector,
the individual in-process inspections are not required to be documented on the WO. The Inspected
By block on the WO indicates the inspector completed all required in-process inspections and the
final inspection for the entire maintenance action.
c. When multiple in-process inspections are performed by a single QA inspector, each inspection
will be documented individually on the WO or by a single in-process annotation listing all steps
inspected, for example, “Inspected in-process steps A, B, C, D and J.”
7.5.2.3 Intermediate Level (I-Level) Procedures
a. I-level activities using NALCOMIS OIMA must assign individual SMQ passwords to each
designated QAR, CDQAR, and CDI.
NOTE: In NALCOMIS OIMA, the MAF Inspected By field is completed using the
Maintenance Activity Subsystem MAF clearing functions. These functions permit
individuals with appropriate SMQs to document their inspection and approval of the
repair action or, if necessary, reject the repair action.
b. QA stamps are required for I-level ALSS inspection records, calibration Metrology Equipment
Recall (METER) cards, and all non-NALCOMIS maintenance documents; for example, hardcopy
Visual Information Display System/Maintenance Action Forms (VIDS/MAF).
c. If all in-process inspections of a maintenance action are performed by a single QA inspector,
the individual in-process inspections are not required to be documented on the MAF. The Inspected
By block on the MAF indicates the inspector completed all required in-process inspections and the
final inspection for the entire maintenance action.
d. When multiple in-process inspections are performed by a single QA inspector, each inspection
will be documented individually on the MAF or by a single in-process annotation listing all steps
inspected, for example, “Inspected in-process steps A, B, C, D and J”.
7.5.2.4 Certification for Work by D-Level Artisans Assigned to I-Level Activity
a. Depot artisans are authorized to self-certify their own work to the extent certified to do so by
their parent D-level FRC. Certification standards and procedures must be formally agreed on, in
writing, by the CO of the D-level activity and the CO of the supported I-level activity. Artisans must
certify any in-process inspections performed during a BCMI repair, and I-level QA personnel must
perform the final RFI verification for Type II (Temporary Mandatory) verifications when all of the
following requirements are met:
7-11
1 Feb 2021
(1) Type II requirements established by the Depot FRC are involved.
(2) The work performed is solely accomplished using an I-level repair manual.
(3) The I-level has agreed to accept the Type II verification for the D-level repair.
NOTE: Type II (Temporary Mandatory). This category of verification temporarily imposes

mandatory verification requirements and may be conducted on high failure rate items,
items without objective evidence of good quality, instances where the quality level is
suspect or inadequate, or while conducting audits. Temporary mandatory verification
may also be imposed and conducted to obtain or verify statistical quality data.
Temporary Mandatory verification must be terminated when the acceptable quality
level or statistical quality data has been obtained.
b. Artisans assigned to I-level activities will receive NALCOMIS training from the activity’s
NALCOMIS Data Base Administrator (DBA), and must use NALCOMIS Optimized to document
and certify work accomplished at the I-level activity. Procedures:
(1) The DBA will initiate a generic D-level artisan logon for each artisan to populate the MAF
Corrected By field.
(2) The I-level activity’s QA Officer must review the artisan’s D-level task certifications, and
will authorize the DBA to grant the artisan the commensurate CDI and supervisor SMQ access.
NOTE: The artisan’s D-Level supervisor must provide the I-level activity QA Officer with the
artisan’s task certification records.
(3) MAFs with D-level QA verification requirements will be checked “QA REQUIRED”.
(4) Artisans will complete the Inspected By and Supervisor fields with their personal logon.
NOTES: 1. Signing the Inspected By field on the MAF signifies certification. Signing the
Supervisor field indicates the MAF has been screened for accuracy and completeness
and that QA and tool control requirements have been met.
2. In-process inspections that have multiple mandatory verification steps must be
individually documented using the in-process inspection function of NALCOMIS.
The last verification step is certified complete when the Inspected By field is signed
off.
c. If a D-level artisan is required to certify documents with a stamp imprint, the I-level activity
will issue the stamp. Artisans temporarily assigned to an I-level activity will use the certification
stamp issued by their D-level activity. Artisan stamps will be inventoried and accounted for in the
same manner as I-level activity stamps.
d. QA Officers at I-level activities must verify BCM interdicted workload identified as having a
Type I verification requirement is performed “only” by a Depot QA Specialist.
7-12
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Type I (Mandatory). This category is assigned to characteristics, which would be
classified as critical, if found defective. Verification of this category is mandatory and
must be accomplished by evaluating the product and work documentation. Sampling
of mandatory characteristics is not permissible.
7.5.2.5 QA Requirements for Transient or In-Flight Maintenance
a. During transient or in-flight maintenance, the pilot in command or the senior aircrew
maintenance person will inspect the work performed from a technical standpoint and sign for QA.
The inspector will verify:
(1) Adequate maintenance was performed to correct the discrepancy.
(2) Maintenance areas are free of foreign objects.
(3) Opened panels or doors are correctly closed.
b. If transient or in-flight maintenance involves flight safety, a QAR must re-inspect the repairs
on return to home base.
7.6 Quality Assurance Division Program Management. O-level and I-level QA Divisions are
responsible for managing the following processes:
a. NAMP Compliance Auditing per paragraph 10.7.
b. Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP) per paragraph 10.9.
c. Technical Data Management per paragraph 10.8.
d. Maintenance Department Safety per 10.41.
e. (O-Level) Vibration Analysis per 10.43.11.
f. SE Misuse/Abuse Reporting per paragraph 7.6.1.
g. Aircraft Confined Space Program per paragraph 7.6.2.
7.6.1 O-level and I-Level Support Equipment (SE) Misuse/Abuse Reporting
7.6.1.1 Misuse/abuse of SE can cause injury, ground mishaps, excessive repair and replacement
costs, and reduced operational readiness.
7.6.1.2 Reporting SE misuse/abuse is an all hands responsibility. Anyone witnessing SE
misuse/abuse will prepare and forward an SE Misuse/Abuse Form (OPNAV 4790/108) (Figure 7-6) to
the activity having reporting custody for the SE. Handwritten forms are acceptable.
7.6.1.3 QA of the activity initiating the report will:
a. Assign a control number consisting of the calendar year and a sequential number (2015-01,
followed by 2015-02, etc.).
b. Conduct an investigation and complete the front page of the OPNAV 4790/108. The
investigation must include an analysis of licensing, training, certification, maintenance procedures,
7-13
1 Feb 2021
safety precautions, and related trends as potential root causes. The Narrative Description section will
contain a detailed report of the misuse/abuse that occurred, and the results of the investigation. If the
misuse/abuse resulted in damage, the report will include an estimate of the repair or replacement cost
from the designated repair activity for each item damaged. The QA investigation and the report will
be completed within 2 working days after occurrence of the misuse/abuse.
c. When the investigation is complete, the QA Officer will sign as the Reporting Official on the
front of the OPNAV 4790/108 and forward the report to the MO for review. If the offender is
assigned to the command, the MO will direct whatever personnel action is deemed necessary, fill out
the “Action Taken/Recommended” block on the back of the OPNAV 4790/108, and sign it. If the
individual accused of misuse/abuse is assigned to another command, the MO will leave the back of
the report blank and forward the report to the offender’s command. If the SE or other items were
damaged, a copy of the report must also be forwarded to the command with reporting custody of the
damaged equipment.
d. Completed forms must be retained in electronic or hardcopy format for 2 years.
NOTES: 1. If the misuse/abuse resulted in a mishap, QA must coordinate with the Industrial
OSH Department. QA will forward the SE Misuse/Abuse Report to the Manager or
Subcustodian (Project Lead) of the equipment and to the Review Board (if
established) of the command where the misuse/abuse occurred.
2. If the offender belongs to another command, QA must forward a copy of the
completed report to the parent command.
7.6.2 Aircraft Confined Space Program (ACSP)
7.6.2.1 The objective of the ACSP is to verify a safe working environment when working on aircraft
and aeronautical equipment fuel cells and tanks.
7.6.2.2 The QA Officer will designate a QAR as the ACSP Program Manager responsible for
managing the activity’s ACSP per NAVAIR 01-1A-35.
NOTE: O-level activities with less than five Aircraft Confined Space requirements in a one-
year period may use the Entry Authority (EA) of another command. In these cases,
EA support must be documented in a naval letter memorandum of agreement signed
by both activities.
7.6.2.3 D-level FRC activities will task the OSH office with ASCP program management responsibilities
and may leverage resources towards better-suited program managers.

Chapter 8
Aircraft and Aeronautical Equipment Logbooks and Records
8.1 Introduction
8.1.1 Scope
8.1.1.1 The logbook and records requirements in this chapter pertain to aircraft and certain items
of aeronautical equipment and components installed on aircraft or used in the maintenance or
operation of aircraft and aeronautical equipment.
8.1.1.2 This chapter covers logbook and records procedures for OPNAV forms and for records
produced from NALCOMIS Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA)
Configuration Management Auto Log-sets (ALS).
8.1.2 Background
8.1.2.1 OPNAV records and forms (8.5) are the basic building blocks for aircraft and
aeronautical equipment records. The advent of OOMA and OIMA has transformed much of the
data contained in OPNAV records into electronic Auto Log-set (ALS) data. ALS significantly
reduces the administrative workload of records maintenance and reduces errors that occur when
data is manually transcribed from one record to another.
8.1.2.2 Appendix B provides information for obtaining logbook binders, forms and other
records. OPNAV forms are available on-line at https://forms.documentservices.dla.mil/order/.
8.2 General Responsibilities
8.2.1 Logbook and Record Initiation
8.2.1.1 Initial Department of the Navy (DON) Acceptance. Initiation of logbooks and records
is the responsibility of the activity originally accepting the item for the DON. When an aircraft,
engine, engine module, equipment or component has been procured under a Department of
Defense (DOD) contract and delivery is made to the DON at the contractor's plant, the cognizant
contract administrator is considered to be the original accepting activity. If the plant does not
have a resident inspector, or if the item has been procured for the DON under an Air Force or
Army contract and delivery is not made directly to the DON representative at the contractor's, the
DON representative at the delivery point is considered the original accepting activity. When an
aircraft, previously operated by the Air Force or Army, is transferred to the DON, the DON
representative at the delivery point is considered the original accepting activity. Additional
requirements:
a. The original accepting activity for an aircraft must:
(1) Initiate the aircraft logbook and the individual records, and ensure the number of
flights and flight hours since new, including those hours flown by the manufacturer, are entered
on the Monthly Flight Summary page.
(2) Create the aircraft’s Configuration Management auto log-set (CM ALS) records in the
CM Inventory Explorer. The accepting activity will coordinate with the
8-1
1 Feb 2021
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Baseline Manager to ensure all Technical Directive (TD) compliances

are listed in the applicable TD record.
b. The original accepting activity for new engines, engine modules, equipment, and
components must initiate the appropriate records. When initiation of the record is not included
in the acquisition contract, the first activity requisitioning the item from the Navy supply system
must initiate the record. The initiating activity must:
(1) Verify the engine, equipment, or component is in fact newly acquired by the DON.
(2) Initiate the record prior to use or installation.
(3) Activities using Aircraft Component Tracking System (ACTS) records must also
create the record in ACTS.
8.2.1.2 New Record Requirements for In-service Equipment. If COMNAVAIRSYSCOM
determines the need for a record for an item already in service, the PMA or FST will issue
implementation instructions via the respective ACC and revise the applicable Periodic
Maintenance Information Card (PMIC). Activities in possession of the item will then initiate the
record.
8.2.2 Organizational Level (O-level) O-level activities are responsible for maintaining the
logbooks and records for the aircraft, engines, engine modules, equipment, and components
assigned to their custody.
8.2.3 Intermediate Level (I-level) I-level maintenance activities (IMA) are responsible for
maintaining the records for assigned equipment and for the engines, equipment, and components
they inspect and repair.
8.2.4 Depot Level (D-level). D-level activities are responsible for maintaining the logbooks and
records in their possession for those aircraft, engines, engine modules, support equipment, and
components inducted into the depot facility for rework, repair, or modification.
8.2.5 Logbook Clerks and Configuration Management Auto-Log Set (CM ALS)
Administrators.
8.2.5.1 Personnel designated as Logbook Clerks or CM ALS Administrators are directly
responsible for making entries in logbooks and records. O-level and I-level personnel who
maintain logbooks and records must complete the Logs and Records Configuration Management
for Organizational and Intermediate Activities course (C-555-0059). Personnel responsible for
support equipment ALS records must complete the SE Configuration Management course (C-
555-0057). Depot activities will determine the training requirements for their logbooks and
records personnel. General responsibilities:
a. Screen all maintenance records and documents and make the required logbook and
records entries. When logbooks or related records specify a warranted item, ensure the Work
Order (WO) or Maintenance Action Form (MAF) contains appropriate warranty information in
the removed item and installed item time cycle fields.
b. Close out logbooks and records (as necessary).
8-2
1 Feb 2021
c. Complete the Entries Required Signature blocks on the WO/MAF to certify appropriate
logbook/records entries have been made or no entries are required.

seat, the records will be inserted into the appropriate ejection seat AESR.
4. The aircraft logbook will contain the Aeronautical Equipment Service Record
(AESR) for each installed equipment with an AESR. The AESR may be placed
within the aircraft logbook itself or maintained separately.
8.3.2.2 Logbook records will be documented and managed as specified in the applicable section
in 8.4 and 8.5. Records or forms other than those described in this instruction will not be
inserted, stapled, or otherwise attached to the logbook unless specifically directed by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. Data without a designated place in the logbook will be placed in a
manila envelope or plastic bag in the back of the logbook, or maintained in the aircraft’s or
equipment’s historical file. Superseded forms will be closed out with the statement "NO
FURTHER ENTRIES THIS PAGE" and a new form initiated. The superseded form will remain
in the logbook in its proper section until purged, as required by this instruction.
8.3.3 Aircraft Logbook Verification
8.3.3.1 Acceptance and Transfer Configuration Verification. Per 5.4.1, operating activities
must perform sight verification of the aircraft’s physical configuration and a review of the
aircraft’s records at time of acceptance or transfer for permanent (reporting) custody or
temporary (physical) custody, including off-site depot rework. Requirements:
a. Only those panels, doors, and areas opened for a Daily Inspection must be opened for the
configuration verification. Components that are accessible during the acceptance inspection will
be sight-verified for their commercial and government entity (CAGE) number, part number
(PN), and serial number (SERNO) and compared to the applicable hardcopy and CM ALS
aircraft records. If the sight-verification reveals significant mismatches with aircraft records, the
Maintenance Officer will determine if additional panels need to be opened to verify the
operational condition of flight-critical components.
NOTES: 1. Verified record errors found during acceptance inspection from a rework
facility will be noted on the Aircraft Delivery Deficiency Report (ADDR) per
10.9.3.3.
2. Disassembly of an F-35 aircraft beyond the daily inspection requirements to
perform configuration verification requires TYCOM approval.
b. All logbooks and records must be reviewed for complete and current data. AESR, ASR,
EHR, MSR, SRC, and ALSS records will be verified for compliance with the applicable data
elements specified in 8.4 and 8.5. Requirements:
(1) Emphasis will be placed on verifying that all scheduled or unscheduled maintenance
requirements are not past due, and verifying the remaining service life of all components having
8-11
1 Feb 2021
an established finite service life or forced removal requirement listed in the applicable aircraft
PMIC.
NOTE: Documented proof of remaining service life is required: Visual appearance and
satisfactory operation are not considered sufficient evidences of remaining
serviceability.
(2) Components that are accessible during the acceptance inspection will be sight-verified
for their commercial and government entity (CAGE) number, part number (PN), and serial
number (SERNO) and compared to the applicable hardcopy and CM ALS aircraft records. If the
sight-verification reveals significant mismatches with aircraft records, the Maintenance Officer
will determine if additional panels need to be opened to verify the operational condition of flight-
critical components.
c. To ensure uniformity in execution, Type Wings and MAWs will issue an instruction on
Acceptance and Transfer Inspection configuration verification requirements. If deemed
necessary to determine the airworthiness of flight-critical components, the Wing direction will
include mandatory opening of any panels or inspection of components beyond that accomplished
during a Daily inspection, pre-flight, and aircraft ground operation prior to flight.
8.3.3.2 CM ALS Verification. The following procedures apply to CM ALS:
a. Download and save the most recent copy on file for the following reports:
(1) ASR/SASR Component Removal Due
(2) Component Removal Due
(3) 100 % Life Remaining (Installed) reports.
b. Save the CM reports as:
(1) File name (example: BUNO 162501 or SERNO E325006)
(2) Change file as "CSV (*.csv)"
(3) Resave CSV file as an "Excel Workbook"
(4) Filter all columns
c. Verify the accuracy of all columns of the CM reports against the aircraft logbook and
AESR.
(1) Task status code (tsk_sts_cd) should either be ACTV or PEND. If SUSPEND,
research is required as to why the CM ALS task was suspended.
(2) Filter each individual Inventory Sub-classification Code (inv_subclass_cd) and
account for each line item, for example, ALSS, ASR, EHR, etc.
(3) Verify each "inv subclass_cd" against other aircraft to ensure all installed components
have removal tasks assigned. Extensive research and corrective action is required for any
shortfalls.
8-12
1 Feb 2021
8.3.3.3 Periodic Aircraft Records Verification. On a periodic basis, aircraft components with
an AESR, MSR, ASR, EHR, SRC, or ALSS record will be sight-verified for CAGE, PN, and
SERNO and compared to the applicable hardcopy and CM ALS records for accuracy.
Procedures:
a. Only those components that are accessible during O-level scheduled inspections (hourly
or calendar-based) must be verified. All items must be verified by the completion of one
complete major scheduled inspection cycle, for example within a complete Phase A/B/C/D cycle,
or within a complete 90/180/360/720 day inspection cycle. UAS Air Vehicle and Control
Station records must be verified at least once every 12 months.
b. Components that cannot be sight-verified without disassembly of the aircraft, engine,
assembly, or component beyond scheduled inspection requirements are exempt. For example, a
component with an identification plate that is not visible without removing the item, and internal
components that cannot be sighted without disassembling the item.
c. To ensure uniformity in execution, Type Wings and MAWs will issue a standardized
Aircraft Records Verification checklist that includes all items with an AESR, MSR, ASR, EHR,
SRC, or ALSS record, and all critical aircraft structures which may have life, time, or event
limits imposed via service life bulletin (SLB). Items that cannot be sight-verified will be
indicated on the checklist as “NOT REQUIRED”.
8.4 Aeronautical Equipment Service Record (OPNAV 4790/29)
8.4.1 Purpose. The Aeronautical Equipment Service Record (AESR) (Figure 8-1) serves as the
logbook for certain aircraft-installed equipment managed as end items. Aircraft engines,
propellers, ejection seats, auxiliary power units, and guns are the most common items to have an
AESR. The responsible COMNAVAIRSYSCOM program office determines which aircraft
equipment will have an AESR. The following non-aircraft equipment require an AESR:
a. Expeditionary Airfield (EAF) systems (Marine Corps Expeditionary Arresting

Gear System (MCEAGS), Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS)), High Power
Run Up (HPRU) systems, MOSLS, F-58, F-70, L-series lighting, L-95, radios and F-
series packages).
b. Magnetic minesweeping gear (MK-105).
c. Support Equipment Gas Turbine Engine (SEGTE) listed in NAVAIR NOTE 4700.
d. Engine test systems.
e. AN/AWW-13 Control Monitor Set.
f. UAS Control Stations.
g. Gas turbine power plant (7LM 1500 PB-104).
NOTE: There is no requirement for to maintain an AESR for the Air Start Unit (MSU-

4. Paper EOR must be maintained in the AESR for F404/F414 engines.
8.4.3 Custody and Maintenance
8.4.3.1 When the equipment is installed on an aircraft, the AESR is maintained concurrently
with and becomes part of the aircraft logbook. A two prong fastener will be used to bind the
AESR together when it is transferred or shipped as a separate item. DO NOT USE STAPLES.
8.4.3.2 When an item with an AESR is inducted into an I-level or D-level activity for repair or
rework, the activity performing the repair/rework is responsible for maintaining the AESR. Upon
receipt, the entire AESR must be reviewed for information pertinent to the repair/rework,
including a serial number verification. Upon completion of repair/rework, the activity will make
the required entries on applicable AESR pages to document the work performed, and will purge
the AESR per 8.2.9.
NOTE: To preclude extensive disassembly, only those accessories or components that are
exposed during required maintenance need serial number verification. The
inventory is performed using a locally prepared form containing a preprinted list
of SRC, EHR, ASR, or CM ALS components with a column provided for
recording the cage, serial numbers and part numbers of the installed items.
OOMA activities use the Life Limited Component Report PART II to verify
component cage, serial numbers, and part numbers.
8.4.3.4 Initiation. The AESR is initiated by the activity originally accepting the equipment for
the Department of the Navy (DON).
8.4.3.5 Reconstruction. Refer to 8.2.10.
8.5 OPNAV Records and Forms
NOTE: Refer to 8.6.4 for CM ALS equivalents of OPNAV records.

8.5.3.3 Aircraft Logbook Inspection Record Requirements
a. All phase inspections, special inspections, conditional inspections, and major engine
inspections (except fluid sampling, engine wash, recurring special engine inspections not
requiring NDI or disassembly/reassembly, or servicing) require Inspection Record entries by the
activity performing the inspection. This includes phase inspections certified by the depot as
performed during standard rework and those engine inspections performed as a part of the
aircraft phase inspection. Refer to 5.3 for additional information on inspections.
b. Phase inspection and conditional inspection records are maintained on separate pages.
Phase inspections are logged sequentially, for example, Phase A/(time), Phase B/(time). The
sequence is not interrupted or re-sequenced by standard rework, unless the performance of a
phase inspection is certified by the activity performing the standard rework. All phases
performed on the aircraft during a period, and the flight hours on the aircraft are entered in the
"Type or Description of Inspection" column. Phase inspection induction and completion dates
are entered in the applicable columns of the inspection record.
c. All aircraft conditional inspections must be logged. Relief from repeated logging of
conditional inspections may be requested from the cognizant Wing, CVW, or ACE Commander.
d. Aircraft acceptance and transfer inspections must be logged.
e. Inspections directed by higher authority, not directed by a TD, must be logged.
f. All MCAPPs, ASPA, and other depot aircraft service life evaluations must be logged.
g. The following inspections do not have to be logged on the Inspection Record:
(1) Routine turnaround, daily, special, servicing, engine wash, recurring special engine
inspections not requiring NDI or disassembly/reassembly, recurring special engine inspections
not requiring NDI or disassembly/reassembly and oil sampling are not logged in the Inspection
Record.
(2) Conditional fluid sampling, such as an oil sample submitted for suspected oil
contamination.
8-20
1 Feb 2021
(3) Local inspections, for example, PQDR recommendations or MO orders, shall be

documented on the Miscellaneous/History page.
8.5.3.4 AESR Inspection Record Requirements
a. Engine AESR. All phase inspections, special inspections, conditional inspections, and
major engine inspections (except fluid sampling, engine wash, recurring special engine
inspections not requiring NDI or disassembly/reassembly, or servicing) must be logged by the
activity performing the inspection. This includes those engine inspections performed as a part of
the aircraft phase inspection. Phase and major engine inspections will be logged on one page.
Special and conditional inspections will be logged on separate pages.
b. Equipment AESR. Only those inspections requiring NDI or disassembly/reassembly must
be logged on an inspection record form titled “Special”. In the case of Aircraft Phase MRCs,
log the phase only if NDI or disassembly/reassembly is directed in a phase MRC. Routine
servicing and oil sampling, turnaround inspections, and daily inspections are not logged.
NOTE: AESR equipment installed on an aircraft do not require entries for repetitive
inspections based on less than 100 flight-hour intervals. When the aircraft is
transferred or the equipment is removed and turned in or transferred to another
activity, the most recent inspection of each type and interval must be logged prior
to transfer.
8.5.3.5 Purging. D-level activities will purge the aircraft logbook and engine and equipment
AESRs for all items inducted for rework. I-levels will purge engine AESRs whenever the engine
undergoes first degree repair. The old AESR Inspection Record pages for recurring inspections
will be purged and replaced with new pages containing the data necessary to determine when the
next inspection is due. Conditional Inspection pages will be screened for items of historical or
maintenance significance. A minimum of 2 years of conditional inspection data will be
maintained in the inspection record.
8.5.4 Repair/Rework Record (OPNAV 4790/23A)
8.5.4.1 Purpose. The Repair/Rework Record (OPNAV 4790/23A) (Figure 8-6) is used in
Aircraft Logbooks and in AESRs to record I-level or D-level standard rework, repair,
conversion, modification, modernization, and reconditioning.
8.5.4.2 Fields

block.
8.5.4.3 Purging. None. This page is a permanent part of the logbook or AESR. Outdated forms
will be transcribed to new forms at the time of rework.
8.5.5 Technical Directives (OPNAV 4790/24A) Record
NOTE: TDRS LIST02 and LIST04 are used in place of the OPNAV 4790/24A form in
Aircraft Logbooks and in Engine AESRs, only. Care must be taken before
destroying Technical Directives pages. Production equivalents performed on the
aircraft by the manufacturer are not presently covered by the TDRS Program and
will not appear on the LIST02 and LIST04, therefore, any Technical Directives
page with production equivalent entries must be maintained for historical reasons.
8.5.5.1 Purpose. The Technical Directives record (Figure 8-7) is used in Aircraft Logbooks and
AESRs to record TDs on the aircraft structure or AESR basic equipment (engine, propeller, etc.)
All applicable changes and bulletins, including revisions, are recorded in this section of the
logbook or AESR with the NAVAIR 500C as the baseline. Refer to 10.10 TD Compliance
Program for management procedures.
NOTE: Cancelled, completed, or superseded TDs will not be deleted from the Technical
Directives record until the item to which the TD was incorporated has been
replaced with a new part number or has been removed due to obsolescence.
8.5.5.2 General Procedures
a. Separate pages are required for each type of TD.
b. TDs that affect a component for which an MSR, ASR, EHR, or SRC card is required are
also recorded in the TD part of that record as well as the Technical Directives record. In this
instance, the TD identification is entered and a notation to refer to the applicable MSR, ASR,
EHR, or SRC is entered in the Title/Remarks column, for example, “See (abbreviated component
nomenclature) SRC.” No other information or signature is required. The complete information
regarding the change is then entered, with authenticating signature, in the appropriate section of
the MSR, ASR, EHR, or SRC card.
c. When documenting TDs on ASR, EHR, and SRC cards, only those TDs that apply to the
respective component nomenclature are recorded, such as an accessory bulletin that applies to a
8-22
1 Feb 2021
hydraulic pump need not be recorded on a generator SRC card. Likewise, a power plant change
(PPC) that applies to an afterburner module need not be recorded on an accessory MSR. If the
TD is applicable only to a specific part number or range of part numbers, enter the directive in
the TD identification blocks, enter "NA" in the status block and the statement, "NA this PN," in
the title/remarks block.
d. Engines and engine modules inducted for I-level or D-level maintenance will have the
engine logbook screened for TD status per 10.10.3.5. Any required TD that is not incorporated
during the repair action due to a waiver or other reasons must be noted per 10.10.3.4 procedures.
e. For airframe TDs requiring one time or continuing inspections, the initial, or one time
inspection, is logged on the TD page of the logbook. Subsequent or continuing inspection
requirements are added to the MRCs as required in the basic TD. When this action has been
completed, no further entry in the Aircraft Logbook is required for that TD.
f. Production Equivalents, ECPs, and Prototype or Modification of Aircraft or Equipment.
Comply with the documentation procedures in the TD correspondence. Logbook entries will be
made as required on the appropriate TD page, Miscellaneous/History page or applicable record's
TD section.
g. Block Entry Procedures. Block entries are authorized for use by the original accepting
activity, rework activities, and I-level first-degree engine repair sites upon completion of first-
degree engine repair. The use of this type of entry provides for a consolidated accounting of TDs
when the equipment is new and upon completion of each standard rework or first-degree engine
repair. Block entries may be used only for a series of consecutively numbered TDs having the
same status code. This procedure is necessary so subsequent custodians can determine the
configuration of the aircraft without being required to screen the entire file of TDs for
applicability. Original accepting activities ensure each entry in this section is valid and is
supported by an official TD. NAVAIR 00-500C is the TD accountability baseline. All previous
TDs are part of current configuration. Block entries are authorized for use by all activities when
consolidating ASRs, EHR, MSRs and SRC cards.
NOTE: Activities with ACTS must also document TDs on applicable ACTS component
records.
8.5.5.3 Fields
Block 1 - TYPE DIRECTIVE. Enter the type of TD. Separate pages will be maintained for
each type of TD to include separate pages titled Amendments and Revisions.
NOTE: Inserting OPNAV 4790/24A Technical Directives pages titled AFB and AFC TDs,

applicable amendment.
NOTE: All applicable amendments will be logged with the exception of those listed on List
Nos. 02 and 04.
Block 5e - PT. Multiple Part TD. Some TDs consist of several parts. Accounting for
this type directive presents special problems when the separate parts are assigned different
priorities or are to be accomplished at different times. If a part number appears in the title
line of the TD, use that part number.
NOTE: To provide a standard recording procedure for this type of TD, logbook and
AESR entries are made per the following: When a TD is composed of several
parts, separate consecutive entries are made for each part indicating the priority
and status of each. A multiple part TD is not included in a block entry unless all
parts have been incorporated.
Block 5f - KIT. Enter kit number as identified in the TD; if none, enter 00. Use a
separate line for each kit.
Block 5g - PRI. Enter I for Immediate, U for Urgent, R for Routine, or K for Record

8.5.5.4 TD Status Codes
INC. Identifies a TD that has been completely incorporated. A complete entry is required.
Use block entries when possible. Enter basic number, status, activity, date and signature. The
date is considered the date of acceptance or the date of overhaul. Examples of INC block entries:
(1) When a change is incorporated during production and a TD is issued, the assigned
TD number is entered as INC and the notation "Production Equivalents" is entered for a block of
incorporated changes in the title/remarks column, for example, an entry may be 120-155 INC. If
the production equivalent changes are included within this block, the title/remarks column might
contain the notation "129, 139, 152, Production Equivalents.” These changes often differ
physically from changes issued to field and operating activities and require this notation to avoid
confusion. A separate page will be used to log all ECPs. All incorporated ECPs must be entered
numerically, using the block entry procedure and remain as a permanent logbook entry.
(2) When a series of incorporated TDs is entered in block form, the next line is used for
listing subsequently issued, not incorporated revisions to TDs included within the entry. The
notation "Revisions to above block entries" appears on this line and the listing of revisions will
follow. Operating activities also use this line for listing revisions that are subsequently issued to
TDs within the block entry. The actual records of status and compliance are entered on the pages
designated revisions.
NINC. A temporary entry made in pencil to identify a TD that has been issued but not
incorporated, including TDs that are only partially incorporated. It is not necessary to assign
codes to denote reasons for non-incorporation.
PINC. Identifies TDs that were previously incorporated.
NA. Identifies a TD that does not apply to the particular aircraft, engine, or equipment.
Enter TD identification, status code, activity and signature. A brief notation is made in the
title/remarks column to indicate non-applicability, for example, previous models only or not this
BUNO. Use block entries when possible. Only the TD identification, activity and signature are
required. When a new version of the same model aircraft is produced, it is the responsibility of
the original accepting activity to account for changes to the original model by making a logbook
entry. For example, 1-155 NA, and the notation "PPCs 1-155 are now part of current
configuration or apply to another T/M/S", in the title/remarks column. This entry ensures all
TDs in the model series are accounted for and cites by number, either those TDs not applying to
the new version, or those considered part of the current configuration. The entry is not to be
construed as indicating the modifications prescribed by the TDs contained within the block entry
may not have been included in the production models of the new version.
NIS. Identifies a TD that has not been issued, will not be issued, or have not been received.
This entry is made in pencil unless it is determined the TD will not be issued, in which case a
8-26
1 Feb 2021
permanent entry is made. Enter TD identification and status code. No other information or
signature is required.
CANX. Identifies a TD that was issued, but was cancelled prior to incorporation. Enter TD
identification, status code, activity, and signature. No title of the TD is required; however, the
cancelling reference should be noted in the title block. When a TD has been incorporated and is
later cancelled, the TD status code remains INC. Use block entries when possible. Only activity
and signature are required.
Q. Identifies a TD that was removed after incorporation. Refer to 8.5.5.5.
8.5.5.5 Documenting TD Removal. TD removal will be documented in the same manner as TD
incorporation. The TD page will be annotated in the following manner:
a. When documenting the removal and reinstallation of a TD on an item with an MSR, ASR,
EHR, or SRC, a notation referring to the applicable TD section of that record.
b. Draw a single line through the TD status code (Block 6), enter TD Status Q in the same
block, with initials of the person authorized in writing to sign logbooks and records.
c. Make an entry on the Miscellaneous/History page. Specify the reason for removal,
authority, location of parts removed and other pertinent information.
d. When reinstalling a removed TD, document as a normal TD incorporation. Make a
complete TD entry on the appropriate TD page. Reinstallation will not be logged in the
Amendment or Revisions page.

8.5.6 Miscellaneous/History (OPNAV 4790/25A)
8.5.6.1 Purpose. The Miscellaneous/History Record (Figure 8-8) is used to record significant
information for which there is no other section provided in the aircraft logbook or AESR. The
aircraft logbook Miscellaneous History records significant information such as abnormal flight
characteristics: peculiar troubles of an undetermined nature; damage to the aircraft; major
structural component replacements not logged elsewhere in the logbook (control surfaces, tail
sections, etc.); historical data; authorization for service period extension, PED and operational
service months (OPSERMOS) adjustment; verification of flight hours in period and since new
when the aircraft is accepted or transferred; and exposure to large quantities of salt water, fire
extinguishing agents, or other corrosive elements. The Miscellaneous History form may also be
used to record serial number information concerning research and development and bailment
aircraft, for example, special modifications or special testing. The AESR Miscellaneous History
records pertinent information affecting the equipment for which no other place has been
provided within the AESR. Examples include: Special test data; abnormal characteristics;
significant damage and repair; NOAP entries; authorization for extension of operating intervals;
verification of operating hours when the equipment is accepted or transferred; and exposure to
large quantities of salt water, fire extinguishing agents, or other corrosive elements.

8.5.8 Installed Explosive Device Record (OPNAV 4790/26A)
NOTES: 1. The possibility of transferring certain equipment from one aircraft to another
during standard rework and replacement during periods of scheduled
maintenance emphasizes the necessity for careful and periodic checking of this
record regarding the status of the explosive devices currently installed in the
aircraft or equipment.
2. The Installed Explosives Report is used to view detailed information for
multiple explosive devices installed on aircraft, equipment, and components. The
report includes the following columns: DODIC, Location/Nomenclature, Location
Code, Lot Number, P/N, SERNO, NHA P/N, NHA SERNO, Shelf-life months and
Installed-life months.
8.5.8.1 Purpose . The Installed Explosive Device Record (Figure 8-10) is used in aircraft
logbooks and AESRs as a record of all explosive devices. Explosive devices installed in the
aircraft structure are recorded in the Installed Explosive Device Record section of the aircraft
logbook. Explosive devices in aircraft-installed equipment requiring an AESR are recorded in
the appropriate AESR. For example, explosive devices installed in ejection seats or in-flight
refueling stores must be recorded in the Installed Explosive Device Record of the item’s AESR.
Explosive devices installed in personnel parachutes are recorded on the Parachute Record
(OPNAV 4790/101). Explosive devices installed in other safety and survival equipment must be
recorded on the Seat Survival Kit Record (OPNAV 4790/137) or Aircrew Systems Record
(OPNAV 4790/138). Explosive cartridges and devices used to effect stores separation are not
required to be documented in this record unless specifically directed for a particular application.
8.5.8.2 The VFS CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD module generated Installed Explosive Devices
Record (OPNAV 4790/26A) is authorized for all activities having custody of or performing
rework on the aircraft or equipment in which explosive devices are installed. The VFS
8-31
1 Feb 2021
CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD Module Installed Explosive Device Record must be maintained in
a current status by all activities having custody of or performing rework on the aircraft or
equipment in which explosive devices are installed. Records for installed devices will be kept in
the aircraft logbook or AESR, as appropriate, and anywhere else the MO designates.
8.5.8.3 Fields

month (YYMMDD) the container was opened.
Block B9 - INST DATE. Enter the year, month and last day of the month (YYMMDD) the
device was installed.
Block B10 - EXPIRE DATE. The VFS CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD Module computes
year, month, and last day of the month (YYMMDD) of expiration, and is the preferable
method for computing CADPAD expiration dates. Both the shelf life and installed life of the
item are computed to determine the expiration date. Refer to the individual CAD or PAD
data for each DODIC to determine the applicability of installed life to each device. Shelf
life is the period of time, beginning from the date of manufacture that a CAD or PAD can
remain in its environmentally sealed container and still be serviceable. The shelf life
expiration date is computed from the date of manufacture as listed for the lot number for the
assembled device. Installed life is the period of time a CAD or PAD can be used after its
environmentally sealed container is opened; however, the installed life expiration date
should not exceed the shelf life expiration date. The installed life expiration date is
computed from the date the environmentally sealed container is opened and is always
computed to the last day of the month involved.
NOTE: NAVAIR 11-100-1.1-CD directs the method for computing the expiration date of
explosive devices and the number of months or years a specific device may remain
in service. When installed explosive devices are granted an extension, the VFS
CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD Module will be updated electronically and a new
Installed Explosive Device Record (OPNAV/26A) must be generated. The
authority granting the extension, for example, message originator and DTG or
official service life extension number, will be posted electronically in the LOCAL
USE block.
LOCAL USE. Any explosive device on an extension must be recorded in the Local Use
block, including the authorization for the extension. This block is also used for any
information in the device that is not recorded in other fields that the user feels is necessary to
fully describe the condition or history of the item.
8.5.8.4 Removal or Replacement of Devices. When a device is removed and a like item is not
reinstalled, a single red line will be drawn through the entire old device line entry and VFS
CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD Module database updated to reflect changes (a new record will
not be generated). When like items are reinstalled, the VFS CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD
Module database must be updated to reflect changes and a new record must be generated.
8.5.8.5 Purging. The rework activity must verify all information during off-site standard rework
of the aircraft or AESR equipment and generate a new record, if needed. Old pages may be
destroyed locally when a new record is generated.

8.5.11 Module Service Record (OPNAV 4790/135)
8.5.11.1 Purpose. The Module Service Record (MSR) (Figure 8-13) is a four-page foldable
record used with modular-constructed aircraft engines; for example: T56, T400, T700, F404, and
F414 engines. Each module of the engine has a separate MSR. MSRs are logbook-type records
comprised of the following individual OPNAV records:
Module Service Record (OPNAV 4790/135) (Figure 8-13)
Assembly Service Record (OPNAV 4790/106A) (Figures 8-14)
Equipment History Record (EHR) Card (OPNAV 4790/113) (Figure 8-16)
Scheduled Removal Component Card (OPNAV 4790/28A) (Figure 8-17)
a. If the module is installed, the MSR is maintained concurrently with and becomes part of
the engine AESR. If the module is uninstalled, a paper copy of the MSR will be attached to and
accompany the module whenever transferred.
NOTE: 1. Activities using ACTS will make all entries in ACTS
(https://fleetmetrics.navair.navy.mil/ACTS/ ). Records will be printed from ACTS
and placed into the paper aircraft logbook or equipment AESR. The serial
number is now included on both sides of the printed record. Pen or pencil entries
on hardcopy ACTS records are not required except for documenting “NINC” in
Section V - Technical Directives.
2. When replacing a non-ACTS record with a newly printed record from ACTS,
the replaced non-ACTS record will be mailed to the Repository that is listed in the
applicable T/M/S aircraft or engine PMIC.
3. Activities with ACTS that accept new modules must also initiate the MSR
record in ACTS. If a hardcopy OPNAV 4790/135 MSR was not received with the
new module, contact the FST for assistance by sending an email via the HELP
menu.
8-36

8.5.12 Assembly Service Record (OPNAV 4790/106A)
8.5.12.1 Purpose. The Assembly Service Record (ASR) (Figure 8-14), is a two-page form to
record data on assemblies with rework or overhaul life limits and subassemblies designated to be
removed and discarded.
NOTE: 1. Activities using ACTS will make all entries using ACTS
(https://fleetmetrics.navair.navy.mil/ACTS/). Records will be printed from ACTS
and placed into the paper aircraft/equipment logbook. The serial number is now
included on both sides of the printed record. Pen or pencil entries on hardcopy
ACTS records are not required except for documenting “NINC” in Section V-
Technical Directives.
2. When replacing a newly printed record from ACTS, the replaced non-ACTS
record will be mailed to the Repository that is listed in the applicable T/M/S
aircraft or engine PMIC.
a. Initiation. Initiation of an ASR for components installed on or delivered with aeronautical
equipment, for example, components installed on aircraft and engines as part of a DOD contract,
is the responsibility of the activity accepting the equipment for the DON. When components are
delivered to the DON at the contractor's plant, the cognizant DON representative is considered to
8-43
1 Feb 2021
be the original accepting activity. Original accepting activities with ACTS will also initiate the
ASR record in ACTS. However, ASR records that have not been created at the contractor
facility or I-level command now requiring creation at an O-Level command will need to contact
the FST by sending an email via the ACTS HELP menu.
NOTE: If a new component is delivered without an ASR, the requisitioning activity is
responsible for initiating the ASR.
b. Reconstruction. If an ASR is lost or unreadable, contact the CMIS Repository
(8.2.10.2.i).
c. When an ASR is no longer needed due to a change in the PMIC, reporting custodians will
send the affected ASRs to the CMIS Repository (8.2.10.2.i) for purging of the master file. The
PMIC change authorizing deletion must be annotated on the ASR in Section VI Repair, Rework,
Overhaul, or Exceedances. Activities using ACTS do not have to forward a copy of ASR card to
CMIS. The FST will update PMIC information within ACTS.

1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. Activities using ACTS will make all entries in ACTS

(https://fleetmetrics.navair.navy.mil/ACTS/). Records will be printed from
ACTS and placed into the paper aircraft logbook or equipment AESR. The
serial number is now included on both sides of the printed record. Pen or pencil
entries on hardcopy ACTS records are not required except for documenting
“NINC” in Section VI - Technical Directives.
2. When replacing a non-ACTS record with a newly printed record from ACTS,
the replaced non-ACTS record will be mailed to the Repository listed in the
applicable T/M/S aircraft or engine PMIC.
b. Initiation. SRC card initiation for components installed on or delivered with major
aeronautical equipment, for example, aircraft and engines as part of a DOD contract, is the
responsibility of the activity accepting the equipment for the DON. When these components are
delivered to the DON at the contractor's plant, the cognizant DON representative is considered to
be the original accepting activity. When SRC card requirements are not included in the Navy
contract, SRC card initiation for new components drawn from the Navy supply system will be
the responsibility of the requisitioning activity. Activities with ACTS must create the initial
SRC record in ACTS.
c. Loss of an SRC card can cause the loss of the assembly as an RFI asset. If an SRC card is
lost or unreadable, the activity having custody of the item must initiate a new card with all
available information. If an accurate history of the item cannot be established, the CMIS
Repository (8.2.10.2.i) has the responsibility to determine the required course of action and
provide guidance on disposition of the item.

(OPNAV 4790/137), Aircrew Systems Record (OPNAV 4790/138), and Aircrew Personal
Equipment Record (OPNAV 4790/159) are used to document information on ALSS equipment.
NOTE: ALSS items are identified by “YP” series Type Equipment Codes (TEC). Items
with other than “YP” series TEC are not ALSS and do not require an Aircrew
Equipment Record (AER), Non-“YP” series TEC items are considered aircraft
inventory and only require ALS. Examples of non-“YP” series TEC items include
fire extinguishers and panel mounted first aid kits.
8.5.15.2 General Procedures. The following general procedures apply to all of these records:
8-59
1 Feb 2021
a. Activities operating NALCOMIS OOMA must use OOMA Aircrew Equipment Record
(AER) auto log sets (ALS) to generate records for all ALSS assemblies and components. The
Aircrew Equipment/Personal Record generated in NALCOMIS OOMA contains all pertinent
information and meets all ALSS record requirements.
NOTE: NALCOMIS OOMA activities are not authorized to use Virtual Fleet Support
(VFS) CADPAD and TRACE LIFE SUPPORT MODULE or SURVIVAL
EQUIPMENT ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM (SEATS).
b. Non-OOMA sea going commands are authorized to use SEATS; non-OOMA shore
commands are authorized to use the VFS CADPAD and TRACE LIFE SUPPORT MODULE for
generating ALSS records.
c. Depots will use the VFS CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD and TRACE LIFE SUPPORT
Modules. The use of VFS CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD and TRACE LIFE SUPPORT
Modules are mandatory. Depot FRCs must update the VFS CADPAD, TRACE CADPAD, and
TRACE LIFE SUPPORT Module data bases with all changes and electronically transfer custody
to the receiving command upon completion or rework/repair cycle
d. When an ALSS item has been involved in an aircraft mishap, the current record for the
item must be forwarded with the aircraft records, per OPNAVINST 3750.6 and NAVAIR 13-1-
6.3.
8.5.15.3 Parachute Record (OPNAV 4790/101)
8.5.15.3.1 Purpose. The Parachute Record (Figure 8-18) contains information on the current
configuration and inspection record of a parachute assembly and its components.
8.5.15.3.2 Initiation and Maintenance
a. The activity placing the parachute in service must initiate the record.
b. The record must be securely attached to the parachute assembly when issued. The activity
receiving the parachute must review the record for complete and accurate information. All
discrepancies must be resolved with the issuing activity prior to acceptance. Ensure electronic
receipt of the associated NALCOMIS OOMA ALS, and verify the ALS is also complete and
accurate.
c. Upon installation of the parachute assembly, the record must be forwarded to Logs and
Records for insertion in the aircraft logbook or ejection seat AESR. In OOMA enter the aircraft
BUNO/SERNO in the BUNO/SERNO field. This enables electronic transfer of the parachute
record when the aircraft it is installed in is transferred to another command.
d. The record must accompany the parachute assembly any time it is removed and sent to the
supporting I-level for inspection or maintenance.
e. The I-level activity must initiate a new record each time the parachute is inducted for
repack or maintenance. Upon verification of the new record by the I-level QAR, CDQAR, or
CDI, the old record may be destroyed.

8.6.1.4 CM Management Module.
The CM Management Module is a general-purpose life usage and serialized configuration
tracking system for multiple weapon system types. The CM Module’s baseline data is
modifiable only by the baseline data owner. CM tracks usage parameters and TD compliance,
schedules WOs, and provides the capability to have an owner that may be different than the user
of an item. CM supports general classes of inventory using Assy Cd, WUC, and specific classes
of inventory using CAGE, P/N, NIIN, and cost. CM is updated using the maintenance and flight
module (MU, HUMS, SMART cards, etc.) (O-level only) in OOMA. Chapter 13 provides
additional information on the following CM ALS Module features and functions:
a. WAN Explorer displays site database servers of Navy and Marine Corps sites. These sites
are separated into two groups: East Coast and West Coast. TYCOM activities (AIMDs,
squadrons, etc.) are tied together geographically.
b. Group Explorer is used to receive and transfer aircraft and equipment. It is divided into
two areas: The left side consists of the Inbox, Outbox, Sent (Items) and the organization
(Primary) and its detachments. The right side consists of tabs or data pages displaying
information for the selected organization or group in the tree view.
c. Inventory Explorer provides the top to bottom breakdown of the aircraft, equipment and
components. The Inventory Explorer has the following tabs:
8-78

8-79
1 Feb 2021
g. Drag and Drop. The drag and drop option allows removal and installation actions for
assemblies and components. The following procedures must be complied with to ensure proper
documentation is completed:
(1) I-level and D-level activities must use the drag and drop option as the primary means
for updating assembly inventory trees on assemblies inducted for repair or rework such as
engines and APUs. IMAs will ensure that a valid MAF documenting the removal/installation of
components on an assembly has been completed within the NALCOMIS Optimized Intermediate
Maintenance Activity (OIMA) system.
(2) O-level activities will only use Drag and Drop when a WO cannot be used, for
example, administrative corrections for erroneously installed ALS by another command.
Whenever Drag and Drop is utilized in place of a WO at the O-level, an entry must be made in
the notes section of the ALS by personnel designated to sign logs and records.
NOTE: AMCM squadrons are authorized to use the drag and drop option to build
AMCM weapons systems sets for initial configuration of uninstalled AMCM
weapons systems. Installation of AMCM weapons systems on the aircraft will be
documented on a WO per Chapter 15 procedures.
8.6.2 CM ALS Management
8.6.2.1 General Management
a. CM ALS will be the primary source of aircraft, engine, engine modules, equipment and
component records for activities using OOMA or OIMA. Activities must maintain and update
the CM ALS records of all naval aircraft, engines and equipment in their physical custody.
b. CM ALS will be maintained by Maintenance Control (O-level), Production Control (I-
level) or Maintenance Administration Work Center (Marine Corps). O-level MMCOs or AAMO
(Marine Corps) and I-level Production Control Officers are responsible for ensuring CM ALS is
being properly documented. For contract maintenance, the on-site contract support liaison
officer will ensure verification of CM ALS records per the User Logistic Support Summary
(ULSS) and the Contract Data Requirements List (DD 1423).
8.6.2.2 CM ALS Administrator
The CM ALS Administrator is the primary manager of CM ALS. The CM ALS Administrator
must have an in-depth working knowledge of CM ALS procedures and baseline management.
The CM ALS Administrator will be assigned to Maintenance Control, Production Control, or
Maintenance Administration (Marine Corps). Commercial activities and Depot FRCs will assign
the CM ALS Administrator as deemed most efficient to their operations. In addition to the basic
logbook and record responsibilities of 8.2.5, CM ALS Administrators are responsible for the
following CM ALS actions:
a. Perform CM ALS transfers and receipts per 8.6.3.4.
b. Ensure all engine CM ALS is accurate in the Engine Configuration Baseline.
c. Conduct verifications per 8.3.3 and resolve any discrepancies.
8-80
1 Feb 2021
d. Monitor service life accumulations and keep Maintenance Control/Production Control

informed of high time items using the CM Maintenance Near Due Removal/Component Report,
CM Component Removal Due Report and CM Percent Life Remaining Report.
e. Submit Baseline Trouble Reports (BTR) per paragraph 10.9.
f. Process approved configuration baseline changes.
g. Screen WOs and MAFs and ensure CM ALS record entries are made.
h. Track warranty components in CM. Warranty information is located in the inventory
properties of CM.
i. Screen, close out, and move ALS to the OUTBOX at time of aircraft, engine, equipment,
or component transfer.
j. Provide Material Control with the nomenclature, PN, S/N and document number for any
ALS transferred or received via external media, such as e-mail or CD.
k. Submit Aircraft Inventory Readiness Reporting System (AIRRS) XRAY reports and
Engine Transaction Reports (ETR) per 9.1.3 and 9.1.4.
l. Perform administrative actions for aircraft acceptance and transfer per 5.4.
m. Each working day, screen all folders under Inventory Explorer for any non-life-limited or
non-repairable item CM ALS that are no longer in the activity’s custody and transfer them to the
“NON-REPAIRABLE ALS (PENDING DELETIONS)” sub-folder. At least once per week, the
SA/A will screen the “NON-REPAIRABLE ALS (PENDING DELETIONS)” sub-folder and
delete unnecessary CM ALS. I-level activities will delete CM ALS for non-life-limited/non-
repairable items no longer in their custody.
n. I-level administrators must review the OIMA CM BCM folder and subfolders monthly
and remove CM ALS no longer in the activity’s custody. Only CM ALS records for life limited
and repairable components, identified in the T/M/S PMIC, will be transferred to OMAWHOLE
(WHO, PAXRIVER). All other CM ALS will be deleted using the OOMA software inventory
delete process.
8.6.2.3 Aviation Life Support System (ALSS) Groups
IMA 800 Divisions will create an ALSS group in OOMA Group Explorer. Procedures:
a. At a minimum, an ALSS (NRFI) group and an ALSS (RFI) group will be created with
sub-groups for each squadron supported, for example: VAQ-132, VAQ-133, and VAQ-135.
Sub-groups for IMA work centers or individual types of assets may be created based upon the
organizational needs of the activity.
b. The ALS for assets inducted into the IMA for maintenance will be filed in the ALSS
(NRFI) group and squadron sub-group. Once RFI, the ALS will be moved to the ALSS (RFI)
group and appropriate squadron sub-group.
c. When an ALSS item is issued, the corresponding ALS will be transferred to the receiving
activity OOMA database along with a hardcopy printout of the related Aircrew Equipment
8-81
1 Feb 2021
Record (AER) and completed OIMA MAF. The issuing IMA will sign and annotate the date
issued and next scheduled removal date on the lower right side of the AER.
NOTE: If issuing an ALSS asset to an activity that does not operate OOMA, the
corresponding ALS will be moved to the receiving activity group in the issuing
IMA’s OIMA database. The ALS will be maintained in the squadron’s subgroup
until the next inspection comes due as tracked by issue date.
d. Squadrons will obtain an electronic copy of all ALSS ALS in the squadron’s custody,
including ALSS pool items issued for detachment/deployment. Upon reporting to the
detachment/deployment site, the squadron will turn the ALS into the supporting IMA. The
receiving IMA will upload the ALS into their database and place it in the appropriate group and
subgroup. Upon return to homeport, the squadron will return the ALS for their squadron-owned
assets and the ALSS pool assets to the homeport supporting IMA.
NOTES: 1. A print out of the RFI ALSS asset ALS and completed MAF/WO will be
maintained with the RFI asset and issued with the gear to the receiving squadron.

8.6.2.4 D-Level Activity OOMA CM ALS Responsibilities.
D-level activities have the following OOMA CM ALS responsibilities for aircraft, engines,
engine modules, and equipment in their physical custody:
a. Use the OOMA drag and drop feature to manage assemblies and components within the
aircraft/asset inventory tree.
b. Maintain OOMA CM ALS and ensure all life, time, or event limited structures and
components are accurately maintained and updated to reflect maintenance performed.
c. Create CM ALS if an aircraft, engine, engine module, component, or assembly has no
history of an existing CM ALS. If an aircraft, engine, component, or assembly is received
without an OOMA CM ALS, every effort will be made to locate CM ALS by contacting the
transferring activity or performing a search of the OMA wholesale server. If the appropriate CM
ALS is not available, the D-level activity must create the OOMA CM ALS using paper records.
At a minimum, all life-limited items listed in the PMIC must have an OOMA CM ALS created
prior to a change in physical custody.
d. If a non-OOMA aircraft in rework is scheduled for post-rework delivery to a non-OOMA
squadron, the D-level activity must maintain logbooks in the legacy format in which it was
received.
e. If replacement items are received from a squadron, as part of the 7R Process (out of scope
of D-level specifications being performed), the squadron is responsible for ensuring the correct
CM ALS for the item is transferred to the D-level activity that will perform the installation.
f. Perform configuration verification of all life, time, or event limited structures and
components, per the procedures of 8.3.3.
8-82

NOMENCLATURE NUMBER INTERVAL REMARKS
Servocylinder X2330-10 Overhaul 1800 hrs Note 1
Trunnion Assembly X2450-15 Overhaul 4200 hrs Note 2
Housing Assembly X2550-20 Retire 5700 hrs Note 2
Notes: 1. Assembly Service Record, OPNAV 4790/106A, applies.
2. Subassembly of Assembly Service Record item.
Procedures for Determining Replacement Due and Time Remaining Entries:
1. Screen the Section II, III, IV and VI entries to determine which component has the least amount of
operating time remaining.
a. Trunnion assembly is authorized 4200 hours operating time between overhaul and currently has 0
hours operating time since overhaul; therefore, it can be operated for 4200 hours.
b. Housing assembly is authorized a total service life of 5700 hours before it must be retired and
currently has 4000 hours time since new accumulated; therefore, it can be operated for 1700 hours.
c. Servocylinder assembly is authorized 1800 hours operating time between overhauls and currently
has 0 operating time since overhaul; therefore, it can be operated 1800 hours.
2. In this example, the housing assembly becomes the limiting factor when determining the replacement
due time for the assembly. The replacement due for the assembly is based on the 1700 hours of operating
time remaining for the housing assembly, which is added to the aircraft time since new at time of
assembly installation. 8975 + 1700 = Replacement Due at 10,675.

CHAPTER 9
Aircraft Inventory Management and Material Condition Reporting
9.1 DECKPLATE Aircraft Inventory and Readiness Reporting System (DECKPLATE-

AIRRS)
9.1.1 Purpose
DECKPLATE-AIRRS is the Navy’s official program of record for inventory accounting of Navy
and Marine Corps aircraft. Aircraft are subject to DECKPLATE-AIRRS reporting from the time
of initial procurement and throughout their service life until final disposition (removal) from the
naval aircraft inventory. The importance of complete, accurate and timely DECKPLATE-
AIRRS reporting cannot be overemphasized. DECKPLATE-AIRRS provides the Offices of the
Secretary of Defense, the Department of the Navy (DON) and subordinate commands with
comprehensive current and historical data on the Navy and Marine Corps aircraft inventory’s
location, status, and service in sufficient depth to serve as a basis for naval aviation inventory
management, planning and budgeting processes at all command echelons.
9.1.2 Management
9.1.2.1 OPNAV (N98) directs policy and procedures for the management of active and inactive
aircraft inventories in SECNAVINST 5442.3, which relies on DECKPLATE-AIRRS as the
primary means of inventory accounting. OPNAV (N98) DECKPLATE-AIRRS responsibilities:
a. Direct and fund the management of DECKPLATE-AIRRS website and database.
b. Chair the semi-annual aircraft strike board. NAVSUP WSS will host. Prior to
commencement of the board meeting, OPNAV N98 will solicit aircraft strike recommendations
and dispositions from the ACCs. OPNAV N98 will consolidate the strike recommendations and
provide a list of proposed dispositions. The strike board will review the list, make adjustments
as necessary, and submit a proposed strike list with recommended disposition to OPNAV N98.
OPNAV N98 and NAVSUP WSS must agree to all aircraft strike dispositions.
c. Approve and release all strike authorizations, disposition changes and strike revocation
messages, except when an aircraft is to be stricken from the inventory due to loss or damage to the
extent that restoration is uneconomical or militarily impractical. In these cases, the designated
Aircraft Controlling Custodian (ACC) may authorize the aircraft to be stricken.
d. Issue BUNOs for newly acquired aircraft as requested by NAVAIR ACC.
9.1.2.2 COMNAVAIRSYSCOM
a. NAVAIR Logistics Information Technology (LOG IT) is responsible for managing the
DECKPLATE-AIRRS database.
b. NAVAIR ACC is responsible for:
9-1
1 Feb 2021
(1) Requesting OPNAV N98 issue BUNOs for newly acquired aircraft. For new
production aircraft, NAVAIR ACC will request OPNAV N98 issue consecutive BUNOs for
assignment to contracts, and pass the BUNOs via the Program Manager to the activity accepting
the aircraft for the Navy. Aircraft acquired from other than new production will also have a
BUNO assigned. Preliminary negotiations for addition of the aircraft to the Naval inventory will
include assignment of a BUNO by CNO (N980L). The Program Office involved in acquiring the
aircraft will provide the original delivery date of the aircraft to OPNAV (N980L). Aircraft
procured by the Navy for other U.S. Government agencies or MAP/FMS agreements generally
do not enter the Navy inventory. If required, BUNOs are assigned for production control
purposes only.
(2) Verifying the service age of aircraft that are accepted into the DON inventory from
Non-DOD activities, and ensuring the service age of the aircraft is entered into AIRRS. The
service age is established by the date of the aircraft’s initial acceptance into the naval inventory
as listed on the Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD Form 250).
(3) Submitting the Action Code – A (Acceptance) XRAY for all new production aircraft
entering the naval aircraft inventory.
(4) Submitting the Action Code – Y (Reinstatement) XRAY for:
(a) Reinstatement of any previously stricken aircraft
(b) Addition of a used (not new production) aircraft being accepted into the Navy
inventory from another Service or Organization
(c) Aircraft that have been pre-accepted using Action Code P
(5) Acting as the Reporting Custodian for aircraft loaned to non-DON activities. When
physical transfer actually occurs, the receiving non-DON activity will inform NAVAIR ACC by
naval letter listing the date of transfer, model, BUNO, and name and address of recipient. The
letter must provide references to all authorizing directives and include copies of the contractual
agreement. Upon receipt of the letter, NAVAIR ACC will submit an XRAY receiving the
aircraft into NASC FS controlling custody in the appropriate loan status code.
NOTE: ACCs and reporting custodians will not enter into aircraft loan agreements to non-
DON activities without CNO (N980L) authorization.
9.1.2.3 Aircraft Controlling Custodians (ACC)
a. ACCs are the primary managers of the naval aircraft inventory. The following matrix lists
the ACCs for purposes of aircraft inventory reporting within DECKPLATE-AIRRS, only, and in
no way alters naval administrative or command relationships. Table 1 lists the ACCs and their
DECKPLATE-AIRRS title.

NOTE: NASC FS is the responsible ACC for pre-accepted aircraft (aircraft that have
not been brought into the AIRRS inventory database, but are supporting a Navy
acquisition plan or program), and miscellaneous aircraft, such as aircraft operated by
contractors for testing and developmental prior to the final DD-250 and Navy
acceptance. These aircraft will not be included in the active inventory, but they will be
tracked under NAVAIR FS custody command code 72 for automated inventory
tracking/visibility.

c. ACCs will:
(1) Monitor Reporting Custodians for compliance with the reporting requirements of this
chapter and OPNAVINST 3110.11.
(2) Issue instruction(s) Aircraft Transfer Order (ATO) procedures for permanent or
temporary transfer of aircraft custody.
(3) Issue instructions on aircraft readiness reporting procedures to provide full visibility
of aircraft material condition and factors that impact aircraft operational readiness.
9-3
1 Feb 2021
(4) Monitor and verify the accuracy of aircraft operational status reporting.
(5) Obtain prior authorization from CNO (N980L) for aircraft transferring to and from
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
(6) Comply with DOD Directive 1225.06 for the transfer of aircraft from Reserve
component to Active component.
(7) Publish procedures for Type Wings and MAWs to authorize temporary transfers of
aircraft between reporting custodians within the wing, via Aircraft Transfer Letter (ATL).
(8) Monitor XRAY reports for reporting custodians under their cognizance.
(9) Inspect Work Orders (WO) for correct Up/Down/Partial (U/P/D) indication and
correct Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) coding during squadron Aviation Maintenance
Inspections (AMI).
9.1.2.4 Type Wings and Marine Air Wings (MAW)
a. Coordinate aircraft transfers with COMNAVAIRFOR Aircraft Class Desks.
b. Monitor squadron XRAYs and direct corrective action for discrepancies.
c. Provide training to activities on DECKPLATE-AIRRS reporting procedures, as needed.
d. Ensure squadrons submit accurate Aircraft Material Condition Reports (AMCR).
e. Inspect WOs for correct aircraft Up/Partial/Down (U/P/D) indication and correct EOC
coding during squadron Maintenance Program Assessments (MPA).
9.1.2.5 Reporting Custodians
Units designated as aircraft reporting custodians are the initial source of all data required by this
instruction. Reporting custodians are those Navy, Marine Corps and commercial contractors
assigned custody of aircraft for purposes of flight, repair/rework or storage. From initial
acceptance to final disposition, each aircraft is simultaneously in the custody of one reporting
custodian and one ACC. Reporting custodians are established or disestablished at the direction
of the ACC. The ACC requests an Organization Code (ORG) and a Permanent Unit Code (PUC)
as part of unit activation preparations. Once assigned, regardless of any changes in the
Reporting Custodian's mission, location, or administrative affiliation, the PUC will never change.
CNO (N98) manages PUC assignments and COMNAVAIRFOR assigns ORG codes upon ACC
request. A squadron detachment becomes a Reporting Custodian when directed by the ACC and
assigned a different PUC and ORG Code from the parent squadron.
NOTE: Defense Contract Management Activity (DCMA) is the Reporting Custodian for
all pre-accepted new production aircraft.
9-4
1 Feb 2021
9.1.3 DECKPLATE-AIRRS Reporting
9.1.3.1 General Requirements
a. DECKPLATE-AIRRS reports are required for all fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, and
all Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) (Group 3 and above). Aircraft become subject to
DECKPLATE-AIRRS reporting upon acceptance or reinstatement by the Department of the
Navy, and remain so until stricken, transferred to non-DON agencies, sold or disposed of.
NOTES: 1. Group 1 and 2 UAS are exempt from DECKPLATE AIRRS reporting.
Refer to COMNAVAIRFORINST 3710.9 for reporting requirements.
2. For Group 3 and above UAS tracked by the System BUNO instead of the
unmanned air vehicle (UAV) BUNO, the System is subject to DECKPLATE-
AIRRS reporting. All Ground Stations for aircraft tracking purposes will have a
BUNO issued by OPNAV N980L.
3. DECKPLATE-AIRRS reports are treated as UNCLASSIFIED data, For

Official Use Only (FOUO).
b. Reporting custodians must submit XRAYs whenever there is a change in aircraft custody
or status, regardless of physical location of the aircraft.
NOTE: In-service XRAY reporting situations occur when an aircraft is in the physical
custody of an activity that is not the reporting custodian of the aircraft. In this
situation, the in-service (physical) custodian is responsible to submit all required
XRAYs on those aircraft. The most common situations occur when aircraft and
its records are in the physical custody of the depot while undergoing standard or
special rework.
c. All XRAY transactions, including corrections, occurring between 0001 and 2400 hours on
a given day must be reported prior to 1600 hours the next working day.
NOTE: Category 1 strike XRAYs for lost (not recovered) or destroyed aircraft must be
submitted NLT 2400 on the day of occurrence.
d. Aircraft XRAYs must be submitted via NALCOMIS Optimized Organizational

Maintenance Activity (OOMA). If OOMA is not available, XRAYs will be submitted via
DECKPLATE-AIRRS web online. If neither OOMA or DECKPLATE-AIRRS connectivity is
available, activities must phone or e-mail XRAY information to their Type Wing or MAW to
submit the XRAY via DECKPLATE-AIRRS. Once OOMA is available, all XRAYs submitted
only in DECKPLATE-AIRRS must be resubmitted in OOMA to enable replication.
NOTES: 1. The F-35 aircraft Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) does not
provide XRAY functionality. All XRAYs for F-35 aircraft will be submitted via
DECKPLATE-AIRRS.
9-5
1 Feb 2021
2. Due to delays with OOMA replication, “R” action XRAYs must be submitted
in OOMA and in DECKPLATE-AIRRS to ensure action dates and time match.
If the aircraft was received with engines installed, the date on the Engine
Transaction Report (ETR) must match the “R” action XRAY.
e. The DECKPLATE-AIRRS daily status report will be reviewed within 5 working days of
XRAY submission to verify XRAYs have replicated and are in the correct status in
DECKPLATE-AIRRS. If an XRAY has not replicated in DECKPLATE-AIRRS after 5 days,
submit the XRAY via DECKPLATE-AIRRS with the same action date/time of the original
OOMA XRAY.
f. Aircraft will be held in a given status code only as long as the situation defined by the
status code exists. Status changes must be reported by XRAY regardless of how briefly the
status exists, including multiple changes in a single day.
g. To correct erroneous data, a correction XRAY will be submitted within 24 hours of

discovery.
NOTE: An XRAY can be modified in OOMA within 45 days from date and time of
creation. After 45 days, the XRAY is locked and “locked” will appear in the
Update Indicator box located at the bottom of the report. If a locked XRAY
requires correction, the OOMA Systems Administrator (SA) must consult the
OOMA SA User’s Manual for direction.
9.1.3.2 Aircraft Accounting Audit Report (AAAR). The AAAR is a physical inventory and
location survey report used to improve accountable property record accuracy. Requirements:
a. Each Reporting Custodian (including detachments) must submit an AAAR. AAARs are
also required from activities having custody of aircraft held under NASC T&E cognizance.
NASC FS activities do not have to submit AAARs unless specifically requested by OPNAV
N980L.
b. An AAAR must be submitted each quarter. All aircraft, including in-service aircraft, in
reporting custody of the unit at 2400 hours on the reporting date (30 September, 31 December, 31
March, and 30 June) will be included on the report. The AAAR will be submitted via the
DECKPLATE-AIRRS website (https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/AIRRS/) by the 5th working
day of the month following the reporting date; i.e., no later than the 5th working day of October,
January, April, and July). Prior to input of Quarterly Hours in Life, ensure all XRAYs with an
Action Code of 'A', 'P', 'R' or 'Y' and the Action Date is equal or prior to the reporting quarter is
valid. The following data items are required for each aircraft reported:
Org Code
Org Name
Report Date
PUC
BUNO
TMS
TSN/Flying Hours In Life
9-6
1 Feb 2021
TSN Difference
Unposted XRAYs
NAVFLIR Hours
Last Quarter Reported End Date
Last Quarter Reported TSN
NOTES: 1. All AAAR data is pre-filled when submitted via DECKPLATE-AIRRS

website.
2. DECKPLATE-AIRRS does not allow for corrections to the AAAR after the
quarterly has been closed. If you find a need to correct hours from a previous
quarter, contact your ACC/OPNAV N98 for assistance.
c. ACCs will run the AAAR Non-reporting units query report and notify those reporting
custodians who are delinquent by the 15th of the month following the reporting date. The
reporting custodians should report their AAAR hours NLT two business days after notification.
For units needing assistance, contact your Wing/ACC. Reporting custodians that have not
reported in two consecutive cycles must send a message to OPNAV N98/ACC explaining why
they have not submitted the AAARs.
9.1.3.3 DECKPLATE Engine Transaction Reporting
9.1.3.3.1 Engine Transaction Reporting is the process to record the status, location and condition
of all engines and engine modules. Engine Transaction Reports (ETRs) are a vital tool used by
engine managers to maximize engine readiness across all aircraft platforms. Inaccurate or late
ETR submissions have a significant negative impact on both financial management and Fleet
Readiness. ETR certification is the process of validating an ETR generated to assure engine
managers have the most accurate and timely data necessary to project Fleet Engine Readiness.
End of Quarter ETRs are a way to track engine meter readings on each asset and validate an
accurate installed engine inventory. NAVAIRINST 13700.15 and the Procedures Reference
Guide (PRG) provide guidance for all reporting and certification procedures.
9.1.3.3.2 Responsibilities and procedures:
a. Controlling custodians are responsible for ensuring subordinate reporting custodians

submit ETRs as changes in status, location and condition occur.
b. Reporting custodians are responsible for submitting ETR’s on all engines and engine
modules in their custody.
c. ETRs are required anytime an engine or engine module has a change in status, location or
condition. ETR submission deadlines must be strictly adhered to as directed by NAVAIRINST
13700.15 and PRG.
d. ETRs with qualifying Status Star Codes as listed in the PRG require an ETR worksheet or
Program Office Certification Worksheet (POCW) to certify the ETR entry. Certification
submission deadlines must be strictly adhered to as directed by NAVAIRINST 13700.15 and
PRG.
9-7
1 Feb 2021
e. Hardcopies of all ETRs and certification Worksheets performed during periods of no

connectivity with the DECKETR website must be electronically submitted upon restoration of
connectivity with the DECKETR website. Maintain all hardcopies for a period of 2 years for
auditing purposes as referenced in the Procedures Reference Guide.
9.1.3.4 Aircraft Flight and Summary Reporting
9.1.3.4.1 The aircraft reporting custodian and the Type Wing or MAW are jointly responsible
for accurate and timely submission of RECTYP 79 (MAINT-2 Report) aircraft summary data.
9.1.3.4.2 All aircraft reporting custodians must send RECTYP 79 data via email to CNAP-
AV3M@navy.mil not later than 2400 on the tenth calendar day of the month following the report
month. If email is not possible, the report must be submitted via Aircraft Summary Data
Message (Figure 9-1) to reach the ACC not later than 2400 hours on the tenth calendar day of the
month following the report month.
NOTE: If the Maint-2 report is not received by the tenth day of the month, reporting
custodians must, without further delay, verify local records and submit available
flight and Equipment In Service (EIS) and Equipment Out of Service (EOS) data
to the cognizant ACC via Aircraft Summary Data Message (Figure 9-1). When
corrections to the MAINT-2 report are made, resubmit the Maint-2 via email to
CNAP-AV3M@navy.mil by the third working day after corrections. If email is
not possible, the report must be submitted via Aircraft Summary Data Correction
Message (Figure 9-2).
9.1.3.4.3 Aircraft detachments operating away from their parent command without an OOMA
Systems Administrator/Analyst (SA/A) must:
a. Forward all completed aviation 3M source documents, WOs or MAFs, and Naval Aircraft
Flight Records (OPNAV 3710/4) to the parent command SA/A. The parent command SA/A will
process the detachment documents and review and correct daily audit reports. Detachment
source documents not received in time for processing prior to monthly closeout will be processed
separately.
b. Submit a monthly Flight Data Submission Message (Figure 9-3) to the parent command
SA/A on the first working day following the end of each reporting period. If required, the parent
command will submit corrections to the RECTYP 79 data for the detachment.
9.1.3.4.4 When an aircraft is in the reporting custody of more than one activity during a report
month, the last receiving aircraft reporting custodian is responsible for ensuring the total EIS and
EOS hours reported by each activity for that BUNO balance and do not exceed the total hours in
the report period. When physical custody changes at the location of the receiving unit, the
receiving unit must provide detailed flight and mission capability data in the aircraft arrival
message in the format specified in Figure 9-4. The transferring activity will use this information
to complete documents.
9-8
1 Feb 2021
9.1.3.4.5 Disestablishing units must submit a final Aircraft Summary Data Message (Figure 9-1)
with the flight data occurring within the last month of operation. The message subject will state:
"Final report. Unit disestablished on (date).” The message must be submitted to the ACC within
24 hours of unit disestablishment.
9.1.4 XRAY Reports
XRAYs record aircraft custody, status, and service life factor changes, and serve as the
activation or deactivation of Subsystem Capability Impact Reporting (SCIR) data accumulation.
Timely and accurate XRAY data is essential to effective management of the naval aircraft
inventory.
9.1.4.1 XRAY Data Fields
BUNO – The six-digit Bureau Number of the aircraft being reported.
ORG Code – Required on all XRAYs. Use the reporting custodian’s organization code
associated to the PUC having aircraft custody.
PUC – Permanent Unit Code of the Reporting Custodian. Required only on XRAYs that
report the receipt of aircraft (Action Codes R or Y). For aircraft assigned to detachments, if the
aircraft logsets were offloaded from the home guard server and uploaded on a different server,
the aircraft will be reported as a “Detachment” not a “Same Org Det” and must use a Det Org
and Det PUC. Same ORG Det are temporary detachments deployed by the O-level for less than
30 days.
ACTION DATE/TIME - The actual date and time of the transaction being reported.
NOTE: The action date reported on the XRAY will be the date the transaction occurred,
regardless of the date the XRAY report is actually transmitted.
ACTION CODE – The reason for submitting the XRAY.
A - Acceptance. Documents the date and time the Navy accepted a new production
aircraft, as recorded on the Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD-250).
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM is the only activity authorized to submit XRAYS with Action Code –
A, Acceptance. The DD250 or the Pre-acceptance dates are used to calculate the chronological
age of the aircraft. NAVAIR ACC will report the Action Date/Time the Navy originally
accepted the aircraft. The acceptance date for new production aircraft is recorded on the
Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD-250) or, for aircraft which have been in service,
the Aircraft Inventory Logbook. Typically, the acceptance date is recorded as the first entry with
signature on the Aircraft Inventory Record or the Aircraft Inventory Record Certification and
Record of Transfer.
L – Change of Location. Reports a change in location of an aircraft when deploying or

detaching away from home station for 30 days or more. (Action code L is a PART II XRAY).
9-9
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: An Action Code – L XRAY (Part II) is required for each aircraft the reporting
custodian takes on detachment/deployment when an Organization Status (Part I)
Change of Location XRAY is submitted. Refer to 9.1.6.1.
M – Model designation change. Reports a change in model designation when an

aircraft begins conversion. Enter the new model designation on the first and subsequent XRAYs
reporting the aircraft entering the conversion process. If the model designation change is
directed by administrative action (no depot rework involved), retain in the status code previously
reported.
P - Pre-Acceptance. Reports the Action Date/time the Navy gained custody of the
aircraft. In the DECKPLATE-AIRRS database this date will become the Pre-Acceptance Date
and this is the date that will be used to calculate the chronological age of the aircraft.
NOTES: 1. NAVAIR ACC is the controlling custodian for pre-accepted aircraft and
aircraft required to perform Contractor Testing (CT) and Developmental Testing
(DT) prior to the final DD-250 and Navy acceptance. These aircraft will not be
included in the active inventory, and will be tracked under NAVAIR FS Custody
Command Code 72.
2. NAVAIR ACC will manage the pre-accepted aircraft inventory, and is the
point of entry for all pre-accepted XRAYS.
R - Receipt. Reports Reporting Custodian receipt of an aircraft from another Reporting

Custodian. An R-action XRAY constitutes official change in Reporting Custodian
responsibilities.
S – Strike. Strikes aircraft from the naval aircraft inventory. Refer to 9.1.7.3 for Strike
XRAY direction.
X – Other. Used when no other action code applies. Action code X is used by all
reporting custodians.
Y - Reinstatement. Used only when reporting one of the following actions:
(a) Reinstatement of a previously stricken aircraft.
(b) Addition of a used (not new production) aircraft to the naval inventory
( see NOTE 1).
(c) Aircraft previously reported as having been pre-accepted using Action

Code P.
(d) Aircraft loaned to the DON (see NOTE 2).
NOTES: 1. For aircraft acquired from other than new production, the Program Office or
ACC involved in acquiring the aircraft will provide the original delivery date of
the aircraft to CNO (N980L). Acceptance date is the original date of delivery,
9-10
1 Feb 2021
regardless of service or organization. It is not the date of acceptance into the

Navy inventory. CNO (N980L) will ensure the accuracy of this date when
manually entered into DECKPLATE-AIRRS for accurate accounting of aircraft
age.
2. Assignment of a BUNO and a reinstatement action Y XRAY add a loaned

aircraft to the DON inventory. The aircraft will be reported in status code U00,
U10, U50, U60 or U70, as appropriate. No other XRAY reports are required
until termination of the loan agreement, and the aircraft is stricken from the
DON inventory and returned to the loaning organization.
STATUS CODE - The complete three-digit status code that best describes the aircraft
status, per 9.1.5.
TYPE MODEL SERIES DESIGNATION - The complete model designation,

including the dash, of the aircraft being reported, for example, FA-18C, EA-6B, MH-60S. Do
not add slashes or plus signs to TMS designations, for example, F/A-18D will be reported as FA-
18D.
FIXED INDUCTION DATE (FID)/PLANNED INDUCTION DATE (PID) – The

date of the next scheduled depot standard rework. Refer to OPNAVINST 3110.11 to determine
which aircraft have calendar-based or flight hour-base (block scheduling induction) D-Level
maintenance schedules. If FID/PID is unknown, contact your Type Wing to get this information.
For XRAYs submitted in OOMA, report as MMMYYYY. For XRAYs submitted via the
DECKPLATE-AIRRS website, report as MM/YYYY.
NOTE: Upon completion of the depot standard rework event, report the next scheduled
FID/PID as provided by the TYPE WING T/M/S Program Manager.
STRIKE/DAMAGE CODE – The Strike/Damage code that best describes the strike or
damage situation, per 9.1.7.3.h. and Table 3.
ACCEPTANCE DATE - There are three dates that track an aircraft’s entrance into the
inventory:
DD250 Date
Pre-acceptance Date
Navy Inventory Date
The DD250 or the Pre-Acceptance Dates are used to calculate the chronological age of the
aircraft. DECKPLATE-AIRRS for Action Code – A, Acceptance. Report the Action
Date/time the Navy originally accepted the aircraft. The acceptance date for new
production aircraft is recorded on the Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD-
250) or, for aircraft which have been in service, the Aircraft Inventory Logbook.
Typically, the acceptance date is recorded as the first entry with signature on the
9-11
1 Feb 2021
Aircraft Inventory Record or the Aircraft Inventory Record Certification and Record of
Transfer.
ESTIMATED REWORK COMPLETION DATE – The depot’s estimated date for

completion of rework. Required only for XRAYs reporting standard or special rework. Report
this date within DECKPLATE-AIRRS and OOMA.
NOTE: An XRAY must be submitted whenever the estimated completion date is extended
by 2 or more days from the last reported date.
PUC OF IN-SERVICE ACTIVITY – The PUC of the activity having physical custody
of the aircraft. Only required if the physical custodian is different than the Reporting Custodian.
PUC RECEIVED FROM/COMMAND CODE - Used only on XRAYs reporting

receipt of aircraft (action codes R or Y). Report the PUC of the unit received from.
SUPPLY ORGANIZATION CODE – Reported only on Organization Status Change of

Location (Part 1) XRAYs (9.1.6.1), detachment activation/deactivation location change, and
XRAYs for operational status category code change, or fleet assigned code change.
OPERATIONAL STATUS CATEGORY - The operational status category of the unit

submitting the XRAY. Reported on Change of Location (Action Code L) and Receipt (Action
Code R) XRAYs. Codes:
Operational Status Category A - Deployed Units. Effective upon embarkation for

deployment aboard ship or to a station or facility outside CONUS, including Hawaii.
Operational Status Category B - Work Up/Ready Duty/Surge Capable Units.

Effective 90 days prior to embarkation for a deployment either aboard ship or to a station
or facility outside CONUS, including Hawaii, or upon attainment of surge capability, to
include post deployment surge requirements.
Operational Status Category C - Deployable Units. Effective upon completion of

deployment or surge requirements and not yet within 90 days of the next deployment.
Operational Status Category D - Fleet Readiness Squadrons (FRS), only.
Operational Status Category E - Non-deployable units.
NOTE: Reporting custodians anticipating changes of operational status category or fleet

assigned will get concurrence from their Type Wing or MAW (while non-
deployed), or from their CVW or MAG (while deployed) prior to submitting
changes.
FLEET ASSIGNED CODE - Reported on Change of Location (Action Code L)

XRAYs. Select the Fleet Assigned Code from the list to report an aircraft’s fleet assignment for
30 days or more. Do not report transits through a fleet, report only the destination fleet where
the assignment is for 30 days or more. Codes:

9.1.5 Aircraft Inventory Status Codes
Aircraft status codes are used to describe the use of the aircraft and certain operational
conditions. Aircraft can be in only one AIRRS status code at any given time. XRAYs must be
submitted by reporting custodians to document status changes, such as acceptance into the naval
inventory, transfer of custody, changes of location, rework, damage or strike from the inventory,
9-15
1 Feb 2021
and other situations. Status changes must be reported by XRAY, regardless of how brief the
situation exists.
NOTE: Aircraft in “A” status codes are in material condition reporting status (IN-MCRS)
for Subsystem Capability Impact Reporting (SCIR). Aircraft in any other status
code but “A” are out of reporting for MCRS (OUT-MCRS) for SCIR. Refer to 9.2
for SCIR procedures.
9.1.5.1 Aircraft Operational Status Codes
“A” status codes identify aircraft in the operational inventory, by their assigned primary use, as
determined by the mission of the reporting custodian of the aircraft. Aircraft in A 0 status are
not awaiting or undergoing any depot rework or strike action.

(N98) to remain in ACC custody in Reconstitution Reserve (RR0) status.
Reconstitution Reserve is short-term storage (1 year or less) when long-term
storage is impractical. Aircraft placed in RR0 status must be in flyable (MC)
condition unless exempted by CNO (N98). Cannibalization or other non-
preservation related work is not authorized while in RR0 status. All aircraft in
ACC custody that are in dehumidification preservation must be placed in RR0
status. Requests to place ACC aircraft in RR0 status will be submitted by naval
message or letter from the responsible Type Wing or MAW to the applicable ACC
aircraft class desk, who will coordinate with CNO (N98) for approval/disapproval.
9.1.6 Common XRAYs
9.1.6.1 Organization Status (Part 1) Change of Location XRAY
Reporting Custodians must submit an Organization Status (Part 1) Change of Location XRAY
when the squadron moves from one location to another (shore to ship, ship to shore, ship to ship,
or one shore location to another) for a period of 30 days or more. Organization Status (Part 1)
Change of Location XRAYs are entered via DECKPLATE-AIRRS web. Refer to 9.1.4.2 for
required data fields.
NOTE: In addition to the Organization Status (Part 1) Change of Location XRAY, an

individual Action Code - L – Change of Location XRAY is required for each
aircraft that deploys or detaches away from home station for 30 days or more.
9.1.6.2 Custody Change (Receipt) XRAY
Reporting custodians must submit a Receipt (Action Code -R) XRAY upon receipt of an aircraft
from another reporting custodian. The receiving activity must submit a Receipt XRAY,
regardless of receipt of logsets or the completion of the acceptance inspection. Refer to the
XRAY Report Data Field Matrix, 9.1.4.2, for required data fields.
9-18
1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. XRAY Action Codes A, P, R and Y result in a change in Reporting Custodian.

Action codes L, M, P, S, and X do not result in a change in Reporting Custodian.
2. The transferring activity must check DECKPLATE-AIRRS to verify a Receipt

XRAY was submitted by the receiving activity. If the Receipt XRAY has not
been entered within 48 hours of transfer, the transferring activity must contact
the receiving activity for information.
3. If the transferring activity ferries the aircraft to the receiving activity, custody
change occurs at the destination. If the receiving activity ferries the aircraft,
custody change occurs at point of origin. For aircraft shipped via surface or
airlift shipment, custody change occurs upon time of arrival at the receiving
custodian’s site.
4. If an aircraft is received with engines installed, the date of the AIRRS XRAY
and the date of the associated DECKPLATE Engine Transaction Report
(DECKETR) must match. Refer to NAVAIRINST 13700.15 and the Procedure
Reference Guide (PRG) for ETR procedures.
9.1.6.3 Depot Rework XRAY

a. Reporting Custodians must submit an Other (Action Code – X) XRAY whenever aircraft
are awaiting or undergoing depot in-service repair (ISR) or modification (MOD) at the reporting
custodian’s operating site. Status Code A_1 will be used for depot rework, and Status Code A_2
will be used for depot modification. Examples: A11 will be used for a Combat category aircraft
undergoing depot in-service repair at the reporting custodian’s site, and A12 will be used for a
Combat category aircraft undergoing depot modernization or modification at the reporting
custodian’s site. Requests to take aircraft out of mission capable reporting status (OUT-MCRS)
while undergoing on-site depot ISR or MOD will be considered only if the ISR or MOD is
expected to exceed 120 days. Requests will be submitted by naval message to the ACC T/M/S
aircraft class desk with the following minimum information:
(1) Each BUNO a deviation is requested for.
(2) Status requested.
(3) Justification for placing the aircraft OUT-MCRS.
(4) Plan and timeline for returning the aircraft to IN-MCRS.
b. Reporting Custodians must submit an Other (Action Code – X) XRAY to report an aircraft
that is awaiting, in route to, or undergoing rework at the depot; i.e., whenever the aircraft and its
records will be transferred to depot physical custody. The most appropriate depot rework code
will be used from the following list:

9.1.7 Strike from Inventory Procedures
9.1.7.1 Authorization
Aircraft will not be stricken without the direct authorization of CNO (N98). CNO (N98) will
semiannually approve a list of aircraft approved for strike and direct their disposition.
NOTES: 1. Aircraft lost or destroyed through accident may be stricken by the reporting
custodian without prior OPNAV authority. Refer to NAVAIRINST 13700.15 for
engine disposition instructions.
2. Special strike requests may be submitted to CNO (N98) on a case-by-case
basis.
9-20
1 Feb 2021
9.1.7.2 Strike at Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG)
a. Aircraft ferried to AMARG for strike will be received and stricken by the Navy Fleet
Support Office assigned to AMARG, not the ferrying activity. Reporting Custodians transferring
aircraft to AMARG will not submit a strike XRAY. AMARG will submit a receipt XRAY upon
arrival and a separate strike XRAY upon completion of strike actions.
b. Aircraft stricken at AMARG or due to unrecoverable crash or loss will follow the same
procedures prescribed for transferring aircraft and NALCOMIS OOMA Logsets to another
reporting custodian, per Chapter 8. The NALCOMIS OOMA Logsets will be transferred to the
NAVAIR Logistics Information Technology (LOG-IT) server at AMARG for archive storage.
AMARG personnel will manage the stricken aircraft Logsets on the AMARG server with the
assistance of NAVAIR Logistics Information Technology (LOG-IT).
9.1.7.3 General Strike Procedures
a. Aircraft approved for strike will be ferried or moved to the site of final disposition prior to
strike.
b. Reporting custodians will request ACC approval to place an aircraft in awaiting strike
status. When ACC authorization is received, the reporting custodian will submit an XRAY to
report the aircraft in the appropriate awaiting strike status code. The strike XRAY will not be
submitted until approval to strike the aircraft is received from CNO (N98). Strike XRAYs must
reference the CNO (N98) authority in the remarks section. If CNO (N98) authorization to strike
is not granted and an aircraft is to be retained in the inventory, the reporting custodian must
reverse the strike action by submitting a “Y” action XRAY placing the aircraft in the appropriate
status code.
NOTE: A strike XRAY is used only when reporting XRAY status codes; 1S0, 2S0, 3S0,
and 4S0. The FID/PID will be adjusted to match the month and year reported in
the strike.
c. Reinstatement of previously stricken aircraft is accomplished by a “Y” action XRAY.
d. Aircraft in any of the strike status codes (except 1S0, 2S0, 3S0, 4S0) are considered
retired.
e. Stricken aircraft are no longer subject to NAMP reporting requirements.
f. NAVSUP WSS, National Naval Aviation Museum, and National Museum of the Marine
Corps are responsible for uploading all formal documentation into the Stricken Aircraft
Management module for each strike aircraft they receive.
g. Reporting Custodians must submit a Strike (Action Code - S) XRAY whenever aircraft
have been directed to be stricken or are awaiting decision to strike, except for those aircraft that
will be stricken at AMARG per 9.1.7.2. Strike XRAYS must be reported via the DECKPLATE-
AIRRS website (https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/AIRRS/) and must also be entered in OOMA.
The strike XRAY must be entered in OOMA prior to moving the log set to the outbox.

9.1.7.4 Category 1 Strike Damage Procedures
a. The reporting custodian will immediately report a Category 1 (Strike Damage) XRAY
when an aircraft is lost (not recovered) or destroyed.
NOTE: If the damage incurred is of a lesser degree, but still such that the reporting
custodian believes the aircraft is eligible for Category 1 strike, the reporting
custodian will notify the ACC and request disposition.
b. The ACC has the authority to declare an aircraft eligible for Category 1 strike and may
request depot Planner and Estimator (P&E) evaluation for confirmation. A determination of
eligibility constitutes both the authority and direction to strike the aircraft.
c. Reporting custodians will make logbook entries prior to transferring a damaged aircraft to
NASC FS custody. The logbook entries will provide sufficient information for NASC FS to
report the aircraft stricken should the decision be made to strike the aircraft. For disposition of
installed engines refer to NAVAIRINST 13700.15.
d. Category 1 Strike XRAY will use Action Code - S, Status Code 1S0, and the most
appropriate code from the Strike/Damage Code Table. The FID/PID will reflect month and year
of strike. If P&E evaluation has been requested, the aircraft will be reported using Action Code -
X (Other) and status Y00 (Awaiting Decision to Strike). An aircraft reported in Y00 status also
requires that a tentative strike/damage code be entered in the aircraft logbook miscellaneous
history section. If the P&E evaluation results in a decision to restore the aircraft, the reporting
custodian will submit an XRAY report in the appropriate status. If the P&E evaluation results in
a decision to strike the aircraft, the strike date will be as of the date of the completion of the P&E
evaluation. Strike XRAYs for aircraft lost or destroyed will include this instruction in the
remarks section of the report as authority. All other Category 1 strike actions will reference the
specific authorizing directive.
NOTE: For aircraft sustaining lesser damage than strike, yet requiring depot rework or
repair, report the appropriate damage code. Include the damage code on all
XRAY’s reporting the aircraft in the appropriate Depot Special Rework Repair
status code (I30, IC0, H3_, HC_, or G3_) per 9.1.6.3.b.
9.1.7.5 Category 2 (Depreciation) Strike Procedures
a. When an aircraft materially depreciates to the extent that it might be strike eligible, the
reporting custodian will request a P&E evaluation for Category 2 strike. The P&E will report the
results of the evaluation to the cognizant ACC. Requests for Category 2 strike will be submitted
via the chain of command to CNO (N98) for approval.
b. Aircraft awaiting a Category 2 strike decision will be reported using an Action Code - X
(Other) XRAY and status code PB0. When the P&E evaluation is completed and strike is
recommended, use S20. When authorization is granted, the Category 2 strike action is reported
as Action Code – S, status code 2S0, with the appropriate code from the Strike/Damage Code
Table.
9-24
1 Feb 2021
9.1.7.6. Category 3 (Administrative) Strike Procedures
a. Category 3 (Administrative) strike is authorized for reasons not related to damage,

depreciation, or completion of service life. Category 3 strikes cover obsolete or excess aircraft;
aircraft intentionally destroyed (including drones) in test, training or battle; aircraft removed
from the inventory for use in ground training; aircraft transferred to foreign governments via
foreign military sales (FMS) or transferred to other non-Navy recipients; and aircraft stricken
due to Master Aviation Plan (MAP) decisions.
b. With the exception of aircraft intentionally destroyed in battle, only CNO (N98) can
authorize Category 3 strike.
c. When Category 3 strike does not involve FMS or MAP, the aircraft will be stricken at the
disposal site.
d. Category 3 strike XRAYs will contain Action Code – S, Status Code 3S0, and the
appropriate code from the Strike/Damage Code Table.
9.1.7.7 Category 4 (Completed Service Life) Strike Procedures
Category 4 (Completed Service Life) strikes cover those aircraft that have reached the end of
their operational service life due to hours or Fatigue Life Expended (FLE) limits. Upon direction
by the ACC, the reporting custodian will submit a Category 4 strike XRAY with Action Code –
S, Status Code 4S0, and the appropriate code from the Strike/Damage Code Table.
9.2 Subsystem Capability and Impact Reporting (SCIR) System
9.2.1 Purpose
SCIR is the data system used to monitor mission capability and identify discrepant aircraft
systems and subsystems listed in the T/M/S aircraft Mission Essential Subsystem Matrix
(MESM). SCIR provides managers with information on discrepant systems that cause mission
impairment, the degree of mission impairment (Partial Mission Capable (PMC) or Non-Mission
Capable (NMC), the length of time mission capability was reduced, and related maintenance and
supply factors.
9.2.2 Definitions
a. NMCD - Not Mission Capable due to Depot-level maintenance.
b. NMCS - Not Mission Capable due to Awaiting Parts (AWP).
c. NMCM-U - Not Mission Capable due to Unscheduled maintenance.
9-25
1 Feb 2021
d. NMCM-S - Not Mission Capable due to Scheduled maintenance. An aircraft is NMCM-

S during all periods of time it is not available for a mission because of scheduled maintenance.
Conditions:
(1) NMCM-S does not apply to administrative WOs, daily or turnaround inspections, or
corrosion prevention that does not impair mission capability.
(2) NMCM-S does not apply if the scheduled inspection does not require disassembling
the aircraft beyond the point re-assembly can be completed within 2 hours. If the scheduled
inspection does require disassembly to the point the aircraft cannot be re-assembled within 2
hours, the inspection is considered to impact mission capability and the appropriate EOC code
will be applied to the associated look-phase inspection WOs. Regardless of the extent of
disassembly, NMCM-S applies upon reaching the maximum operational limit allowed between
scheduled maintenance intervals.
e. PMCS - Partial Mission Capable due to Awaiting Parts (AWP).
f. PMCM - Partial Mission Capable due to Maintenance
g. FMC - Fully Mission Capable. No NMCD, NMCS, NMCM-U, NMCM-S, PMCS, or

PMCM discrepancies.
h. EMT - This time is spent actually working on the end item and is always documented as
maintenance time, even though parts may be on order from supply. EMT does not include the
clock hours and tenths for cure time, charging time, or leak test when they are being conducted
without maintenance personnel actually monitoring the work. Although EMT is directly related
to job man-hours, it is not to be confused with total man-hours required to complete a job.
i. AWM - This time is when no work is being performed on the end item and no parts are on
order from supply. Even though work is stopped for a lack of parts, it is considered AWM until
the demand is placed on the supply department.
j. Maintenance Time - The sum of AWM and EMT.
k. AWP - Awaiting parts. AWP time starts when a requisition is placed on the supply
system for a required item. AWP time stops when the required item is received by the
maintenance activity. Parts are not considered to be on order (AWP) until demand has been
forwarded to the Supply Response Section (SRS) of the Supply Department.
l. SCIR Gripe Life - The total length of time a discrepancy is SCIR related. As a formula,
SCIR GRIPE LIFE = AWP + EMT + AWM. (This formula is not applicable to inspection
control documents.)
m. Computer Generated AWM (AWM 0) - Using the SCIR gripe life formula above, the
computer will account for every hour of gripe life. Time which has not been accounted for as
supply, EMT, or documented AWM will be categorized as AWM and assigned a reason code of
0. Computer generated AWM will never be documented on the WO.
9-26
1 Feb 2021
9.2.3 SCIR Documentation
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 15 for additional procedures on documenting SCIR on OOMA

work orders.
9.2.3.1 SCIR accounts for the total length of time an aircraft’s mission capability is impaired,
while the aircraft is IN-MCRS and an aircraft system or subsystem listed in the T/M/S Mission
Essential Subsystem Matrix (MESM) (9.4) is discrepant or failed (not including administrative
actions), preventing the aircraft from performing one or more of its missions. SCIR is not
documented when the maintenance action is administrative, only (for example, removal of an
RFI component to Facilitate Other Maintenance (FOM)) or the discrepancy does not impair
mission capability. SCIR is applicable when mission capability is impaired while:
a. Repairing an end item.
b. Inspecting or calibrating an end item.
c. Installing a TD on an end item.
NOTE: A system or subsystem is considered nonfunctional even though the final

disposition may be no defect (A-799). In these cases, mission capability is
considered impacted from the time the discrepancy was reported.
9.2.3.2 SCIR is automatically calculated based on IN-MCRS, Type WO code and Up/Down
status. The appropriate EOC code (9.4) is applied to the WO related to the discrepancy that is
degrading mission capability. The EOC code is linked to the system/subsystem WUC/UNS in
the T/M/S aircraft CM baseline in OOMA and is prefilled on the WO based on the
Up/Partial/Down (U/P/D) indicator and WUC/UNS selection. Only one EOC can be
documented on a WO. For inspections, the EOC is documented on the Single Work Center
Inspection WO or the Look Phase WOs for inspections requiring more than one work center.
9.2.3.3 SCIR must be documented for all inspections that require disassembly of the aircraft or
installed equipment to the point the aircraft cannot be reassembled within 2 hours.
a. If an aircraft is downed for a special inspection, SCIR will be documented on the look
phase WOs during the down portion of the inspection once Maintenance Control decides to
SCIR Impact the inspection by selecting the SCIR Impacted Insp option from the Aircraft VED.
Any fix phase discrepancies (Type WO code SF), discovered during the special inspection will
be SCIR related, if they affect mission capability per the T/M/S aircraft MESM.
b. SCIR is documented for a conditional inspection only if:
(1) An overlimit condition exists, for example, hard landing, bolter, overspeed, or
overtemp, that restricts the aircraft from further flight until the inspection is completed; or
(2) Higher authority directs a one-time inspection, not ordered in a TD, that restricts the
aircraft from flight. Aircraft undergoing conditional inspections to determine equipment
condition, for example, precarrier, pre-deployment, aircraft ferry, acceptance, transfer, and
9-27
1 Feb 2021
routine events that do not exceed an over-limit condition, for example, inspections caused by
flying various mission sets in harsh or salt laden environments, will remain in MC status during
the complete inspection unless panels and equipment removed to conduct the inspection cannot
be replaced within a 2-hour period.
NOTES: 1. SCIR will only be impacted when aircraft are IN-MCRS. EOC code “A” will
be used while aircraft are OUT-MCRS (non-SCIR impact). Upon submission of
an XRAY in OOMA to place an aircraft in OUT-MCRS status, all inspection
WOs will be automatically changed to EOC "A". When aircraft status returns to
IN-MCRS, the OOMA XRAY will initiate an automatic update of all SCIR
impacted inspection WOs back to EOC "Z". Refer to 9.4.2.
2. EOC code “A” is not active until an impending NALCOMIS software change
is complete.
c. If an inspection is initiated in an Up status and then reaches its maximum allowable

deviation (drop dead date), NALCOMIS has an auto-down program that will automatically
change the status of applicable inspection WOs to a Down status. Until such time as
Maintenance Control decides to SCIR Impact the inspection by selecting the SCIR Impacted
Insp option from the Aircraft VED, the aircraft inspection WOs will not have an EOC displayed.
Once SCIR Impacted, an EOC "Y" is placed on the Control WO, and EOC of "Z" is placed on
the Look Phase WOs. This action cannot be reversed. The EOC Start Date and Time field will
be displayed on the Job Status/Worker Hours screen with the Date and Time of when the SCIR
Impact option was initiated, and will display EOC "Z". This field will be used to start the SCIR
clock, and the MAINT-1, MAINT-2, and MAINT-3 reports will calculate the aircraft readiness
using this field.
9.2.3.4 Work Order EOC codes and Up/Partial/Down (U/P/D) categorization on WOs can be
corrected using the following procedures:
a. Maintenance Control must approve changes to EOC codes and U/P/D status.
b. EOC codes and U/P/D status are changed by using the OOMA SCIR change function.
The SCIR change function is used for non-SCIR discrepancies that increase in severity or to
start/stop SCIR impact accumulation when going from IN-MCRS/OUT-MCRS status. When
executing the SCIR Change Option, the computer will close out the original WO and create a
new WO with the appropriate EOC code. The original WO must contain sufficient information
to pass the OOMA on-line validations prior to the SCIR change. The new WO will have the
same JCN as the original WO, but it will have a new MCN along with the new EOC code. The
Date and Time received will be computer generated at the time of the SCIR change and is not
modifiable. This option will be used to change a discrepancy from Up to Partial or Down, and to
change Partial to Down. This feature is not used to change the SCIR status for Look Phase
Inspection WOs.
NOTE: SCIR corrections change the status beginning from the received Date and Time of
the new WO.
9-28
1 Feb 2021
c. A SCIR correction to a DOWN status is prohibited if an M7 job status exists or if the

aircraft has flown since the received Date and Time.
d. If the WO is being corrected to an UP or PARTIAL status and parts have been ordered,
the user is stopped if the project code is not valid for the new status.
e. If the WO is corrected to PARTIAL status, the WUC/UNS must be selected from the
MESM table. If there is more than one EOC Code for that WUC/UNS, the user is prompted to
select one.
f. Inspection WOs cannot be changed from DOWN to UP status. Look phase inspection
WOs cannot be changed from an UP to DOWN status (it must be done on the inspection control
WO).
9.2.4 SCIR Data Binning
9.2.4.1 Data binning reduces overall aircraft status into 15-minute increments of the highest
degraded priority per the following process:
a. One 15-minute bin is used for each 15 minutes of the month (2976 bins for a 31-day
month, 2880 bins for a 30-day month, 2784 bins for a 29-day February, and 2688 bins for a 28-
day February), numbered sequentially. Example: The bins are numbered 1 through 2976 for a
31-day month.
b. Each bin is evaluated to determine the highest impact to aircraft status during that
respective bin time. In descending order of hierarchy, each bin is assigned as:
(1) NMCD (Highest priority)
(2) NMCS
(3) NMCM-U
(4) NMCM-S
(5) PMCS
(6) PMCM (Lowest priority)
NOTE: With no NMC or PMC of any type, the bin is empty (FMC status).
c. Time allotment:
(1) Not Mission Capable Depot (NMCD) time supersedes Not Mission Capable Supply
(NMCS) time which supersedes Not Mission Capable Maintenance time. If there is any NMCD
time in the bin, NMCD will claim 100% of that 15-minute bin. In the absence of NMCD,
NMCS will claim 100% of that 15-minute bin. In the absence of both NMCD and NMCS,
NMCM will claim 100% of that 15-minute bin.
9-29
1 Feb 2021
(2) In the absence of any NMC time, PMCS will claim 100% of that 15-minute bin. In
the absence of any NMC time and any PMCS time, PMCM will receive 100% of the bin.
(3) In the absence of any NMC or PMC time, the bin status is empty. No SCIR time is
accounted for and the aircraft is FMC.
d. The bins are aggregated over time to determine MC/FMC rate for a particular period, for
example, the Maint 2 report provides a monthly summary of MC/FMC readiness and time spent
in each category (NMCD, NMCS, NMCM-U, NMCM-S, PMCS, PMCM or FMC).
9.2.4.2 Binning does not start until a Receipt XRAY is completed, which begins the reporting
process. Thereafter, if there are no SCIR impacted work orders to populate bins the aircraft is
FMC, a Partial or Downing Maintenance Event occurring will supersede the FMC, the event
with the highest letter Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) code with time elapsed within a
bin takes precedence, and supersedes any lower priority EOC code. NMC Work Orders begin
with NMCM, and PMC Work Orders begin with PMCM. When a part is ordered against a work
order and the Job Status changes from in work to a supply status, then the bin will carry a status
of NMCS or PMCS. Once the part is issued or the work order is moved to an awaiting
maintenance or in work job status, the NMCS or PMCS clock stops and NMCM or PMCM time
resumes until the work order is completed. When more than one or many work orders with
NMC or PMC status exist, the single status with the highest precedence is collected for that bin
time.
9.2.4.3 Monthly summary reporting (and binning) stops when an aircraft is closed out and
removed from OOMA, which typically happens when the aircraft will be transferred to another
activity and a subsequent Receipt XRAY will begin reporting in that activity. Aircraft Strike
will also stop monthly summary aircraft reporting.
9.3 Mission Capable Rate Computation
SCIR data permits computing the percentage of time an aircraft is mission capable, commonly
referred to as the MC/FMC rate.
9.3.1 Definitions
a. MC - The aircraft can perform at least one of its missions.
b. FMC - The aircraft has no outstanding NMCS or PMCS requisitions, no outstanding

NMCM or PMCM maintenance actions, no down WOs, and no EOCs.
c. PMC - The aircraft has one or more outstanding PMCS requisitions or PMCM
maintenance actions with an EOC alpha character of C through L, no outstanding NMCS
requisitions, no outstanding NMCM maintenance actions, no Down WOs, and no EOC alpha
character Z discrepancies. The aircraft is safely flyable and can perform one or more, but not all
missions listed in the applicable MESM.
9-30
1 Feb 2021
d. NMC - The aircraft has one or more outstanding NMCM maintenance actions or NMCS
requisitions. The aircraft is not safely flyable and cannot perform any mission listed in the
applicable MESM.
NOTE: Aircraft that are not in “A” operating status in AIRRS are considered NMC and
will not be flown, except for those aircraft being flown (ferried) to or from depot
rework or AMARG storage, or flown for functional check flight while undergoing
a depot event.
9.3.2 MC and FMC Rate Computation
9.3.2.1 MC and FMC rates are computed only for the time aircraft are in “A” operating status in
the Aircraft Inventory Readiness and Reporting System (AIRRS), 9.1. Aircraft reported in
AIRRS in “A” operating status are in mission capability reporting status (IN-MCRS) and
accumulate Equipment In Service (EIS) hours for the computation of MC and FMC. Aircraft
reported in AIRRS in any other operating status than “A” are out of MCRS (OUT-MCRS) and
do not accumulate EIS hours.
9.3.2.2 The MC and FMC percentage rate is computed using accumulated EIS hours, Equipment
Out of Service (EOS) hours, and SCIR data during a reporting period. Formulas:
MC Percentage. MC percentage reflects the percentage of all aircraft assigned to a unit that
were in MCRS, based on total accumulated Equipment In Service (EIS) hours during a reporting
period, which were capable of performing at least one, but not all missions.
TOTAL EIS HOURS – (NMCD+NMCS+NMCM) HOURS

X 100
TOTAL EIS HOURS
FMC Percentage. FMC percentage reflects the percentage of all aircraft assigned to a unit
that were in MCRS, based on total accumulated EIS hours during a reporting period, which were
capable of performing all missions.

PMC percentage. PMC percentage reflects the percentage of all aircraft assigned to a unit
capable of performing at least one, but not all missions, due to maintenance.
TOTAL PMC HOURS

X 100
TOTAL EIS HOURS
Example: A unit assigned 12 aircraft during the month of April. Their total possible EIS hours is
computed as 24 hours per day X 30 days X 12 aircraft = 8640 total possible EIS hours. The
squadron has 2 aircraft OUT-MCRS for 20 days (960 EOS Hours). Therefore, total EIS hours =
8640 - 960 = 7680 hours. Per SCIR data, hours were distributed as follows: NMCD = 24, NMCS
= 1250 and NMCM = 1600 for a total of 2874 NMC hours; PMCS = 2000 and PMCM = 500 for
a total of 2500 PMC hours. 2874 NMC hours + 2500 PMC hours = 5374 non-FMC hours. Mission
capability percentages:
7680 - 2874
MC % = X 100 = 62.5% MC

7680 - 5374
FMC % = X 100 = 30.0% FMC

9.4 Mission-Essential Subsystems Matrix (MESM)
9.4.1 Purpose. A MESM provides guidance for determining subsystem, capability, function,
and mode interrelationships as they relate to aircraft mission capability. Each T/M/S aircraft and
UAS has a MESM that lists the aircraft’s SCIR-related subsystems and associated Equipment
Operational Capability (EOC) code. Figure 9-5 is an example of a T/M/S MESM.
9.4.2 Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) Codes. EOC codes relate a particular
system/subsystem to a specific mission listed in the T/M/S MESM. An EOC code is a three-
character alphanumeric code that identifies the degree of degradation to mission capability and
the system responsible for the degradation. The first character (alpha) is documented in
NALCOMIS OOMA. The second and third characters (numeric) are computer generated from
the first two positions of the WUC/UNS. EOC alpha codes:
EOC code A. (Not for use in MESMs. Currently inactive, pending NALCOMIS
software change). EOC code A is automatically applied to WOs whenever an OOMA XRAY is
submitted that changes the aircraft status from IN-MCRS to OUT-MCRS. WOs initiated while
aircraft are OUT-MCRS will default to EOC “A”. Upon submission of the OOMA XRAY
changing the aircraft back to IN-MCRS, all work orders will automatically be updated back to
the applicable SCIR impacted EOC code.
9-32
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: XRAYs submitted in DECKPLATE-AIRRS will not replicate to OOMA. XRAYs

must be submitted in OOMA to enable applicable automated SCIR changes.
EOC codes C through K are used for inoperative subsystems, capabilities, functions, or
modes that degrade the aircraft from FMC to PMC, thus preventing a specific mission, as
defined in the T/M/S MESM.
EOC code L is used for inoperative subsystems, capabilities, functions, or modes that
prevent Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) flight missions.
EOC code M. (Not for use in MESMs.) EOC code M is applied as system default to
WOs when an Aircraft is undergoing a Depot Modernization / Modification (Depot MOD) and
work center X45 is utilized. Accurate accounting for Non-Mission Capable Depot (NMCD) time
requires correctly coding the WO and providing detailed descriptions in the Discrepancy and
Corrective Action Blocks. Refer to Chapter 15.5.12 Modification documentation.
EOC code R. (Not for use in MESMs.) EOC code R is applied as system default to WOs
when an aircraft is undergoing a Depot In-Service Repair (ISR) and work center X44 is utilized.
Accurate accounting for Non-Mission Capable Depot (NMCD) time requires correctly coding
the WO and providing detailed descriptions in the Discrepancy and Corrective Action Blocks.
Refer to 15.5.11 In-Service Repair documentation
EOC code Y. (Not for use in MESMs.) EOC code Y is applied as a system default to
Assist maintenance actions when the Control WO is SCIR impacted. In addition, when Phase
and Inspection Control WOs are SCIR impacted, an EOC of “Y” is placed on the Control WO,
and an EOC of “Z” is placed on the Look Phase WOs.
EOC code Z is used for subsystems, capabilities, functions, or modes that degrade the
aircraft to NMC. Major systems, subsystems, or equipment, for example, engines, electrical
systems, and flight controls, that are not listed in the MESM, but preclude safe flight when
inoperative, are assigned EOC code Z.
9.4.3 New MESM Development. The COMNAVAIRSYSCOM T/M/S aircraft Program

Manager is responsible for developing the initial MESM for new T/M/S aircraft. The initial
MESM must be published prior to commencement of development test flight operations. Prior
to commencement of Fleet squadron flight operations, the Program Manager will coordinate with
the ACC T/M/S Aircraft Class Desk to develop the final MESM. Procedures:
a. T/M/S missions must be determined prior to construction of a new MESM. The missions
defined in T/M/S operational requirement documents will be used as a general guide. Tactical
manual definitions will be used to provide additional detail to mission descriptions, if required to
more accurately describe a mission.
b. After mission descriptions are developed, Program Office design and engineering
personnel will determine which subsystems, capabilities, functions, and modes are required to
perform each mission. Aircraft, manuals, such as IPBs, MIMs, and NATOPS for similar aircraft
may be used as secondary information sources.
9-33
1 Feb 2021
c. The Program Office will construct a Mission Essential Equipment Functional Matrix with
vertical columns identifying each specific mission in descending order (FMC followed by PMC
followed by NMC), ranging left to right, as depicted in Figure 9-6. Procedures:
(1) Unclassified descriptive names are used to identify each mission.
(2) The subsystems, capabilities, functions, or modes are listed horizontally under the
MISSION ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT column with an “X” placed in each of the mission
columns for which the equipment is required. Holes may appear in the matrix, for example,
EQUIPMENT 1 in Figure 9-6, which indicates the equipment does not affect any mission of the
aircraft regardless of whether or not EQUIPMENT 1 is installed or functioning. When this
occurs, it is necessary to re-evaluate the impact of the equipment on that specific mission and
decide if the hole should be ignored or if the equipment to mission correlation in the matrix
should be rearranged.
(3) The appropriate EOC code per 9.4.2 direction is applied to each subsystem. The
appropriate EOC code is determined by identifying the last subsystem, capability, function, or
mode displaying an “X” in the mission category. For example, Figure 9-6 lists all equipment
required to make the aircraft FMC. If EQUIPMENT 2 is inoperative, the EOC code assigned is
C, indicating that without EQUIPMENT 2 the aircraft is only capable of missions less than
FMC.
(4) When, subsystems, capabilities, functions, or modes are identified for each mission, it
may be discovered that only some modes of operation are required to perform that particular
mission, which must be indicated the example of EQUIPMENT 3 as it relates to EOC code C in
Figure 9-6.
(5) Redundant subsystems, for example, primary and backup, are grouped together and
the MESM needs to specify the number or positions required to perform the mission, per the
examples of EQUIPMENT 4 and EQUIPMENT 5 as they relate to EOC code D in Figure 9-6.
(6) Any comment required to provide amplifying information about a system should be
included as a NOTE per the example of EQUIPMENT 7 in Figure 9-6.
(7) When a particular subsystem, capability, function, or mode is listed in the MESM
with more than one EOC code, it must be explained as indicated by the example of
EQUIPMENT 3 as it relates to EOC code C and EOC code K in Figure 9-6.
(8) Mission Mounted Equipment (MME) is equipment required for special missions, for
example, tanker packages, defensive electronic countermeasures, chaff dispensers, and
Sidewinder missile systems. When MME is installed, the complete system is reported. If MME
is not installed and the necessary wiring and plumbing are permanently installed, only the wiring
and plumbing is reported. A NOTE to this effect must be included for each MME in the MESM.
d. When the Mission Essential Equipment Functional Matrix is complete, the actual MESM
is constructed.
9-34

9.4.4 MESM Changes. MESM change recommendations will be routed per the process
illustrated in Figure 9-7 (Navy) and Figure 9-8 (Marine Corps).
9.5 Responsibility for Accurately Reporting Aircraft Status
9.5.1 General responsibility. All Navy and Marine Corps activities that operate aircraft are
responsible for the accuracy of aircraft status in DECKPLATE-AIRRS and SCIR.
9.5.2 Maintenance Officer (MO). With assistance from the MMCO and SA/A, the MO will
perform DECKPLATE-AIRRS and SCIR reviews each month, as follows:
a. Review a hardcopy of the current NALCOMIS Work Center Workload Report (Figure 9-
9) to verify work orders are being coded with the correct EOC codes, WUC/UNS, and U/P/D
indication, per the T/M/S aircraft MESM. Procedure:
(1) Compare the discrepancy noted in the System Reason block to the Aircraft/Equipment
Status block for correct U/P/D status.
(2) Review the EOC block to verify correct code per the T/M/S aircraft MESM, and
correct correlation to the U/P/D status.
(3) Review the Project Code for correct correlation to the U/P/D status and EOC code.
(4) Annotate the report with any discrepancies noted, sign the report, and give it to the
MMCO for action.
b. Review a hardcopy of the DECKPLATE-AIRRS “Latest Aircraft Daily Information” data

to verify the aircraft status code is correct per 9.1.5 for each BUNO assigned. The MO will
annotate the report with any discrepancies noted, sign and date the report, and give it to the
MMCO for action.
9.5.3 Maintenance Material Control Officer (MMCO). O-level MMCOs are responsible for
timely and accurate DECKPLATE-AIRRS reports and work order SCIR documentation. The
MMCO must:
a. Review the accuracy of all fields and authorize the release of AIRRS XRAY reports
submitted via OOMA, DECKPLATE-AIRRS, or naval message. The MMCO will sign and
maintain a hardcopy of each XRAY for at least 12 months after date of release.
b. Review the DECKPLATE-AIRRS “Latest Aircraft Daily Information” data each week to
verify XRAY reports have processed.
c. Review the NALCOMIS Work Center Workload Report (Figure 9-9) each week for
accuracy of U/P/D indication, EOC coding, and WUC/UNS, per the procedures of 9.5.2.a.
d. Review the System Administrator/Analyst (SA/A) trend chart of SCIR data errors (Figure
9-10) each month and direct actions to improve accuracy, such as additional training for work
center or Maintenance Control personnel.
9-35
1 Feb 2021
e. Note corrective actions taken on monthly Maintenance Officer SCIR and AIRRS reviews,
and maintain on file for 12 months from date of completion.
9.5.4 Maintenance Master Chief Petty Officer (MMCPO). The MMCPO (Navy) or Aircraft
Maintenance Chief (Marine Corps) will monitor Maintenance Control for accurate SCIR
documentation by performing a daily review of the NALCOMIS Work Center Workload Report
(Figure 9-9) for correct U/P/D indication, EOC coding, and WUC/UNS, per the procedures of
9.5.2.a.
9.5.5 Maintenance Control. Prior to approving the WO for entry into the automated aircraft
discrepancy book (AADB), Maintenance Control must review the WO for correct EOC coding
per the T/M/S MESM, WUC/UNS, and the correct U/P/D indication.
9.5.6 Work Center Supervisor. Work Center supervisors are responsible for the accuracy of
work orders generated by their work center. At the beginning and end of the work shift, Work
Center supervisors will review the NALCOMIS Work Center Workload Report (Figure 9-9) for
correct EOC and WUC/UNS coding per the procedures of 9.5.2.a., and ensure errors are
corrected.

10.1.2 Introduction
10.1.2.1 A proficient work force is key to achieving and sustaining naval aviation operational
readiness. All activities maintaining aircraft and aeronautical equipment are responsible for
ensuring their personnel are adequately trained and skilled in their duties. This NAMPSOP
provides direction on general management procedures for formal and in-service training of O-level
and I-level Navy and Marine Corps Maintenance Department uniformed military personnel. This
NAMPSOP is not applicable to the training of government service or contractor personnel,
regardless of the level of the maintenance activity assigned.
10.1.2.2 The Aviation Maintenance Training (AMT) Program provides basic, intermediate, and
advanced levels of training to Department of the Navy aviation maintenance personnel involved
with aircraft, engines, components, and related equipment. The program also covers aviation
meteorological and photographic equipment, air launched weapons, missile targets, and
aeronautical equipment. The program aims to provide Naval Aviation with a competent workforce,
formally trained by the A and C-Schools, reflecting manpower document billet requirements, and
10-1
1 Feb 2021
that has attained F-School and In-Service Training (IST) required by NAMP, NAVAIR and
NAVOSH policies. A competent workforce is one that utilizes technical knowledge and skill to
safely and proficiently perform maintenance plan tasks in the required operating environment.
Maintenance training is aligned to maintenance tasks and manning concepts required by the weapon
system acquisition, and arranged in a continuum of formal training and IST syllabi throughout a
career.
10.1.2.3 For Navy personnel, the Qualified and Proficient Technician (QPT) Program provides IST
standardization via Naval Education and Training (NAVEDTRA) Personnel Qualification
Standards (PQS). QPT contains a structured training syllabus that provides maintenance personnel
with the minimum level of proficiency required for their rate and pay grade. QPT expands on
prerequisite formal schools and Navy enlisted classification (NEC) training. QPT PQS is tailored
to two QPT certification levels that correspond to personnel’s skill level that is expected for
professional development. QPT levels:
a. Qualified and Proficient Apprentice (QPA), generally for E-4 and below personnel. QPA
includes general and rating specific training on flight line and work place safety, basic aircraft or
equipment servicing and inspection, support equipment (SE) licensing, basic maintenance
documentation requirements, basic type/model/series (T/M/S) aircraft or I-level equipment
maintenance tasks (typically limited to servicing, preventive maintenance, and component removal
and replacement), identification, use, and handling of hazardous material, and any additional
qualifications necessary to perform at the Apprentice level.
b. Qualified and Proficient Journeyman (QPJ), generally for E-5 and E-6 personnel. QPJ
includes required QPA items for personnel new to a T/M/S aircraft or I-level duty, in-depth T/M/S
aircraft and equipment information and job tasks (typically troubleshooting to component level,
ready for issue material (RFI) determination, schematics use, end-to-end testing, and rigging or
tuning of systems and components), advanced maintenance documentation, shop and shift workload
management, and any additional qualifications necessary to perform at the Journeyman level. QPJ
certified individuals become instructors and mentors to apprentices.
10.1.2.4 For Marine Corps personnel, the Aviation Maintenance and Supply Training and
Readiness Program (AMSTRP) provides structured IST for each aviation military occupational
specialty (MOS). The AMSTRP implements concepts that include system skill proficiency
qualifications, designations, and SE licensing requirements. The AMSTRP provides maintenance
training standardization, identification of training resources, and a standardized method for
measuring the manpower readiness of work centers, divisions, and Maintenance Departments.
NAVMC 4790.1 directs the AMSTRP.
10.1.2.5 PQS is the foundational element of the QPT Program and AMSTRP. PQS are structured
training syllabi that delineate the minimum knowledge and skills an individual must demonstrate
before they are qualified to perform specific maintenance or administrative duties. OPNAVINST
3500.34 directs the PQS Program, and specifies key roles for Commander, Naval Air Systems
Command (COMNAVAIRSYSCOM) Naval Education Training Command (NETC).
NAVEDTRA 43100-1 and 43100-2 provide policy on developing and managing PQS.
10.1.2.6 On the job training (OJT) is the primary training element in attaining technical proficiency
and skill in performing maintenance and administrative duties. OJT consists of personnel
10-2
1 Feb 2021
performing tasks under the supervision of qualified personnel. The trainee gains knowledge, skill,
and experience by observing and participating in the work.
10.1.2.7 Job Qualification Requirements (JQR) are locally produced guides for training and
qualification elements not covered by a QPT, AMSTRP, or NAVEDTRA PQS.
10.1.2.8 Lectures, Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI), and required reading provide essential
knowledge for performing certain tasks.
10.1.2.9 The Advanced Skills Management Program (ASM) is an unclassified Management
Information System (MIS) that contains job task requirements, documents completed training,
qualifications, certifications, duty or billet assignments, and tracks personnel progress in completing
QPT or AMSTRP. ASM is the primary training database for Navy and Marine Corps O-level and
I-level maintenance activities.
10.1.3 Formal Training
10.1.3.1 Definition
Formal training is training with an approved course curriculum which may or may not produce an
NEC or MOS. AMT courses are typically taught by NETC, CNATT or Depot FRCs. The courses
provide specific weapon system task training that provides familiarization in operation and
maintenance of the system, support equipment, or program being maintained. Types of formal
training include:
Class A - Basic knowledge and skills required for entry level performance. NEC or MOS not
normally awarded.
Class C - Advanced knowledge and skills required to fill a billet coded with an NEC or MOS.
Awards NEC or MOS.
Class D - Professional CNO mandated or non-pipeline refresher training. NEC not normally
awarded.
Class F - Individual functional skill training required by fleet, ACC, TYCOM, or SYSCOM
instructions. No NEC awarded.
Class G - Segment course of an NEC or MOS producing pipeline. Does not, by itself, award an
NEC or MOS and may be attended outside the entire pipeline.
Class R - Training upon initial enlistment or induction which provides general indoctrination
and prepares the recruit for early adjustment to military life by providing skill and knowledge in
basic military subjects.
Class T - Team training to fleet personnel, officers and enlisted, enroute to duty as members of
ship's company. No NEC is awarded.
10.1.3.2 Directives
The directives referenced in 10.1.1 provide overarching policy and command responsibilities for
formal training development, management, scheduling, and future requirements. Summary:
10-3
1 Feb 2021
a. Formal course curriculum, IST syllabi and training devices, are produced by
NAVAIRSYSCOM utilizing policies contained in Reference a.
b. Aviation technical training systems produced under Reference a are approved within CNO
Navy Training System Plans and managed by CNATT in accordance with policies in Reference b.
c. Seat forecasting and quota management is governed by CNO and BUPERS per the
procedures of Reference c.
d. Personnel distribution policies including Fleet responsibility to screen orders of inbound
personnel for billet related training is contained in Reference d.
e. Procedures for requesting CNATT Mobile Training Teams are contained in Reference e.
f. The Training Requirement Review (TRR) process by which CNATT gathers Fleet feedback
for training improvement is governed by Reference f. Feedback can be submitted at any time via
NETC Fleet Feedback email to pnsc.netc.pao@navy.mil. Information should include course
identification number (CIN), course location and feedback comments. NETC will forward the
submission to the appropriate Learning Center to be reviewed at the next TRR.
g. When Fleet feedback reveals un-resourced issues, reference g. provides a process for
requesting design and cost analysis for submission to the OPNAV Resource Sponsor.
h. Reference h. identifies the process for requesting NATEC on-site training.
10.1.3.3 Funding and Seat Reservation
a. BUPERS is the primary source of TAD funding for training received enroute prior to
reporting to an ultimate duty station. TAD funding for other formal training is in accordance with
respective type/functional commander travel directives.
b. Course locations may be researched in the Catalog of Navy Training Courses (CANTRAC)
and reserved via the enterprise Navy Training Reservation System (eNTRS). BUPERS is the Quota
Control Authority for A and C-Schools, thus BUPERS Detailers may need to be contacted for seat
reservation.
c. Marine Corps aviation maintenance training that requires TAD and travel funds is requested
per Commanding General, Training and Education Command (TECOM) directives and the
CANTRAC. CG TECOM coordinates Marine Corps aviation training requirements and represents
CMC on all training matters.
10.1.3.4 Contractor field services training
NAVAIR program offices provide contractor field services training for new weapon systems being
introduced to the fleet. Fleet personnel are trained by the contractor either at the contractor's
facility or at a Fleet site. Fleet personnel ordered to this specialized training program must be of the
highest caliber and capable of instructing other personnel upon completion of the training.
10.1.3.5 Training Model Managers (TMMs)
TMMs provide systematic review and evaluation of training for respective community weapon
systems. The TMM is normally the lead Wing or equivalent I-level FRC organization with
10-4
1 Feb 2021
expertise on the system and therefore best able to evaluate or propose changes to training curricula
or syllabi.
10.1.4 In-Service Training Requirements
10.1.4.1 QPT
Navy personnel performing duties covered by the QPT Program must complete the QPT
certification commensurate with their duties and paygrade.
10.1.4.2 AMSTRP
Marine Corps personnel must complete the AMSTRP requirements for their MOS.
NOTES: 1. QPT and AMSTRP certifications may be used as qualification elements for
attaining certain job specific, by name designations or licenses. However, a QPT or
AMSTRP certification will not be used as a substitute for designation or licensing;
for example, designation as a Plane Captain, Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI),
Quality Assurance Representative (QAR), Safe for Flight (SFF), or licensing
auxiliary power unit (APU) or engine turn-up.
2. Navy Type Wings operating the F-35 aircraft may establish QPT qualification
programs modeled after the Marine Corps AMSTRP for F-35 MOS. Guidance
must be published in a Wing instruction.
10.1.4.3 JQR
Qualification for a maintenance duty not covered by the QPT Program, AMSTRP or a
NAVEDTRA PQS must be conducted per a published JQR. The JQR must include all elements
required to attain qualification (as applicable):
a. Formal training courses (10.1.3)
b. Required reading.
c. IMI.
d. Related general qualifications, for example, flight deck firefighting and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR).
e. SE license requirements.
f. OJT in specific maintenance and administrative tasks related to the job. Figure 10.1-1
provides an example of an OJT syllabus.
10.1.4.4 OJT
OJT must be conducted and documented in a task until the trainee is qualified. Supervisors will
recommend final qualification only when confident the individual is knowledgeable and skilled in
that area. Once the Work Center Supervisor certifies an individual as qualified in a task, OJT
documentation for that task is no longer required. Procedures:
10-5
1 Feb 2021
a. OJT will be performed under the supervision and instruction of qualified and designated
personnel. Designated qualifiers will sign-off completion of tasks (line items), only if the
individual demonstrates thorough knowledge and skill in the practical application of the task.
b. The preferred method of OJT is hands-on performance of the task. Simulation may be used
when it is impractical to perform the actual task. As applicable, OJT will include:
(1) General administrative duties, for example, work order (WO) or maintenance action
form (MAF), and logs and records entries
(2) Use of technical manuals, reports, and reference materials
(3) Use of tools and test equipment
(4) Inspection and maintenance procedures
(5) General and T/M/S or equipment specific corrosion control inspection, treatment and
prevention procedures.
(6) Quality assurance (QA) certification requirements.
(7) Post task question and answer session to assess the trainee’s level of comprehension.
NOTES: 1. Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System
(NALCOMIS) download may be used to document completion of an OJT task
unless specified to be documented in a paper or electronic training document, for
example, a QPT PQS syllabus.
2. OJT refresher training in technical or administrative procedures is required
whenever personnel demonstrate a lack of knowledge or skill in task areas for which
they have been previously signed off as qualified to perform.
10.1.4.5 Lesson Guides and IMI

10.7 NAMP Compliance Auditing (NAMPSOP)

10.7.1 Introduction
a. This NAMPSOP directs requirements for Organizational Level (O-level) and Intermediate
Level (I-level) Navy and Marine Corps aviation maintenance activities to audit their compliance
with NAMP policy.
b. Auditors are responsible for verifying compliance by thoroughly examining aircraft,
engines, engine modules, equipment, records, documentation, and personnel involved in the
process. The key factors to the effectiveness of an audit are the auditor’s knowledge of the process
inspected, attention to detail, and sampling a sufficient percentage of the aircraft, equipment,
records, and personnel involved.
c. For simplicity, the generic term “program” is used to describe maintenance processes.
Figure 10.7-1 lists programs audited by O-level and I-level activities.
10.7.2 Audit Categories:
a. Program Manager audits are in-depth inspections performed by the designated Program
Manager to assess compliance throughout the activity.
b. Quality Assurance (QA) audits are random sample inspections performed by the designated
QA Representative (QAR) Program Monitor to determine compliance with select NAMP programs.
c. Work Center audits are inspections performed jointly by the Division Officer and the
Division or Branch Chief to assess individual work centers for:
(1) Correct manning per the authoritative manpower document.
(2) Adequate numbers of certified or designated personnel assigned to accomplish the
workload, for example; Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representatives (CDQAR), Collateral
Duty Inspectors (CDI), and Plane Captains.
(3) Adequate material condition of equipment, tools, and facilities.
(4) Compliance with maintenance safety requirements and Navy Occupational Safety and
Health (NAVOSH) or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
(5) Cleanliness and condition of workspaces.
(6) Compliance with basic NAMP policies applicable to the work center, for example, tool
container inventories, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and hydraulic contamination prevention
measures on uninstalled components, and correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
d. Special audits are unscheduled inspections performed to investigate suspected non-
compliance with specific programs or processes.
10.7.2.1 The Computerized Self Evaluation Checklist (CSEC) is the standardized list of questions
and references for conducting NAMP Compliance Audits. The CSEC also serves as the database
for collecting and tracking discrepancy and corrective action data.
10-72
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: CSEC questions may not list every required action of the referenced policy
document. Program Managers and QAR Program Monitors must be familiar with
all program requirements.
a. The CSEC database is divided into three categories of inspecting activities: Aviation
Maintenance Management Team (AMMT), Wing (Type Wing/Marine Air Wing), and Activity.
(1) The AMMT database is used by COMNAVAIRFOR and COMNAVAIRSYSCOM
AMMTs when conducting Aviation Maintenance Inspections (AMI) and Maintenance Program
Assessments (MPA).
(2) The Wing database is used by Type Wings and Marine Aircraft Wing (MAWs) when
conducting MPAs.
(3) The Activity database is used by activities when auditing programs and individual work
centers.
b. COMNAVAIRFOR N422C NAMP Policy is the lead for the O-level and I-level CSEC.
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM 5.0D is the lead for the D-level CSEC. CSECs can be downloaded from
the NAVAIR website at (https://myteam.navair.navy.mil/KM/60/business-processes/policy-and-
standards-ofc-processes/NAMP).
10.7.3 Requirements
a. O-level and I-level activities must conduct QA audits for applicable programs (Figure 10.7-
1) at least once every 12 months.
b. The most current version of the CSEC will be used for conducting audits. Type Wing or
MAW Supplemental CSECs will be used, if applicable.
c. Auditors are responsible for verifying compliance by thoroughly examining aircraft, engine,
engine modules, equipment, records, documentation, and personnel involved in the process.
d. Audit discrepancies must be entered in the QA CSEC database and corrected within 10
working days from completion of the audit.
e. Corrective action for Program Manager and QA audit discrepancies will be tracked by the
designated Program Manager until corrective action is complete.
f. Corrective action for Work Center audit discrepancies will be tracked by the responsible
Division Officer or Division Chief until corrective action is complete.
g. QA will track all discrepancies that have not been corrected within 10 working days of
completion of the audit. The discrepancy tracker may be maintained as an electronic or paper file
in any format QA deems most efficient. Figure 10.7-2 provides an example.
10-73
1 Feb 2021
a. (Production Support Branch) Maintain the CSEC software and core question database on the
NAVAIR SharePoint site.
b. (Aviation Maintenance Management branch) Approve changes to the CSEC used by D-level
activities.

Publish CSEC Supplemental questions if needed to address requirements specific to the type of
aircraft maintained or unique processes covered by Wing LCPs.
a. Designate a Program Manager for each applicable program (Figure 10.7-1). If a specific
billet is not designated as the Program Manager in the figure or in the applicable NAMPSOP, the
MO will designate the individual whose rate or experience best qualifies them to be Program
Manager. Designation will be in writing via ASM.
NOTE: If ASM is not available, designation will be made via naval letter.
b. Review the results of Program Manager audits and QA audits and provide direction on
corrective actions, if required. MO review of Division Officer work center audits is optional.
c. Direct special audits when deemed necessary. The MO will specify the scope of the special
audit and who will conduct it.
d. Publish an LCP per Appendix D only if required to specify command-specific audit
procedures not addressed in this NAMPSOP. Squadron LCPs will be submitted to the Type Wing
or MAW for consideration of developing a Wing LCP.
10.7.4.5 Quality Assurance Officer
a. Designate a qualified QAR as Program Monitor for each applicable program (Figure 10.7-1).
Designation will be in writing via ASM. If Program Monitor qualifications are specified in the
applicable Chapter 10 NAMPSOP, the QAR must meet the qualifications prior to being designated
as the Program Monitor. If the applicable NAMPSOP does not specify Program Monitor
qualifications, the QAR whose Navy rate/Marine Corps MOS and experience best qualifies them to
audit the program will be designated.
b. Brief the Maintenance Officer on the status of the CSEC Discrepancy Tracker (Figure 10.7-

(2) When required for SE, per paragraph 10.17.3.3.e
(3) When required to add new requirements to existing NAVAIR MRC decks
(4) When the operating activity determines Periodic Maintenance (PM) is required and no
other source of information specifies PM procedures
b. LMRC decks will be numbered with the activity’s three-digit Organization Code and a
sequential number containing the following elements:
(1) The applicable two digit general subject classification listed in NAVAIR 00-25-100, WP
004 00, Figure 2, followed by “600” to denote MRC. Example: 19-600 denotes a ground servicing
equipment MRC.
(2) A locally assigned two digit sequential number to identify the deck
(3) Either “6-1” to identify a Pre-Operational Inspection or “6-2” to identify a PM
requirement
Example: “PK2 19-600-22-6-1” is the number of an LMRC issued by Organization Code
PK2. The LMRC is for SE (19-600), is the 22nd deck issued, and is for a pre-operational

10.9.2 Introduction
10.9.2.1 The Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP) establishes
requirements for reporting deficiencies that impact naval aviation aircraft and equipment due to
substandard materials, workmanship, and technical publications.
NOTE: Activities operating or maintaining F-35 aircraft will follow the discrepancy
reporting procedures and processes outlined within the F-35 Joint Program Officer
Sustainment Operating Instruction (SOI) 1514.02 Problem Reporting and
Resolution.
10.9.2.2 NAMDRP establishes policy for Aircraft Delivery Deficiency Reports (ADDR),
Acceptance Inspection Deficiency Reports (AIDR), Baseline Trouble Reports (BTR), Hazardous
Material Reports (HMR), Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR), and Technical Publication
10-100
1 Feb 2021
Deficiency Reports (TPDR). NAMDRP also directs policy for Engineering Investigations (EI) to
determine the cause of material discrepancies that impact the airworthiness of aircraft or the safety
of aircrew or maintenance personnel.
10.9.2.3 In combination with other policy directives, NAMDRP provides for the reporting of the
full spectrum of discrepancies that affect naval aviation maintenance. NAMDRP directly supports
the objectives of SECNAVINST 4855.3 Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program.
NAMDRP also supports the discrepancy reporting of OPNAVINST 8000.16 Naval Ordnance
Management Policy, NAVSUP Publication 723 Navy Inventory Integrity Procedures, and Defense
Transportation Regulation 4500.9 cargo transportation policy.
10.9.2.4 Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers, Quality Management Group (COMFRC, QMG) is
the program manager for PQDRs, AIDRs, and ADDRs. Fleet Support Team (FST) Engineering
Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) East is the program manager for HMRs and EIs. COMFRC
Technical Data Department is the program manager for TPDRs. NAWCAD Air Systems Logistics
Product Customer Service Branch is the program manager for BTRs.
10.9.3 Deficiency Report (DR) Procedures
10.9.3.1 General
a. Category 1 (CAT 1 or CAT I) DRs are used to describe deficiencies, discrepancies, and
defects that create a safety risk that could result in death or injury to personnel, risk of damage to or
loss of aircraft, equipment, or facilities. Category 2 (CAT 2 or CAT II) DRs are used to describe
deficiencies, discrepancies and defects that do not create a safety risk or potential for damage, but
do pose a risk to the quality of maintenance and operational readiness.
b. Deficiency reports do not fulfill the requirement for submitting a Hazard Report per
OPNAVINST 3750.6 on conditions that can cause injury, illness, or death to personnel; damage to
or loss of a system, equipment or property; or damage to the environment. Commands are required
to submit a separate OPNAVINST 3750.6 Hazard Report when the incident or discrepancy meets
the intent of both instructions.
NOTE: DRs related to mishaps must not contain privileged information. Refer to
OPNAVINST 3750.6 for restrictions.
c. Deficiency reports on suspected or known material defects will not be submitted with the
phrase “Submitted for Tracking, Trending, or for Informational Purposes Only”. The FST or
Quality team will determine required action based on their review of the deficiency. It will be
assumed an investigation will take place, unless the FST or Quality Team closes the investigation,
via a Closing Report or Response, to include instructions for disposition of the exhibit (if
applicable).
d. The Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS) website (https://jdrs.mil) will be used to
submit ADDR, AIDR, BTR, HMR, PQDR (CAT I and II only), and TPDR. JDRS enables the
creation, transmission, and tracking of DRs. JDRS automatically routes reports to assigned Fleet
Support Team (FST), Quality Teams, and other concerned activities, based on the report type
submitted and the FST, Quality Team, and Software Product Team (SWPT) selected via the
10-101
1 Feb 2021
Support Team Points of Contact (STPOC) ST Lookup tool. Activities can receive reports, request
other information, and conduct technical dialog with the originator, exhibit holding activity, FST
Engineer, and Quality Teams within JDRS.
e. Conventional Ordnance Discrepancy Reports (CODR) and Explosive Event Reports (EER)
will be submitted via the All Weapons Information System (AWIS) website
(https://awis.navair.navy.mil/AWIS/index.asp). Explosive Mishap Reports (EMR) will be reported
to Risk Management Information (RMI) via the Air Force Safety Automated System website
(https://afsas.safety.af.mil/).
f. Supply Discrepancy Reports (SDR) will be submitted via the Product Data Reporting and
Evaluation Program Automated Information System (PDREP AIS)
(https://www.pdrep.csd.disa.mil/#).
g. Transportation Discrepancy Reports (TDR) will be submitted via USTRANSCOM public
website (https://www.ustranscom.mil/).
h. Corrections to aircraft NATOPS or tactical manuals will be reported per CNAF M-3710.7.
i. Corrections to non-technical references, such as command instructions and notices, will be
reported to the issuing command.
j. Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SM&R) code discrepancies and change
recommendations will be submitted per NAVAIRINST 4423.12.
NOTES: 1. When JDRS is not accessible, CAT I and CAT II DRs will be transmitted by
naval message in the format shown in the HMR Report Message Template (Figure
10.9-1), Category 1 Technical Publication Deficiency Report (Figure 10.9-2) or
Baseline Trouble Report Message (Figure 10.9-3). Priority precedence will be used
for CAT I DR messages. Routine precedence will be used for CAT II messages.
2. If the FST, Quality Team, or SWPT cannot be determined, contact the JDRS
Clearinghouse Representative via JDRS using the Technical Dialog tool or the
“Help Menu”, under the “Contract Us” link.
3. Uploading classified information or images to AWIS, JDRS, or PDREP AIS
websites is strictly prohibited.
10.9.3.2 Report Control Number (RCN)
The originating activity must assign a RCN to each DR in the following format:
a. Element (1) – Service Designator Code (N, V, or R) of the originating activity.
• Use “N” for Navy and Marine Corps aviation non-deploying units.
• Use “V” for Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Atlantic Fleet operating forces.
• Use “R” for Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Pacific Fleet operating forces.
b. Elements (2) through (6) – DODAAC/UIC of the originating activity, for example, 54056.
10-102
1 Feb 2021
c. Elements (7) and (8) – Calendar Year, for example, 10.

d. Elements (9) through (12) – Locally assigned control numbers (numeric only), sequentially
numbered throughout the calendar year without regard for type of report. For example, the first
report of the year is an AIDR assigned control number 0001; the second report is an HMR
assigned control number 0002; the third report is another AIDR assigned control number 0003;
the fourth report is a TPDR assigned control number 0004.
NOTE: The RCN or message report Date Time Group (DTG) must be referenced on all
correspondence.
10.9.3.3 Aircraft Delivery Deficiency Report (ADDR)
a. ADDRs are submitted by Depot FRCs to document deficiencies associated with inadequate
periodic maintenance (PM) found by Depot FRC Aircraft Examiners during rework, modification,
Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI), Integrated Maintenance Concept/Program (IMC/P), or long-
term storage where the Depot FRC has accepted custody.
b. ADDRs will be sent to the squadron that inducted the aircraft.
c. The initial ADDR (including zero deficiency responses) must be submitted via JDRS within
20 calendar days of completion of the initial evaluation. Initial ADDRs will include detailed
descriptions of material condition, corrosion discrepancies, associated O-level periodic maintenance
and requirements, and focus area lists (as applicable). The Depot FRC will upload a picture of the
discrepancy that has a “2” as the second digit of the MAL Code (Exfoliation) and any MAL Code
that has the third digit as a “3” or “4” (Severe or Flight Critical).
d. Depot FRC must submit supplemental ADDRs within 30 calendar days of completion of the
Depot event. Supplement ADDRs are a continuation of the initial ADDR report and uses the same
RCN as the initial ADDR. Add “Supplemental” to the title in block 6, and continue numbering
from the deficiencies on the initial ADDR. Supplemental ADDRs will include a Maintenance
Requirement Card (MRC) Deck or Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) Special
Inspection correlation and turnaround and material costs summary, man-hours, engineering hours,
and corrective actions taken by the originator. Remarks must contain details that clearly identify
the problem, corrective actions, and parts required.
e. ADDRs will be submitted via the JDRS website.
10.9.3.4 Acceptance Inspection Deficiency Report (AIDR)
a. An AIDR must be submitted for all newly manufactured, modified, or newly reworked
aircraft, including Planned Maintenance Intervals (PMI) and other scheduled Depot events.
b. AIDRs will only list those deficiencies attributed to the manufacture, modification, or
rework processes. Discrepancies not directly pertaining to the quality of rework, manufacture, or
not covered in the negotiated work package or rework specification will not be reported in an
AIDR.
10-103
1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. An AIDR is required even if no deficiencies attributable to manufacturing,

modification, or rework processes are found. In this case, no deficiencies will be
listed, and JDRS will auto-default to a “No Deficiency Noted, AIDR”.
2. An AIDR is not required for Depot In-Service Repairs (ISR). Document
discrepancies with ISR work on a Field Maintenance Team Feedback Report per
local instructions.
3. Do not use an AIDR to report equipment shortages, ferry or shipping damages,
or deterioration during pool storage. Contact the providing activity for resolution.
4. Malfunction Code “174” will be used on AIDRs, Work Order (WOs), and
Maintenance Action Forms (MAFs) related to AIDR deficiencies.
c. AIDRs (including No Deficiencies Noted reports) will be submitted via the JDRS website
within 5 calendar days after completion of the acceptance inspection functional check flight. If no
functional check flight is required, the AIDR will be submitted within 5 calendar days after
completion of the acceptance inspection. The AIDR will include discrepancies noted by the ferry
aircrew, if attributable to manufacture, modification, or rework process.
NOTES: 1. Manufacturing, modification, or rework process deficiencies found within 30
calendar days of the initial AIDR will be reported on a supplemental AIDR using a
new RCN. Add “Supplemental” to the title in block 6; i.e., change from Initial
AIDR to Supplemental AIDR.
2. Components or parts deficiencies discovered during initial acceptance of newly
manufactured, modified, or reworked aircraft must also be reported on a PQDR per

the FST or Quality Team. The FST, or Quality Team will make every effort to
acknowledge the DR within this instruction’s timeframes.
3. DRs received during scheduled facility shutdown periods (weekends/holidays)
will be acknowledged the next working day.
b. Take timely action on all EI requests per COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Research and
Engineering Group EI Process Timeline (Figure 10.9-6). FST may request assistance in completing
an EI or initiating an EI within the FST organization when a problem is suspected and has not been
reported.
c. If the FST is unable to complete an EI because of equipment or facility limitations,
specialized engineering discipline requirements, or other reason(s), FST will request assistance
from an appropriate Navy technical activity or contractor establishment. Assistance from other
FSTs will be requested by message with an information copy to the PMA and
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. Assistance from other Navy technical activities or contractors will be
requested by the FST to the appropriate COMNAVAIRSYSCOM code on the Partial Listing of
FST (Equipment Supported) (Figure 10.9-8). When contractor assistance is required and a support
contract exists, request for assistance may be sent directly to the appropriate ACO by message.
Approval by the PMA is required prior to obligating funds for any contractor assistance services.
d. Process investigations as follows:
(1) Determine if the HMR or PQDR was sent to the correct FST, or Quality Team. If not,
readdress the request to the correct FST, or Quality Team, via JDRS website Acknowledge Receipt
tool, for action and inform the originator of the action taken.
(2) If the correct FST, or Quality Team cannot be identified, forward the report to the JDRS
Clearinghouse, via the JDRS website Acknowledge Receipt.
10-119
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Immediate acknowledge receipt or forward action must be taken to ensure the
correct FST, or Quality Team completes the acknowledge Receipt Process within
AIDR, EI, and/or PQDR Process Timelines (Figures 10.9-5, 10.9-6, and 10.9-7).
(3) Liaison with the report originator (as required) to obtain amplifying or clarifying
information on the reported discrepancy or failure.
(4) Study the history of failures and determine if an EI is needed on the equipment or
material in question.
(5) Confirm the criticality (CSI, CAI, or noncritical) of the discrepant item or establish the
criticality if a determination had not previously been made. Every HMR, EI, and PQDR processed
through JDRS contains a link by which criticality determinations or recommendations can be
submitted to appropriate Critical Item Managers. This facilitates updating the official Critical Item
database to ensure the DOD community is aware and responsive to issues relating to critical parts.
(6) Close deficiency reports and/or EI requests via a JDRS Closing Report when an
investigation will not be conducted.
NOTE: Include the Supply Department or unit holding the material as an action addressee
within the Closing Report. Provide instructions stating the material will not be
required for investigation and may be released for repair via normal supply
channels.
(7) Complete the JDRS website Go or No Go tool to determine the engineering risk, cost
analysis, or other factors that indicate whether an investigation is required. Use the Technical
Dialog tool to communicate with the report originator or other POCs when additional informational
is required.
(8) When it is determined that an investigation is required, assign an Investigation Control
Number (ICN) and provide the JDRS Preliminary Disposition Report/Shipping Instructions, for the
discrepant equipment or material or describe the arrangements for an onsite investigation. All
exhibits must be shipped as directed by the Preliminary Disposition Report/Shipping Instructions.
(9) Use the ICN numbering system, for example, WC3EI-AV8-0001-04S, for deriving ICNs
per the following:
(a) The first elements of the ICN must be the three-character D-level identifier
(Organization Code) per the Deckplate Organization Code Translator at
https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/#/, then References and select Organization Lookup, followed by
“EI” or PQDR” and a dash (-).
(b) The second element of the ICN must be the two-, three-, or four-character system
identifier (H60, T400, ACCY, ELEC, AVNC, etc.), followed by a dash (-). For PQDR, the
investigative quality organization may be used vice system identifier.
(c) The third element of the ICN must be a four-character sequentially assigned number
beginning with “0001” for the first assigned HMR/PQDR in a new calendar year, followed by a
dash (-).
10-120
1 Feb 2021
(d) The fourth element of the ICN must be the two-digit calendar year identifier, (ex.
“07” for calendar year 2007), followed by a request urgency indicator of “R” for Routine (CAT II),
“S” for Safety, or “M” for Mishap related (CAT I).
(10) Develop an Exhibit Examination Plan via JDRS. Ensure the examination plan is
provided to the investigating activity and customer service team. Notify local investigating activity
receiving personnel of the request for the equipment/material exhibit can be properly identified and
routed when received.
(11) Follow-up on equipment or material non-receipt. Under normal circumstances, follow-
up must be made within four calendar days for CONUS (eight calendar days for OCONUS
shipping) after the response message. The period may be extended if it is known that shipment will
take longer than 20 calendar days. Follow-up includes a JDRS Tracer Request to the originator and
supply activity responsible for shipping the material. Checks are also conducted with the local
supply activity, Customer Service Team charged with receiving the material, site delivery points,
and repair receiving points to ensure the material is delivered to the correct destination.
NOTE: All possible follow-up actions must be taken, particularly on equipment/material
related to CATI EIs and PQDRs, and aircraft mishaps.
(12) Conduct or arrange for the completion of the EI. EIs must be assigned Priority 1 or 2
depending on the FSTs assessment of the probable impact or effect of the reported problem. EIs in
support of aircraft mishaps must be assigned Priority 1.
NOTE: The originator’s recommended or requested priority must be given serious
consideration.
(13) Convert the EI to a PQDR if the investigation determines the failure was the result of
poor quality.
(14) If completion of an investigation requires assistance from another FST, or Quality Team
request assistance directly from the FST, or Quality Team with information copy to the PMA. If
another Navy technical activity or a contractor will complete the investigation, forward a letter or
message to the appropriate COMNAVAIRSYSCOM program office requesting assistance. In
either case, the report originator must be officially notified of the change in Action Points and
provided with new contact points. Any Navy activity or contractor performing an investigation
must submit a report of findings, conclusions, and recommendations to the FST/Acton Point only.
The FST/Action Point will review or amend the report, and then issue a final report or closing
action.
(15) Final Reports must be completed within the prescribed timeframes shown within each
individual Process Timeline (Figures 10.9-5, 10.9-6, or 10.9-7). Total time allowed to complete the
Final Reports from receipt of the exhibit (or the beginning of the Examination Cycle) varies
dependent upon whether the investigation is a result of a CAT I mishap, a CAT I non-mishap, or a
CAT II failure. If the final report cannot be completed within the timeframe shown within each
individual Process Timeline (Figures 10.9-5, 10.9-6, or 10.9-7), an interim report or message must
be provided to the originator at the specified intervals until the Final Report is released.

(16) Return, or provide for the return of, the unserviceable equipment or material to the CST
for disposition. Use the JDRS website (https://jdrs.mil) Material Disposition tool to inform the CST
of the condition of the material and disposition direction. Serviceable RFI material will be certified
as such, and applicable documentation (RFI Tag, etc.) will accompany the component. If the
equipment or material or extensively disassembled and salvageable, it may be inducted for rework
and should be entered into the Supply System inventory under the proper condition code. In the
case of EIs and/or PQDRs supporting mishap investigations, no disposition of the equipment or
material will be made until released by the senior member of the AMB per OPNAVINST 3750.6.
NOTE: Mishap material must be managed and maintained by the cognizant FST. It is the
responsibility of the Engineering Team to conduct follow up actions or disposition
requests to the AMB. Once the AMB approves the material disposition, the
Engineering FST will contact the JDRS Clearinghouse for workflow assistance to
reopen the DRs Disposition tool. The FST will then dispose of the material, via
normal Material Disposition means. The Customer Service Team (CST) will return
the material from “L” condition to either “A” “F” or “H” as instructed and process
accordingly.
(17) FSTs will support the processing of PQDRs for assigned material per paragraph
10.9.6.1. Activities responsible for investigations must take action on PQDR requests per

contact the TPDR originator to discuss the reason(s) for downgrading the TPDR. If
the decision to down grade is made, the FST will select the “Downgrade” feature in
JDRS, to indicate the TPDR has been downgraded to a CAT 2, 3, or 4.
3. CAT 3 and 4 TPDRs must be held for additional review, validation, and
incorporation as funding permits. The FST will attempt to incorporate CAT 3 and
4 TPDR with higher priority manual changes. Program offices will review the
volume of CAT 3 and CAT 4 TPDR accumulated against active technical
publications biannually and fund their incorporation, at a minimum, once every 3
years.
(3) Provide TPDR status to the ACC, TYCOM, or PMA.
(4) Coordinate with the NATEC TPDR Clearinghouse to resolve problems with the
identification of responsibilities, to ensure they are:
(a) Assigned to the correct engineering and data management authorities.
(b) Managed effectively to provide technical publication users timely and accurate
corrective actions.
(c) Initiate changes to technical publications under their engineering authority, to correct
deficiencies found by the FST or to revise publications by incorporating acquisition related
technical data, such as formal TDs. The FST will use JDRS “Fast Track” option to initiate TPDRs
for any changes made to their publications, using each TPDR initiated to establish a Technical
Manual Source Data Record as the authorized method of effecting a change to a publication.

PERSONNEL. DURING TRAINING AND ACTIVATION OF THE FOUR LINE RELEASE SYSTEM, THE DAISY CHAIN
SECURING LINES 1 AND 2 FAILED TO UNCHAIN. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE FF THREAD ENTERS AND
EXITS THE FLUTE TOO CLOSELY, THE INDIVIDUAL THREADS OF THE FLUTE WEBBING WILL BREAK INSTEAD OF
THE FF THREAD. IF THE LAST LOOP OF THE DAISY CHAIN IS NOT PULLED INTO THE FLUTE TO POSITION IT
DIRECTLY UNDER THE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF THE FF THREAD IN THE FLUTE, THE THREAD WILL BREAK
BUT COULD BE PULLED THROUGH THE FLUTE WEBBING AND BE OF SUFFICIENT LENGTH TO BECOME
ENTANGLED IN THE DAISY CHAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOCKING OF THE REMAINING DAISY CHAIN AS IT DID
IN THIS CASE. IF THE FF THREAD DOES NOT PIERCE THE LANYARD THROUGH THE CENTER, BUT ONLY
CATCHES A PORTION OF THE OUTER CASING, IT IS POSSIBLE TO RUPTURE THE OUTER CASING OF THE
LANYARD AND FAIL TO BREAK THE FF THREAD TACKING. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
M. RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. RECOMMEND FOLLOWING WARNING BE INSERTED BETWEEN STEPS 13 AND 14 OF PARA 15-18A OF REF B:
WARNING - ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF THE FF THREAD ARE AT LEAST 1/4 INCH APART. THE LAST LOOP OF
THE DAISY CHAIN IS PULLED FAR ENOUGH INTO THE FLUTE TO POSITION IT DIRECTLY BENEATH THE ENTRY
AND EXIT POINTS OF THE FF THREAD.
2. RECOMMEND FIG 15-12C BE CHANGED TO SHOW EMPHASIS ON SEPARATION OF ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF
THE FF THREAD AND POSITIONING OF THE LAST LOOP.

Management Program.
10.10.2 Introduction
The Technical Directive (TD) Compliance Program directs procedures for TD compliance by O-
level, I-level, and D-level activities.
10.10.2.1 NAVAIR issues TDs for inspecting or altering the configuration of aircraft, engines,
systems, weapons, or equipment. NAVAIR 00-25-300 is the guiding instruction for creating,
approving, and issuing TDs.
NOTE: OPNAVINST 8000.16 is the guiding instruction for TDs applicable to weapons.
10.10.2.2 TDs are assigned to four categories based on type, urgency, and purpose:
a. Immediate Action - Assigned when unsafe conditions exist which, if uncorrected, could
result in fatal or serious injury to personnel, or extensive damage or destruction of valuable
property; and the conditions embody risks calculated to be unacceptable.
b. Urgent Action - Assigned when potentially hazardous conditions exist which, if uncorrected,
could result in personal injury or damage to valuable property or reductions in operational
readiness; and conditions that would compromise safety or embody risks calculated to be
acceptable within defined time and performance limits.
10-142
1 Feb 2021
c. Routine Action - Assigned to retrofit changes when the urgency does not warrant assignment
of Immediate Action or Urgent Action categories, and the risk is acceptable within broad time
limits.
d. Record Purpose - Assigned to Formal Change TDs issued to document configuration
changes that were incorporated in all affected equipment by the change designer or originator
before the TD was issued. The Record Purpose TD serves as the official record of an engineering
change in the Technical Directive Reporting System (TDRS) database.
10.10.2.3 NATEC San Diego, COMFRC HQ Technical Data Department, publishes the Weekly
Summary for Issued Technical Directives of all TDs issued during the previous week. This naval
message report is available on the NATEC website (https://mynatec.navair.navy.mil).
10.10.2.4 The primary DECKPLATE TDRS reports and lists used in managing TD compliance
are:
a. TDRS reports:
(1) NA500C, Aeronautical TD Index Report, provides a list of active TDs, applicable to
each type/model/series (T/M/S) aircraft and engine.
(2) NAT02, SE TD Listing (with index codes B and D), provides information by Type
Equipment Code and is used to screen for active and completed Support Equipment (SE) TDs.
(3) NAT04, Aviation Aircrew Equipment TD Listing (with index codes B and D), is used to

10.10.3 Requirements
10.10.3.1 Configuration Changes
10-143
1 Feb 2021
No configuration changes will be made to naval aviation systems including aircraft, engines,
airborne weapons, airborne systems and system components, aircraft launch and recovery
equipment, aviation SE, and training systems, unless directed by a TD. Exceptions:
a. Aircraft Controlling Custodian (ACCs) and Type Commander (TYCOMs) may authorize
one prototype installation of a proposed change. Approval to do more than one prototype requires
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM concurrence.
b. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM may authorize Record Purpose TDs for incorporation prior to
approval of the Formal Change TD.
10.10.3.2 TD Compliance
Aircraft, engines, SE, equipment, and components will be restricted from use, if assigned TD
category (Immediate Action, Urgent Action, or Routine Action TDs) are not complied with, before
expiration of the specified due date, time, or event.
NOTES: 1. Corrected Copy TDs do not require any action.
2. The Target Completion Date (TCD) listed on a TD is an administrative entry of
the issuer’s estimate of when the TD will be completed for all affected equipment.
Expiration of the TCD does not invalidate the TD, and does not require a deviation
or any other action by Fleet activities.
3. A Notice of Ammunition Reclassification (NAR) is not an authorized medium for
directing or authorizing the removal/replacement of installed aircraft or ALSS
cartridges/pyrotechnics/CADs/PADs or for affecting aircraft availability. The TD
system was established for that purpose. If a TD has not been received within three
days of receipt of a NAR affecting CADs, PADs, or aircraft availability, the
reporting custodian will request assistance from the ACC or TYCOM who in turn
will request status from COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department.
a. Immediate Action TDs must be complied with prior to the next flight or use of the affected
aircraft, engine, or equipment.
b. Immediate Action TDs affecting RFI spare engines, modules, SE, equipment, and
components must be complied with prior to issuance of the item, unless the using activity is the
level designated to incorporate the TD. For example, an I-level activity does not have to
incorporate Immediate Action and Urgent Action O-level TDs before declaring the item RFI.
c. Urgent Action TDs affecting operational aircraft must be complied with prior to launching
the aircraft on a mission that will exceed the compliance due date, time, or event.
NOTE: I-level activities may submit requests to the ACC Class Desk to incorporate D-level
TDs if material, tools, technical data, and skills are available.
d. Unless directed by the ACC, D-level activities will only incorporate O-level and I-level TDs
if the aircraft or item is sufficiently disassembled during normal D-level processing, incorporation
does not require a controlled kit, parts are readily available, and compliance adds no additional
direct man-hour cost. D-level activities will comply with O-level and I-level TDs if incorporation
10-144
1 Feb 2021
is needed in order to modify a part required to complete depot rework. Rapid Action Minor
Engineering Changes (RAMEC) will not be incorporated during depot rework, unless directed by
the ACC.
e. O-Level Inspection TD Compliance. Aircraft currently undergoing a Phase or Special
Inspection at the time of TD issuance, with a compliance due of that type inspection, will adhere to
the following:
(1) Immediate Action TDs issued while an aircraft is undergoing a Phase or Special
inspection must be incorporated regardless of whether or not completed work has to be redone.
(2) Urgent Action TDs with safety impact issued while an aircraft is undergoing a Phase or
Special inspection must be incorporated regardless of whether or not completed work has to be
redone. A request for authorization to defer until next like inspection will be sent to the ACC for
approval. Deviation procedures of 10.10.3.4.c apply.
(3) Urgent Action TDs without safety impact and Routine Action TDs issued while an
aircraft is undergoing a Phase or Special inspection will be incorporated only if no completed work
has to be redone. If TD incorporation requires unnecessary rework and will not be incorporated
during the inspection, the compliance due will be the next like inspection. Activities that desire
deviation of Routine TDs that do not require work to be redone due to operational necessity may
submit a one-time deferral. Deviation procedures of 10.10.3.4.b. apply.
f. I-level and D-level Item TD Compliance. Items currently undergoing Repair or Inspection at
the time of TD issuance, with a compliance due of that type of Repair or Inspection, will adhere to
the following:
(1) Immediate Action TDs issued while an item is undergoing disassembly, repair,
reassembly, or test must be incorporated regardless of whether or not completed work has to be
redone.
(2) Urgent Action TDs with safety impact that are issued while an item is in the repair,
reassembly, or test cycle must be incorporated regardless of whether or not completed work has to
be redone. A request for authorization to defer until next like inspection will be sent to the ACC for
approval. Deviation procedures of 10.10.3.4.c apply.
(3) Urgent Action TDs without safety impact and Routine Action TDs issued while an item
is in the repair, reassembly, or test cycle will be incorporated only if no completed work has to be
redone. If TD incorporation requires unnecessary rework and will not be incorporated during the
inspection, the compliance due will be the next like inspection.
NOTES: 1. “Item” applies to component, subcomponent, engine, ALSS, or SE.
2. For aircraft or items deferred until next like inspection or repair under
10.10.3.2.e.(3) or 10.10.3.2.f.(3), the reporting custodian will make a logbook entry
indicating deferral with compliance of next like inspection or repair following
procedures of 10.10.3.4.d.
10.10.3.3 I-level and D-level Engine TD Compliance
10-145
1 Feb 2021
a. Immediate Action TDs issued while an engine or engine module is undergoing disassembly,
repair, reassembly, or test must be incorporated regardless of whether or not completed work has to
be redone.
b. Urgent Action TDs with safety impact that are issued while an engine or engine module is in
the repair, reassembly, or test cycle must be incorporated regardless of whether or not completed
work has to be redone. If not specifically addressed in the TD, a request for direction to incorporate
or not incorporate an Urgent Action TD issued while an engine is in the post-assembly test cycle
will be sent to the ACC Engine Class Desk.
c. Urgent Action TDs without safety impact and Routine Action TDs issued while an engine or
engine module is in the repair, reassembly, or test cycle will be incorporated only if no completed
work has to be redone.
10.10.3.4 Compliance Deviation Procedures
a. Operational Commanders may authorize deferral of compliance for Immediate Action,
Urgent Action, and Routine Action TDs, if required due to combat operational necessity. Deviation
procedures of paragraph 5.3.10.6 apply.
b. O-level Commanding Officers (COs) may approve a one-time deferral of compliance for
Routine Action TDs if parts or kits are on order, but not received, or if the ability to accomplish
mission-essential flight operations will be affected by downing the affected aircraft or equipment.
Conditions for approval:
(1) Deferral will be granted to a specific bureau number (BUNO) aircraft or serial number
(SERNO) equipment or component.
(2) The affected aircraft or equipment has not already been granted a compliance deferral
for the subject TD.
(3) Deferral cannot exceed the next compliance due date, time, or event, for example, next
Phase Inspection.
NOTE: Deferral beyond the one-time CO contingency deviation requires ACC approval.
c. A naval message must be sent to the ACC, Type Wing or MAW, and CVW or ACE to
inform them of the contingency deviation. The message will contain details on the conditions of
the deviation, to include:
(1) T/M/S and BUNO (aircraft) or nomenclature, model number and serial number
(equipment).
(2) TD number and a summary of the TD requirement.
(3) Compliance due date, time, or event specified on the TD and when due for the affected
aircraft or equipment.
(4) Circumstances necessitating the deviation, for example “COMPLIANCE DEFERRAL
IS REQUIRED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS.” or “COMPLIANCE DEFERRAL IS REQUIRED
10-146
1 Feb 2021
TO MEET MISSION ESSENTIAL FLIGHT OPERATIONS.” If deferral is needed due to lack of

parts or kits, the NIIN and part number, requisition number, and estimated delivery date will be
included.
(5) Length of time deferral is needed, for example “TD WILL BE COMPLIED WITH
UPON RECEIPT OF PARTS” or “TD WILL BE COMPLIED WITH NO LATER THAN NEXT
PHASE.”
d. Compliance deviations not covered by Operational Commander combat deviations or CO
one-time contingency deviations must be requested from the ACC by naval message, with the
information listed in paragraph 10.10.3.4c.
e. Compliance deviations will be recorded in the Miscellaneous/History record of the CM ALS
or aircraft logbook, Aeronautical Equipment Service Record (AESR), Module Service Record
(MSR), Repair/Rework/Overhaul/Exceedances section of the Assembly Service Record (ASR),
maintenance record of the Equipment History Record (EHR), or repair/rework/overhaul section of
the Scheduled Removal Component (SRC) card. SE TD compliance deviations will be documented
in Section VI Miscellaneous History Record of the SE Custody and Maintenance History Record.
Entries must include the name and title of the approving activity, and the S/N and Date Time Group
(DTG) of the authorization letter or message. Activities with Aircraft Component Tracking System
(ACTS) must also make the entry in the ACTS component record.
Example 1 - Routine Action PPC 123 deferred for compliance due to lack of parts, in accordance
with COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2D Commanding Officer one-time deferral authority.
Reference message STRKFITRON ONE TWO THREE 310001Z OCT 16.
Example 2 - Routine Action PPC 123 NINC due to issuance while engine was in the reassembly
stage. Waiver granted until next induction to I-level or D-level for repair, per

message to the Parachute Record (OPNAV 4790/101), Seat Survival Kit Record (OPNAV
4790/137), Aircrew Systems Record (OPNAV 4790/138), or Aircrew Personal Equipment Record
(OPNAV 4790/159), and entering the information in the CM ALS Miscellaneous History section.
10.10.3.5 TD Compliance Verifications
a. A “BASELINE” TD compliance verification must be conducted upon receipt of aircraft,
engines, SE, maintenance trainers, and serial numbered weapon system components physically
assigned to the activity’s custody.
b. After completion of the BASELINE verification, “SUBSEQUENT” TD compliance
verifications will be completed every 12 months (at a minimum) of all TDs issued, incorporated, or
cancelled in the previous 12 months. The first SUBSEQUENT verification will be completed no
10-147
1 Feb 2021
later than (NLT) 12 months after the BASELINE review. After completion of a SUBSEQUENT
verification, the applicable TDRS report will be updated with current status and labeled
“SUBSEQUENT”. The most recent SUBSEQUENT report will be filed on top of the BASELINE
report in the aircraft historical file or AESR manila envelope, or other location directed by the TD
Compliance Program Manager.
NOTE: NA (administrative) amendment TDs in the “BASELINE” report do not have to be
reviewed during the “SUBSEQUENT” review.
c. A verification of NINC TD compliance due dates will be completed prior to each aircraft
phase inspection and prior to transfer. After completion of the transfer verification, the applicable
TDRS report will be updated with accurate status and labeled “TRANSFER”. The report will be
filed in the aircraft historical or AESR manila envelope.
d. The following reports will be reviewed during verifications:
(1) NA500C
(2) NAT02
(3) NAT04
NOTES: 1. Activities utilizing NTCSS Optimized OMA NALCOMIS (OOMA), will verify
the Outstanding TD Report upon completion of aircraft NA500C verification. All
discrepancies will be corrected and the report will be retained with the BASELINE
verification as a permanent document.
2. Removal of a TD from TDRS reports does not relieve reporting custodians of
responsibility to verify the status of the TD. Cancelled, completed (process of
removing TDs from TDRS reports), or superseded TDs will not be deleted from the
equipment record until the item the TD applies to has been replaced with a new part
number or removed due to obsolescence.
e. (Aircraft and Engines) NA500C report verification procedures:
(1) Download the NA500C report from DECKPLATE
(https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/#/). Select the NA500C and applicable T/M/S from the drop
down menu, and enter the fourth digit of the TEC in the TEC series block to obtain specific T/M/S
NA500C reports.
(2) Annotate TD status as INC (Incorporated), NINC (Not Incorporated), CANCELLED, or
NA (Not Applicable) next to each TD. Figure 10.10-1 is an example of an annotated NA500C
report.
NOTES: 1. NA annotations must include a reason, for example, “NA this BUNO,” “NA this
Part Number,” “extends TCD,” or “Updates Cog” (Admin Change is not
authorized).
2. TDs logged on specific EHR, SRC, ASR, MSR, and AESR must include the
following annotation on the NA500C report: “Refer to (nomenclature) (respective
10-148
1 Feb 2021
cards).” Examples: “Refer to O2 Concentrator EHR card” or “Refer to Aileron

SRC card.” A final TD status is still required such as INC, NINC, NA (with reason
for NA).
3. For INC TDs that are not on LIST04/04H and have not been verified with
REP07, verification is required (to ensure actual compliance of all assets).
(3) File the completed NA500C report in the aircraft historical file or AESR manila
envelope, or other location directed by the TD Compliance Program Manager.
f. (SE) TDRS NAT02 Report verification procedures:
(1) Download the NAT02 report each month from DECKPLATE
(https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/#/). Select the NAT02 report with Index Codes B & D for
“BASELINE” verifications and Index Code B for “SUBSEQUENT” verifications. Compare this
report to the previous “SUBSEQUENT” verification and research any differences noted.
(2) Annotate TD status applicability to specific equipment held within the activity.
Annotation can either be done electronically or by hard copy.
(3) Maintain a current annotated NAT02 with applicable TDs in the location directed by the
TD Compliance Program Manager.
(4) Document performance of NAT02 “BASELINE” verification and annual
“SUBSEQUENT” verification on the SE Custody and Maintenance History Record (OPNAV
4790/51) Section VI Miscellaneous History Record and NALCOMIS OOMA CM ALS
Miscellaneous section.
g. (ALSS) TDRS NAT04 Report verification procedures:
(1) Download the NAT 04 report each month from DECKPLATE
(https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/#/). Select the NAT 04 report with Index Codes B & D.
Compare this report to the previous report and research any differences noted.
(2) Annotate TD status applicability to specific ALSS equipment held within the activity
electronically or by hard copy.
(3) Maintain a current annotated NAT04 with applicable TDs in the ALSS work center or
other location as directed by the TD Compliance Program Manager.
10.10.3.6 TD Applicability Reviews
O-level and I-level activities will use the Technical Directive Review Checklist (Figure 10.10-2) to
document the review of newly received TDs.
10.10.3.7 TD Compliance Documentation
A work order (WO) or maintenance action form (MAF) will be used to document TD compliance,
per Chapter 15 and 16 procedures. If more than one work center is involved, a separate TD Assist
WO or MAF will be written for each assist work center to document their portion of the TD. If the
10-149
1 Feb 2021
TD has multiple parts, a separate WO or MAF must be initiated for each part. The WO or MAF
will be annotated as follows:
a. The Discrepancy block will be annotated with the due NLT compliance time or event, for
example, “Comply with NLT next Phase inspection” or “Comply with NLT next 10 flight hours.”
If compliance is based on an operating time (such as operating hours or number of arrested
landings), annotate the actual “Due NLT” time at which point the aircraft or equipment is restricted
from flight or use. For example, if current operating hours = 4321 and the specified compliance
time is NLT 10 hours after receipt of the TD, the Due NLT compliance time is 4321 + 10 = 4331
maximum aircraft or equipment hours before the TD is due.
b. Annotate time compliance in the system reason block (up to 25 characters). Example: “AFB
566/DUE NLT JD:21027” or “AFC 771/NXT PHS B A7227.0”
NOTES: 1. Activities operating OOMA will NOT complete TD tasks within the Task
Properties of CM Inventory Explorer. If a TD is confirmed to be incorporated, a
separate WO will be issued to report compliance up line.
2. The TD compliance time will be calculated from the DTG for TDs issued by
message and by the date of the letter for TDs issued by letter. For example, for TDs
requiring compliance based on flight hours, determine the time since new of the
aircraft or component as of the date of the message DTG (or date on the letter for
letter-type TDs), and add the comply NLT flight hours to calculate the compliance
deadline.
3. SE being documented by “lot” will have a separate WO or MAF for each item of
SE requiring a TD action per paragraph 10.17.3.4b NOTE. Activities are not
authorized to issue a single WO or MAF to incorporate a TD on an entire lot.
Review the SE PMS NAMPSOP paragraph 10.17.3.4 for further information on
“lot” documentation procedures.
4. A TD Compliance WO or MAF is not required for TDs specified as action for a
different level of maintenance. For example, O-level activities do not have to issue a
WO for TDs specified for I-level or D-level action.
5. Removal (de-configuration) of a previously-completed TD modification will be
documented in the same manner as TD incorporation, except for block A35 and the
(H-Z) record. TD Status Code Q will be entered in block A35 and the (H-Z) record
will be left blank per Chapter 15 and 16.
c. The following Transaction Codes will be used:
(1) Transaction Code 41 - Used for compliance with no P/N change and for non-serialized
components.
(2) Transaction Code 47 - Used for compliance on all serialized components, regardless of
whether there is a P/N change. Use of Transaction Code 47 requires the (E) and (G) sections of the
WO or MAF to be completed.
10-150
1 Feb 2021
d. Compliance logbook, record, and report entries:

(1) TD compliance will be documented on TDRS Lists Nos. 02 and 04, and in SE Custody
and Maintenance History Record (OPNAV 4790/51), Auto Log Sets, and component history cards
per Chapter 8.
(2) New AFC and AFB TDs will be added to TDRS List No 02
NOTE: If any item of SE documented as part of a lot did not receive the required TD action,
annotate (in pencil) the reason for noncompliance on the SE Custody and
Maintenance History Record (OPNAV 4790/51) in Column B of Section VI (next to
the S/N for that item). Once the TD has been complied with, erase the reason for
noncompliance from Section VI and record the item S/N in the remarks column of
Section IV (TD Section).

NOTE: The recommended method for annotating NA500C review is to download the report
and save it as an MS Excel or MS Word document, and enter the information into
the electronic file. Handwriting the information directly on a hardcopy NA500C is
also acceptable. Annotate the NA500C Report as follows:
(1) At the top of the report, write the word "BUNO" and enter the BUNO of the
aircraft that was reviewed.
(2) To the right of the BUNO, write the word "Baseline" or the word
"Subsequent" to indicate which type of verification was performed.
(3) To the left of the report column labeled "TD Cd”, write the word "Status",
and then enter the status next to each TD listed on the report. TD status can only be
entered in one of four ways: NA (not applicable), INC (incorporated), NINC (not
incorporated) or CANX (cancelled).
(4) In the top right margin on the NA500C, just below the NAVAIR logo, write
the words "TDPM signature", and then sign the report. The TDPM (TD Program
Manager) is the only required signature. The signature must contain name and rank
of the TDPM. If the TDPM delegated the verification review, the individual that
performed the verification must sign the report.

10.11 Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Prevention Program

10.11.1 Reference
a. OPNAVINST 3750.6, Naval Aviation Safety Management System
b. COMNAVSURFOR/COMNAVAIRFOR/MARINE CORPS ORDER 4790.3, Prevention of
Foreign Object Damage on CVN and LHD/LHA Class Ships
10.11.2.1 The FOD Prevention Program directs actions to identify, eliminate, and report the causes
of FOD. FOD presents a risk to aircraft, equipment and personnel, wastes maintenance man-hours
and reduces operational readiness. Preventing FOD is a command wide effort and must be
supported by individuals involved with naval aviation, regardless of their duty assignment.
10.11.2.2 Potential FOD is a condition where a foreign object is in a position to cause damage
when a product or system is used. FOD can be attributed to poor housekeeping, improper
maintenance practices, or carelessness, to include:
a. Tools, aircraft hardware, rags, and other foreign objects left near, or in the migratory path of
engine inlets, or in flight control areas (cockpit and other areas where flight control rods or
actuators move).
b. Tools, hardware, or debris left near, or in aircraft operating areas, such as runways, ramps,
taxiways, engine test cells, and hush houses.
c. Tools, hardware, or debris left near, or in the migratory path of the steering system for self-
propelled support equipment (SE).
d. Metal or wire clippings, solder balls, and other debris left near, or in electrical terminals,
circuitry, connectors, or components.
10.11.2.3 Primary actions for reducing FOD are:
a. Strict accounting of tools, equipment and materials used in performing maintenance tasks.
b. Thorough post maintenance cleaning and inspection of work performed and work areas.
c. Pre-operational inspections of engine inlets and flight control areas.
d. Periodic FOD Walk Downs to collect debris.
10.11.3.1 All Navy and Marine Corps activities, commercial and other government activities
operating naval aircraft, directly supporting flight operations, or repairing or maintaining aircraft,
engines, components, or SE must comply with the FOD Prevention Program.
10.11.3.2 Activities operating naval aircraft or conducting aircraft, engine, or SE maintenance must
have a FOD Prevention and Investigation Team. The team will consist of the FOD Prevention
Program Manager, Quality Assurance (QA) FOD Program Monitor, Power Plant Supervisor, and a
10-162
1 Feb 2021
Safety Department Representative. Air capable ships and air stations will have a FOD Prevention
and Investigation Team that includes at least one person from each ship or station department that
works in areas where aircraft operate or are maintained.
10.11.3.3 Activities operating aircraft must inspect assigned hangar and flight line or flight deck
areas prior to the first flight of the day and throughout the day, as needed, to sustain a FOD free
operating environment.
10.11.3.4 I-level and D-level activities that repair aircraft engines must inspect engine repair areas
and engine test facilities for potential sources of FOD at the beginning of each shift.
a. I-level activities must perform a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) or Collateral Duty
Inspector (CDI) inspection for potential sources of FOD in engines, modules, components, and SE
prior to certifying Ready For Issue (RFI).
b. D-level activities must perform a QA FOD inspection of aircraft, engines, modules,
components, and SE prior to certifying RFI.
10.11.3.5 Aviation capable ships must inspect the flight deck and hangar bays for potential sources
of FOD prior to commencement of flight operations and periodically throughout the day to sustain a
FOD free flight deck and hangar bays.
10.11.3.6 Air stations and other commands supporting shore based aircraft operations must inspect
runways and taxiways for potential sources of FOD prior to opening the airfield for take offs or
landings.
10.11.3.7 Aircraft that have not flown for 30 days or more must be inspected for potential sources
of FOD by a QAR or CDQAR personnel prior to releasing aircraft Safe for Flight. The inspection
must be documented on a work order (WO).
10.11.3.8 Aircraft compartments and migratory routes must be inspected for potential sources of
FOD by QAR or CDI personnel prior to closure. FOD free certification is voided if additional
maintenance is performed in the area after the QAR or CDI inspection.
NOTE: Inaccessible areas that contain foreign objects that cannot be removed will be noted
by an entry in the Miscellaneous History Section of the logbook or auto log-set
(ALS).
10.11.3.9 Tools, equipment, hardware, parts and other materials must be inspected, inventoried,
and accounted for prior to, during, and after maintenance completion.
NOTES: 1. Missing fasteners on aircraft, engines, SE, and other equipment used for aviation
maintenance and support must be marked and documented on a WO or
Maintenance Action Form (MAF).
2. Loose fasteners that present a FOD hazard must be removed and replaced per
T/M/S maintenance technical manuals. Loose fasteners determined by QA not to be
a FOD hazard must be marked and documented on a WO or MAF.
10-163
1 Feb 2021
10.11.3.10 Work spaces will be kept free of debris to minimize the risk of foreign objects
migrating to areas where aircraft or engines are operated.
10.11.3.11 Training Requirements. Indoctrination training on the FOD Prevention Program will be
given to all newly reporting personnel, and refresher training will be given to all personnel at least
once per year, per the Aviation Maintenance In-Service Training NAMPSOP paragraph 10.1.3.7.
FOD Prevention Program training will be conducted using a standardized FOD training syllabus.
The syllabus must include:
a. Types of FOD, how and where FOD occurs, and consequences of FOD.
b. Identification of FOD prone areas specific to the types of aircraft, engines, and equipment
operated/supported.
c. Identification of FOD hazards specific to the command’s operational and maintenance
environment.
d. FOD prevention methods, with emphasis on the individual’s specific job assignment.
NOTE: FOD prevention training must be included in the training syllabus of personnel that
operate motor vehicles or self-propelled SE on the flight line or flight deck.
10.11.3.12 Engine FOD Incident Investigation and Reporting.
10.11.3.12.1 Engine FOD Incident Reports are used to notify Wing, Aircraft Controlling Custodian
(ACC), and Fleet Support Team (FST) staff of major engine damage caused by foreign objects.
The intent of these reports is to determine if changes to aircraft or equipment configuration or
maintenance procedures are required to minimize the potential for FOD. FOD Incident Reports
(FOD-IR) are submitted via the Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS) website
(https://jdrs.mil/), which facilitates automatic routing of the report to the cognizant Wing/MAW,
FST, FRC/MALS, PMA APML, and TYCOM Engine Class Desk.
NOTE: Naval message FOD Incident Reports (Figure 10.11-1) will only be submitted if JDRS
connectivity is unavailable.
10.11.3.12.2 Engine FOD is defined as damage caused by ingestion of objects not organic to the
engine (including FOD due to natural causes, such as birds or ice) while operating in an aircraft or
on a test cell or stand.
NOTES: 1. Damage caused by failure of internal engine components is not FOD. Internal
engine failures must be documented per Chapter 15 (O-level) or Chapter 16 (I-level)
procedures. If flight safety is involved, the internal failure must be reported via
Hazardous Material Report (HMR) per Chapter 10.9 procedures. A mishap report
may also be required per OPNAVINST 3750.6.
2. Minor roughness or erosion of blades/vanes within serviceable limits are not
FOD.
10.11.3.12.3 Engine FOD is categorized as reportable and non-reportable:
10-164
1 Feb 2021
a. Reportable engine FOD requires removal of the engine or an engine module, or replacement
of an engine fan blade, or turbine.
b. Non-reportable engine FOD does not require engine or module removal, or replacement of
any engine fan blade, or turbine.
10.11.3.12.4 The FOD Prevention and Investigation Team must investigate all incidents of engine
FOD, regardless of reportable or non-reportable categorization. Procedures:
a. If determined to be reportable FOD, submit an Engine FOD Incident Report via JDRS
website (https://jdrs.mil/) within 5 working days of discovery. Submit Supplemental Engine FOD
Incident Reports whenever additional information becomes available after the initial Engine FOD
Incident Report.
NOTES: 1. If two or more engines on a multi-engine aircraft incur reportable FOD during a
single incident, report all affected engines on a single Engine FOD Incident Report.
2. If warranted, submit a Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting
Program (NAMDRP) Report (Hazardous Material Report (HMR), Product Quality
Deficiency Report (PQDR), or Technical Publications Deficiency Report (TPDR))
on material defects or technical publication deficiencies that resulted in a FOD
incident.
3. An Engine FOD Incident Report does not satisfy mishap reporting requirements
of OPNAVINST 3750.6. A separate mishap report may also be required.
4. A copy of the Engine FOD Incident Report must accompany each part removed
and turned in for repair with FOD.
5. Reportable FOD must be documented in the Aeronautical Equipment Service
Record (AESR)/Module Service Record (MSR)/ALS Miscellaneous History section
of the engine or module. Entry must include extent, cause, and disposition of the
engine or module job control number (JCN) of the WO or MAF, serial number, and
date time group (DTG) of the Engine FOD Incident Report (Figure 10.11-1).
Reportable FOD must be documented in the Aeronautical Equipment Service
Record (AESR)/Module Service Record (MSR)/ALS Miscellaneous History section
of the engine or module. Entry must include extent, cause, and disposition of the
engine or module job control number (JCN) of the WO or MAF, serial number, and
date time group (DTG) of the Engine FOD Incident Report (Figure 10.11-1).
b. If determined to be non-reportable FOD, submit a written report of the incident. The report
must contain the elements required in an Engine FOD Incident Report naval message (Figure
10.11-1). The report must be signed by the Maintenance Officer (MO) and reviewed by the
Commanding Officer (CO). The written report will be retained by QA until the engine is
transferred.
10.11.3.12.5 I-level and D-level repair facilities must inspect all engines/modules entering the
repair or maintenance cycle for evidence of FOD. If an engine or module is found to have
reportable FOD that was not documented on an Engine FOD Incident Report by the last operating
10-165
1 Feb 2021
activity, the repair facility must submit an initial Engine FOD Incident Report and include the last
engine operating activity as an information addressee. If the last engine operating activity
submitted an Engine FOD Incident Report, the repair facility must submit a Supplemental Engine
FOD Incident Report that cites the actual or evident cause of the FOD, foreign objects involved,
residual material recovered, location, pattern, distribution, type and extent of damage, and estimated
cost to repair.
10.11.3.12.6 When FOD is a direct result of an aircraft mishap, the WO for engine or module
removal will use Malfunction Description Code (MAL) 030 (mishap damage). The aircraft mishap
report must state justification for assigning MAL 030, and provide details of the damage the engine
or module sustained, per OPNAVINST 3750.6.

d. Verify pre-closure FOD inspections are being performed and documented on WO.
a. Periodically inspect division workspaces and work in progress to verify compliance with
FOD prevention requirements.
b. Promote participation in FOD walk downs by all members of the division.
a. Train personnel on how their job relates to the FOD Prevention Program. Document initial
job-related and annual refresher training in the individual's qualification/certification record or
ASM.
b. Direct work center personnel to participate in FOD walk downs.
c. Report FOD hazards to Maintenance Control or Production Control and FOD Prevention
Program Manager.
d. Control uninstalled parts (panels, components, lines, etc.) and fasteners (screws, bolts,
washers, quick disconnect pins, etc.) stored in the work center or in the hangar bay during work
stoppage or during complex, long repair processes such as engine changes or major inspections.
Stored components must be identified with local tags and loose parts or hardware must be stored in
MAF bags or other means allowing attachment to the component, and must be marked with the
(1) Work Center
(2) Aircraft BUNO or SE SERNO the component goes on.
(3) Hardware bags will contain nomenclature and count. Example: “Door fasteners, 10
pieces” or “Hydraulic pump hardware, 4 nuts with washers.”
(4) Name of CDI certifying fastener count.
e. (I-level) Verify SE is being inspected for hardware integrity prior to temporary issue. If any
hardware is missing and cannot be replaced prior to issue, the area will be marked with a red grease
pencil or marker. The discrepancy will be documented on a MAF and a copy kept with the SE
history record until the SE is returned and the missing hardware is replaced. Using the OPNAV
Form 4790/64 SE Transaction Report from NALCOMIS OIMA the discrepancy must also be
annotated.
f. Immediately initiate a search and notify Maintenance Control and QA whenever tools,
fasteners or other items used in a maintenance task are discovered missing.
a. Immediately remove or correct FOD hazards, such as foreign debris on the flight line or
flight deck or hangar deck, and loose fasteners on aircraft or equipment. If unable to correct the
hazard, report it to supervisors.

1 Feb 2021
b. Control all tools, equipment, hardware, and other materials used during a maintenance task.
As a minimum:
(1) Maintain positive control of removed components, hardware, and materials while work
is ongoing.
(2) Identify missing or uninstalled fasteners on SE, aircraft components and panels with a
“red circle” utilizing a grease pen or marker.
NOTE: An “uninstalled” fastener is not a missing fastener; the fastener was removed and not
reinstalled for some reason. The reason for not installing the fastener must be
documented on a WO or MAF, for example “Damaged nut plate in left hand upper
corner of Door 19. Fastener removed and will not be reinstalled until nut plate is
replaced. Fastener stored in W/C 120.” When the fastener is replaced, the grease
pen “red circle” must be removed.
c. Prior to QAR or CDI inspection of a maintenance task, account for all materials used and
thoroughly inspect the compartment in which maintenance was performed and in adjacent areas.
Immediately notify supervisors, if anything used during the maintenance task is missing.
d. Inspect engine ducts, plenum chambers, crevices, and cavities prior to engine start.
e. Perform pre and post-operational inspections of SE to verify material integrity.
f. Install doors, panels, duct covers, and other protective devices when not actively engaged in
maintenance on or adjacent to gas turbine engines.
g. Submit a WO or MAF to document missing or loose fasteners on aircraft and SE.
h. Inspect personal equipment for missing or loose parts prior to entering and after leaving the
flight line or flight deck.

10.12 Tool Control Program (TCP) (NAMPSOP)

10.12.1 Reference
NAVAIR 17-1, Tool Control Manual (series)
10.12.2.1 The Tool Control Program (TCP) NAMPSOP establishes minimum requirements for
controlling tools used by Navy and Marine Corps O-level, I-level, D-level, and commercial
activities performing maintenance on naval aviation aircraft, engines, components, and equipment.
10.12.2.2 The primary objective of the TCP is the elimination of foreign object damage (FOD) to
aircraft and equipment caused by misplaced tools.
10.12.2.3 The basic principles of the TCP are:
a. Standardization of tools and the configuration of tool containers.
b. Traceability of tools through the use of unique identification numbers etched, stamped, or
marked on each tool and each container.
c. Strict accounting of tools:
(1) Maintaining accurate inventory lists of all tools on hand.
(2) Inventorying tools at the beginning and end of work shifts, and before, during, and after
performing maintenance.
(3) Documenting who has control of the tool and what aircraft or equipment the tool was
used on.
(4) Securing tools when not in use.
(5) Prompt and thorough investigation of missing tools.
10.12.2.4 The NAVAIR 17-1 Tool Control Manual (TCM) provides standardized tools and tool
container configuration for most type/model/series (T/M/S) aircraft. Naval Air Warfare Center
Aircraft Division (NAWC AD), SE and ALRE Installation Branch, is the Fleet Support Team (FST)
for T/M/S aircraft TCMs. Address: NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER AIRCRAFT DIVISION,
SE and ALRE Installation Branch, HWY 547, LAKEHURST, NJ 08733-5091, Phone: DSN 624-
7374/COMM (732) 323-7374.
10.12.3.1 Tool Control Manuals (TCM)
a. O-level activities must use the NAVAIR 17-1 TCM for the T/M/S aircraft they maintain. If
a TCM does not exist for the T/M/S aircraft assigned, the operating activity must develop a TCM
using a similar NAVAIR 17-1 T/M/S TCM as a guide and submit it to their Type Wing or MAW
for approval. Once approved, the Type Wing or MAW will forward the TCM to NAWCAD per
paragraph 10.12.2.4 for decision on adding the TCM to NAVAIR 17-1.
10-176
1 Feb 2021
b. Recommendations for changes to NAVAIR 17-1 T/M/S TCMs will be submitted by naval
letter to the Type Wing or MAW (Figure 10.12-1). If the Type Wing or MAW concurs with the
change, they will submit the recommendation to NAWCAD per paragraph 10.12.2.4 as a Technical
Publication Deficiency Report (TPDR), per paragraph 10.9.3.11.
NOTES: 1. Activities will not make changes until NAWCAD approves the TCM change.
2. Special tools are locally manufactured tools or tools modified from their original
configuration. Special tools listed in the T/M/S aircraft TCM, Interactive Electronic
Technical Manual (IETM), and related Technical Manuals are authorized and do
not require a deviation approval. Special tools are subject to the same tool control
and inventory requirements as standard tools.
3. I-level and D-level activities will use a TCM Change Recommendation form (vice
letter) similar to Figure 10.12-1. The form must include documentation of final
disposition.
c. Requests to deviate from a TCM must be submitted by naval letter to the Type Wing or
MAW for approval (Figure 10.12-2). Deviation from T/M/S TCM specifications will only be
granted if required to support maintenance or operational requirements that are different than other
activities maintaining the same T/M/S aircraft.
NOTES: 1. COMNAVAIRFOR O-level activities without an assigned Type Wing or MAW
will submit TCM change requests and deviation requests to COMNAVAIRFOR
Code N422.
2. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM assigned O-level activities will submit TCM change
requests and deviation requests to their assigned Test Wing. Activities not assigned
to a Test Wing will submit requests to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Code Aviation
Maintenance Management Branch.
d. I-level activities must publish a TCM tailored to their operational needs. I-level TCMs will
be formatted similar to a NAVAIR 17-1 TCM, and must include test station drawers, wall lockers
used for tool or equipment storage, roll around tool containers, and portable tool containers.
e. Depot FRCs must publish Local Command Procedures per OPNAVINST 5215.17 detailing
their TCP. Tools and containers used by Depot field activities and field service teams will be
specified.
f. TCMs will be managed and controlled as technical data, per paragraph 10.8.
10.12.3.2 Tool Marking and Serial Numbers
a. All tools must be marked with a serial number containing the activity’s organization code as
listed in DECKPLATE, the work center responsible for the tool, and the number of the container
the tool is assigned to, for example, AC9-110-1.
b. Depot and contractor owned tools may have unique organizational codes and numbering
systems providing identification to the same level of accountability as stated above.
10-177
1 Feb 2021
c. Tools will be marked by mechanical etching. Face shields, goggles, lenses, batteries, and
other tools unsuitable for etching will be marked using a permanent marker or indelible ink.
WARNING: BERYLLIUM TOOLS WILL NOT BE ETCHED, CUT, MELTED, WELDED,
GROUND, OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED DUE TO THE RISK OF
CREATING BERYLLIUM DUST, WHICH IS A HEALTH HAZARD. TOOL
CONTAINER INVENTORIES MUST IDENTIFY ANY TOOL CONTAINING
BERYLLIUM ALLOYS BY ANNOTATING THE WORD “BERYLLIUM”
NEXT TO THE TOOL.
d. Multiple piece tool sets with individual pieces that are removed during use, and tools with
parts that are routinely replaced during use, will have each piece serialized. Examples include
Allen wrench sets, feeler gauge sets, stamping dye sets, and flashlights.
e. Tool tags maintained in a tool container will be etched in the same manner as the tools in the
container, with the addition of a tag number. For example, tool container AC9-110-1 has two tool
tags: One tool tag will be numbered AC9-110-1 (1) and the other will be numbered AC9-110-1 (2).
f. Tools that are too small to be marked must be identified per the procedures of 10.12.3.4.2.
g. Markings will be restored as they become unreadable.
10.12.3.3 Tool Containers
10.12.3.3.1 O-level activities must use the exact tool container configuration directed in the
NAVAIR 17-1 TCM for the T/M/S aircraft they support, with the following exceptions:
a. Air Station Operations Departments and squadrons supporting more than one T/M/S aircraft
may consolidate tool containers from each T/M/S TCM, as deemed most efficient for conducting
maintenance.
b. An approved TCM deviation per paragraph 10.12.3.1.c. is required to modify tools or
equipment.
10.12.3.3.2 Tool containers must be numbered with the activity’s organization code, work center
code, and a unique container number, for example, AC3-110-2. If the work center is authorized
more than one of the same type tool container, the additional containers must be identified with a
numerical suffix, for example, AC3-110-2-1.
NOTE: Depots and contractors must use a numbering system that provides identification to
the same level of detail (activity identifier, shop assignment, and number).
10.12.3.3.3 Tool container hardware placement (clips, brackets, holes for tools, etc.) must be
exactly as indicated in the TCM drawing.
NOTE: If a tool is not available at the time the container is constructed, the associated clips,
brackets, and holes will not be installed or cut until the tool becomes available. The
uninstalled tool will be recorded on the Tool Container Shortage List (Figure 10.12-
3).
10-178
1 Feb 2021
10.12.3.3.4 The position of each tool must be silhouetted against a contrasting background to
highlight its location within the container. Silhouetting may be accomplished by use of paint,
etching, or other method that does not cause a risk of FOD. Each tool location will be numbered to
correspond with the tool’s number on the inventory list.
10.12.3.3.5 Tool pouches must be fabricated to hold individual tools in separate positions. Each
tool pouch will have a flap cover that attaches securely on all edges to prevent tools from falling
out.
10.12.3.3.6 The outside of the container must be stenciled with applicable warnings, for example,
"CONTAINS TOOLS TOO SMALL TO ETCH", "CONTAINS TOOLS UNSUITABLE FOR
ETCHING”, or "OXYGEN USE ONLY".
10.12.3.3.7 Wall boards and lockers may be used to provide rapid inventory of work equipment not
specified to be in a container, for example, communications cords, electrical cords, and PPE. Items
assigned to wall boards and lockers must be silhouetted and marked per the procedures noted in
paragraph 10.12.3.3.4.
10.12.3.3.8 Each tool container, board and locker will have a Tool Inventory List per paragraph
10.12.3.4 with the diagram specified in the TCM, and a Tool Container Shortage List (Figure
10.12-3). Lists and diagrams will be firmly attached to eliminate the possibility of FOD.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of FOD, lists and diagrams for tool pouches and for tools
used in ESD work centers will be kept in a folder separate from the tool container or
tool pouch.
10.12.3.3.9 Tools, tool containers, and tool lockers will be kept FOD free and clean of
contaminants such as grease, oil, hydraulic fluid, dirt, fuel, and corrosion.
10.12.3.3.10 Tool containers and lockers will not be used to store any materials or equipment not
on the inventory list.
10.12.3.4 Tool Inventory Lists
10.12.3.4.1 Tool inventory lists will identify each tool by item number, nomenclature, and
quantity. Tools with multiple pieces will be identified on the list by annotating the number of
pieces on the right hand side next to the item, for example, “Flashlight, plus 1 spare lens and 2
batteries = 4 total pieces”, “Stamping dye set, 10 pieces plus 2 piece case = 12 total pieces”, “Feeler
Gauge with 14 blades” and “hacksaw with blade”.
10.12.3.4.2 Tools too small or unsuitable to be etched or marked will be identified on the Inventory
List by placing an asterisk (*) on the left hand side of the item’s nomenclature, for example “*Jewel
Scribe”. If the item is a multiple piece tool and only some of the pieces are too small to etch, the
inventory will specify each non-etched piece. For example, in a 10 piece Allen Wrench set where
the 3/32 wrench is the only piece too small to etch, the nomenclature would be annotated “Allen
Wrench Set,10 pieces plus case = 11 pieces * 3/32”.
10-179
1 Feb 2021
10.12.3.4.3 Tools requiring hardware to be secured to prevent potential FOD (for example, the lock
nut on a hex key set or pliers) will be identified on the inventory list by annotating the securing
method (such as “SPOT WELDED”, “PEENED”, or “ADHESIVE”) next to each affected item.
10.12.3.4.4 Tool Container Shortage Lists (Figure 10.12-3) will be used to document any tools
missing from the container. Procedures:
a. For tools on order:
(1) Annotate the nomenclature, drawer, panel, and item number of the tool.
(2) Annotate the number from the Missing Tool Report (Figure 10.12-4) or Broken/Worn
Tool Report (Figure 10.12-5) on the tool container shortage list (Figure 10.12-3). If the tool has
never been in the container, annotate “INITIAL ISSUE”.
(3) Annotate the requisition document number received from the TCP Coordinator. If the
tool will be purchased from SERVMART or open purchased, annotate "SERVMART or Open
Purchase" and the date the TCP Coordinator plans to obtain the tool.
(4) The Work Center Tool Control Representative will initial the entry to certify the tool has
been placed on order.
(5) When the tool is received, the Work Center Supervisor must personally verify the tool
has been placed in the container, enter the date replaced, and initial the form.
b. For tools in calibration:
(1) Annotate the nomenclature, drawer, panel, and item number of the tool being calibrated.
(2) The Work Center Tool Control Representative will annotate the date the tool was turned
in for calibration and initial the form.
(3) When the tool is received from calibration, the Work Center Supervisor must personally
verify the tool has been placed in the container, enter the date replaced, and initial the form.
10.12.3.5 Tool Security and Checkout Procedures
10.12.3.5.1 Tools must be secured in the assigned container, wall board, or locker when not in use.
Tools not assigned to a work center must be stored in the tool room.
10.12.3.5.2 A tool log will be used to check out portable tool containers, individual tools from the
Tool Room, shop container, shop support box, tool pouches, PPE, and consumable tools (acid
brushes, wire brushes, razor blades, sand paper, rags, etc.). As a minimum, tool logs must contain
the following information:
a. Name of person to whom the tool is being issued
b. Assigned container, locker, or wall board number, and the inventory item number
c. Job control number (JCN), MAF control number (MCN), or job order number (JON) for
which the tool is being used
10-180
1 Feb 2021
d. Date and time checked out, and Supervisor or CDI Signature

e. Date and time checked in, and Supervisor or CDI Signature
NOTE: Portable tool containers checked out for an entire shift will be used for performing
maintenance on only one aircraft or piece of equipment at a time.
10.12.3.5.3 Tool tags will be used whenever an individual tool is checked out from a tool
container. Tool tags may also be used to check out individual items of PPE or equipment.
Procedures:
a. Tools, PPE, or equipment will be issued in exchange for a tool tag on a one-for-one basis.
b. The individual checking out the tool must provide a tool tag from a container personally
assigned or checked out to them.
c. The tool tag will be placed in the checked out item’s designated location.
d. If a tool is checked out from a container by an individual without access to a tool tag, the
checkout will be logged in the Work Center Tool Control Log per paragraph 10.12.3.6.1.
NOTES: 1. Tool pouches and "OXYGEN USE ONLY" containers will not have tool tags.
2. Tools from portable containers will not be checked out for simultaneous
maintenance on multiple aircraft or equipment.
10.12.3.5.4 Tools issued with flight packets must be controlled and accounted for. Each flight
packet will have a Controlled Equipage Custody Record (NAVSUP 306), an inventory list, and a
tool diagram.
10.12.3.6 O-level and I-level Tool Inventories
10.12.3.6.1 Tool containers, wallboards, special tools, and PPE must be sight inventoried at the
beginning and end of each shift by the Work Center Supervisor or Shift Supervisor. Shift
inventories will be documented in a work center tool control log that lists each container and the
legibly printed name and signature of the individual that performed the inventory. Work center tool
control logs will be retained for a minimum of 30 days after the last entry.
10.12.3.6.2 The tool container number must be annotated in the WO or MAF tool box block upon
task assignment. The supervisor or a CDI and the technician assigned to the task will jointly
conduct an inventory and inspection of the tool container and its contents prior to starting work on
the task and at each work stoppage.
NOTE: NTCSS Optimized OMA NALCOMIS permits personnel with a QAR, CDI, or Work
Center Supervisor SMQ to correct the tool box number and initials data fields.
Work Center Supervisors, QARs, and CDIs will strictly control changes to the tool
box data field.
10.12.3.6.3 A wall-to-wall sight inventory of all tools, tool containers, and wall boards in work
centers and the tool room must be conducted every six months (semi-annually) by the TCP
Coordinator, to include a comparison of work center inventory lists to the master inventory record
10-181
1 Feb 2021
to verify no unauthorized additions or deletions have occurred. The inventory will be documented
on the Controlled Equipage Custody Record (NAVSUP 306) form that documented issuance of the
tools to the work center or tool room, per paragraph 10.12.4.4.e.
10.12.3.7 D-level Tool Inventories
10.12.3.7.1 All assigned tool containers, equipment, and PPE must be inventoried and verified
FOD free at the beginning and end of each shift or task.

a. Date and time inventoried or inspected.
b. BUNOs of all aircraft and SERNOs of all equipment worked on.
c. Legibly printed name and signature or imprint certification stamp of the individual who
performed the inventory or inspection.
10.12.3.7.3 Tool control inventories will be documented when maintenance tasks are assigned, at
work stoppage, prior to system check, upon job completion, or when a change of maintenance task
occurs.
10.12.3.7.4 Depot Work Center Supervisors will complete and document the inventory of at least
one tool container each week.
10.12.3.7.5 The Depot Tool Control Program Coordinator will conduct and document a joint
inventory with each shop Tool Control Representative annually.
10.12.3.7.6 Depot artisans assigned to I-level activities will comply with the tool control inventory
and documentation procedures applicable to the I-level site.
NOTE: The artisan’s signing the ACCUM WORK HOURS field on the WO or MAF is
certifying that he or she personally completed the tool inventory.
10.12.3.8 Broken/Worn Tool Procedures
a. Broken or worn tools will be removed from service and replaced as soon as discovered.
b. All broken or worn tools will be given to the activity’s Tool Control Coordinator along with
a Broken/Worn Tool Report (Figure 10.12-5).

10-182
1 Feb 2021
10.12.3.9 O-level and I-level Missing Tool Procedures

a. Technicians will immediately stop work and notify their Work Center Supervisor as soon as
they discover a tool is missing.
b. Work Center Supervisor actions:
(1) Immediately notify Maintenance or Production Control that a tool is missing and provide
information on any aircraft, engines, or equipment that may be affected.
(2) Personally coordinate a thorough search of the work area.
(3) Initiate a Missing Tool Report (Figure 10.12-4) if the tool is not found during the initial
search.
c. Maintenance or Production Control actions:
(1) Verbally notify the Maintenance Officer (MO), Assistant Maintenance Officer (AMO),
Maintenance Material Control Officer (MMCO), and Quality Assurance (QA) that a tool is missing.
If embarked, also notify the CVW MO or Air Combat Element MO and Flight Deck Control.
(2) Quarantine affected aircraft, engines, equipment, and components, and initiate a
downing WO or MAF with the discrepancy “Potential FOD from missing (tool nomenclature and
serial number)”. I-level will flag the work center status board and stop production for the job
involved.
(3) (I-level) Notify ASD/S6 Division if any engine, equipment, or component with potential
to have the missing tool was returned to Supply for issue. If a suspect item was issued, notify the
receiving activity that the item is NRFI due to potential FOD and must be turned in with a work
request for FOD check. The I-level QAR or CDI that inspects the suspect item will complete the
work request with the remark "CERTIFIED FOD FREE".
(4) Fill in the Maintenance or Production Control section of the Missing Tool Report and
forward it to QA.
d. QA actions:
(1) Immediately assign a QAR to investigate the missing tool. The investigator will
personally conduct a search for the tool. Whether or not the tool is found, the investigator must fill
in the details on the Missing Tool Report and brief the QA Officer.
(2) The QAR that conducted the investigation will complete the WO or MAF that downed
the aircraft, engine, or equipment for potential FOD. If the tool was found during the QA

10.13.2.1 The Corrosion Prevention and Control Program establishes general policy for preventing
and controlling corrosion damage to naval aircraft, engines, components, and support equipment
(SE).
10.13.2.2 The primary goal of the Corrosion Prevention and Control Program is to prevent
corrosion from forming. The secondary goal is to detect and treat corrosion in the earliest stages of
development to minimize corrosion damage. The primary elements of the program are:
a. Personnel who are knowledgeable and skilled in corrosion prevention and control.
b. Rigid adherence to the preservation, corrosion prevention, inspection, and treatment
procedures specified in the references, and type/model/series (T/M/S) aircraft or equipment
maintenance manuals.
10-196
1 Feb 2021
c. Data analysis that enables informed decisions on actions required to improve corrosion
prevention and control.
10.13.2.3 Aircraft corrosion Focus Area Lists (FAL) and Areas of Concern (AOC) are a major
element of corrosion prevention and detection. FALs and AOCs identify T/M/S specific areas that
adversely impact the maintenance cost and time required to maintain aircraft readiness. FALs and
AOCs emphasize where corrosion mitigation efforts should be concentrated.
10.13.2.4 Preservation minimizes the deterioration of aircraft, engines and equipment while they
are inactive or in shipment. Diligent preservation practices optimize aircraft, engine, and SE
availability, service life management, and total ownership costs.
10.13.2.5 The coating systems used on naval aircraft and the colors selected have been developed
to provide protection of critical surface material and maximum tactical advantage.
a. The standard paint system for all naval aircraft and SE is an aliphatic polyurethane resin.
Polyurethane provides maximum flexibility, weatherability, and resistance to all aircraft fluids.
b. The epoxy polyamide topcoat is an alternate authorized for touch-up of polyurethane at O-

level and I-level, only when polyurethane is not available, or when prohibited by specific directives.
Epoxy has an excellent chemical resistance; however, it has low temperature flexibility and exhibits
poor weatherability when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

10.13.3.7 Aircraft, Engine, and Equipment Preservation Requirements
a. Preservation is designed to protect the material condition of aircraft, engines, and equipment
that are not expected to be flown or operated for extended periods of time. Maintenance actions in
support of preservation process fall into four general categories:
(1) Initial Preservation. Initial preservation is applied within the timeframes listed in
NAVAIR 15-01-500 or the applicable MRCs. It includes requirements to prevent deterioration of
the aircraft, engine, or equipment while in a non-operating status.
(2) Maintenance While Preserved. Maintenance while preserved includes periodic

maintenance requirements that are done after initial preservation is applied. It includes time
sensitive requirements that must be done to maintain the initial preservation. Specific intervals are
in NAVAIR 15-01-500 or applicable MRCs, and may include intervals such as daily, 7-day, 30-
day, 90-day, or 180-day.
(3) Represervation. Represervation is a complete renewal of the initial preservation and is

done when a specified length of time has elapsed from the initial preservation date.
(4) Depreservation. Depreservation is done at the time the aircraft, engine, or equipment is
returned to operating status. It includes removal of protective materials and equipment. and
servicing of systems.
b. NAVAIR 15-01-500 recommends aircraft, aircraft engines, and aircraft components be

preserved if nonuse is anticipated for longer than 14 days. However, preservation may be
performed at any time, regardless of the material condition reporting status, when it is determined
to be in the best interest of the aircraft, engine, or equipment, or the activity. If the T/M/S technical
manual does not direct aircraft be preserved if not flown for 30 days or less, the activity must make
a determination of when the aircraft is expected to be flown. If the aircraft is expected to exceed 45
days of non-flight, the aircraft must be preserved per the most appropriate level specified in
NAVAIR 15-01-500. Factors to consider in determining the level of preservation include whether
the aircraft is being actively maintained (repairs are ongoing and scheduled maintenance is being
performed), impact to aircraft integrity of missing parts, and environmental conditions (parked
inside or outside, temperature and humidity levels, proximity to salt water, etc.). Refer to the Long-
Term Down Aircraft Management NAMPSOP (10.25) for direction on aircraft that have not flown
for 90 days or more.
10-202
1 Feb 2021
c. Aircraft will be preserved per procedures specified in the applicable aircraft maintenance
manuals. Aircraft without preservation maintenance manuals will be preserved per procedures
specified in NAVAIR 15-01-500.
d. SE, Airborne Weapons Support Equipment (AWSE) and Weight Handling Equipment
(WHE) will be preserved per NAVAIR 17-1-125 and applicable equipment technical manuals.
e. Aircraft engines and detachable mission equipment (aircraft armament equipment, troop
seats, external cargo hook, pod, etc.) must be preserved as directed in NAVAIR 15-01-500 and
applicable technical manuals when not installed or in use.
f. Aeronautical parts and components, regardless of RFI or NRFI status, will be preserved,
packaged, and handled in a manner as to prevent corrosive deterioration. In no case will NRFI
material not be protected from corrosion while awaiting repair. The P700-CNP website
(https://tarp.navsup.navy.mil/) provides preservation and packaging requirements for specific
repairable components.

1. The purpose of the Focus Area List (FAL) is to focus the Naval Aviation Enterprise on platform
corrosion degraders
2. In November 2007 the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) Air Board directed stand-up of a cross-
functional Corrosion Prevention Team (CPT) to attack cost service life and readiness impacts
throughout Naval Aviation. The CPT is comprised of COMNAVAIRFOR, NAVAIR, FRCs, FSTs,
and Wings. In order for an area to make it on the Focus Area List, either a discrepancy had to occur
frequently or it had to be a significant resource consumer during Level III maintenance events.
Data used to build the FAL is derived primarily from the Automated Data Capture System (ADCS)
which is utilized to document discrepancies during PMI events.
3. The FAL is used by all hands as a tool to help improve and validate airframe material condition
performance, inspections, and improvements and allow commands to:
a. Prioritize mitigation and Root Cause Analysis efforts of the most significant corrosion
degraders across the system.
b. Capture and articulate corrosion related critical aircraft material condition issues to the
enterprise.
4. The effective date of the FAL is DDMMMYYYY
5. All previous editions of the FAL are canceled by this instruction.

The Plane Captain Qualification Program establishes the minimum procedures for training and
qualifying personnel that perform plane captain duties. Commercial and other government
activities operating naval aircraft are required to meet the same or equivalent standards for their
personnel.
NOTE: The title “Plane Captain” is used throughout this NAMPSOP, however, some aircraft
communities use different terms for ground maintenance personnel that perform
similar duties, such as “Plane Handler”. The extent of plane captain duties may vary
depending on type aircraft and operational environment.
10.14.3.1 Designation. Plane captains will be designated, in writing, by their Commanding
Officer (CO) on the Plane Captain Designation (OPNAV 4790/158) (Figure 10.14-1). For
commands using ASM, all items of Parts I, II, III and IV of the OPNAV 4790/158 must be reflected
in the Plane Captain Designation in ASM, to include statements the candidate understands his/her
responsibilities, the candidate has appeared before the Plane Captain Selection Board and is fully
qualified and recommended for designation, and the CO has designated the member as a Plane
Captain. Verification of service record entry (Part V of the OPNAV 4790/158) does not have to be
noted in ASM. Prior to initial designation, plane captains must:
a. Complete the Wing or MAW standardized training syllabus.
b. Pass the written examination administered by a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR)
with a passing score of 90 percent.
10-218
1 Feb 2021
c. Pass the practical examination administered by a QAR that is currently qualified as a plane
captain.
NOTES: 1. Collateral Duty QARs (CDQARs) are not authorized to administer the written
or practical examination.
2. For D-level activities, any QAR can administer the practical examination.
d. Be interviewed and recommended by the Plane Captain Selection Board.
NOTE: Designation as a plane captain does not qualify personnel to perform engine or APU
turn-up. Refer to 10.42 for engine and APU turn-up qualification requirements.
10.14.3.2 Naval Aircrewmen. In commands where naval aircrewmen (AWF, AWS, AWV, AWR,
AWO, crew chiefs, or flight engineers) perform the functions of a plane captain, the aircrewman
NATOPS training syllabus must include all plane captain qualification requirements. Completion of
the training curriculum and the designation as a naval aircrewman (NATOPS Evaluation Report
(OPNAV 3710/7)) qualifies the aircrewman for plane captain duties. Naval aircrewmen qualified
as plane captains, per their NATOPS training syllabus, are not required to take a separate plane
captain examination, appear before the Plane Captain Selection Board, or be designated on the
Plane Captain Designation form (OPNAV 4790/158) (Figure 10.14-1).
10.14.3.3 Requalification
a. Requalification training is required every 6 months and must be monitored for proficiency by
a QAR or CDQAR who is currently designated as a plane captain, no later than the last day of the
requalification month. For example, personnel initially qualified or last requalified on 10 January
must complete requalification training no later than 31 July.
NOTES: 1. The initial monitor will be completed no later than 6 months from designation as
a plane captain. All subsequent monitors must be completed no later than the last
day of the month due.
2. Commands with naval aircrewmen may designate enlisted NATOPS Instructors,
Assistant NATOPS Instructors, or NATOPS Instructor Flight Engineers to perform
plane captain monitors.
3. For D-level FRCs, any QA Specialist can conduct plane captain monitors.
b. Plane captains that have not performed plane captain duties for over 90 days, for example,
TAD, convalescent leave, or other special assignment away from the activity, must complete the
Wing/MAW refresher training syllabus and be interviewed by the Plane Captain Qualification
Program Manager prior to resuming plane captain duties. Plane captains with past due monitor
must complete the Wing/MAW refresher training syllabus prior to resuming plane captain duties.
c. Newly assigned personnel that are qualified and have a current Plane Captain Monitor in the
same T/M/S aircraft from their previous command may be designated as a plane captain by their
new command if they pass a practical examination, and are interviewed and recommended by the
new command’s Plane Captain Selection Board. Requalification will be documented on the Plane
Captain Designation form (OPNAV 4790/158) (Figure 10.14-1), or ASM equivalent.
10-219
1 Feb 2021
d. Personnel that have had their Plane Captain Designation revoked will complete the entire
training syllabus, pass the practical and written examinations, and be interviewed and recommended
by the Plane Captain Selection Board. Requalification will be documented on the Plane Captain
Designation form (OPNAV 4790/158) (Figure 10.14-1), or ASM equivalent.
10.14.4.1 Navy Type Wings and D-level FRCs
a. Publish a standard plane captain training syllabus for initial designation and refresher
training to include lesson guides and practical and written examinations for the T/M/S aircraft, for
which they are responsible. Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) or D-level specific
prerequisites (when available) must be integrated into the training syllabus. The training syllabus
and testing requirements must be sufficient to ensure plane captains are knowledgeable and skilled
in their duties. The Plane Captain Training Syllabus Topics (Figure 10.14-2) provides a list of areas
that might need to be covered for initial designation. The syllabus must be tailored based on actual
duties and operational environment, for example, Plane Captains in squadrons that do not deploy
aboard ship do not need training in flight deck procedures and Plane Captains that do not “ride
brakes” during aircraft towing do not need training in brake riding. The Plane Captain Refresher
Training Syllabus (Figure 10.14-3) provides an example of a refresher training syllabus.
b. Verify the training syllabus and related forms are available in ASM.
NOTE: Marine activities will use the training and testing syllabus developed by TECOM, per
10.1.4.1.5 Notes.
a. Establish a Plane Captain Selection Board, chaired by the Maintenance Officer (MO),
consisting of the Quality Assurance Plane Captain Program Monitor, Plane Captain Branch
Supervisor, Plane Captain Program Manager, Squadron Safety Officer, and others as deemed
necessary.
b. Designate plane captains, in writing, using the Plane Captain Designation (OPNAV
4790/158) (Figure 10.14-1) or ASM equivalent.
c. Revoke designations of plane captains who display a disregard for safety or aircraft
maintenance/handling procedures. Designations will only be reinstated after the individual has
completed the requirements of paragraph 10.14.3.3d.
NOTE: In squadrons that employ contractors to perform plane captain duties, the
Contractor Site Manager, when assigned, will designate qualified contractor plane
captains, in writing, using the Plane Captain Designation form (OPNAV 4790/158)
(Figure 10.14-1) or a locally generated designation form that specifies the procedures
and board members required by the contract. The Contractor Site Manager must
not delegate this authority.
d. The CO may delegate authority to the MO to designate, revoke, and requalify plane captains.
COs of squadrons that deploy detachments, in excess of 90 days, may delegate authority to the
10-220
1 Feb 2021
Detachment Officer in Charge (OIC) to designate, revoke, and requalify plane captains while
deployed, if all training, testing, and board requirements can be accomplished by the detachment.
Delegation of authority must be made, in writing, by name, to each MO or Detachment OIC.
a. (O-level) Designate the Line or Power Line Division Officer as the Plane Captain
Qualification Program Manager. Designation will be in writing via ASM. Commands that use
aircrewmen to perform plane captain duties may designate the Aircrew Division Officer as the
Plane Captain Qualification Program Manager.
b. (Depot FRC) Designate a SME as the Plane Captain Qualification Program Manager.
Designation will be in writing via the SME listing.
c. Chair the Plane Captain Selection Board. The board will personally review training
documentation and interview plane captain candidates. The interview must cover all areas of the
T/M/S Plane Captain Training Syllabus to verify candidates are fully qualified.
d. Recommend revocation of Plane Captain Designations to the CO.
NOTE: MO is equivalent to Aircraft Maintenance Officer for the Marine Corps and the
person(s) performing specific MO duties for the D-level activities.
10.14.4.4 Plane Captain Qualification Program Manager
a. Perform a Plane Captain Program audit per paragraph 10.7.3.8 within 60 days of assignment
and annually thereafter.
b. Conduct the Plane Captain Training Program per the Wing or MAW syllabus.
c. Assign a designated plane captain to each trainee. The designated plane captain will serve as
an instructor and supervisor for the trainee and is responsible for ensuring each element of the
training syllabus is thoroughly covered.
d. Initiate the Plane Captain Designation (OPNAV 4790/158) (Figure 10.14-1), or ASM
equivalent, and request a Plane Captain Selection Board once the trainee has completed all training
requirements, passed the written and practical examinations, and is deemed fully prepared and
capable of assuming the responsibilities of a plane captain. D-level civilian personnel must have a
separate Plane Captain Designation (OPNAV 4790/158), or ASM equivalent, designation filed in
their IQR for each T/M/S aircraft designated.
e. Verify designated plane captains assigned away from plane captain duties for over 90 days,
for example, TAD, convalescent leave, or other special assignment away from the activity, receive
refresher training (Figure 10.14-3) and are interviewed prior to resuming plane captain duties.
f. Restrict personnel from plane captain duties if they have not performed plane captain duties
for over 90 days, or are overdue or fail their semi-annual Plane Captain monitor (10.14.3.3.a. and
10.14.3.3.b).
10-221
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Plane captains that are out of currency will be placed “Not in Use” in ASM. The
working copy of the MPP will be updated, and the plane captain’s SMQs removed
from OOMA. Once the requirements for requalification have been completed,
update ASM and the Maintenance Training Plan designations list and re-instate
SMQs.
g. Monitor the number of personnel under instruction to compensate for plane captain attrition.
h. Review CSEC reports (provided by the Program Monitor) to identify areas of concern and
take corrective action to improve the program.
i. Verify the Maintenance Training Plan designations list contains all currently designated plane
captains and the due date of their next semi-annual monitor.
j. Maintain a program file to include:
(1) POCs
(2) Program-related correspondence and message traffic
(4) Most current CSEC audit checklist
a. (O-level) Designate a QAR as Plane Captain Qualification Program Monitor. Designation
will be in writing via ASM. The QAR, designated as the Program Monitor, must be currently
qualified as a plane captain. Commands that utilize naval aircrewmen to perform plane captain
functions may assign a NATOPS Instructor, Assistant NATOPS Instructor, or Instructor Flight
Engineer as the Plane Captain Qualification Program Monitor. Other QARs may audit or provide
oversight for the program, but the overall responsibility remains with the Program Monitor.
b. (Depot FRC) Designate a Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS) as the Plane Captain
Qualification Program Monitor. Depot program monitor is not required to be qualified as a plane
captain. Designation will be in writing via the SME listing.

10.16.3 SE Operator Training Requirements
SE Operator training consists of two phases. Phase I is initial training on basic procedures for
operating, servicing, and inspecting the item of SE. Phase II is on-the job training (OJT) and testing
on specific maintenance tasks for which the operator will use the SE.
10.16.3.1 Phase I Training
a. Phase I training will be conducted by I-level and D-level activities.
NOTES: 1. Phase I training for some models of SE can be completed via My Navy Portal
(MNP).
2. SE Technicians that have completed Phase I training via NEC/MOS Training
Course (Figure 10.16-3) and are NEC or MOS certified are not required to complete
10-237
1 Feb 2021
Phase I training for that specific SE. Scan a copy of the completed school certificate
into ASM, and note the course information and completion date in the Phase I
Section of SE License Certification.
b. Phase I instructors must be designated in writing, paygrade E-5 and above or civilian subject
matter expert, trained in instructional techniques, and licensed on the SE for which they provide
training.
c. Phase I training courses will be produced and distributed by Commander Naval Aviation
Technical Training (CNATT) for those items of SE that NAVAIR (PMA-205) determines a Phase I
course is needed. Phase I training courses contain outlines, lesson guides, and training aids and can
be accessed in Catalog of Naval Training Courses (CANTRAC), NAVEDTRA 10500, Volume II.
Refer to the catalog for course number, description, and implementation date. All revisions are
listed in the special information section.
NOTE: If equipment requiring an SE Operator’s License does not have a CNATT Phase I
course, the supporting I-level activity must develop a local Phase I training course
based on the Phase I Training Outline (Figure 10.16-4). Locally prepared Phase I
training courses will be forwarded to NAVAIR (PMA-205) via the ACC to determine
if the SE needs to be added to the list of Equipment Requiring an SE Operator’s
License (Figure 10.16-2).
10.16.3.2 Phase II Training
a. Phase II training is the responsibility of the activity issuing the license.
b. Phase II training must be completed on the specific T/M/S aircraft or equipment on which
the operator will use the SE.
NOTES: 1. Personnel assigned to CVN and L-Class ship Air Departments are required to
document Phase II for only one T/M/S aircraft. Aircraft hookup must be performed
by a plane captain for the T/M/S aircraft under tow.
2. Phase II training for self-propelled SE, AWSE, and mobile crane operated
aboard ship must thoroughly cover all basic operating procedures, safety
precautions, emergency procedures, and on-aircraft operation, as applicable to the
unique shipboard environment.
3. Due to the various types of transient aircraft serviced by air station Operations
Maintenance Department (OMD) Transient Line personnel, transient line personnel
are required to document Phase II SE training for only one T/M/S aircraft. An SE
Operator license issued for transient aircraft support is limited to launch, recovery,
servicing, and handling operations. Aircraft hookup must be performed in
conjunction with the aircrew for the aircraft being serviced.
c. Phase II training on one model of SE is sufficient to license an individual on all model
variations of the same type SE taught in the same Phase I course of instruction, for example, NC-
10A/B/C Shore MEPP.
10-238
1 Feb 2021
d. Personnel providing Phase II OJT will not sign off a training session unless the individual
received hands-on training and demonstrates satisfactory knowledge and skill.
e. Phase II OJT and practical examinations must be conducted by personnel who are licensed
on the SE.
f. Phase II written examinations must be conducted by QA. Any QAR can administer the
written examination, 85 percent is the minimum passing score for the written examination.
NOTE: Depot FRCs may use qualified SE proctors to administer Phase II written
examinations.
g. Personnel who fail either the practical or the written examination must repeat at least three
additional Phase II OJT sessions before being retested.
h. A Phase II training syllabus is required for each item of SE. As a minimum, the Phase II

3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training will be included in each OJT
session where the use of PPE is applicable to the task.
4. The written examination must be tailored to and contain enough questions to
verify the individual has the basic knowledge needed to safely operate the item of SE
on the T/M/S aircraft or equipment for which the operator will be licensed.
i. Phase II training on new models of SE for which the command has no licensed personnel will
be completed as follows:
(1) The MO will designate two personnel as Initial Qualifiers. Initial qualifiers will be one
QAR or CDQAR and one E-5 or above QPT (Navy) or AMTRP (USMC) qualified maintenance
technician.
NOTE: Refer to the NAVAIR 00-80T-119 for specific paygrade requirements for WHE.
(2) The Initial Qualifiers will complete the Phase I training course for the new SE.

10.17.2.1 This NAMPSOP establishes requirements for managing and maintaining SE and
Armament Weapons Support Equipment (AWSE).
10.17.2.2 SE is defined as all equipment required to make an aeronautical system, command and
control system, support system, subsystem, or end item of equipment (SE for SE) operational in its
intended environment. SE is primarily the equipment managed within the Aircraft Maintenance
Material Readiness List (AMMRL) Program. SE also includes some general purpose equipment
not managed within the AMMRL Program that are used in aviation work centers to support
maintenance, such as drill presses, grinders, lathes, sewing machines, and welders. SE not covered
under the AMMRL Program but required to support flight operations, for example crash equipment,
firefighting equipment, and runway sweepers, is managed per ACC or TYCOM instructions. Refer
to NAVAIRINST 13650.1 and cognizant SECA instructions for procedures for reporting SE under
the AMMRL Program.
10.17.2.3 In the context of this NAMPSOP, the term “SE” also denotes requirements applicable to
AWSE unless stated to be only for SE or only for AWSE. OPNAV M-8000.16 provides additional
direction on AWSE maintenance.
10.17.2.4 This NAMPSOP does not apply to equipment managed under NAVSEA or NAVSUP
requirements, such as forklifts and flight deck scrubbers that are maintained by ship or shore I-level
activities. OMMS-NG and SKEDS must be used to document scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance for NAVSEA or NAVSUP equipment. NALCOMIS will not be used to track
maintenance for NAVSEA or NAVSUP equipment.
10.17.3.1 Transfer and Acceptance Procedures
a. Transfer and acceptance inspections are required upon permanent or subcustody transfer of
SE from one activity to another. The transfer inspection must be completed at time of transfer. The
acceptance inspection must be completed prior to placing the SE in service, or no later than 30
calendar days after receipt, whichever occurs first.
10-255
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: “L”-coded AMMRL equipment provided by an IMA to a squadron is an example of

subcustody.
b. The Support Equipment Acceptance/Transfer Checklist (Figure 10.17-1) identifies minimum
acceptance and transfer inspection requirements for O-level and I-level activities. Depot FRCs will
develop similar forms tailored to their processes for managing SE transfer and receipt.
NOTE: If records to verify maintenance status of the SE are not received with the SE,
perform all inspections specified in the applicable MRCs.
c. SE will be in ready for issue (RFI) status at time of transfer. If the Support Equipment
Controlling Authority (SECA) approves the transfer of non-ready for issue (NRFI) SE, any parts
removed for maintenance and not re-installed, and supply documents for any parts on order or
missing, will be attached to and forwarded with the SE at time of transfer.
d. All NALCOMIS Configuration Management Auto Log Sets (CM ALS) applicable to the
item must be transferred with the SE. Refer to 8.6.3.4 for CM ALS transfer procedures. If the SE
is being transferred to a depot facility for maintenance or rework, the item’s SE Custody and
Maintenance History Record (OPNAV 4790/51) (Figure 8-22) must accompany the item per
paragraph 10.17.3.1 procedures.
NOTES: 1. If not operating NALCOMIS OOMA or OIMA, copies of all outstanding
discrepancy MAFs will be transferred with the SE.
2. If OOMA or OIMA ALS or paper records are not received, contact the previous
reporting custodian. ALS records are also available in OMAWHOLE. If further
assistance is required, contact the SECA.
e. Change of custody reporting will be completed per Support Equipment Controlling Authority
(SECA) procedures.
10.17.3.2 Temporary Issue Procedures
a. SE issued on a temporary basis (vice permanent or subcustody transfer) will be jointly
inventoried and inspected by the activity providing the SE and the activity receiving the SE.
NOTE: The SE Acceptance/Transfer Checklist (Figure 10.17-1) is not required for
temporary issues.
b. Personnel checking out or returning SE must have in their possession a valid USN Aviation
Support Equipment Operator's License (OPNAV 4790/102) for the equipment. If the SE is self-
propelled, a valid state or government driver’s license is also required.
c. A joint preoperational inspection using the applicable MRCs must be performed at time of
check-out and check-in. The SE Preoperational Record (OPNAV 4790/52) (Figure 10.17-2) will be
used to record the preoperational inspection. The person checking out the SE will perform the
preoperational inspection and sign in the inspector's block. The person from the issuing activity
will sign in the supervisor block. The SE Preoperational Record will accompany the SE at time of
issue for use by the activity that checked out the SE, and must be returned with the SE.
10-256
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: All discrepancies noted during the preoperational inspection will be documented
on a WO or MAF by the issuing activity.
d. Issue and return will be documented per local procedures.
10.17.3.3 Maintenance
a. SE installed within a work center, such as hydraulic test stands (A/F 27T-10), oxygen and
nitrogen generating plants (LOX-30/PLN-430), and electrical test units (VARIDRIVES), will be
maintained by the work center having physical custody of such equipment.
b. Preventive Maintenance (PM) and unscheduled maintenance must be performed per the
procedures specified in applicable technical publications or manufacturer manuals. Requirements
specified in COMNAVAIRSYSCOM technical manuals take precedence over manufacturer or
other non-NAVAIR publications.
c. PM scheduling and allowable deviation procedures of Chapter 5, paragraph 5.3 apply to SE.
NOTES: 1. If any PM cannot be verified as current, the PM must be performed prior to
placing in service, issuing, or operating the SE.
2. When an item of SE is new and has never been placed in service, or is received
after completion of rework by a depot designated repair point (DRP), the next PM
cycle will be initiated based on the date of completion of the acceptance inspection.
The DRP’s entry on the SE Custody and Maintenance History Record (OPNAV
4790/51) is acceptable verification that all inspections and PMs were current as of
the date of completion of rework. Per NAVAIRINST 13680.1, refer to the SE
Management System (SEMS) for depot DRPs.
d. SE preoperational inspections will be conducted per the MRCs applicable to the equipment.
Preoperational inspections must be recorded on the item’s SE Preoperational Record (OPNAV
4790/52) (Figure 10.17-2). The SE Preoperational Record will be maintained by the work center
with custody of the SE.
e. Local Maintenance Requirements Cards (Local MRCs) must be established per 10.8.3.5 for
any SE that does not have COMNAVAIRSYSCOM technical manuals and meets one or more of
the following criteria:
(1) The manufacturer publications or other non-NAVAIR technical manuals do not give
detailed procedures or specific intervals for inspections or PM.
(2) The equipment requires NDI or proof load testing per NAVAIR 17-1-114.1 criteria.
(3) Failure or misuse of the equipment during operation could cause injury to personnel or
damage to aircraft or equipment. This includes hazards such as moving parts during operation, use
or discharge of hazardous chemicals, or discharge of extreme heat, extreme cold, or electrical
shock.
10-257
1 Feb 2021
(4) The equipment has fluids, filters, or other replaceable materials subject to contamination
that could cause the item to incorrectly perform its intended use, or could cause damage to aircraft,
aircraft systems, components, or SE.
f. PM requiring internal parts replacement (filters, hoses, bearings, etc.), proof load testing, or
NDI must be performed by the supporting I-level activity or depot, per the specified maintenance
level.
g. SE that will not be used for extended periods must be preserved per NAVAIR 17-1-125,
Section XI.
h. SE requiring calibration will be calibrated per paragraph 10.18.
i. SE will comply with TD procedures of paragraph 10.10.
j. SE requiring depot rework will be processed per NAVAIRINST 13680.1.
10.17.3.4 Maintenance Documentation
a. SE maintenance must be documented on a NALCOMIS Optimized Organizational
Maintenance Activity (OOMA) Work Order (WO) or NALCOMIS Optimized Intermediate
Maintenance Activity (OIMA)) Maintenance Action Form (MAF) per Chapter 15 and Chapter 16
procedures.
NOTES: 1. Activities not operating NALCOMIS OOMA or OIMA will document

maintenance on an OPNAV 4790/60 Visual Information Display System
Maintenance Action Form (VIDS/MAF).
2. Depot FRCs will document SE maintenance per local procedures.
b. PM on up to 10 items of the same type of equipment may be documented as a “lot” on one

WO or MAF if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) All equipment in the lot must be the same model.
(2) The same PM requirements must apply to the entire lot.
(3) One technician must be able to complete PM for the entire lot in one work shift. For
example: An activity has 100 tie down chains of the same model. One technician can inspect 10
chains in one work shift. Rather than creating 100 individual WOs or MAFs, the activity can issue
ten WOs or MAFs with serial numbers 1 through 10 on the first, 11 through 20 on the second, etc.
NOTE: Lot WOs or MAFs are not authorized for documenting unscheduled maintenance
or TD compliance. These actions require a separate WO or MAF for each SE
item.
10.17.3.5 NALCOMIS OOMA and OIMA Configuration Management Auto Log Set (CM
ALS) Records
a. NALCOMIS OOMA and OIMA Configuration Management Auto Log Set (CM ALS) will
be used as the primary source of SE records for O-level and I-level activities. Personnel
10-258
1 Feb 2021
responsible for support equipment ALS records must complete the SE Configuration Management
course (C-555-0057).
b. CM ALS will be maintained per Chapter 8.
NOTES: 1. Commands are required to load and activate all maintenance tasks for each item
of SE in their custody, including sub-custody items.
2. All SE maintenance tasks must be either active or pending in OOMA or OIMA,
regardless of the maintenance level O/I/D.
3. Exception from loading or activating any task not explicitly exempted by MRC
must be directed by higher authority. A miscellaneous history entry will be made in
the SE item's CM ALS citing the reason and authorization, signed by the MMCO or
PCO.
c. At a minimum, SE CM ALS will be saved per 8.6.3.3 after completing a scheduled or
unscheduled maintenance action and after making a Miscellaneous History entry on the item.
d. When transferring SE permanent or subcustody to an activity operating OOMA or OIMA,
the CM ALS will be electronically transferred to the receiving activity, and a paper record of the
CM ALS will physically accompany the item. Refer to paragraph 8.6.3.4 CM ALS procedures
when transferring SE to a Depot FRC or other activity that does not operate NALCOMIS OOMA or
OIMA.
e. One SE CM ALS may be created for lots of up to 10 items of SE if all items are the same
model. For example, if the activity has 100 tie down chains of the same model, the activity can
create 10 SE CM ALS records with tie down chains serial numbers 1 through 10 in the first lot,
serial numbers 11 through 20 in the second lot, etc.
NOTE: If an item in the lot is transferred, generate an individual SE CM ALS record for
the item, and transfer it with the item.
10.17.3.6 SE Custody and Maintenance History Record (OPNAV 4790/51)
a. O-level and I-level activities must maintain an SE Custody and Maintenance History Record
(OPNAV 4790/51) per paragraph 8.5.17 for all items of SE in their custody that require depot level
maintenance or rework.
b. When the SE is transferred, the current working copy and the last completed copy of the SE
Custody and Maintenance History Record (OPNAV 4790/51) will accompany the SE. If
maintaining SE records in NALCOMIS OOMA or OIMA CM ALS, the activity must update the
OPNAV 4790/51 record prior to transfer. If the item is subcustody to an O-level activity, the O-
level activity must update the record and provide it with the SE whenever it is turned in for I-level
maintenance.
NOTE: An SE Custody and Maintenance History Record (OPNAV 4790/51) is not
required for SE assets permanently assigned to a Depot FRC. Depot FRCs will
follow local procedures for SE records.
10-259
1 Feb 2021
10.17.3.7 Historical File

a. A historical file will be maintained for each item of SE requiring PM. Historical files will be
filed in sequence of TEC and serial number.
b. The historical file will accompany SE that is transferred permanently or subcustody
(10.17.3.1) to another activity. If the SE is transferred subcustody, retain a copy on file until the SE
is returned. The activity having custody of the SE is responsible for maintaining the historical file.
NOTE: The historical file will not accompany SE issued on a temporary basis (10.17.3.2).
c. As applicable to the item, the historical file will contain:
Left Side
Preventive Maintenance MAFs O-level activities will maintain a hardcopy of the
(O-level activities, only) MAF for the most current completed I-level
inspection of each type until the next like
inspection is completed. For example, SE with
13, 26, and 52 week I-level PM requirements will
include the I-level MAF for the last completed
13, 26, and 52-week inspections. MAFs will be
filed in JCN sequence. NOTE: Maintain a
photocopy of tags used for proofload, weight
test, etc., in the file incase the tag is lost or
damaged.
Depot Rework documentation Documentation provided by the Depot for the last
rework completed.
D-level Maintenance documentation Documentation provided by the Depot for the last
completed action of each type of D-level
maintenance, such as D-level load test or
hydrostatic testing.

10.18.2.1 This NAMPSOP establishes requirements and responsibilities for calibrating TMDE
used by naval aviation activities. TMDE includes all devices and aviation SE used to measure,
calibrate, gage, test, inspect, diagnose, or otherwise examine materials, supplies, and equipment to
determine compliance with specifications, engineering drawings, technical orders, technical
manuals, maintenance instructions, and/or serviceability standards.
10.18.2.2 Periodic calibration of TMDE confirms an acceptable level of measurement reliability.
TMDE performance is compared against CALSTDS for a higher level of accuracy. This often
occurs in upper level calibration laboratories with traceability to national standards maintained by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the United States Naval
Observatory (USNO) using natural physical constants or ratio type calibrations.
10.18.2.3 COMNAVSEASYSCOM is the lead systems command for the Navy's METCAL
Program per OPNAVINST 3960.16.
10.18.2.4 NAWC AD Air Systems Maintenance METCAL is the Fleet Support Team (FST) for
aviation calibration and related matters that is responsible for the Naval Aviation Metrology and
Calibration Program policy, procedures, budgeting, and program funding allocation. NAWC AD
Air Systems Maintenance develops the D-level METCAL schedule requirements and funds the cost
of repair and calibration of I-level CALSTDS by D-level facilities.
10.18.2.5 Per NAVAIRINST 13640.1, MEASURE is the approved Automated Information System
(AIS) for the METCAL Program. The MEASURE Operational Control Center (MOCC) in San
Diego, CA publishes equipment recall schedules and provides data used for reliability and
engineering technical analysis in support of the METCAL Program.
10.18.2.6 The primary activities performing calibration of naval aviation equipment are D-level
laboratories, Regional Calibration Centers (RCC), and Field Calibration Activities (FCA).
a. RCCs support NAVAIR and NAVSEA workload in fleet concentration areas. RCCs
supporting NAVAIR workload are:
(1) Mid-Atlantic Regional Calibration Center, Norfolk, VA
(2) Southeast Regional Calibration Center, Jacksonville, FL
(3) Southwest Regional Calibration Center, San Diego, CA
b. FCAs are I-level calibration activities normally co-located on a naval air station, Marine
Corps air station, or ship with the activities they support. FCAs operate a Work Center 670 (FCA
Branch) and provide calibration and repair support for TMDE. I-level activities, not designated as
FCA only, operate a Work Center 67A (FCA Receipt and Issue) responsible for coordinating with
RCCs and FCAs for scheduling and calibrating the equipment for I-level and O-level activities the
I-level supports.
10-268
1 Feb 2021
10.18.3.1 Any TMDE or CALSTDS used to make quantitative measurements or to provide a
reference quantity of known value must be calibrated. Each item of calibrated TMDE or
CALSTDS must have a unique serial number affixed to enable tracking. If the manufacturer
affixed no serial number to the equipment, the calibrating activity will assign a serial number per
OP43P6B.
10.18.3.2 TMDE or CALSTDS will be calibrated and repaired at the most effective maintenance
level in consideration of applicable laws, urgency, priority, crew impact, capability, capacity, and
total ownership cost per OPNAVINST 3960.16.

AA-MAN-100.
10.18.3.4 Calibration interval changes issued by TYCOMs or published in the monthly Metrology
Bulletin (METBUL) must be implemented upon receipt. New calibration intervals will be
documented on equipment by placing a Special Calibration Label (NAVSEA 4734/15) next to, not
over, the current calibration label. The Special Calibration Label will cite the TYCOM direction or
METBUL, by month and year of publication, as the authority. The new calibration interval will be
annotated on the METER Card (OPNAV 4790/58) with the next due date changed.
NOTE: If the new calibration interval impacts operations due to otherwise serviceable
equipment becoming overdue for calibration, the activity may submit an extension
request per the procedures of paragraphs 10.18.3.4a and 10.18.3.4b.
a. Calibration intervals of non-safety related aviation TMDE may be extended by the TYCOM,
for only one interval as specified in NAVAIR 17-35MTL-1 or 4 months, whichever is less.
Extension requests for safety related aviation TMDE can only be authorized by NAWC AD Air

10.19.2.1 The Hazardous Material Control and Management (HMC&M) Program establishes
policy for storage, handling, disposal, and documentation of hazardous material (HAZMAT) used
to maintain aircraft and aeronautical equipment.
10.19.2.2 The Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization and Inventory Management Program
(CHRIMP) is a mandated Navy policy that provides the only source for aviation maintenance
activities to control and manage HAZMAT per NAVSUP Publication 722. Under CHRIMP, all
HAZMAT is centrally controlled using the Shore Work Center Authorized Use Lists (AUL) or
afloat Type Ships Hazardous Materials Lists (T-SHML) and is supplied based on validated
customer needs and properly trained users. Ships’ and stations’ Hazardous Material Minimization
Centers (HAZMINCEN) are required to comply with CHRIMP.
10.19.2.3 NAWC AD Design Interface Branch maintains the Aviation Hazardous Material List
(AHML) database of HAZMAT authorized or not authorized by the engineering technical authority
for use on aircraft, weapon systems, and support equipment (SE). The AHML database correlates
the HAZMAT requirements identified by aviation program offices with supply information and T-
SHML Allowed on Board (AOB) Codes. Only HAZMAT identified national stock numbers (NSN)
with Navy interest in technical publications are included in the AHML. The File Library on the
AHML website contains T/M/S Deployed Aviation Hazardous Material Lists (DAHMLs), which
assist in the development of deployment and detachment HAZMAT requirements based on current
maintenance tasks and usage as prescribed in T/M/S maintenance publications. The AHML
database is available on the AHML SharePoint website (https://myteam.navair.navy.mil/frc/ahml).
Questions concerning HAZMAT or the AHML can be sent to navair.hazmat.gm.fct@navy.mil.
NOTE: Batteries, fuel, and HAZMAT used for general office, facility maintenance, and
housekeeping are not included in the AHML.
10-285
1 Feb 2021
10.19.2.4 Navy policy requires the development of facility, activity, and work center AULs to
ensure the use of non-hazardous or the least hazardous, technically acceptable materials.
Depending on the HAZMAT database used at a location, the HAZMINCEN, Safety or
Environmental offices can provide copies of AULs.
10.19.2.5 Naval Supply Weapon Systems Support - Mechanicsburg (NAVSUP WSS - M) manages
the afloat T-SHMLs for all ship types (e.g. carriers, destroyers, etc.). T-SHMLs provides surface
ships with the ability to determine the HAZMAT authorized onboard and precludes stocking
materials the ship does not use. The SHML database is available on the NAVSUP WSS Hazardous
Materials Management (HMM) Tool https://my.navsup.navy.mil/apps/ops$hazmat.home.
10.19.2.6 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication
Standard (HAZCOM) (29 CFR 1910.1200) comprehensively addresses issues of classifying the
potential hazard of chemicals and communicating information concerning hazards and appropriate
protective measures to employees (including Navy personnel). This standard contains provisions
for developing and maintaining a written HAZCOM program, including a complete list of
HAZMAT in the workplace; labeling of chemical containers; preparation and availability of Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) for each hazardous chemical to communicate hazard information (such as the
safe handling, protective measures, and physical hazards), and associated training programs
regarding hazards of chemicals and protective measures.
NOTE: OSHA standards have been updated to be consistent with the United Nations Global
Harmonizing System (GHS) of Classification and Chemical Labeling. Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are now referred to Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Existing
MSDS are valid until new SDS are received from the manufacturer, distributor or
importer. All manufacturers, distributors or importers are required to provide a
GHS compliant SDS and GHS product labeling for all newly procured materials as
defined as HAZMAT under 29 CFR.
10.19.2.7 The Hazardous Materials Information Resource System (HMIRS) serves as the DoD
SDS and HAZMAT documentation repository and provides information for each specific product.
OPNAVINST 5100.23 and OPNAVINST 5100.19 outline the Navy’s HMIRS operations (both
ashore and afloat) and provide HMIRS access information. NAVMC DIR 5100.8 outlines the
Marine Corps Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Program (Marine Corps only). HMIRS is
available on DVD or the Defense Logistics Agency website at
http://www.dla.mil/HQ/InformationOperations/Offers/Products/LogisticsApplications/HMIRS/requ
estaccess.aspx
The HMC&M Program applies to all Navy, Marine Corps, and other government activities
performing maintenance or other functions in support of naval aviation.
10.19.3.1 Safety and Environmental Compliance
All aviation maintenance activities must fully support and comply with federal, state, and local
safety and environmental laws and regulations concerning HAZMAT handling, storage, use, reuse,
minimization, and disposal, to include compliance with OPNAV M-5090.1, OPNAVINST 5100.19,
10-286
1 Feb 2021
OPNAVINST 5100.23, NAVSUP Publication 722, DODINST 6050.05, NAVMC DIR 5100.8, 29
CFR Part 1910, and 40 CFR.
NOTES: 1. Failure to comply with HAZCOM safety and HAZMAT/HAZWASTE
environmental laws and regulations could result in federal violation notices and civil
or criminal liability.
2. Per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Global Harmonizing
System, MSDS are now referred to as SDS. Existing MSDSs are valid until new
SDSs are received.
10.19.3.2 Training and Qualification Requirements
All personnel who are exposed to chemical hazards must receive either HAZCOM for Supervisors
or HAZCOM for Non-Supervisors depending on position. Training prior to initial exposure to
HAZMAT and annually thereafter and must be documented in ASM per paragraph 10.1.

10.20 Intermediate Level (I-level) Component Repair Optimization (NAMPSOP)

10.20.1 References
a. NAVSUPINST 4423.29, Navy Uniform Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR)
Codes.
b. NAVAIRINST 4423.12, Assignment and Application of Uniform Source, Maintenance and
Recoverability Codes.
c. NA 00-25-8, Business Rules for the Assignment of Work Unit Codes and Type Equipment
Codes
10.20.2.1 This NAMPSOP is applicable to all Navy and Marine Corps intermediate level
maintenance activities (IMA).
10.20.2.2 Periodic reviews of component repair rates and the accuracy of the Individual
Component Repair List (ICRL) are key elements to an IMA achieving optimal productivity and cost
efficiency. The ICRL is the primary reference for components processed through Aeronautical
Material Screening Unit (AMSU) or Joint Aviation Screening Unit (JASU). Accuracy of the ICRL
is critical to ensuring AMSU or JASU either inducts a component into the correct IMA work center
for repair or expeditiously processes it for shipment to depot repair activities.
10.20.2.3 The COMNAVAIRFOR NIIN Analysis Tool (NAT), COMNAVAIRFOR Optimizing
our Intermediate Maintenance Activity ICRLs (Optima), and the COMNAVAIRFOR Combined
ICRL (Cmb-ICRL) are resources managed by COMNAVAIRPAC (Code N422) to assist IMAs
with reviewing their component repair capabilities and ICRL. These tools can be downloaded from
the CNAP SharePoint.
a. The NAT enables comparison of the RFI rate of all IMAs, by NIIN. COMNAVAIRPAC
N422 updates the NAT quarterly to provide activities with current data for conducting Component
Repair Reviews.
b. Optima combines data from One Touch, OOMA Baselines, DECKPLATE Level II Repair
Data, and local AVDLR Stock Inventory data. Optima enables IMAs to:
(1) Identify common ICRL data errors.
(2) Validate site entered SM&R Codes against NAVSUP One Touch, ICRL WUC/TEC and
SRC Card NALCOMIS IMA data and OOMA Baseline.
(3) Provide visibility of Stocked Items without ICRL data on file.
c. The Cmb-ICRL is a compilation of ICRL extracts from all IMAs. The Combined ICRL
enables IMAs to:
(1) Determine the appropriate work center to induct components not listed on their ICRL by
searching the component’s NIIN or part number (P/N) for the work center assignment used by other
IMAs.
10-296
1 Feb 2021
(2) Compare their repair capability to other IMAs.

(3) Determine repair and return opportunities.
(4) Find the name and e-mail address of the MMCO, MMCPO, ICRL Manager and
NALCOMIS Maintenance Database Administrator (DBA) of all IMAs.
(5) Compare local ICRL data to One Touch to verify the accuracy of CAGE, P/N, NIIN, and
SM&R code entries on the ICRL, and to determine if there are mismatches between One Touch and
the ICRL.
10.20.3 Component Repair Review and ICRL Validation
10.20.3.1 Periodicity. A Component Repair Review and ICRL Validation must be completed
twice per year, during May and November. CVN and L-Class AIMDs will perform reviews in
accordance with pre-deployment milestones.
10.20.3.2 Component Repair Review Procedures
a. Generate an Improvement Opportunities Report from the NAT by selecting the fiscal year
under consideration, entering the activities ORG code, and an asterisk (*) for the work center.
Review the report, investigate constraints to productivity, and annotate the report with the findings
of the investigation.
NOTE: The RFI comparison percentage default setting for the Improvement Opportunities
Report is 15 percent, which may be changed by the user.
b. Use the COMNAVAIRFOR Cmb-ICRL to compare repair capability to other IMAs.
Procedures:
(1) Check A1/X1 item NIINs to see if they are listed by another IMA as C1/C3. If so,
research the potential to improve repair capability.
(2) Check SM&R codes in site NALCOMIS data for missing SM&R codes or different
SM&R Codes than those listed in One Touch.
(3) After review, submit the ICRL data to COMNAVAIRPAC using the automated
procedures found within the Combined ICRL program.
c. Submit SM&R Code Change Requests for items repaired with an SM&R Code of PAOOO
(Repair and Dispose of at the O-level), PAODD (No I-level Repair Authorized) or PA_ZZ (No
Repair Authorized). SM&R Code Change Requests will be sent to the TYCOM Aircraft or
Equipment Class Desk via JDRS per the procedures of NAVAIRINST 4423.12A. Status of
previously submitted SM&R Code Change Requests will also be reviewed during the Component
Repair Review.
d. The AIRSpeed Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) Team will evaluate the accuracy of
TRR and Buffers for components that entered EXREP status at any time during the 6 month period.
10.20.3.3 ICRL Validation Procedures
10-297
1 Feb 2021
a. Each work center must conduct a semi-annual review of each ICRL data field for accuracy
and conformance with the data field requirements of paragraph 10.20.3.4.
NOTE: Corrections to component data (Nomenclature, NSN, P/N, CAGE Code, FGC, work
center assignment, COG, etc.) do not require an ICRL Change Request (Figure
10.20-1). Corrections must be submitted to the ICRL Manager by memorandum or
email, citing the specific reference for the correct data.
b. Use the COMNAVAIRFOR Combined ICRL to compare repair capability to other IMAs for
items with a CC of A1. Any A1 item listed by another IMA as C1 will be investigated for the
potential to improve the repair capability.
c. Review at least 50 percent of the X1 CC (Repair Not Authorized) items listed on the ICRL
during the May review and the remaining items during the November review. Procedures:
(1) Validate that the SM&R Code for the item does not assign any repair capability to the I-
level.
(2) Research the COMNAVAIRFOR Combined ICRL to determine if any other IMA is
repairing the item and contact the repairing IMAs for information on the repairs they are able to
perform.
NOTE: The X1 CC review may be broken into more frequent segments (monthly or
quarterly) as long as 100 percent of X1 items are reviewed each year.
d. Review status of resolving deficiencies causing CCs of X2, X3, or X6.
e. Process ICRL Change Requests (Figure 10.20-1) for addition or deletion of items, and
changes to CCs when reducing capability. Where possible, batch similar add/change/deletions
together with a list attached to a single ICR Form when they are similar in nature, for example
deletion of all ICRL Records associated with a TMS aircraft no longer supported.
NOTE: An ICRL Change Request is not required for addition of C1 or C3 capability code
items. Input C1 and C3 updates to NALCOMIS immediately.
10.20.3.4 ICRL Data Field Procedures
NOTES: 1. One Touch Support must be used as the reference for P/N, CAGE, NIIN and
other supply related content such as COG, MCC, FSC, SM&R, etc.
(https://www.onetouch.navy.mil/).

ICRL CAPABILITY CODES

C1 - Capable of Repair. This code identifies items for which normal failures can be repaired and
tested, and Ready For Issue (RFI) certification performed. C1 will be assigned for all items for
which the Source, Maintenance, and Recoverability (SM&R) Code indicates repair should be
performed by the activity unless there is a deficiency in equipment (X2), skill (X3) or technical
data (X6) that prevents repair.
C3 - Limited Repair. This code identifies items for which the normal range of repair cannot be
accomplished. However, repair to some extent beyond test and Ready For Issue (RFI) certification
can be performed. Example: The IMA is capable of landing strut repair, to include replacement of
out-of-tolerance bearings. However, the bearing press is not working, which prevents the repair of
landing struts with out-of-tolerance bearings.
A1 - Check and Test Only. This code identifies items, which can be tested for range of common
failures, but cannot be repaired at the activity.
M1 - Assemble/Manufacture. This code identifies material, which can be assembled or fabricated
by the I-level activity.
R1 - Repair and Return to Originating Activity. This code identifies components that are
automatically and routinely sent from one shore I-level activity to another shore I-level activity for
repair and return. This code can only be used with Work Center 05A.
X1 - Repair Not Authorized. This code indicates the activity is not authorized to repair the
component. This code is equivalent to BCM 1 and indicates that the I-level activity is not
authorized to repair the component. X1 will not be used for field level repairable equipment (see
X-9) or lack of SE, technical data, technicians, or training (see X-8).
X2 - Lack of Authorized Equipment/Tools/Facilities. This code indicates authorized equipment,
tools, or facilities are not available. This code must always be accompanied by a Target Capability
Code (TCC) and a Target Capability Code Date (TCC DT).
X3 - Lack of Required Technical Skills. This code indicates required skills are not available. This
code must always be accompanied with a TCC and a TCC DT.
X6 - Lack of Technical Data. This code indicates repair cannot be accomplished due to lack of
maintenance manuals, drawings, test program disk/tape, test program instruction, etc., which
describe detailed repair procedures and requirements. A TCC and a TCC DT must always
accompany this code.
X8 – Administrative/Repair Prohibited by Higher Authority. This code identifies I Level
Repairable material, SM&R Coded F, G or H in 4th Position, that cannot be repaired at this IMA.
Example: H-60 Component inducted at non H-60 Supporting IMA. Use R1 however, if
component is normally sent R&R. This code can only be assigned with Work Center 05A.
Figure 10.20-2 (page 1): ICRL Capability Codes
10-307
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: X8 is not available for use until OIMA is modified.

X9 - Field Level Repairable (FLR) without repair potential. This code identifies FLR material
where repair will not be attempted, FLRs where repairs are attempted must be assigned C1/C3.
This code can only be assigned with Work Center 05A.
NOTE: X9 is not available for use until OIMA is modified.
Z1 - Consumable Material. This code identifies material assigned SM&R Code with ZZ in the
fourth and fifth positions or B in the fourth position for which a repair program has not been
planned but a capability exists to repair a limited range of failures, or for which the I-level activity
is capable of performing a servicing function, for example, flushing or cleaning.
D1 - Full D-Level Capability. This code identifies items for which the full range of failures can be
completely repaired, reworked, or overhauled. This code signifies an activity as being a DRP.
D3 - Partial D-Level Capability.

10.21.2.1 Per ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014, improper handling of Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive
(ESDS) devices can cause components to fail. Per NAVAIRINST 2400.1, Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) can cause degraded performance of mission critical systems. To minimize the
risk of ESD and EMI damage, this NAMPSOP establishes policy for training, handling, protecting,
storing, and transporting of ESDS devices and components, and for the reporting and mitigation of
EMI incidents.
10.21.2.2 NAWC AD E3 Engineering Division is the technical lead for this NAMPSOP and for the
Air Systems Electromagnetic Interference Corrective Action Program (ASEMICAP). The
ASEMICAP Web application (https://asemicap.navair.navy.mil) contains all ANSI/ESD standards
under license from the ESD Association (ESDA) to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
10.21.3 Training
Per ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014, personnel training is a critical element in the implementation of an
ESD control program. All personnel that handle, inspect, package, transport, or maintain
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) items must receive job-specific EMI/ESD initial training.
Initial training must be completed prior to personnel being allowed to handle or independently
10-311
1 Feb 2021
perform maintenance on ESDS items without the supervision of a trained individual. O-level and I-
level personnel will complete annual refresher training. Depot Level personnel will receive
refresher training on an 18-month cycle.
NOTES: 1. The ASEMICAP Web application (https://asemicap.navair.navy.mil) contains
EMI and ESD training materials.
2. Training from ASEMICAP Fleet Support Specialists (FSS) can be requested
through the ASEMICAP Web application or directly from the local ASEMICAP
FSS.
10.21.3.1 ESDS Component Protection
a. All electronic Weapons Replaceable Assembly (WRAs), Shop Replaceable Assembly
(SRAs), and individual solid state electronic components will be considered ESDS items.
b. ESDS items believed to be exposed to ESD or handled without protective equipment will be
considered not-ready for issue (NRFI) and must be tested prior to being certified ready for issue
(RFI).
c. ESDS items not rendered ESD safe per 10.21.3.2. will be handled at ESD Protected Area
(EPA) that complies with the requirements identified in NAVAIR 01-1A-23, WP 004 04-4.6.
d. Uninstalled WRAs and SRAs must have external cannon plugs and connector pins covered
with the provided connector cap or an ESD Cap. If authorized covers are not available, ESD finger
cots or ESD tape can be applied. WRAs, SRAs, and discrete components can be protected by an
inner layer of anti-static pink poly material and an outer layer of static shielding material, or a bag
with both characteristics.
e. Uninstalled SRAs must be protected by an inner layer of anti-static pink poly material that is
then enclosed in an outer layer of static shielding material. Per ANSI/ESD TR20.20-2016, Ch.
20.6, a closed or sealed ESD shielding bag possessing both shield and anti-stat characteristics is
preferred.
NOTE: Approved ESD protective materials and ESD labels are listed on the ASEMICAP
website (https://asemicap.navair.navy.mil).
f. NAVAIR 01-1A-23, WP 004 04 4.7.4 specifies applying an ESD caution label to the outside
of the static shielding material. If ESD caution labels are not available, mark the outside of the
shielding material in such a way as to identify that an ESDS item is enclosed.
NOTE: ESD protective materials, for example, conductive caps and anti-static shielding
bags, are a FOD hazard and must be controlled.
g. ESDS items must be placed in ESD safe condition immediately after removal from the
aircraft or equipment, and must remain in ESD safe configuration until the time of repair or re-
installation.
10-312
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: ESD safe condition is a condition in which all WRA connectors are covered with ESD
protective materials. SRAs can be considered ESD Safe when placed in protective
packaging per 10.21.3.1e.
h. To minimize the potential for foreign object damage (FOD) to aircraft, only ESD finger cots
or ESD tape will be used when ESDS WRAs are transported to or from flight line or flight deck
areas.
i. Prior to storage or shipment, properly protected ESD safe items that require extra protection
from physical damage will be placed in a protective container or wrapped with standard bubble
wrap secured with tape. Affix an ESD caution label to the outside of the package to identify the
item as ESDS.
NOTE: Pink poly bubble wrap, bags, and caps provide physical protection, but do not
provide shielding protection.
j. ESDS items placed in maintenance kits (in-flight troubleshooting kits, squadron pack-up kits,
I-level maintenance assist kits, etc) will be in an ESD safe configuration when not in use.
k. ESDS items turned into the supply system must be ESD protected per this NAMPSOP
l. ESDS items received from the supply system that are not properly ESD protected and
packaged per MIL-HDBK-773A will be reported via a Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR) per
NAVSUP Publication 723.
10.21.3.2 ESD Protected Areas (EPA)
a. EPAs must be identified with signs or posters per NAVAIR 01-1A-23, WP 004 04-4.6.5.
b. EPAs will contain, at a minimum, a properly configured workstation per NAVAIR 01-1A-
23, WP 004 04-4.6.
c. EPAs must be grounded per NAVAIR 01-1A-23, WP 004 00. In some instances, an EPA or
workstation may have to be configured in such a way as to require direct grounding to the power
ground (aircraft tie down) located within a hangar.
WARNING: FOR PERSONNEL SAFETY, EQUIPMENT MUST BE DE-ENERGIZED
WHEN WRIST STRAPS ARE IN USE.
NOTE: The use of the ESD Earth Ground Checker (EGC), which utilizes the third wire
equipment ground present in almost all AC outlets is an approved ground source,
per ASEMICAP web application at https://asemicap.navair.navy.mil.
d. No prime generators, as defined in NAVAIR 01-1A-23, WP 004 00, will be closer than 24
inches to an EPA.
e. Preoperational checks for EPAs must be performed per NAVAIR 17-600-193ESD-6-1.
Preoperational checks must be documented on an OPNAV 4790/52 Preoperational Inspection
Record.
10-313
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Non-2M EPAs are exempt from 28-day conditional inspection requirements because
28-day conditional checks and cleaning are part of the preoperational check.
f. O-level activities that remove or replace SRAs or components within WRAs must have an
EPA, or, at a minimum, an ESD Field Service Kit.
(1) When practical, portable ESD field service kits will be used when removing or replacing
individual SRAs or components onboard aircraft during in-flight or ground maintenance.
Personnel, work mats, and wrist straps must be grounded against the aircraft frame during
maintenance on ESDS items.
(2) Squadron detachments deployed aboard air capable ships must have, at a minimum, a

10.23.2.1 This NAMPSOP establishes requirements for operating and maintaining aviation gas
turbine engine test facilities operated by Navy and Marine Corps Intermediate Level Maintenance
Activities (IMA), and establishes requirements for training and designating IMA Test Cell
Operators and Qualifiers.
NOTE: Unless specifically stated otherwise in this NAMPSOP, the term “engine test facility”
(ETF) and the term “test cell” denote both Gas Turbine Engine Test Systems
(GTETS) and Global Test Facilities (GTF).
10.23.2.2 Proper maintenance and operation of gas turbine engine test facilities (ETF) is critical to
safe and thorough aircraft engine testing. Improper operation of ETF can result in mishaps, reduced
operational readiness, and unnecessary engine replacement costs. To avoid injury to personnel and
damage to engines, ETFs must be properly maintained and test cell Operators must be thoroughly
knowledgeable and skilled in ETF operations, safety precautions, and emergency procedures.
10.23.2.3 Reworked, repaired, or overhauled gas turbine engines normally require operational test
or functional check in an ETF. Only qualified test cell Operators or test cell Operators under
instruction are authorized to perform test cell operations. Test cell Operators and Qualifiers are
certified to operate a particular type of ETF (ETF), and are certified to test only the engines
specified on their certification document.
10.23.2.4 Refer to NAVAIR NOTE 4700 for information on which IMAs are authorized to repair
specific model aircraft engines and what level of repair they are authorized to perform.
10.23.3 ETF Operator Training
10.23.3.1 ETF Operator training can be provided by a NATEC Joint Test System (JTS)
representative or an ETF Qualifier certified for the type test cell and type engine operated. The
ETF Qualifier does not have to be assigned to the trainee’s command. NATEC JTS representative
on-site training is normally performed coincident with the initial installation and calibration of the
10-323
1 Feb 2021
test facility. Activities may also request NATEC on-site training when needed to improve technical
knowledge and skill.
10.23.3.2 ETF Operator training must be conducted using the specified Navy Training Systems
Plan (NTSP) in conjunction with locally prepared site specific job qualification requirement (JQR),
prepared per JQR procedures of 10.1. The JQR will be developed by the activity’s Gas Turbine
Engine Test Facility Operation and Maintenance Program Manager with assistance from ETF
Qualifiers and Quality Assurance (QA) personnel, and must be approved for use by the MO.
Marine Corps personnel must use the Maintenance Training Management and Evaluation Program
(MATMEP) Individual Qualification Record (IQR) for Aircraft Power Plant Test Cell Operator
(MOS 6023).
10.23.3.3 The ETF JQR must include site-specific on-the-job training (OJT). OJT must include, as
a minimum, the following task or knowledge areas:
a. Use of test system and type engine maintenance technical manuals.
b. Engine test system instrumentation and controls.
c. Gas turbine engine operating parameters and limitations.
d. Engine test facility installed systems; such as fuel, lubrication, engine start, fire

i. Engine performance calculations and documentation.
j. Post-operational inspections of engine test system and engine per maintenance technical
manuals.
k. Engine and test system troubleshooting procedures per maintenance technical manuals.
l. A minimum of two performance runs as the ETF Operator under the direct supervision of an
ETF Qualifier or NATEC JTS representative as part of the pass or fail practical examination.
NOTES: 1. Personnel designated as ETF Operators by a previous command on the same
engine test system and type engine are not required to complete a performance run
prior to taking the practical examination.
2. Activities without ETF Qualifiers may request assistance in training personnel
from the nearest IMA authorized to conduct ETF Operator training for the same
test system and type engine(s) being certified to operate. If no other IMA can
10-324
1 Feb 2021
provide training, assistance may be requested from a qualified NATEC JTS

representative.
10.23.3.4 ETF Qualifiers must be trained by a NATEC JTS representative for the test system and
type engine. Previous training by NATEC for designation as an ETF Operator does not satisfy the
requirement for training as an ETF Qualifier.
10.23.4 ETF Operator and ETF Qualifier Designation
10.23.4.1 ETF Operator Designation
ETF Operators must:
a. Complete the ETF Operator JQR and pass a written exam administered by QA and a
practical examination (pass or fail) administered by an ETF Qualifier or NATEC JTS
representative.
b. Be designated, in writing, by the MO. The designation must indicate the engine test system
and type engines qualified to operate. Designation or re-designation will be documented in ASM.
NOTE: ETF Operators previously designated at another command may be designated after
passing a written examination administered by QA and a practical examination
administered by an ETF Qualifier or NATEC JTS representative. Previously
designated ETF Operators failing either the written or practical examinations must
complete refresher training or the entire OJT syllabus, as determined by the
Program Manager. Previous certification records must be retained in the IQR or
ASM.
10.23.4.2 ETF Qualifier Designation

test cell. All engine runs must be documented in the IQR or ASM. Every attempt must be made to
maintain proficiency on all type engines certified to run. Failure to perform at least one engine run
on a particular type engine within a 12 month period will result in loss of certification for that
specific type engine.
10.23.5.2 Recertification Requirements
a. ETF Operators must be recertified every 24 months. Recertification requires passing the
same written and practical examinations required for initial certification for each type engine they
are qualified to run. Afloat activities that are unable to operate their test cell for extended periods of
time (greater than 3 months) may perform their recertification practical examinations at another
activity with a NATEC JTS representative or ETF Qualifier designated, in writing, for that type test
cell. For planning purposes and operational commitments, recertification examinations can be
completed up to 3 months prior to the ETF Operator’s certification expiration date.
NOTE: ETF Qualifiers are not required to recertify as ETF Operators while assigned to the
same command as long as proficiency is maintained per paragraph 10.23.5.1.
b. Certification for ETF Operators exceeding 24 months since designation or recertification will
be suspended until they have completed refresher training by a ETF Qualifier or NATEC JTS
representative and pass the written and practical examinations. ETF Operators failing either the
written or practical examination, must complete refresher training or complete the entire OJT
syllabus as determined by the Program Manager.
c. Recertification will be documented in ASM.

10.23.7.4 Basic Maintenance Requirements
a. ETF pre-operational inspections and scheduled maintenance will be performed per applicable
technical manuals.
b. ETFs and surrounding areas must receive a fresh water wash down per AG-JETIS-MRC-
000. If environmental issues preclude fresh water wash down, a hand wipe down using
environmentally approved material will satisfy the requirement. Activities that cannot meet wash
down criteria must coordinate with their respective ACC or TYCOM for approval to use alternative
methods.
c. Auxiliary equipment will be stored in suitable facilities when uninstalled and not in use.
d. Outdoor engine stand junction box and engine wiring harnesses must be protected by a
suitable weatherproof cover when not in use.
e. Suitable supports must be used to ensure interconnecting cables, hoses, and lines do not
contact the ground. Water, grease, or other foreign matter will not be allowed to accumulate on
cables.
f. Test cell hoses and tubes must be maintained per NAVAIR 01-1A-20, Aviation Hose and
Tube Manual.
g. A Jet Engine Test Cell Malfunction Report must be forwarded by Broad Arrow message per
5.2.8 to the ACC or TYCOM when a facility becomes inoperative to the extent that an unacceptable
production delay is anticipated. The ACC or TYCOM will advise the originator of the report when
corrective action cannot be completed with available assets and expertise. GTF activities must
report malfunctions and inoperative equipment per local policy.
10.23.7.5 Electrical Power Requirements. The instruments used in conjunction with the test
stand are designed to operate on predetermined power ratings within relatively small tolerances.
Changes in voltage or frequency or a combination of both will affect the accuracy of the
instrumentation and contribute to component failures. Whenever possible station or commercial
power will be used. If station or commercial power is not available and electrical power is supplied
by a portable generator, the ETF Operator will ensure:
a. The portable generator is 208/115 volts A.C., 60Hz, 100KW or higher, three phase, and four
wire.
10-329
1 Feb 2021
b. The portable generator is monitored to ensure its voltage and frequency remains stable.
WARNING: FOR PERSONNEL SAFETY, THE CONTROL CAB, ENGINE STAND, AND
PORTABLE GENERATOR MUST BE CONNECTED BY AUXILIARY
GROUNDING CABLES WITH A COMMON CONNECTION TO A
SUITABLE GROUNDING DEVICE, FOR EXAMPLE, A METAL STAKE
DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND AT A SUFFICIENT DEPTH TO ENSURE
PROPER GROUNDING. THE GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS MUST BE
CONFIGURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INSTALLATION/OPERATION PUBLICATION FOR THE APPLICABLE
PORTABLE GENERATOR.
10.23.7.6 Calibration. Facility equipment must be calibrated per the applicable intervals cited in
the Metrology Requirement List. The activity will provide an ETF Operator and an electrician to
assist the calibration team.
10.23.7.7 Basic Operating Procedures.
a. Jet engine test facility custodians must prepare a check list of starting, shutdown, and
emergency procedures to be used during engine test system operation, based on the procedures
outlined in the applicable engine maintenance technical manuals and the test system preoperational
MRCs. The check list will be available within the control cab and used by ETF Operators during
each engine test.
b. Engines under test must be secured per NAVAIR 17-1-537, Aircraft Securing and Handling
Procedures with Aircraft Restraining Devices and Related Components.
10.23.7.8 Engine Test Cell Technical Evaluation. Prior to correlation, all newly constructed
ETFs, significantly modified (affecting aerodynamic or thermodynamic flow) or rebuilt fixed ETFs
must undergo a comprehensive technical evaluation conducted by NAVAIRWARCENACDIV
Lakehurst NJ to ensure suitability for use. Unless waived by NAVAIRWARCENACDIV
Lakehurst NJ, a technical evaluation and an engine correlation must be satisfactorily completed
before engines can be certified RFI based on ETF testing. The local activity resident officer in
charge of construction will request the evaluation via naval message to NAVAIRWARCENACDIV
Lakehurst NJ and COMNAVAIRLANT Norfolk VA (code N421M and N423B), prior to
acceptance of the facility.
10.23.7.9 Engine Test Cell Correlation. To ensure engines consistently meet all performance
requirements, a test cell correlation for each engine type tested must be conducted for all enclosed,
permanent turbofan, jet, shaft, or prop engine test facilities. Test cell correlation may also be
required when engine test procedures and parameters are changed or the design of engine dress kit
hardware (inlet screen, bell mouth, exhaust nozzle, etc.) is modified such that it could affect
aerodynamic or thermodynamic flow. Outdoor (open-air) jet engine test systems generally do not
require correlation unless certain site-specific conditions alter airflow dynamics to the engine.
Outdoor (open-air) Turboshaft Engine Test Systems using a torque tube to measure torque output
also require correlation. If a torque tube is replaced with a different serial number torque tube for
any reason, the facility must be re-correlated for both indoor and outdoor turboshaft test systems.
The interval between correlations must not exceed 3 years. Requests to extend test cell correlation
10-330
1 Feb 2021
beyond 3 years may be granted with joint ACC, TYCOM, and NAVAIRWARCENACDIV
Lakehurst NJ concurrence. Extensions to the correlation interval should never exceed a total of 7
years unless extenuation circumstances are agreed upon by joint ACC, TYCOM and
NAVAIRWARCENACDIV Lakehurst NJ concurrence.

10.24 Aviation Maintenance Inspections (AMI) and Maintenance Program Assessments

(MPA)
10.24.1 Reference
OPNAVINST 4790.2, The Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP)
10.24.2.1 This NAMPSOP directs the performance of Aviation Maintenance Inspections (AMI)
and Maintenance Program Assessments (MPA).
10.24.2.2 An AMI is a formal Aircraft Controlling Custodian (ACC) inspection to verify
compliance with the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP) and related directives. AMIs
include drills and practical examinations to validate proficiency and application of correct
procedures. The AMI is based on the same Computerized Self Evaluation Checklist (CSEC)
standards used by maintenance activities to self-audit NAMP compliance, as specified in the
NAMP Compliance Auditing Program, paragraph 10.7.
10.24.2.3 An MPA is performed by the ACC, Type Wing, or MAW to determine areas of
deficiency in NAMP compliance and assist in performance improvement. MPAs are conducted
using the CSEC and Wing Supplemental CSEC, if applicable.
NOTE: Refer to COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.5 for direction on aircraft Material
Condition Inspections (MCI).
10.24.3 Aviation Maintenance Inspection (AMI)
10.24.3.1 AMIs will be conducted by COMNAVAIRFOR for O-level and I-level Navy and Marine
Corps activities operating or supporting aircraft assigned to COMNAVAIRPAC,
COMNAVAIRLANT, COMNAVAIRFORES, and CNATRA.
10.24.3.2 AMIs for all activities assigned to NAVAIR will be conducted by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM.
10.24.3.3 Deploying squadrons and CVN or L-Class AIMDs must receive an AMI prior to each
deployment. The pre-deployment AMI will be completed no earlier than 4 months and no later
than 2 months prior to the scheduled month of deployment. AMIs for CVN or L-Class AIMDs will
be performed during the integrated or advanced phase of the Fleet Response Plan.
NOTES: 1. To meet short notice deployments, COMNAVAIRFOR (N422) may direct the
Type Wing or MAW to conduct an MPA, in lieu of an AMI. The MPA results will
be provided to COMNAVAIRFOR (N422) for review. If the results of the MPA are
determined acceptable, COMNAVAIRFOR may accept the results of the MPA as
the pre-deployment AMI. A shorter than average turnaround training cycle is not
justification to request an MPA in lieu of the pre-deployment AMI.
2. Time between deploying activity AMIs will not exceed 30 months, with the
exception of CVN and L-Class ships undergoing an extended maintenance period
and squadrons transitioning from one type/model/series aircraft to another..
10-332
1 Feb 2021
10.24.3.4 Squadrons that deploy detachments and Marine Aviation Logistics Squadrons (MALS)
will receive an AMI every 24 months, not to exceed 30 months. For Navy, this includes HSM,
HSC Expeditionary, HSC VTUAV, VUP, VQ, VR, and VRC squadrons. For Marine Corps, this
includes VMGR squadrons and VMA, HMH, and HMLA squadrons that deploy detachments
aboard L-Class ships as part of the Aviation Combat Element (ACE). The VMM squadron
assigned as the ACE Composite Commander will receive an AMI within 2 months prior to
becoming a composite unit.
10.24.3.5 Activities permanently based Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) will receive

10.25.2.1 This NAMPSOP applies to the management of all Navy and Marine Corps aircraft
assigned to COMNAVAIRFOR and COMNAVAIRFORES Aircraft Controlling Custody (ACC),
with the exception of aircraft undergoing scheduled depot rework.
10.25.2.2 Long Term Down (LTD) aircraft. For the purposes of the NAMP, a LTD aircraft is
defined as an aircraft that has not flown for 90 days or more.
10.25.2.3 The possibility of material degradation increases when aircraft are not flown (non-
operational) for long periods of time. Primary actions for minimizing the number of aircraft in
LTD status are:
a. Management of aircraft utilization
b. Standardized actions at specified times
c. OPNAV, COMNAVAIRFOR, NAVAIR, COMFRC, and NAVSUP WSS coordination in
resolving systemic issues causing LTD status
10.25.3.1 LTD aircraft must be preserved at the most appropriate level specified in NAVAIR 15-
01-500. Factors to consider in determining the preservation level:
a. Length of time the aircraft is expected to be inactive (See paragraphs 10.25.3.2, 10.25.3.3,
and 10.25.3.4 for direction.)
b. Environmental conditions (parked inside or outside, temperature and humidity levels,
proximity to salt water, etc.)
c. Whether the aircraft is being actively maintained (repairs are ongoing and scheduled
maintenance is being performed)
d. Impact of missing parts to the aircraft’s integrity (missing flight surfaces, panels, engines, etc.)
e. The ultimate disposition of the aircraft (Induction into the depot for repair, transfer to
AMARG, strike, etc.)
10.25.3.2 Aircraft expected to be non-operational for up to 365 days must be placed in Level II
preservation, unless being actively worked to return to flying status. Actively worked is defined as
all special inspections being performed and maintenance is on-going to repair and fly the aircraft
before reaching 365 days of non-operation.
10-338
1 Feb 2021
10.25.3.3 Aircraft expected to exceed 365 days of non-operation should be Level III preserved per
NAVAIR 15-01-500.
10.25.3.4 Aircraft undergoing a scheduled depot rework (PMI/IMC) or repair at the depot will be
placed in Level IV preservation per NAVAIR 15-01-500.

of LTD aircraft in the context of individual squadron and overall Wing aircraft readiness
requirements.”
c. Direct cannibalization actions when deemed efficient and effective in minimizing long-term
non-operational status, per paragraph 5.1.8.
d. Ensure squadrons do not perform large-scale cannibalization from one aircraft to another
solely to prevent LTD status. Cannibalization will be performed only when necessary to support
operational requirements.
e Monitor estimated delivery dates of long-lead time parts and direct appropriate level of
preservation as soon as any non-operational milestone specified in paragraph 10.25.3 is anticipated.
f. Coordinate with the supporting supply activity to expedite long-lead time parts.
g. Coordinate with the ACC Class Desk to obtain Level III preservation services.
a. Coordinate with NAVSUP and NAVAIR to resolve factors causing long-term non-
operational status.
b. Manage the distribution of aircraft inventory to minimize the readiness impact of planned

10.28 Aircraft Magnetic Compass Calibration and Verification

10.28.1 References
T/M/S aircraft technical manuals.
10.28.2.1 This NAMPSOP applies to aircraft with a magnetic compass system. A magnetic
compass system is any compass system or instrument that uses the earth’s magnetic field to
determine and display heading information. Magnetic compass systems include, but are not limited
to, standby wet compasses, solid state magnetometers, magnetic azimuth detectors, and magnetic
flux valves.
10.28.2.2 Magnetic compass systems are affected by metallic materials, avionics, engines, and
other aircraft equipment and must be calibrated in their installed environment to compensate for
these effects. A magnetic compass calibration is also referred to as a compass swing.
10.28.3.1 Scheduled and conditional magnetic compass calibrations and verifications must be
performed per the procedures directed in T/M/S maintenance instructions.
10.28.3.2 To minimize the possibility of calibration coming due during a deployment, aircraft
requiring scheduled compass calibration or verification will be calibrated or verified to not come
due for at least 60 days after the planned end of the deployment.
10.28.3.3 A Compass Correction Card must be placed near each compass indicator in aircraft
requiring compass calibration. Figure 10.28-1 provides an example of a locally produced Compass
Correction Card. The AS5823 (NSN6605-00-584-4227) Compass Correction Card may also be
used. The Compass Correction Card will contain the following information:
a. Front:
(1) SYSTEM - The system that was calibrated, for example, “Standby Wet Compass
(Pilot)” or “Standby Wet Compass (Co-Pilot)”.
(2) BUNO - The bureau number of the aircraft the system is installed in.
(3) MODEX - The MODEX of the aircraft the system is installed in.
(4) SWUNG - The date the system was calibrated/verified.
b. Back:
(1) Stamp or printed name and signature of the CDI that verified entries on the Compass
Correction Card are correct and the card is properly installed in the cockpit.
(2) Printed name and signature of CDI who witnessed the calibration or the aircrew who
performed the in-flight verification.
10-370
1 Feb 2021
NOTES: 1. Headings on the Compass Correction Card will be changed only as a result of a
compass calibration. If a compass verification is performed between calibrations,
transcribe the headings from the most recent calibration Compass Correction Card
to the verification Compass Correction Card. The new verification Compass
Correction Card will be posted near each compass indicator.
2. If the Compass Correction Card in the aircraft is lost or becomes unreadable, a
new card may be created from the readings entered in the aircraft logbook
Miscellaneous History per paragraph 10.28.3.5.
10.28.3.4 Compass calibration directed by a special MRC will be documented as a special
(scheduled) inspection. Compass calibration not directed by a special MRC will be documented as
a conditional (unscheduled) inspection on the WO that documents the condition or discrepancy
requiring calibration.
10.28.3.5 Calibrations and verifications must be documented in Optimized OMA NALCOMIS
Miscellaneous History Record. Activities not operating OOMA will make a manual entry in the
aircraft logbook Miscellaneous History section (OPNAV 4790/25A). Compass Calibrations entries
must include:
a. The system that was calibrated or verified, for example, “Standby Wet Compass.”
b. The date the system was calibrated or verified.
c. The calibration and verification method. If the system was calibrated, list the specific
method for example, “MCCS” or “MRC Card No. XXX”. If the system was verified, specify the
method of verification, for example, “in-flight verification” or “ground verification.”
d. The name of the CDI who witnessed the calibration or ground verification or the name of the
aviator who performed the in-flight verification.
e. The geographical location where the calibration or verification was performed.
f. The statement “All readings are within the limits specified by (list the maintenance
instruction)” followed by each heading, reading, and residual error. For example, “All readings are
within the limits specified by T/M/S maintenance instruction reference.”
Heading = 000, Reading = 003, Residual Error = +3 Degrees
Heading = 015, Reading = 017, Residual Error = +2 Degrees
Heading = 030, Reading = 031, Residual Error = +1 Degree
Heading = 045, Reading = 045, Residual Error = 0
10.28.3.6 Deviations
a. Prior to requesting a deviation, if aircraft and operational conditions permit, an in-flight or
ground comparison check must be accomplished using a known good reference system (Inertial
Navigation System, Tactical Navigation, Ground Control Radar, or Automatic Directional Finder)
against the Aircraft Compass System. The comparison check certifies only the apparent operation
10-371
1 Feb 2021
of the Magnetic Compass System in question and will be substituted only until the preferred or
alternate method of calibration/verification is accomplished.
b. Deviation requests must be submitted by naval message to the ACC Aircraft Class Desk, via
the Wing, with the following information:
(1) Aircraft T/M/S and BUNO
(2) Date calibration due
(3) Type of system and calibration/verification requirement. For example, “Flux Valve
Compass 364-Day Scheduled Calibration” or “Flux Valve Compass Conditional Calibration Due to
R&R”
(4) Reason calibration cannot be performed
(5) Method of bearing comparison check and results
(6) How long deviation is required
a. Issue MRCs and maintenance technical manuals for each T/M/S and Magnetic Compass
System to include calibration schedule and procedures.
b. Verify Fleet Support Team (FSTs) are trained in Magnetic Compass calibration requirements
and procedures.
c. Resource equipment and technical data required for aircraft Magnetic Compass calibration.
d. Resolve conflicts between this instruction, T/M/S MRCs, T/M/S aircraft maintenance
technical manual specifications, or other engineering directives related to Magnetic Compass
calibrations.
10.28.4.2 Activities Operating Naval Aircraft
a. Strictly comply with the Magnetic Compass calibration requirements and procedures of this
instruction and the applicable maintenance technical manuals.
b. Verify the training and skill level of personnel maintaining and calibrating aircraft Magnetic
Compass Systems. Training will be documented in the Personnel Qualification Standard (PQS) or
Advanced Skills Management (ASM) equivalent.
c. Verify Maintenance Control and QA personnel are trained and knowledgeable in magnetic
compass calibration requirements. Training will be documented in PQS or ASM equivalent.

(NATOPS) General Flight and Operating Instructions
10.32.2.1 The Aircraft Weight and Balance (W&B) Program directs procedures to verify aircraft
weight and center of gravity are within established limits.
10.32.2.2 The Automated Weight and Balance System (AWBS) is a software system that enables
computer-based record-keeping in lieu of using DD 365 series forms. The system facilitates the
digital storage and updating of aircraft weight data, which reduces mathematical errors and
legibility concerns. The AWBS Central Server enables transfer of aircraft weight and balance data
from one operational unit to another.
10.32.2.3 NAWC AD Mass Properties Engineering Branch is the engineering authority for naval
aircraft W&B.
10.32.2.4 NAVAIR 01-1B-50 defines the requirements, procedures, and responsibilities for weight
and balance control of naval aircraft, and is the authoritative source for determining when an
aircraft must be weighed, weighing procedures, and record keeping requirements. Section 8.2
provides W&B requirements specific to Navy and Marine Corps aircraft.
10.32.2.5 The Joint Technical Data Interface website contains specific TMS data (including some
weight and balance applications) for the C-130, MV-22 and H-60 at https://www.jtdi.mil.
10.32.2.6 DD 365 series manual forms are available for download in a fillable .pdf document from
the DOD Forms Management website (https://www.esd.whs.mil/Directives/forms/dd0001_0499/).
10.32.3.1 General
a. Navy and Marine Corps activities operating aircraft must comply with the aircraft W&B
procedures of this instruction and NAVAIR 01-1B-50.
b. The use of AWBS, including the AWBS Central Server, is mandatory for all USN and
USMC activities unless operational mission requires use of paper forms. Requests to deviate from
AWBS require prior approval from NAWC AD Mass Properties Engineering Branch. Activities
must maintain an electronic back-up of all AWBS data (on local computing systems) secondary to
the Central Server.
10-403
1 Feb 2021
c. A W&B Handbook must be produced within AWBS and maintained for each aircraft and
must be readily available to the pilot and other personnel responsible for accomplishing weight and
balance functions. Operational units should receive W&B handbooks for aircraft assigned to them
from either the previous unit or from the OEM at delivery or rework facility following maintenance
or service. The following W&B forms may be obtained from the Navy Data Distribution System
(NDDS) (https://ndds.navair.navy.mil/) or by contacting NAWC AD Mass Properties Engineering
Branch by email (weight&balance@navy.mil):
(1) T/M/S specific Charts A (for new production lots and block upgrades) and E.
(2) AWBS Auto Limits Files.
(3) Electronic Form F Generators (if applicable) and their associated user manual and
authorization letter.
10.32.3.2 Weight and Balance Personnel Designation and Training
a. Per NAVAIR 01-1B-50, Commanding Officers of activities operating aircraft must designate
the Maintenance Material Control Officer or equivalent as the Weight and Balance Officer.
Commands that deploy detachments must designate a Weight and Balance Officer for each
detachment. Additional qualified personnel may be designated as Weight and Balance Technicians,
if required to assist the Weight and Balance Officer in accomplishing program requirements.
Designation will be in writing or Advanced Skills Management (ASM). Depots will designate
W&B personnel via their SME list, if ASM has not been implemented.
b. Prior to designation, the Weight & Balance Officer and Weight and Balance Technicians
must successfully complete one of the following courses:
(1) Naval Aviation Maintenance Program Indoctrination course (C-4D-2012).
(2) Naval Aviation Maintenance Program Management course (C-4D-2013).
(3) Aircraft Weight and Balance course (C-516-0001).
10.32.3.3 Weight and Balance Officer Responsibilities
a. Upon assignment:
(1) Register for an NDDS account (https://ndds.navair.navy.mil), AWBS account

(https://awbs.hill.af.mil/), and verify access to the AWBS Central Server
(https://awbs.hill.af.mil/CentralUSN) or (https://awbs.hill.af.mil/CentralUSMC)
(2) Verify AWBS W&B Handbooks have all required forms, forms are current and in the
correct format per NAVAIR 01-1B-50, and the Basic Weight and Moment is accurate and complete
with all the modifications and TDs incorporated in each aircraft.
(3) Verify each aircraft has been weighed per the requirements of NAVAIR 01-1B-50.
10-404
1 Feb 2021
(4) If using standardized loading (formerly called “CANNED” or “multiple use” forms)
Forms F, review and certify all Forms F are accurate and reflect the current configuration of each
aircraft assigned, per NAVAIR 01-1B-50 requirements. In lieu of reprinting each Form F, newly
assigned W&B Officers may issue a letter containing a list of the BUNOs of the aircraft reviewed,
stating all Forms F have been reviewed and are accurate, and then printing and signing the Form Fs
at the next 180-day certification.
(5) Verify compliance with the W&B control procedures of COMNAVAIRFOR M-3710.7
Section 4.8.6.1.
(6) Verify Maintenance Control is reviewing W&B forms for currency prior to releasing
aircraft for flight, per 5.1.6.2. The signed Weight and Balance Clearance Form F serves as
certification that weight and balance flight clearance was properly accomplished.
(7) Perform an initial W&B Program audit, per 10.7.4.8.b.
b. Utilize AWBS for W&B records, as required per NAVAIR 01-1B-50.
c. Ensure aircraft are weighed whenever they meet the weighing requirements of NAVAIR 01-
1B-50.
d. As they occur, update the W&B records, forms, and charts of affected aircraft with the W&B
impacts caused by changes to aircraft configuration, such as incorporation of Technical Directives
(TD) or other modifications. Do not enter TD modifications as a single line “Net Change” on the
Chart C. The proper method is to:
(1) Enter a beginning header. Example: “Begin AYC-1577 – WHEEL SPEED

TRANSDUCER COUPLING.”
(2) Accomplish all Chart A additions and removals (with posting to Chart C “on”).
(3) Accomplish all Chart C additions and removals.
(4) Accomplish modifications to Chart E as indicated in the TD.
(5) Create a closing header. Example: “End AYC-1577 – WHEEL SPEED TRANSDUCER
COUPLING.”
NOTES: 1. If the weight and balance data of a TD is suspected to be in error, immediately

contact the Type Wing or MAW for resolution. If the Type Wing or MAW concurs
there is an error, they must notify NAWC AD Mass Properties Engineering Branch
via email (weight&balance@navy.mil) for concurrence and submit a Technical
Publication Deficiency Report (TPDR) (category dependent on the severity) via the
JDRS website (https://jdrs.mil) per 10.9 procedures. NAVAIR 01-1B-50 provides
additional guidance.
10-405
1 Feb 2021
2. NAWC AD Mass Properties Engineering Branch will determine when changes

to the basic aircraft configuration, either singular or cumulative, necessitate a
complete revision of Chart A or Chart E.
e. Ensure all W&B personnel are properly trained and designated by the appropriate authority.
f. Review, update, and sign all standardized loading Forms F at least once every 180 days.
g. If ABDR is performed, verify the weight and location of materials used in the repair did not
cause unacceptable aircraft W&B. An entry must be made in the Miscellaneous History section of
the aircraft logbook to document W&B Officer certification.
h. Review AWBS notifications and updates and take action as necessary.
i. Retain historical Chart A – Basic Weight Checklist Record (DD Form 365-1), Form B –
Aircraft Weighing Record (DD365-2), and Chart C – Basic Weight and Balance Record (DD Form
365-3) to enable authenticating current W&B data in AWBS. Compare new inventory with the last
completed inventory, and note any changes in the items or quantities of equipment installed in the
aircraft. Retain W&B records within the W&B handbook per NAVAIR 01-1B-50, section 8.2.5.
j. Maintain an electronic master back-up file of all AWBS data for each aircraft. Use of the
Central Server is the primary method for storage, upload, download, transfer, take ownership, and
back-up of AWBS files. The AWBS Central Server is divided into two servers; one for use by
USN activities and one for use by USMC activities. At this time, the Central Servers do not allow
for storage of Form F data. Since AWBS Central Servers do not store Form F data, activities
utilizing the standardized loadings (CANNED) Form F function must maintain a local, secondary
back-up of all Form F data on either external media or local server to prevent loss of data in case of
computer corruption or loss. If removable media (CD-ROM or other approved media) is used for
back-up, it must be labeled with the following: “AWBS Back-up”, aircraft BUNO, security
classification, and date the back-up was performed, per NAVAIR 01-1B-50.
k. Comply with the W&B inventory procedures of NAVAIR 01-1B-50 when accepting or
transferring physical custody of an aircraft (either permanent or temporary loan), and upon receipt
from off-site rework or modification.
NOTE: F-35 aircraft electronic inventory is an acceptable alternative to performing a visual

inventory of installed components.
10.32.4 Depot Activities
D-level activities, major flight test activities, and major overseas aviation rework establishments
must strictly comply with the depot procedures and responsibilities of NAVAIR 01-1B-50.

10.33 Fleet Engineering Disposition (FED) Procedures

10.33.1.1 The FED Program provides procedures for O-level, I-level, and D-level maintenance
activities, TYCOMs, and NAVAIR Fleet Support Teams (FST), to request and receive approval to
deviate from prescribed repair procedures, limits, and maintenance requirements. FEDs are used to:
a. Authorize a one-time deviation from maintenance procedures, on an individual activity and
individual repair basis.
b. Provide repair instructions to restore sufficient strength and service life to a damaged aircraft
to allow a one-time ferry flight to a repair facility.
NOTE: Completion of a FED procedure is not an authorization for a one-time ferry flight. A
one-time flight clearance from the ACC Aircraft Class Desk is still required.
c. Authorize one-time repairs to be performed by any repair activity that has the required
equipment, facilities, material, and certified personnel.
d. Provide airworthiness concurrence of PMI induction dates, still utilizing the Fixed Induction
Date (FID) extension process through OPNAV.
10.33.1.2 A FED request to conduct repairs beyond the allowable repair limits in the applicable
repair manual may be submitted if, in the activity’s estimation, the damaged component is
repairable on-site using existing equipment, facilities, material, and personnel.
10.33.1.3 Specific implementation of the FED Program varies depending on the platform. A FED
may be known by other names, such as a Fleet Support Module (FSM) in the FST Workload
Management System (WMS), Damage Engineering Disposition (DED) for FA-18 and EA-18G,
Technical Assist Request (TAR) for V-22, Fleet Technical Instruction (FTI) for H-60, Temporary
Engineering Instruction (TEI) for I-level and D-level activities.
NOTE: A FED will not be requested, issued or substituted for a Technical Directive (TD), an
Engineering Investigation (EI) response, an Interim Rapid Action Change (IRAC),
or Technical Publication Deficiency Report (TPDR).
10.33.2 Procedures
10.33.2.1 Submitting activity will:
a. Submit FED requests electronically using procedures specified by the cognizant NAVAIR
Fleet Support Team (FST) engineering authority.
b. Accomplish repairs performed per a FED deviation strictly in accordance with the
instructions provided by the FST.

tracking number provided by the FST. Activities that have converted to the Aircraft Component
Tracking System (ACTS) must also document FED repairs on components records loaded in
ACTS.
d. (O-level) Provide the Type Wing or MAG with a copy of the FED and notify them of the
outcome of the repair.
NOTE: I-level activities are not required to submit FED requests prior to declaring an item
Beyond Capability of Maintenance (BCM). I-level activities should submit a FED
request only if, in their estimation, the component is repairable on-site using existing
methods and capabilities.
10.33.2.2 FSTs:
a. Designate a point of contact to manage and support the FED Program.
b. Provide specific damage reporting instructions.
c. Acknowledge receipt of incoming FED requests and evaluate repair possibilities based on
the following criteria:
(1) Component criticality
(2) Severity and type of damage
(3) Strength requirements for repair
(4) Complexity of repair method
(5) Level of certifications for on-site repair personnel
(6) Facilities, equipment, and materials available on site.
d. Provide detailed repair or BCM disposition instructions. For O and I level repair
dispositions containing processes that require a D-level artisan, the FST engineering authority must
note these requirements and route through the cognizant D-level FRC QAS for approval prior to
releasing the FED disposition, per Chapter 7.
e. Provide instructions for any required entries within the respective component or aircraft
records (aircraft logbook, AESR, SRC, ASR, EHR, etc).
f. Assign unique tracking numbers to all FED requests at time of submission, and maintain
indefinitely. The FED tracking number will be provided to the requesting activity upon receipt of
the FED request.
g. If deemed warranted, update technical manuals to formalize and facilitate routine

10.34 Aeronautical Equipment Welder Certification

a. This NAMPSOP applies to all military, government civilian, and contractor personnel
performing welding on Navy aircraft structures, engines, components, and support equipment.
Refer to 12.2.3.3 for Depot FRC aeronautical welder special certification procedures.
b. This NAMPSOP reinforces the aeronautical welder qualification and certification processes
of NAVAIR 01-1A-34, which contains additional information and guidance relative to
qualification, certification, recertification, and employment of aeronautical welders. However, it is
a general series technical manual intended for use with the general aviation maintenance policies of
COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2 policy and the direction in specific maintenance, repair, overhaul
manuals, and engineering documents. In the event of conflicts in qualification, certification, and
recertification between this NAMPSOP and NAVAIR 01-1A-34, contact COMNAVAIRFOR N422
via email to namp_policy.fct@navy.mil.
a. All Navy and Marine Corps military, government civilian, and contractor personnel
performing aeronautical welding must meet the certification requirements of NAVAIR 01-1A-34
WP 005 001.
b. Aeronautical welders will only weld on equipment, components, and items manufactured
from the group(s) of metal(s) for which they are currently certified, and for the weld repairs
authorized by applicable technical publications or directives. Groups of metals that require separate
and distinct certification are specified in NAVAIR 01-1A-34. Separate certification is also required
for oxyfuel brazing process.
10.34.2.2 Certification. Initial certification, proficiency demonstration, and recertification of

welders must comply with the procedures of NAVAIR 01-1A-34 WP 005 01.
10.34.2.3 Certification Extension. A 90-day extension of the recertification due date may be
requested in cases where test welds have been submitted but results have not been received from the
evaluation facility. Submit requests by routine naval message to COMNAVAIRPAC SAN DIEGO
CA, attention N422. Extensions will not be approved if test plates have not been submitted. An
approved extension becomes invalid if a test plate fails evaluation.
NOTE: Poor monitoring and lack of timely action to meet the recertification due date is the
primary cause of having to submit a request to extend welding certification.
Recertification due dates will be listed in the monthly Maintenance Personnel Plan
per 10.1.5.3.e.

a. Full utilization of aircraft HMS data in the inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of aircraft
systems and components at all levels of maintenance.
b. Integration of HMS data into aviation engineering, logistics, and maintenance processes,
with the goal to optimize aircraft performance, improve aircraft and component reliability, and
reduce life cycle cost.
c. Monitoring the entire T/M/S aircraft inventory in order to establish standards by which the
performance of individual Bureau Number (BUNO) aircraft, Weapons Replaceable Assemblies
(WRA), and Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRA) can be assessed and substandard performance
identified.
d. Emphasis on aircraft systems critical to flight safety and mission accomplishment.
e. Defined procedures and responsibilities for substandard performing aircraft and components.
10.37.2.2 HMS record data on certain aircraft systems and components while installed and
operating in the aircraft. HMS produce Built In Test/Condition Indicator (BIT/CI) data in numeric
codes, such as the F/A-18 and EA-18 Automated Maintenance Environment (FAME) Maintenance
Status Panel codes, or as actual performance numbers, such as the vibration readings produced by
the H-60 Integrated Mechanical Diagnostic System/ Health and Usage Monitoring System
(IMDS/HUMS). Some HMS also produce trend reports, such as the FAME Maintenance Analysis
and Planning Aid (MAPA) BIT/CI Logic Inspection (BLIN) and BIT Operational Accumulative
(BOA) trend analysis reports. Table 1 lists Navy and Marine Corps aircraft with HMS.

10.37.4 Procedures
10.37.4.1 Organizational Level ATA
10.37.4.1.1 Activities operating aircraft must strictly adhere to the aircraft HMS utilization and
management procedures specified in T/M/S aircraft technical manuals and Wing instructions.
10.37.4.1.2 Maintenance Control must:
a. Review HMS BIT/CI data after return from each flight and issue Work Orders (WO) with
appropriate Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) code and Up/Down status whenever HMS
data indicates exceedance of acceptable performance parameters. A detailed description of the
malfunction and the associated HMS BIT/CI code(s) generated by the failure must be annotated in
the WO discrepancy block.
b. Maintain HMS BIT/CI data for the last 10 flights with each Aircraft Discrepancy Book
(ADB) and verify acceptable performance per technical manuals, NAVAIR, and Wing instructions
before certifying the aircraft safe for flight.
c. Prior to commencing a major scheduled maintenance event, coordinate with Quality
Assurance in reviewing Bureau Number (BUNO) HMS and the ATA Data Analysis Center reports
to determine if additional maintenance may be needed, for example, end-to-end inspection of a
particular wiring system due to recurring intermittent BIT/CI codes associated with components the
wiring system feeds. If the aircraft is scheduled for depot rework, the additional maintenance
actions will be noted on the Phased Depot Maintenance Special Work Request (OPNAV 4790/65)
per paragraph 5.1.10.a.
10-437
1 Feb 2021
d. Confer with the supporting Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) if test and check of
suspected substandard performing components is deemed necessary to fault isolate reasons for poor
aircraft reliability.
e. Include complete HMS BIT/CI trend data with the logs and records when aircraft are
transferred.
10.37.4.1.3 Quality Assurance must:
a. Compile and trend HMS BIT/CI data for the last 50 flights for each BUNO assigned.
b. At the end of each day’s flight operations, coordinate with Maintenance Control to review
HMS BIT/CI data for each aircraft flown, and add the data to the aircraft’s trend report. Analyze
HMS BIT/CI data for trends that indicate a possible degraded system or impending failure, and
confer with Maintenance Control on recommended actions.
c. Review ATA Support Team reports, HMS trend reports, and NALCOMIS reports (Chapter
14) for each BUNO to identify abnormally high aircraft system discrepancies. Analysis will focus
on indicators of degraded systems and possible causes, as indicated by factors such as:
(1) High rate of HMS BIT/CI fault code(s) per flight hour or per flight for a particular
system.
(2) High rate of ground and flight aborts (When Discovered Codes A and C).
(3) High number of maintenance man hours (MMH) for unscheduled repairs for a particular
system.
(4) Components with a high rate of Action Taken Code A with Malfunction Code 799 (no
defect).
d. Investigate reasons for low aircraft performance. If a low reliability component is suspected
to be causing high system failure rate, research maintenance history and check the ATA Support
Team reports to determine if the component’s serial number is identified as a substandard
performance. If so, confer with Maintenance Control for decision to remove the component and
turn it in for check and test, or to continue operating. If the item is removed, the first sentence in
the WO discrepancy block will state “WRA is listed as a substandard performer on ATA Report
(month and year of the report).” The WO discrepancy block will also provide a summary of any
performance anomalies during the time the component was installed in the aircraft, and the number
of flight hours and sorties flown prior to removal. HMS BIT/CI data produced during the time the
component was installed must be turned-in with the component.
e. Submit Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP)
Hazardous Material Reports (HMR), Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR), Technical
Publication Deficiency Reports (TPDR) per paragraph 10.9 for deficiencies in HMS components
and HMS technical manuals.
10.37.4.1.4 O-level maintenance technicians must:
a. Be knowledgeable of HMS BIT/CI codes applicable to their duties.
10-438

b. Strictly adhere to the T/M/S technical manual direction for use of HMS BIT/CI codes for
inspection, troubleshooting and repair.
10.37.4.2 Intermediate level ATA
10.37.4.2.1 Production Control must:
a. Direct AMSU to review the serial number of all components inducted for repair against the
current ATA Data Analysis Team report. If the serial number is listed as a substandard performer,
AMSU will notify PC. PC will direct AMSU to assign “QA Required” to the Maintenance Action
Form (MAF). AMSU will make a copy of the section of the ATA report applicable to the serial
number and include it in the component’s turn-in documentation.
b. Obtain and distribute current ATA Data Analysis Team reports to each work center
processing WRAs or SRAs covered in the report.
c. Apply Beyond Capability of Maintenance (BCM) code 8 (Administrative) to components
that are reported by Hazardous Material Report (HMR) as a suspected Bad Actor per 10.37.4.2.2.b.
d. Include ATA training and testing requirements in Production Control Job Qualification
Requirements (JQR).
10.37.4.2.2 QA must:
a. When a component is inducted that is identified as a substandard performer on the ATA Data
Analysis Team report, contact QA of the squadron that turned in the part to determine if HMS
BIT/CI data indicates a potential common fault or pattern of failure. If so, determine if additional
troubleshooting is needed to determine the root cause of the high failure rate, and confer with the
Work Center Supervisor on a plan for troubleshooting and testing the component. As necessary,
contact NATEC for assistance.
b. Submit a Hazardous Material Report (HMR) per 10.9.3.8 for components that continue to
test RFI, but are routinely identified as substandard performers after all I-level testing and repair
processes have failed to identify the root cause of unacceptable Mean Time Between Failure
(MTBF).
c. Submit reports to the responsible FST when deficiencies in Automated Test Equipment
(ATE) or Operational Test Program Set (OTPS) capabilities are suspected to be contributing to the
inability to detect failures in a substandard performing component. If the affected component is a
critical safety item, submit an HMR report.
d. Upon receipt of ATA Support Team reports, coordinate with the Supply Department to
review the serial numbers of shelf stock components to determine if a component identified as a
substandard performer is stocked. If so, review the repair history of the component. If the last
maintenance action on the component was depot rework, no action is required. If the component
was last repaired by another IMA, the component will be inducted for test and check per the
procedures of 10.37.4.2.1.a. If the IMA does not have test and check capability, QA will contact
the cognizant FST for direction to either issue the component or to remove the component from
service and submit an HMR.
10.37.4.2.3 I-level Maintenance technicians must:
10-439

10.39.2.1 This NAMPSOP applies to aviation gas turbine engines their accessories and
components, whether used for powering flight, providing auxiliary power, or for starting purposes
(airborne or ground units). Unless stated otherwise, the term “engine” used in this NAMPSOP
applies to gas turbine engines, engine modules, auxiliary power units (APU) and support equipment
gas turbine engines (SEGTE).
10.39.2.2 The Gas Turbine Engine Maintenance Program is based on three levels (degrees) of
repair. First-degree repair is the most in-depth level of repair, followed by second-degree, and
third-degree. Engine intermediate level (I-level) maintenance technical manuals have a
maintenance allocation table that defines specific engine maintenance actions determined largely by
degree of repair difficulty. The definitions in this paragraph are general descriptions associated
with the degrees of engine repair.
NOTE: Refer to engine technical manuals and maintenance allocation tables for the degree of
engine repair associated with specific engine inspection and repair functions.
a. First-Degree Repair. The repair of a damaged or non-operating gas turbine engine, its
accessories, or components to an acceptable operating condition when the repair includes
compressor rotor replacement or disassembly to the extent the compressor rotor could be removed.
Additionally, any repair beyond that authorized for a second-degree activity, but not to the extent
required to be performed at D-level, will be defined as a first-degree repair.
b. Second-Degree Repair. The repair of a damaged or non-operating gas turbine engine, its
accessories, or components to an acceptable operating condition. Second-degree repairs will
normally include: the repair or replacement of turbine rotors and combustion sections, including
afterburners; the replacement of externally damaged, deteriorated, or time limited components,
gearboxes, or accessories; and minor repairs to the compressor section. Further, the repair or
replacement of reduction gearboxes and torque shafts of turboshaft engines and compressor fans of
turbofan engines which are considered repairable within the limits of the applicable intermediate
maintenance technical manuals. These will be accomplished by second-degree repair activities.
10-443
1 Feb 2021
c. Third-Degree Repair. This repair encompasses major engine inspections and the same gas
turbine engine repair capability as second-degree except certain functions which require high
maintenance man-hours and are of a low incidence rate are excluded. Additionally, third degree
repair also include the acceptances, transfers, preservation and de-preservations of engines.
10.39.2.3 NAVAIR NOTE 4700 assigns a specific degree of support for engines to selected
Intermediate Maintenance Activities (IMA) and depot level (D-level) facilities. IMA engine repair
assignment is based primarily on the types of engines operated by squadrons assigned to their
station or operating from their ship. Selected IMAs are assigned to provide engine support for an
entire geographical location or the entire aircraft population when this action supports the goal of
repair with the least expenditure of material, manpower, and money. Engines not included in
NAVAIR NOTE 4700 are supported per the applicable Weapons System Planning Document
(WSPD).
NOTE: This NAMPSOP does not apply to Depot. For Depot refer to Chapter 12.

10.39.3.1 Logbooks and Records
Refer to Chapter 8 for procedures for maintaining engine Aeronautical Equipment Service Records
(AESR) and associated component records.
10.39.3.2 Engine Transfer and Shipment
10.39.3.2.1 Engines requiring I-level inspection, repair, or modification will be forwarded to the
supporting IMA, via the supporting supply activity. Associated hardcopy and CM ALS records will
be transferred with the engine per 8.2.11 procedures, along with the turn-in document.
NOTES: 1. When there is no local IMA, the activity transferring the engine must preserve
and prepare the engine for shipment prior to turn-in. The supporting supply
activity will contact the applicable engine TYCOM for direction on where to ship
the engine.
2. If the engine requires an engineering investigation (EI), it will be handled and
shipped per 10.9.4.
3. Engines can be damaged during shipment if all components that contribute to
their structural support are not installed. Engines must be shipped with all
structural support components in place.
10.39.3.2.2 All engines forwarded to other activities will have a full inventory of repairable and
non-repairable components, accessories, and appropriate reports. Additionally, all reportable
components will be accompanied by the appropriate reports. NRFI components and accessories
installed as a result of cannibalization will be clearly tagged and an appropriate AESR or CM ALS
AESR entry made (refer to Chapter 15 for engine cannibalization documentation). If directed by
the TYCOM to ship an incomplete engine, a copy of the DOD Single Line Item Release Receipt
Document (DD 1348-1) for each missing component must be placed in the AESR to indicate
shipment of retrograde (not applicable for CM ALS). In addition, the component retrograde
10-444
1 Feb 2021
document number will be entered in the Miscellaneous/History (OPNAV 4790/25A) record or CM

ALS AESR miscellaneous history record.
10.39.3.2.3 Engine shipment containers will be inspected and prepared per NAVAIR 15-01-500.
10.39.3.2.4 Aircraft engine transfers and receipts will be reported per NAVAIRINST 13700.15.
10.39.3.3 Supply Procedures
10.39.3.3.1 Due to their critical nature and high dollar value, several nonstandard procedures apply
to requisitioning aircraft engines. Most engines in work at the IMA are supply assets. Engines in
an awaiting parts status normally remain physically in the Power Plants Division due to the size of
the component. Parts ordered to support an Expeditious Repair (EXREP) engine repair will be
ordered using the priority associated with the requisitioning squadron’s Force Activity Designator
(FAD).
10.39.3.3.2 Parts and components identified as requiring replacement during engine pre-induction
screening (10.39.5.2) will not be placed on order unless the required repairs are verified against the
maintenance allocation chart of the applicable engine MIM, and the repair is within the activity's
assigned degree of repair per NAVAIR NOTE 4700.
10.39.3.3.3 Replacement parts and components must be stored in the area which provides the
highest degree of protection, preservation, and accountability.
10.39.3.3.4 Engine repair activities will develop a listing of Pre-Expended Bin (PEB) high usage
consumable material items required to support the degree of repair assigned. High usage items are
identified on the consumable material listing of the applicable engine maintenance technical
manuals. The list will be provided to the Supply Officer for PEB establishment per 6.5.8.
10.39.3.4 Power Plant Technical Manuals
10.39.3.4.1 Power plant technical manuals are presented in several different arrangements. The
engine inspection and repair method (installed or removed) usually indicates the major category
(01- Aircraft or 02 - Power Plant). Technical information required for engine inspection and repair
may be found in both of the major categories. Each engine T/M/S is unique in technical manual
format, and must be researched by degree of repair to ensure the correct technical manuals are used.
Refer to the NATEC website for particular engine T/M/S technical manuals. Examples of common
power plant technical manuals:
a. Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRC) consisting of complete engine repair requirements
cards (CERRC) and quick engine change assembly (QECA).
b. Maintenance Instruction Manual (MIM) in conventional and work package (WP) formats.
c. Sequence Control Cards (SCC).
10.39.3.4.2 Two groups of technical manuals are used for the control and performance of engine
repair: CERRC and accompanying CERR SCC with conventional MIM, and MIM WP with
accompanying CERR SCC. Each engine T/M/S may have one or the other. The following
paragraphs explain and describe the various technical manuals required for repair:
a. Engine Inspection MRCs.
10-445
1 Feb 2021
(1) Major. These inspections are accomplished using MRCs. These cards contain major
QECA maintenance requirements to inspect the engine for material degradation and perform
essential PM. The cards include the major engine requirements followed by a separate QEC section
for each aircraft application. An SCC is included to program accomplishment of the inspection in
proper sequence. Discrepancies discovered during inspection are corrected using instructions
contained in the applicable maintenance technical manuals. These cards are used to perform major
inspections on uninstalled engines.
(2) Phase. These inspections are accomplished using phase MRCs. These cards cover the
total system scheduled maintenance requirements divided into phases, which are performed at
specific intervals. All installed engine inspections and QEC components are included.
b. CERRCs
(1) CERRCs provide step-by-step procedures and instructions for engine disassembly to a
controlled depth. The depth of disassembly is equal to that which is authorized for designated third,
second, and first degree repair activities by NAVAIR NOTE 4700 and is consistent with the
provisioning of spare parts, tools, and SE for these activities. There are no repair procedures within
CERRC sets. For repair instructions consult the applicable engine MIM.
(2) The information in the CERRCs is based on the contents of the reference publications
and on conclusions reached during verification. Should the information in the card sets conflict
with the information in technical manuals with a later date, the most current information for the
specific task will be followed.
(3) In using the CERRC set, it is unnecessary to perform maximum disassembly each time
an engine is processed for repair. Perform disassembly only to the depth, which is required to
ensure the engine is RFI. When less than complete disassembly is required, use only the applicable
cards.
(4) Each card is identified by number for accountability purposes and to provide a means for
crediting work accomplishment. The CERRC set numbering sequence does not reflect the
sequence in which the work is to be accomplished. This is controlled by the associated CERR
SCC.
(5) Task cards that contain major engine inspection requirements are identified by an
asterisk (*) preceding the card title and the procedural steps within the cards. The affected task
cards are identified on the SCC by an asterisk preceding the card number. The requirements that
are preceded by an asterisk must be accomplished each time an engine is processed for first-degree
repair. When the items preceded by an asterisk have been accomplished, the engine is to be
considered zero time for inspection purposes.
(6) QA cards are included to emphasize the need for inspection during or after performance
of critical procedures. To ensure accomplishment of these requirements in their proper sequence,
review QA cards referenced on the task card before commencing the task.
c. CERR SCC. The CERR SCC is a graphic presentation that will sequence the
accomplishment of CERR (third, second, and first-degree) in a logical order. The CERR SCC is
oriented to actual work time and manpower usage. This element provides the only record of engine
10-446
1 Feb 2021
status during repair, including QA inspections. CERR SCCs are used with both the CERRC and
WP formats.
d. Work Package (WP). The procedures for the use of the WP format are identical to those
identified for CERRCs except the WP format contains instructions for disassembly, inspection,
repair, reassembly, and testing. In addition, it identifies SE and SE maintenance requirements.
e. Component repair technical manuals. These are accessory manuals containing I-level and D-
level procedures for check, test, inspection, and repair, and the associated Illustrated Parts
Breakdown (IPB) of engine components.
10.39.3.5 Modular Engines
10.39.3.5.1 Newer model engines are constructed in separate modules, for example, compressor,
combustion, turbine, afterburner, gearbox, torque meter, or combinations thereof to simplify the
repair and maintainability process. Modular engines are routinely inspected while installed in the
aircraft, and are removed only for cause, such as Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF), failure, and Maximum
Operating Time (MOT).
10.39.3.5.2 When a modular engine is removed, the same AESR screening and pre-induction
inspection process is performed as with other engines. Repair is accomplished by removal and
repair or replacement of the defective modules per the applicable CERRC and accompanying
CERR SCC or with conventional MIM or WP with accompanying CERR SCC.
10.39.3.5.3 Inspection requirements subsequent to or concurrent with engine repairs may vary.
Some modular engines, for example, F404 and T700, have engine MRC decks with accompanying
SCCs. Earlier designed modular engines, for example, T400 and T56, have the QECA MRCs with
accompanying SCC. Subsequent to or concurrent with repair, the inspection requirements outlined
in the applicable engine MRC and QECA MRCs will be performed.
10.39.3.6 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and Support Equipment Gas Turbine Engine (SEGTE)
10.39.3.6.1 APUs are repaired under the three-degree repair concept. Under this concept, each
APU I-level technical manual identifies specific maintenance actions as either first-, second-, or
third- degree functions. These functions are determined largely by degree of difficulty and
recurring frequency. Selected IMAs are assigned to provide a specific degree of support for
specific APUs and SEGTEs, per NAVAIR NOTE 4700.
10.39.3.6.2 APUs assigned a three-degree repair function will be maintained by the APU SEGTE
Shop (Work Center 412). Installed SEGTEs will undergo O-level remove and replace maintenance
plus preservation or de-preservation in the SE Gas Turbine Repair Shop (Work Center 91A).
10.39.3.6.3 APU and SEGTE inspections are accomplished per the applicable MRCs upon
expiration of the established interval. A major APU inspection is a comprehensive inspection
performed to determine the material condition of the APU. This inspection is often performed with
the APU removed from the enclosure, but may be accomplished on certain installed APUs using a
borescope or other inspection aids as directed in the MRCs. Major APU inspections are performed
by the supporting IMA, unless directed otherwise by the ACC. APU inspections are accomplished
during first degree repair. Therefore, APUs installed following first degree repair are zero timed for
inspection purposes. MRCs prepared to the latest specifications are aligned with the level of
10-447
1 Feb 2021
maintenance performing the inspections. All tasks performed by IMAs on installed APUs are in the
applicable T/M/S aircraft MRCs.
10.39.3.6.4 IMAs will ensure that tracked serialized components are accurately reflected in the CM
ALS and that all maintenance has been properly documented in CM maintenance task to correctly
update the ALS.
10.39.3.6.5 RFI APUs and SEGTEs received from supply must have AESRs or CM ALS AESRs
screened to determine which inspections, if any, have been performed and when the next inspection
is due.
10.39.3.6.6 APU and SEGTE documentation procedures. The enclosure is considered the end item
when work is performed on SEGTEs at an I-level activity (Work Center 91A). Therefore, APUs
and SEGTEs sent to Work Center 412 for inspection or repair must have a MAF turn-in document
initiated.
10.39.3.7 Technical Directives (TD)
TDs will be complied with as directed in 10.10. TD parts and kits designated for O-level
compliance will be obtained from the O-level activity that turned in the engine, if such parts and
kits were previously furnished, but not incorporated.
10.39.3.8 Gas Turbine Engine (GTE) Test Facilities
GTE test facilities will be operated and maintained per 10.23.
10.39.3.9 Preservation and Storage
10.39.3.9.1 I-level and D-level activities will preserve RFI and NRFI engines in their custody and
comply with all preservation periodic maintenance requirements and NA 15-01-500, Preservation
of Naval Aircraft, as applicable. This includes IMAs assigned caretaker status.
10.39.3.9.2 Replacement parts and components will be stored in the area which provides the
highest degree of corrosion prevention and preservation, per 10.13 and NAVAIR 15-01-500
procedures. Hydraulic components will be protected from contamination per 10.5 procedures.
10.39.3.10 Engine bearing maintenance, storage, and preservation
Engine bearings will be carefully handled and protected against the elements at all times to prevent
damage prior to installation. Refer to NA 01-1A-503, Maintenance of Aeronautical Antifriction
Bearings for requirements regarding engine bearing maintenance and handling.
10.39.3.11 Engine slings and stands
Engine slings and stands will have pre-operational inspections, NDI and PM completed at the
required intervals. Refer to NA 17-1-114 Series for engine sling maintenance requirements. For
engine stand maintenance requirements, refer to applicable MIMs.
10.39.3.12 Overhead cranes and hoists
Overhead cranes and hoists will have pre-operational inspections, load test and PM requirements
completed at the required intervals.

10.39.4 Intermediate Level Maintenance Activity (IMA) Procedures

10.39.4.1 Production Planning
10.39.4.1.1 Engine production goals will be established to maintain a sufficient quantity of RFI
engines, modules, and QECAs to meet operational readiness requirements. Selective management
of inductions, for example, repairs, inspections, and QECA buildups, is required to most effectively
meet production. The following information will be considered in planning inductions to meet
monthly production goals:
a. Historical demand - average monthly inductions for the following reasons:
(1) Repair.
(2) Inspection.
(3) Life limited component replacement.
(4) TD compliance.
(5) QECA buildup.
b. External demand:
(1) Forward deployment support.
(2) COMNAVAIRSYSCOM and ACC goals.
c. Cyclic demand - variations in inductions based on:
(1) Deployments.
(2) Operational commitments.
(3) Seasonal impacts.
10.39.4.1.2 Engines should be inducted into the repair cycle within 30 days of receipt, workload
permitting.
10.39.4.2 Pre-induction Screening
10.39.4.2.1 Figure 10.39-1 depicts the procedures for screening non-ready for issue (NRFI) engines,
APUs, and SEGTEs.
NOTE: Screening should be completed within 10 days of receipt.
10.39.4.2.2 AESR and CM ALS records will be screened per 8.2.11.2.
10.39.4.2.3 The maintenance allocation table of the applicable engine maintenance manual will be
reviewed to determine the maintenance level of the inspection or repair for which the engine was
turned in. If the inspection/repair is within the IMA’s assigned degree of repair, the engine will be
inducted and processed per 10.39.4.3.
10.39.4.2.4 If the required inspection or repair is not within the IMA’s capability, the engine will
be declared Beyond Capability of Maintenance (BCM), Action Taken Code 7 (BCM 7 – Beyond
Authorized Repair Depth) will be documented on the Maintenance Action Form (MAF), and the
10-449
1 Feb 2021
engine will be turned into the supporting supply activity for shipment to the designated repair
activity specified in NAVAIR NOTE 4700, or as directed by the TYCOM Engine Class Desk.
NOTE: Action Taken Code 8 (BCM 8 - Administrative) will be used if the required
inspection/repair is within the IMA’s capability but the TYCOM directs the engine
to be repaired by another facility.
10.39.4.2.5 The following categories of engine discrepancies are considered beyond I-level repair
(BCM-1, repair not authorized) and will be forwarded to designated depot per NAVAIR NOTE
4700:
a. Engines with excessive damage due to fires or subjected to firefighting chemicals internal to
the engine.
b. Crash damaged engines (after release by the safety board).
c. Engines subjected to extreme mishandling, such as being dropped.
d. Engines subjected to salt water immersion.
e. Engines exhibiting excessive or extensive corrosion.
f. Engines exhibiting massive oil contamination.
g. Engines recommended for removal by an oil analysis laboratory when the specific cause of
the impending failure cannot be positively determined and corrected.
h. Engines with total gas path FOD of an extremely destructive nature requiring extensive parts
replacement and high man-hour consumption.
i. Engines requiring Power Plant Changes (PPC) to parts that cannot be removed by the I-level.
j. Engines requiring life limited part(s) removal that cannot be removed by the I-level.
k. Engines turned in due to an Engineering Investigation (EI) will be shipped to the D-level
repair facility selected to perform the EI. Refer to 10.9 for EI exhibit handling and shipment
procedures.
10.39.4.3 Engine Inspection, Repair, and Testing
10.39.4.3.1 Engines inducted for inspection or repair will be inspected prior to disassembly, per the
procedures specified in applicable T/M/S engine manuals (10.39.3.4).
NOTES: 1. Pre-disassembly inspection normally includes oil filters, fuel filters, freedom of
rotation, external visual, and in some cases, borescope inspection.
2. If material condition of the engine permits, the engine should have a test cell run
to verify engine operating parameters prior to disassembly.
10.39.4.3.2 Engine inspection and repairs will be performed using the applicable CERRC or WP
manual and accompanying CERR SCC.
10.39.4.3.3 The next major engine inspection due will be performed on engines turned in for
repair, per the following criteria:
10-450
1 Feb 2021
a. All engine inspections will be accomplished during first-degree engine repair. Engines
installed following first-degree repair will be “zero timed” for inspection purposes.
b. Engines with major inspection intervals of 400 hours or more will have major inspections
performed if 25 percent or less of the interval remains until the next inspection.
c. Engines with major inspection intervals of less than 400 hours will have major inspections
performed if less than 100 hours remain until the next inspection.
NOTE: Life limited parts must have sufficient time remaining, as determined by TYCOM
and FST, to permit engine operation until the next scheduled major inspection.
10.39.4.3.4 Containerized engines that have been inducted due to being dropped or due to
container damage will be removed from the container and given a thorough visual QA inspection.
As a minimum, the inspection will include: Compressor and gas turbine area by bore scope or fiber
optic methods (when accessible); accessible compressor and turbine rotors to ensure free
movement; and seals or bearings for damage. If no physical damage is noted, the engine will
undergo a thorough test cell run (including a vibration test and JOAP sample) and be re-inspected
and certified by an IMA Power Plants QAR/CDQAR prior to installation in an aircraft.
10.39.4.3.5 Engines will be tested prior to being certified RFI.
10.39.4.3.6 A QAR or CDQAR will perform a FOD free inspection of all RFI engines prior to the
closing of the engine container.
10.39.5.1.1 COMNAVAIRSYSCOM (Type Model Program Product Support Manager) will
determine the degree of repair capability of each I-level and D-level engine facility. Due to the
high cost of establishing and supporting engine repair facilities, many factors must be taken into
consideration before approving new or additional capability. Among these are:
a. Equipment requirements.
b. Facility requirements.
c. Engine test facility requirements.
d. Personnel requirements and associated technical training.
e. Proximity of other facilities to provide like support.
f. Productivity and capacity.
10.39.5.1.2 Activities requesting to establish a new repair facility or add repair capability to an
existing facility must submit a letter (via the TYCOM) to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM (Type Model

CDI/CDQAR certification document and the CDI stamp number assigned by QA to
the activity’s SA for SMQ and electronic CDI stamp assignment. The activity’s SA
will add, via the Personnel Module, the stamp number to the front of the CDIs rate,
for example, 301PR1, 543AM2, 678AD2.
10.40.11 ALSS Configuration Management Auto Log-Set (CM ALS)
10.40.11.1 All ALSS items with an inspection requirement must have a task that covers the
inspection. If the inspection requirement is covered by an inspection task on a higher assembly,
then that higher task must be set to an Active/Pending status. All items that require removal due to
expiration or High-time that have a removal task must be set as Active/Pending. Examples include:
a. All ALSS items with recurring inspections within their Aircrew ALS will be covered by the
ALL FLIGHT GEAR inspection task (as required). Aircrew assigned ALSS that is not on cycle
with the ALL FLIGHT GEAR task but have O-level or I-level inspection requirements, will have
the specific equipment task Active/Pending (e.g., Dry Suits, CSEL Radio, etc.).
b. Non-Aircrew assigned ALSS that requires an inspection will have inspection and removal
tasks set to Active/Pending. If all of the components are installed in a higher assembly that can be
covered by one inspection task then that task is the only task required to be Active/Pending (e.g.,
180 Day ALL SAR EQUIPMENT).
c. ALSS subject to I-level inspection will have the Removal/Hi Time task set to Active/Pending
with the deadline date set no later than the Aircrew Equipment Record (AER) next scheduled
removal date annotated by the issuing IMA. The IMA Inspection task will be set to Active/Pending
with dates matching the AER next scheduled removal date annotated by the issuing IMA. ALSS
that have varied inspection cycles depending on application (e.g., aircraft installed life rafts and life
preservers) will have the appropriate cycle Active/Pending.
10.40.11.2 Task forced completion must be kept to a minimum. At no point should a task be
forced completed if the task cannot be verified with a physical copy of the WO/MAF or a review of
DECKPLATE. For consistency and control, only Maintenance Control or Production Control Logs

This section contains miscellaneous programs and processes not covered by a NAMPSOP.
Activities will implement applicable processes per this instruction and specific program related
instructions and maintenance technical manuals which are identified within the program text.
10.43.1 Explosives Handling Personnel Qualification and Certification Program
10.43.1.1 The purpose of the Explosive Handling Personnel Qualification and Certification
Program within the NAMP is to eliminate these mishaps by training maintenance personnel on the
dangers of aircraft installed egress and explosive systems. OPNAVINST 8020.14 and
OPNAVINST 8023.24 provide additional details.
NOTE: Improper handling, loading, processing, disposal, demilitarization, or testing of
explosive devices can cause injury to personnel, loss of life, and damage to aircraft
and equipment and loss of life, damage amounting to millions of dollars, and reduced
operational effectiveness.
10.43.1.2 All maintenance personnel handling explosive cartridges, CADs, pyrotechnics, and
PADs must be qualified and certified per OPNAVINST 8023.24 and MCO 8023.3, as applicable.
The CO must establish an Ordnance Certification Board to certify personnel that handle ordnance,
per OPNAVINST 8023.24.
10.43.2 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program
10.43.2.1 The UAS Program provides a unique application of reconnaissance and surveillance
through the use of recoverable and highly versatile airborne systems. UAS operate in varied
environments under the control of such diverse groups as infantry and special operation forces,
naval surface combatants, and aviation operating forces in support of target acquisition, strike
control, and battlefield awareness. UAS range in size from small individually operated air vehicles
to large multi-mission air vehicles which include ground control stations and launch and recovery
equipment.
10.43.2.2 To better identify and manage the UAS Program, the Joint Unmanned Aircraft Systems
(JUAS) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) separated systems into the following performance
groups based on weight, normal operation altitude, and airspeed:
Maximum Gross Take-off Weight Normal Operating Airspeed
(lbs) Altitude
Group 1 0-20 < 1200 < 100 Kts
Group 2 21-55 < 3500 < 250 Kts
Group 3 < 1320 < 18000 < 250 Kts
Group 4 > 1320 < 18000 Any speed
Group 5 > 1320 > 18000 Any speed
10.43.2.3 Upon acquisition of a UAS, COMNAVAIRSYSCOM formally assigns the UAS to a
specific group. UAS Groups 1 through 2 that operate with Commander, Naval Surface, Naval
Expeditionary Combat Command are not governed by the NAMP. UAS Groups 3 through 5 that
10-480
1 Feb 2021
operate with COMNAVAIRFOR are governed by the NAMP, per the following applicability
matrix:
Group 1 No NAMP Compliance
Group 2 No NAMP Compliance
Group 3 NAMP Compliant
NOTE: UAS have non-applicable NAMP processes due to being unmanned, such as ABO,
ALSS, and Egress Systems. Other processes may be applicable based on the
complexity of the air vehicle, control system, related support equipment, and
maintenance requirements.
10.43.3 Aircraft Maintenance Material Readiness List (AMMRL) Program
10.43.3.1 The AMMRL Program governs the administrative management and distribution of SE at
all levels of aircraft maintenance. AMMRL covers over 37,000 end items of aircraft maintenance
SE and OTPS elements used throughout the Navy and Marine Corps. AMMRL recognizes ship,
MALS, base, FRC, and Marine Aviation Logistics Support Program (MALSP) loading
combinations and the various requirements for numerous airframe configurations, power plants, and
avionics systems. AMMRL procedures for allowance and inventory control are defined in
NAVAIRINST 13650.1 and Support Equipment Controlling Authority (SECA) instructions.
10.43.3.2 All Navy and Marine Corps activities must review their Individual Material Readiness
List (IMRL) frequently, with emphasis on the evaluation of SE allowances to ensure they remain
consistent with their actual maintenance support requirements. Submit all reports concerning SE
inventory, SE transactions, and proposed changes to SE allowances, following NAVAIRINST
13650.1 and SECA instructions.
NOTE: For roles, responsibilities and training requirements refer to CNAP/CNAL 13650.3
series.
10.43.4 Joint Depot Maintenance Program

10.43.6 Naval Ordnance Management Policy (NOMP)

OPNAV M-8000.16 issues the policies, procedures, and responsibilities for activities supporting or
performing ordnance maintenance. The NOMP encompasses all Navy and Marine Corps activities
concerned with the use, maintenance, overhaul, production, and support of naval ordnance weapons
and associated equipment. In addition to specifying maintenance processes, OPNAV M-8000.16
addresses interactive programs including maintenance management, maintenance engineering, fleet
support, inventory management, asset and fiscal resources and associated reporting, and MIS. The
ordnance weapons and equipment addressed in OPNAV M-8000.16 include, but are not limited to,
air launched missiles, airborne ordnance, and ammunition, AWSE, AAS, UAS, targets, weapons
handling procedures, and the Airborne Weapons Performance Evaluation and Reporting Program.
10.43.7 Mobile Facility (MF) Program
10.43.7.1 Mobile Facilities (MF) are relocatable tactical shelters used onboard ship and ashore for
aviation weapon system maintenance and SE maintenance functions. MFs are also used for
aviation operational and tactical functions, such as aerial photographic processing, automated data
processing, and metrological functions. Transporting or shipping MF units require a NAVAL
Message five days prior to moving. Prior to installation, a site survey must be completed.
10.43.7.2 NAVAIR M-13670.1, Mobile Facilities Program Operations Manual, provides
management principles, definitions, policies, funding, organizational responsibilities, program
administration, and other pertinent information related to managing and maintaining MFs. MCO
13670.1, Management and Administration of United States Marine Corps Mobile Facility (MF)
Program and Related Equipment, contains the allowances for Marine Corps MF equipment items.
The Mobile Facility page on the Weapons System Planning Document (WSPD) contains the
allowance for Navy MFs.
10.43.7.3 Physical custodians must submit annual MF inventory reports per ACC, TYCOM, or
MARFOR direction, which will be consolidated and forwarded to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM per
NAVAIR M-13670.1.
10.43.7.4 Physical custodians must report all transfers and receipts of MFs and major related
equipment by naval message. MFs with inventory shortages will not be transferred without
approval of the responsible ACC, TYCOM, or MARFOR. NAVAIRINST 13670.1 provides
detailed instructions on receipt and transfer.
10.43.7.5 Activities will perform MF, Power Distribution Box (PDB), and Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) Acceptance/Transfer Inspections using the appropriate Acceptance/Transfer Checklist
(Figures 10.43-1 and 10.43-2). MF ancillary equipment will utilize the SE Acceptance/Transfer
Inspection Checklist (Figures 10.17-1 page 1 and 2).
10.43.7.6 Refer to 8.5.18 for direction on MF records.
10.43.8 Depot Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) Customer Liaison Program
10.43.8.1 The Depot FRC Customer Service Program provides depot-level support for aeronautical
material and equipment. Customer service required for other than aviation work will be
accomplished if funds are provided to cover the cost of the service and manpower is available
without jeopardizing accomplishment of aviation workload.
10-482
1 Feb 2021
10.43.8.2 Depot FRC customer service is intended to supplement, not replace, existing supply and
I-level support. Requests for depot customer service must be limited to services not involving
repairs or services within the capability of the requesting IMA. Customer service assistance will be
requested through the use of a Work Request Customer Service (OPNAV 4790/36A) (Figure 10.43-
3). Requests must include certification that the required service is beyond the capability of the
IMA, and a replacement part cannot be readily obtained.
10.43.8.3 Available depot services:
a. Correction of specific discrepancies or replacement of minor malfunctioning parts requiring
special tools, test equipment, or facilities not available at the IMA.
b. Plating, magnetic particle inspection, heat treatment, and machinist services.
c. Chemical, physical, and metallurgical laboratory testing.
d. Check and test of equipment and components.
e. Engineering and consultation services.
NOTE: Material processed under customer service will not be repaired beyond the depth
stated on the work request or that necessary to return the component to RFI
condition.
10.43.8.4 Materials beyond the repair capability of the IMA, including the manufacture of parts,
must be referred to the ASD for further action. ASD must determine the system availability for
NMCS, PMCS, and work stoppage items prior to submitting requests for FRC customer service. If
it is determined customer service support is required, the ASD must notify the IMA to prepare a
Work Request Customer Service (OPNAV 4790/36A) (Figure 10.43-3) describing the specific
work to be accomplished. ASD is responsible for transportation of customer service work to the
supporting Depot FRC.
10.43.8.5 Aircraft components and equipment requiring extensive repairs or overhaul will not
normally be processed by Depot FRC customer service. However, when situations warrant, and the
item on which customer service is requested is not on the BO-8, or Hi-Burner,
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Sustainment HQ in coordination with the cognizant Type Wing, may
authorize customer service on these items to preclude NMCS, PMCS, or work stoppage conditions.
10.43.9 Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Program
10.43.9.1 RCM is a disciplined logic which establishes required failure management strategies, for
example, periodic maintenance tasks, to enable equipment to perform with a specific probability of
success at the lowest possible total expenditure of resources for system operation and support over
the life cycle. RCM is a continuous process, with initial periodic maintenance tasks being possibly
refined through application of age exploration (AE). AE collects information reflecting actual
operating experience. Data collected through AE, such as using threshold and opportunity-
sampling programs, is used to refine the engine RCM Program. Responsibilities:
10.43.9.2 COMNAVAIRSYSCOM has directed the application of RCM to all in-service and future
aircraft, engines, aircrew systems, weapon systems, aircraft launch and recovery equipment, and
10-483
1 Feb 2021
SE, from technology development through disposal, per NAVAIR 00-25-403 and NAVAIRINST
4790.20.
10.43.9.3 COMNAVAIRSYSCOM (Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers, Fleet Support Team
Maintenance Department) will use RCM to identify failure management strategies to enable
equipment to perform with a specific probability of success at the lowest possible total expenditure
of resources for system operation and support over the entire life cycle. These failure management
strategies include scheduled inspections to determine if the equipment is, and will remain in,
satisfactory condition until the next scheduled inspection; scheduled removal of items which will
exceed life limits; failure finding, or operational checks; and engineering designed servicing and
lubrication tasks. It is critical that accurate fleet operational and failure data is documented in naval
maintenance management systems in order for RCM to identify, refine, safe operational and
economical effective failure management strategies.
10.43.10 Service Life Management Programs
10.43.10.1 Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) Program
The ASPA Program applies to only a small number of airframes that have not been converted to
Integrated Maintenance Concept/Program (IMC/P), Phased Depot Maintenance (PDM), or
Enhanced Phase Maintenance (EPM). Refer to OPNAVINST 3110.11 for procedures.
10.43.10.2 Conversion In Lieu Of Procurement (CILOP) Program
The primary purpose of CILOP is to provide an alternative to procurement of new aircraft. CILOP
includes aircraft conversion, service life extension, update, expansion or change of mission
capability, and improvement of combat capability. OPNAVINST 3110.11 contains additional
details.
10.43.10.3 Modification, Corrosion and Paint Program (MCAPP)
MCAPP includes incorporation of D-level technical directives, inspection of aircraft for corrosion
damage and repair as required, and evaluation of the material condition of the aircraft paint system.
Other repairs will be made when beyond the capability of O-level or I-level maintenance or when
safety of flight is a consideration. MCAPP is sponsored by CNO (N980L).
10.43.10.4 Reclamation in Lieu of Procurement (RILOP) Program
RILOP is the removal of installed equipment from a stricken or damaged aircraft or engine prior to
disposal. Equipment to be removed is determined by the NAVSUP WSS master save list. Chapter
6 provides additional information. CM ALS tracked items will have an entry made stating
“Removed for RILOP”, before the item and its CM ALS are transferred to the designated site.
10.43.10.5 Service Life Extension Program (SLEP)
SLEP is the restoration or replacement of primary aircraft structures that have reached fatigue life
limits. SLEP is performed for the express purpose of establishing an extended service life beyond
the original design. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM determines the duration of the service life extension
resulting from the accomplishment of SLEP. OPNAVINST 3110.11 contains additional details.
10.43.10.6 Structural Appraisal of Fatigue Effects (SAFE) Program
10-484
1 Feb 2021
SAFE provides for accurate fatigue life tracking of individual aircraft component service life limits
specified as fatigue indexes rather than flight hour limits. Tracking fatigue indexes is predicated on
the submission of flight loads, launch, and landing data per NAVAIRINST 13920.1. SAFE
facilitates the use of time compliances for component modification, rework, and replacement to
accommodate individual aircraft usage rates and eliminate schedule inflexibility or conservatism
associated with specifying life limits in terms of flight hours. Consequently, a more accurate
analysis of fleet aircraft results in better planning and timely induction for structural rework. SAFE
Program Reports are published quarterly by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM (Naval Air Warfare Center
Aircraft Division, Air Vehicle Engineering Department) and are available on the MyTeam
SharePointe SAFE website at https://myteam.navair.navy.mil/AIR/SAFE/SitePages/Home.aspx.
10.43.10.7 Structural Life Limits Program
10.43.10.7.1 The Structural Life Limits Program assures continuing structural safety of aircraft
throughout their assigned service life. This program also provides a means for documenting basic
life limitations, for example, maximum flight hours, catapults, arrestments and landings, which
must be properly managed to ensure safety and structural integrity throughout the service life of
each T/M/S aircraft.
10.43.10.7.2 All levels of maintenance are responsible for ensuring structural life limited items and
components do not exceed the specified limits per NAVAIRINST 13120.1 (fixed wing aircraft) and
NAVAIRINST 13130.1 (rotary wing aircraft). General responsibilities and procedures are
summarized as follows:
a. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM will:
(1) Develop technical and engineering solutions, determine life limits and publish them via
NAVAIRINST 13120.1 and NAVAIRINST 13130.1. They will also ensure the publication and
distribution of quarterly SAFE Program reports.
(2) Ensure FSTs incorporate limits into applicable PMIC decks and provide logistics
resources planning to preclude reaching any structural life limits
(3) Ensure Depot FRCs, FSTs and commercial rework facilities review records for all D-
level life-limited items requiring replacement during the next operating period.
(4) Ensure structural fatigue life expenditure status is incorporated into planning for D-level
modifications in order to preclude reaching structural life limits.
(5) Issue structural modifications or alteration of life limited items and components
via Technical Directive (TD).
b. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Baseline Managers must ensure proper inventory class and
subclass is assigned to each life-limited component, as provided in the Baseline Data Management
Plan and incorporate current limitations, as listed in the applicable directives in the preceding
paragraphs, for all life-limited components.
c. Aircraft Controlling Custodians (ACC) will:
10-485
1 Feb 2021
(1) Ensure reporting custodians adhere to limits published in NAVAIRINST

13120.1, NAVAIRINST 13130.1, SAFE Program reports, applicable PMICs, TDs, and
IRACs.
(2) Plan and coordinate aircraft D-level modification schedules to preclude
exceeding structural life limits.
d. Aircraft reporting custodians must:
(1) Adhere to limits published in NAVAIRINST 13120.1, NAVAIRINST 13130.1,
SAFE Program reports, applicable PMIC, and TDs.
NOTE: Aircraft will not be permitted to exceed specified structural life limits without prior
approval from the responsible COMNAVAIRSYSCOM FST. Approval must be
requested via the chain of command.
(2) Incorporate all current limitations on structural life limits into aircraft logbooks
(3) Submit flight loads, launch, and landing data as required by NAVAIRINST
13920.1, and monitor actual aircraft usage to preclude exceeding any structural life limits.
10.43.10.8 Phased Depot Maintenance (PDM) Program
PDM replaces ASPA inspections and Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) in order to
decrease periods of unavailability due to depot rework. PDM divides an aircraft’s total Standard
Rework requirements into phases based on fixed Operating Service Periods (OSP), expressed in
months tailored to the depot maintenance requirements for each T/M/S aircraft. Upon reaching its
Fixed Induction Date (FID), the aircraft is inducted into scheduled PDM event. Several titles are
used to denote PDM events: F/A-18 aircraft PDM events are called Planned Maintenance Intervals
(PMI) events; H-60 aircraft PDM events are called Integrated Maintenance Concept (IMC) events.
OPNAVINST 3110.11 contains additional details in OSP and FID.
10.43.10.9 Integrated Maintenance Concept (IMC) Program
IMC replaces ASPA inspections, Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM), and the
Modification, Corrosion and Paint Program (MCAPP) for certain T/M/S aircraft in order to
decrease periods of unavailability due to depot rework. IMC emphasizes a Fixed Induction Date
(FID) and may segregate the Operational Service Period (OSP) into smaller periods called Planned
Operational Interval (POI) or Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI). The goal is to ensure that the
appropriate level of maintenance performs these tasks at the right location and interval that will
produce the highest degree of aircraft availability and readiness at the lowest overall life cycle cost.
NAVAIRINST 4790.33 provides direction on the transition of aircraft to IMC.
10.43.10.10 Material Condition Inspection (MCI)
MCI replaces ASPA and SDLM for a specific T/M/S aircraft that have been designated by OPNAV
N980L as nearing the end of their service life. These aircraft are no longer funded for standard
rework. The purpose of MCI is not a PED adjustment, but to ensure airworthiness for an additional
operational flying period specified by OPNAV. Upon review and recommendation by the
NAVAIR-managed Airframes Management Board, a PED-based standard MCI plan for the
10-486
1 Feb 2021
designated T/M/S non-funded aircraft to ensure appropriate maintenance or upkeep is sustained

until the end of their service life.
10.43.10.11 Life Limited Repair (LLR) Program
The LLR Program uses naval messages to identify certain aircraft (by BUNO) and components
having life limits that require reoccurring inspections not listed in Service Life Bulletins (SLB) or
Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRC), or due to the lack of structural maintenance technical
manuals. Every structure discrepancy requires engineering analysis and disposition, which in some
cases results in a life limiting message. OOMA baseline managers are authorized to use LLR naval
messages to authorize initiation of reoccurring inspections in OOMA.
10.43.10.12 Enhanced Phase Maintenance (EPM) Program
The EPM program directs the performance of standard depot maintenance at fleet facilities. Under
EPM, a depot field team (with O-level assistance) performs inspections and repairs during periodic
phase inspections. Structural and systems tasks are performed at RCM justified intervals and
comply with all issued TDs. EPM identifies and corrects material deficiencies allowing aircraft to
be maintained at the O-level with assurance of a high level of availability. EPM is performed per
NAVAIRINST 4790.33.
10.43.11 Vibration Analysis
10.43.11.1 Vibration analysis detects faults and degradation in aircraft, dynamic components, and
engines by the analysis of trends in vibration characteristics. The objectives are to reduce vibration
related material failures, reduce crew fatigue, and improve safety, reliability, and readiness.
10.43.11.2 O-level activities are responsible for performing vibration analysis for aircraft, engines,
and dynamic components. O-level is required to perform vibration analysis and troubleshooting
with applicable maintenance technical manuals. Vibration analysis results must be recorded and
trended.
10.43.11.3 I-level and D-level maintenance activities are responsible for performing vibration
testing on aircraft engines and dynamic components undergoing repair, as directed in the applicable
engine/dynamic component I-level and D-level technical manuals.
10.43.11.4 Personnel performing vibration analysis must be trained and qualified in vibration
testing procedures and limitations specified in applicable T/M/S aircraft, engine and dynamic
component technical manuals.
10.43.12 Planner and Estimator (P&E) Services
10.43.12.1 P&E services provide Depot FRC support for aircraft damaged or deteriorated beyond
the capability of O-level and I-level maintenance to restore the aircraft to service.
10.43.12.2 Type Wings and Marine Air Groups will coordinate and monitor P&E services requests
from subordinate commands. Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific (FRCWP) Atsugi Japan is
responsible for providing P&E support to Navy and Marine Corps forces permanently sited in or
deployed to Pacific Command, European Command, and Central Command areas of responsibility.
10.43.12.3 Prior to submission of a P&E services request for aircraft repairs, the aircraft custodian
must obtain concurrence from the supporting I-level and Wing that D-level assistance is required.
10-487
1 Feb 2021
Requests will be submitted via the JDRS Web site (https://jdrs.mil) with copies of all supporting
documents. Naval messages will be used to request P&E services for repairs only if JDRS
connectivity is not available. A unique Report Control Number (RCN) must be used for each P&E
request and will be documented in the RCN log per 10.9.3.2. Depot activities must acknowledge
P&E Requests within 1 working day of submission. If a P&E request is not received via JDRS, the
depot must enter the request in JDRS.
NOTES: 1. Depot repairs in excess of 250 hours require TYCOM Class Desk approval.
2. Requests for P&E services to perform an ASPA or MCI must be submitted by
naval message. I-level concurrence is not required.
10.43.12.4 To assist P&E services, the aircraft custodian will:
a. Prepare the aircraft for maintenance per applicable maintenance technical manuals.
b. Remove spare and loose gear.
c. If required, preserve the aircraft per applicable technical publications.
d. Report aircraft status changes per Chapter 9.
e. Provide appropriate assistance to the P&E inspector and D-level repair team to expedite
repair or restoration of damaged or defective aircraft.
f. Remove all classified equipment.
g. Update the JDRS P&E Preliminary Damage Aircraft Condition Disposition (DACD) tool
with required part/material (requisition number, requisition status, and date received) fields as
annotated by the DMA activity.
h. Send a JDRS Technical Dialog to the servicing depot activity when all parts or materials
have been annotated “received” within the JDRS P&E Preliminary DACD tool.
i. Retain physical custody of aircraft safety, security, reporting, and maintenance.
j. Provide, connect, and service ground equipment. Accomplish positioning, jacking, or
servicing of the aircraft. Remove and reinstall aircraft parts and components within O-level
capability or level of maintenance for access to accomplish the D-level repair.
k. Perform operational test/leakage checks.
l. Prepare the aircraft for flight and accomplish a post maintenance check flight (if required).
m. If depot induction is required, deliver up-to-date engine logbooks and associated records
with the aircraft.
10.43.13 Recovery and Reclamation of Crash Damaged Aircraft
NOTE: Refer to OPNAVINST 3750.6 for general procedures for recovery, reclamation, and
transfer of crash damaged aircraft.
10.43.13.1 When an aircraft crashes within the land area of a naval district in CONUS and the
reporting custodian requests recovery assistance from the cognizant Type Wing or CGMAW, the
nearest Navy or Marine Corps air station, facility, or activity designated by the cognizant Type
10-488
1 Feb 2021
Wing or CGMAW is responsible for recovering the damaged aircraft. The reporting custodian will
provide officers and enlisted personnel to assist in the recovery, if requested.
10.43.13.2 When an aircraft crashes outside CONUS, the reporting custodian notifies
COMFAIRFORWARD (USN aircraft) or CGMAW (USMC aircraft), who will:
a. Make the necessary arrangements for disposition and reclamation of the aircraft.
b. Arrange for qualified personnel to determine the suitability of aircraft damaged outside
CONUS for repair, rework, or other disposition. If possible, the crash-damaged aircraft should be
inspected at the scene of the mishap by a Depot Planner & Estimator (P&E).
c. Designate the station, facility, or unit to recover and accept physical custody of the aircraft.
10.43.13.3 Disposition and salvage procedures for stricken aircraft:
a. When a crash-damaged aircraft is determined to be beyond rework, the aircraft must be
reported as a category one strike, per Chapter 9. In this case, the aircraft may be transferred to the
nearest CONUS naval air activity for return to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM FS custody and final
disposition.
b. When it is impractical to return the aircraft to COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Fleet Support (FS)
custody, the reporting custodian must physically transport the aircraft to the supporting supply
activity designated by the ACC or TYCOM. The supporting activity Supply Officer will provide
the Master Salvage List (MSL) and process the aircraft per Stricken Aircraft Reclamation and
Disposal Program (SARDIP), Chapter 6. Requests for stricken aircraft components will be directed
to the CO of the salvaging activity, marked "Attention Supply Officer."
c. Hardcopy logs and records forms and Configuration Management Auto Log Set (CM ALS)
records for stricken aircraft, components, and assemblies will be processed per Chapter 8.
d. After reclamation, the aircraft, engine or equipment carcass will be reported to
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM, who will respond within 90 days with final disposition instructions.
10.43.14 Management Information Systems (MIS)
10.43.14.1 Configuration Management Information System (CMIS). CMIS is an automated
system for tracking the composition, location, and operating time/cycle counts of life limited
aircraft and engine components. The CMIS Component Tracking System for Aircraft is used to
develop schedules for inspections, replacement procurements, and forced removal actions for
aircraft components based on usage requirements and fixed or variable operating time/cycle counts
or limits. The CMIS Component Tracking System for Engines is used to develop long range
schedules for inspections, removals, replacements, procurements, and rework schedules for aircraft
engines, propulsion systems, modules, and related life limited components, based on usage
requirements and fixed or variable usage rates. Using usage rates derived from CMIS experiments
and tests, workloads for maintenance and rework facilities can be forecast for 5 years. In addition,
long range requirements for new and newly reworked components can be developed. The FST, or
in some cases the APML, is responsible for maintaining and updating the CMIS database. The
cognizant T/M/S aircraft FST can provide management information on the following rotary wing
aircraft: H-1, H-53, and H-60, and the following engines: J85, T700, TF34, J52, T64, T76, T58,
T56, and T400. The CMIS database can supply reports which specify the time/cycle counts or
10-489
1 Feb 2021
LUIs remaining on each tracked component before it must be inspected or removed and replaced.
Fleet units and others may obtain CMIS information directly. For further information concerning
development of this direct data access capability, contact COMNAVAIRSYSCOM (COMFRC
Digital Department). For some activities, CMIS has been replaced by the Aircraft Component
Tracking System (ACTS) as the authoritative source for the tracking of life limited components.
ACTS provides all historical information on a component, no longer requiring extensive manpower
or time for reconstruction.
10.43.14.2 Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation
(DECKPLATE). DECKPLATE tracks location and status (installed, uninstalled, RFI, and non-
RFI) of engines, propulsion systems, and modules world-wide, and provides reasons for any
changes. DECKPLATE also tracks both RFI and non-RFI spare engines, propulsion systems, and
modules which are in transit, awaiting repair or rework, or actually in repair or rework.
DECKPLATE is used extensively by controlling custodians and other managers to make decisions
on the most efficient distribution of engine assets. Refer to NAVAIRINST 13700.15 and ACC
instructions for detailed procedures.
10.43.14.3 The NAVAIR Depot Maintenance System (NDMS) is a production control system used
by depot Fleet Readiness Centers to schedule, induct, and control D-level workload. The Depot
Maintenance Data System (DMDS) is a module of the NDMS and is designed to gather all basic
information generated by maintenance personnel through documentation procedures, data
automation and storage techniques, and common data retrieval routines. Information for DMDS
will be gathered from mechanics, technicians, inspectors, and supervisory personnel in all of the
basic organic D-level endeavors.
10.43.14.4 The Flight Information Recording and Monitoring System monitors and records data
critical to the determination of the life limits of aircraft and engine components. The data is
collected in the aircraft’s Maintenance Signal Data Recording System and is downloaded to a
ground station for diagnostics and to update life usage indexes. When coupled with MAFs, WOs,
NAVFLIRS, and Naval Flight Documents, this non-tactical data provides a database for detailed
analysis of engine performance, engine life limited items, material usage and life remaining, and in-
flight airframe structural loading. Additionally, the data can be used in support of the SAFE
Program.
10.43.14.5 Support Equipment Resource Management Information System (SERMIS) is a
collection of technical and catalog data identifying SE end items required for O-level, I-level, and
D-level aircraft maintenance. SERMIS provides visibility of source, allowance, inventory, and
rework data to aid in inventory control, and is the repository of master data for printing IMRLs.
10.43.14.6 Support Equipment Standardization System (SESS) is a computer based asset control
system for SE.
10.43.14.7 Local Asset Management System (LAMS) is an automated management information
system that provides standardized data for local management of IMRL assets.
10.43.14.8 Master Component Rework Control System is a system to provide a consolidated,
comprehensive on-line catalog of component and SE stock numbers, designated overhaul point
assignment and capability data, production history, and financial performance and obligation data.

10.43.14.9 Metrology Automated System for Uniform Recall and Reporting (MEASURE) is a
system for the recall and reporting of test equipment by means of automatic data processing
techniques. MEASURE maintains records of calibration and automatically recalls test equipment
when due for calibration.
10.43.14.10 Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS).
Refer to Chapter 13 for information on NALCOMIS.
10.43.14.11 Naval Aviation Logistics Data Analysis (NALDA) is the Navy's major logistics
information system used in support of the COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Life Cycle Logistics System.
NALDA provides remote hardware, telecommunications, central computing, and a database
management system for fleet support operations.
10.43.15 Management of Permitted Radioactive Commodities on Naval Aircraft
Some naval aircraft contain radioactive materials that, if not properly controlled, handled, stored, or
disposed of, increase the probability of injury to personnel resulting from exposure.
COMNAVAIRFOR, NAVSUP WSS, and COMNAVAIRSYSCOM are responsible for proper
acquisition, storage, transport, control, inventory and disposal of naval aircraft systems containing
radioactive materials or by-products under special license or permit from the Navy Master Material
License issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As such, those activities must establish
specific management and accountability programs per OPNAVINST 6470.3, NAVSUPINST
4000.34, MCO 5104.3, NAVSEA A0420-AA-RAD-10, and NAVAIRINST 5104.2.

CHAPTER 11
Contract Maintenance,
Commercial Derivative Aircraft Maintenance Programs,
and Common Support Policies
11.1 Contract Maintenance
To provide standards for planning, management, and government oversight of contract maintenance
programs on Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, aircraft engines, and aviation related equipment.
11.1.2 Background
a. Contract maintenance operations include unique considerations and varying requirements.

Contract maintenance may be used as an alternative to military maintenance, to provide interim
shore-based maintenance pending development of organic capabilities, or to accommodate peak
workloads of a temporary or permanent nature when it is determined to be in the best interest of the
government. When a decision has been made to explore contract maintenance or flight operation in
Navy and Marine Corps owned, leased aircraft, or Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated (COCO)
aircraft, the scope of the contract must be considered. Contract support may include “O”, “I”, and
D-level maintenance, provide supply support, or may be a mix between NAMP processes and
industry standards. Combining NAMP and industry standards can introduce unique challenges for
program management personnel. Contract requirements may call for contractors to work side-by-
side with military or government employees in support of Navy and Marine Corps aviation units.
Some contracts include the requirement to fulfil squadron and wing management responsibilities,
such as AMO, MMCO, Maintenance Control, and Work Center Supervisor, while other contracts
limit contractor involvement solely to the performance of maintenance.
b. While the DOD can leverage FAA processes and standards for commercial derivative aircraft
(CDA), the DON, and not the FAA, is ultimately responsible for the airworthiness of DON aircraft.
This means that the NAVAIR Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE Office sets the airworthiness and
continued airworthiness standards governing the maintenance, operations, and sustainment of CDA
aircraft. Once established, the contractor must follow procedures agreed upon by all parties involved.
c. Work performed by contractors on DON aircraft is governed exclusively by the content of the
contract. Ultimately, this means the standards and enforcement of contract maintenance are not
dictated by the NAMP, other DON policy, or by the FAA; they are strictly governed by the contents
of the contract. This is why identifying the standards and getting the contract language correct up
front is imperative.
11.1.3 Scope
a. Consider contract maintenance when it is economically advantageous to the government and

when candidate systems or equipment meet the following criteria:

(1) Procurement of contractor services will not disrupt or materially delay combat
effectiveness.
(2) A satisfactory commercial source is available.
(3) When performance metrics can be established to evaluate the contractor’s performance.
(4) When directed by higher authority or when in support of an Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) A-76 cost study.
(5) When the aircraft (CDA or COCO) is maintained to FAA standards.
b. Guidelines for planning, developing, and administering contracts are provided by FAR 42.202
and 42.302. This chapter provides specific amplifying maintenance management policy and contract
planning requirements for Navy and Marine Corps aviation activities.
c. The Ground and Flight Risk Clause (GFRC) (DFARS 252.228-7001) mandates incorporation
of NAVAIRINST 3710.1 (also referred to as DCMA INST 8210.1) requirements in all contracts
involving DOD aircraft for which the government assumes some of the financial risk of aircraft loss
or damage. NAVAIRINST 3710.1 guidance acts as risk mitigation by providing uniform DOD
policy for aircraft ground and flight operations and the maintenance of aircraft and associated
equipment.
NOTE: If a conflict occurs between sources of guidance, the contract has precedence over
Navy guidance.
d. In the initial planning for a contract maintenance program, careful attention must be given to
the legal and contractual aspects of the procurement or service. Comprehensive understanding of the
applicable instructions, standards, performance requirements, and early coordination with the
appropriate procurement office, program office, Weapon System Manager (WSM), contracting
specialists, and the Office of the General Council for the command is essential. Local commands are
not authorized to procure contractor services unless approval is received via the chain of command.
e. Government personnel administering contracts and providing contract maintenance oversight
must understand their responsibility, limits of authority, and relationship with contractor personnel.
Failure to do so can put the government at risk and can lead to “constructive changes” to the contract.
f. Navy and Marine Corps personnel involved in the development and administration of contracts
must attend the appropriate training courses prior to assuming responsibilities in support of the
contract. Government Flight Representative (GFR)/Ground Government Flight Representative
(GGFR) training requirements include mandatory DAU courses. The procuring contract agency will
determine any other minimum acquisition qualification requirements for personnel assigned to
administer the contract and provide oversight of contractor operations.
11.1.4 Policy
a. Use of contract maintenance must be consistent with the effective and efficient
accomplishment of the Navy and Marine Corps mission. Navy and Marine Corps aviation units
11-2
1 Feb 2021
employ contract maintenance in activities with stable mission environments, such as training, test, or
support functions.
b. Contracts must be written to ensure contract maintenance programs comply with approved
maintenance plans, User's Logistics Support Summaries (ULSSs), and other applicable policy
requirements pertaining to the upkeep and support of an aircraft or system.
a. Commander, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM). The DON has designated
NAVAIRSYSCOM as the naval aviation authority with responsibility for NAVAIRINST 3710.1.
b. In accordance with SECNAVINST 5400.15, NAVAIRSYSCOM has unique management
authority and accountability for assigned naval aviation programs with the exception of authority and
responsibilities specifically assigned to a PEO or Direct Reporting Program Manager (DRPM). This
includes designing, developing, procuring, and supporting naval aviation systems used by the Navy
and Marine Corps. NAVAIRSYSCOM’s acquisition areas of cognizance include aircraft,
aeronautical weapons and IT systems, and associated subsystems to include life support, propulsion
and power, armament/ordnance, avionics, mission support, and aviation support equipment, and
related systems and equipment including training, photographic and reconnaissance, airborne mine
countermeasures, aircraft launching and recovery, and target systems. This translates to the fact that
the majority of the NAE Procuring Contracting Officers are centralized within NAVAIRSYSCOM.
c. NAVAIRSYSCOM Aviation Safety is the Naval Aviation Cognizant Service Safety Office
(CSSO) for safety issues associated with contract maintenance programs, and operational issues on
contracts requiring NAVAIRINST 3710.1 compliance. The NAVAIRSYSCOM Government Flight
Representative (GFR) is also located at this office and works for the NAVAIR Aircraft Controlling
Custodian Program Office. If a unit GFR has questions, they should contact their Wing GFR or
Aircraft Controlling Custodian (ACC) GFR. Unanswered questions can be elevated to NAVAIR
Aviation Safety or to the NAVAIR Controlling Custodian Program Manager.
d. NAVAIRSYSCOM (responsible supporting program office) is responsible for maintaining the
Bidders Library website to provide technical data for all bidders to use to review requirements for
determining their bid, and ensuring the Bidders Library contains the latest and most up-to-date
information.
e. Aircraft Controlling Custodians (ACCs). The ACC that provides funding for procurement of
contract maintenance efforts is responsible to ensure oversight control (to include staffing and
funding as required), technical support, and support the administration of contracts under their
authority.
f. Aviation Maintenance Management Teams (AMMT). COMNAVAIRFOR and
NAVAIRSYSCOM operate AMMTs to evaluate performance of maintenance activities, including
contractor maintenance. Requirements for AMMT evaluations are in Chapter 10, Section 10.24, of
this instruction. While the evaluation standard may change based on contractual requirements, the
requirement to conduct AMMT inspections on aircraft reporting custodians is not affected by who
11-3
1 Feb 2021
maintains the aircraft. Whether the aircraft is maintained by military personnel, government civil
service, or contract maintenance is irrelevant to the requirement. When an AMMT is scheduled to
conduct an inspection of an activity with contract maintenance, the AMMT Team Leader, with the
assistance of the responsible GFR/GGFR, Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) or Contracting
Officer’s Representative (COR), must familiarize themselves with the contract, performance
standards, and applicability of NAMP requirements. Conflicts regarding the conduct of ground or
flight operations covered by NAVAIRINST 3710.1 will be referred to the GFR/GGFR. Conflicts
regarding the application of contractual requirements will be referred to the COR/TPOC and the
GFR/GGFR. Ultimately, the resolution of contract requirement conflicts is the responsibility of the
PCO.
g. Contract Administrative Services (CAS). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 42 lists
various CAS functions applicable to several different types of contracts. FAR 42.302 (a) (56)
Maintain surveillance of flight operations, is the core CAS function performed by the GFR/GGFR.
Note: With respect to CAS, the terms “flight operations” and “aircraft operations” are used
synonymously.
h. CAS requirements are assigned in several ways through the contract or through acquisition
regulations. CAS responsibilities are normally identified in the contracts themselves. This
information is usually found in Section A on Solicitation/Contract (standard forms 33, 26, 1447, etc.)
or in Section G – Contract Administration Data, of the contract.
i. The procuring activity usually assigns the administration of a contract to a CAS Component
(DCMA, ACC, TYCOM or TYPE WING). The procuring activity may elect to withhold the
assignment of specific CAS functions per DFARS 242.202 or assign additional functions via FAR
42.202.
j. CAS are delegated the authority to administer the day-to-day operational requirements, play a
critical role in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) process,
document past performance information that can be used in source selection evaluations,
develop/modify the Performance Work Schedule/Statement of Work (PWS/SOW), and oversee
administration of payments and source selection issues.
k. Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). The only individual authorized to issue a solicitation
and award a contract is the PCO. The PCO is warranted and appointed by the head of the contracting
agency. In most instances, the term “contracting officer” refers to the PCO. The PCO is responsible
for overseeing the contract from start to finish, including drawing up the procurement package,
Request for Proposal (RFP), and contract award, as well as administration during the contract's
lifecycle.
l. Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). The ACO is an individual possessing a contracting
warrant with delegated authority from the PCO to perform transactions on behalf of the government
in support of assigned contracts pursuant to FAR 42.302.
11-4
1 Feb 2021
m. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)/Technical Point of Contact (TPOC). PCOs may

appoint a COR/TPOC to monitor contractor support contacts, including delivery orders under
indefinite contracts and basic order agreements (BOAs). The COR/TPOC provides on-site/field team
contract administration for specifically delegated functions. A COR/TPOC may also be appointed to
monitor contracts supporting other contract services, including hardware requirements. When
assigned, COR/TPOCs play a critical role in the CPARS process, documenting past performance
information that can be used in source selection evaluations including development of the
PWS/SOW, administration of payments, and source selection issues. The PCO will determine the
specific training requirements for the COR/TPOC per USD (AT&L) Memorandum “DoD Standard
for Certification of COR for Service Acquisitions” dated 29 MAR 2010. COR/TPOC duties
normally include the following:
(1) Surveillance of Contract Performance: a function of contract administration used to
determine contractor progress and to identify factors that may delay performance.
(a) Monitoring of contract performance and progress.
(b) Review and evaluation of contractor reports (i.e., progress deliverables; review of
invoices using Wide-Area Workflow (WAWF)) to ensure accuracy.
(c) Communication with the PCO regarding contract performance.
(2) Certifying receipt, inspection, and acceptance of contract products.
NOTE: A COR/TPOC does not have the authority to make “constructive changes” which
affect price, quantity, quality, delivery or other terms and conditions of the Contract.
n. Government Flight Representative (GFR), Ground/Government Flight Representative (GGFR)
or Government Ground Representative (GGR)
o. GFR/GGFR/GGR responsibilities are defined in NAVAIRINST 3710.1 (also called the
“combined instruction”, or “8210.1”). Their primary function is to act as the subject matter expert
(SME) for the PCO/ACO contracting officer, helping to ensure the contractor properly performs
contract requirements.
p. The GFR performs the CAS function of maintaining surveillance of flight operations. GFRs
are responsible for ensuring contractors establish and follow approved written procedures. GFR
responsibilities include approval of procedures, aircrew qualifications, and flight authorizations. The
GFR also acts as advisor and SME to the squadron Commanding Officer regarding contract oversight
and contractor flight and ground operations.
q. A GFR or GGFR is required when maintenance contracts do not include flight operations.
The GGFR has delegated responsibility for approval of procedures related to aircraft ground
operations (GOPs) and ensuring contractor compliance.
r. The GGR is responsible for surveillance of contractor aircraft ground operations as part of an
Aviation Program Team (APT). GGRs differ from GFRs/GGFRs in that GGRs have no authority to
approve GOPs and are tasked with assisting the GFR/GGFR. GGRs must know the status of all
11-5
1 Feb 2021
contractor facilities, equipment, group personnel training and certification, technical data, and
procedures involving aircraft ground operations.
s. Aviation Program Team (APT). The Aviation Program Team (APT) is responsible for
monitoring and evaluating the CAS mission. APTs consist of the GFR, GGR, Contract Safety
Specialist/Contract Safety Manager (CSS/CSM), and where appropriate, the Quality Assurance
Representative/Specialist (QAR/QAS). The GFR/GGFR leads the APT. On maintenance only
contracts where no GFR is assigned, the APT consists of the GGFR, GGR (if assigned), CSS/CSM,
and where appropriate, the QAR. After the contract is in place, government oversight responsibilities
include, but are not limited to:
(1) Supporting the GFR/GGFR in the approval of contractor written procedures for all flight
and ground operations and daily administration of the contract, per requirements established in
NAVAIRINST 3710.1.
(2) Providing in-house training and guidance to the command on operating within the
constraints of the contract.
11.1.6 Planning Contract Maintenance
a. The first step in planning for contract maintenance is determining if the Ground and Flight
Risk Clause (GFRC) (DFARS 252.228-7001) is required on the contract. DFARS 228.370 defines
the requirements for the GFRC on contracts (involving government aircraft) except for those:
(1) That are strictly for activities incidental to the normal operations of the aircraft (e.g.,
refueling operations, minor non-structural actions not requiring towing such as replacing aircraft tires
due to wear and tear);
(2) That are awarded under FAR Part 12 procedures and are for the acquisition, development,
production, modification, maintenance, repair, flight, or overhaul of aircraft; or otherwise involving
the furnishing of aircraft;
(3) For which a non-DoD customer (including a foreign military sales customer) has not
agreed to assume the risk for loss or destruction of, or damages to, the aircraft; or
(4) For CDA that are to be maintained to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
airworthiness standards when the work will be performed at a licensed FAA repair station.
Note: If seeking an exemption from using a licensed FAA repair station, the selected repair
station must hold private insurance covering damage to any aircraft being supported, to
include DoD aircraft.
b. The GFRC functions as a government self-insurance clause. It indemnifies the contractor
against the cost of damage (except for a deductible) if certain prerequisites are met. This allows the
government to avoid reimbursing the contractor for the cost of commercial insurance on the aircraft.
11-6
1 Feb 2021
c. Contract maintenance programs are usually planned to accommodate normal peacetime

missions. However, activities must consider provisions for effective support under emergency and
wartime conditions.
d. Contract maintenance programs for new systems will be developed per the approved
acquisition logistics support plan. Program planning should be completed well in advance of the
introduction of the equipment into the inventory to allow the contractor to adequately plan and equip
for the start date.
e. When contract maintenance is planned for in-service systems, provisions must take into
account the contract procurement cycle, including time to support requests for proposal/quote
preparation, advertising, solicitation, and bid evaluation. Successful contract operations are
dependent on ensuring sufficient time is allocated to permit the selected contractor to adequately plan
and equip for the contract start date.
11.1.7 Developing the Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Statement of Work (SOW)
11.1.7.1 The PWS/SOW provides the requirements and performance metrics for the contracted
effort. Close coordination between the ACC, PMA or Weapon System Manager (WSM), and PCO,
in conjunction with the user organization or parent activity of the systems/aircraft under their
cognizance, is essential to achieving a timely and quality contract. The contract is the primary
reference when evaluating a dispute or litigation. Directives, including maintenance and operations
manuals, standards, and specifications referenced in the contract, require contractor compliance.
Preparation of the PWS/SOW for the contract will be coordinated by the cognizant contracting
agency. The customer activity will prepare the draft PWS/SOW and submit to higher level authority,
for example, ACC, PMA, Type Wing, etc., for review.
11.1.7.2 In developing the PWS/SOW, the planners must:
a. Determine the appropriate type of contract, for example, Performance-Based Firm-Fixed Price,
or Time and Materials Cost-Plus Fixed-Fee, which best suits the type of work and mission of the
activity.
b. Clearly set forth the government's minimum requirements with the objective of producing a
quality product at the best value to the Navy and Marine Corps.
(1) The contract determines what work the contractor is required to perform. The
organization writing the contract, in collaboration with the customer unit, must consider and decide
on all aspects of the situation and what the PWS/SOW must define.
(2) Pay special attention to manning requirements and billet responsibilities. Who,
government or contractor, will hold management positions?
(3) Failure to define the role of the contractor almost invariably results in confusion, if not
contract challenges.
(4) When considering the use of the NAMP on the contract, the following applies:
11-7
1 Feb 2021
(a) The NAMP was written for Sailors and Marines to maintain Naval aircraft (to include
all experience levels, all ground and shipboard conditions, in peace and in combat). It was never
written to define how a contractor, with experienced, qualified maintainers in a stable maintenance
environment, should work on our aircraft. The NAVAIRINST 3710.1 was written to provide the
required government oversight for contractors.
(b) Sometimes, and in some specific areas, it makes sense to include compliance with the
NAMP as a contract requirement. For instance, when aircraft records must be in the Service format
to meet NALCOMIS OOMA documentation requirements, to document completed repairs, or when
aircraft are to be maintained to fleet standards (e.g., FRS aircraft).
(c) Commands must weigh the benefits versus the costs when including NAMP
requirements on a contract. Unless specified, when the NAMP is on contract, it is not all-inclusive;
therefore, it is imperative that commands accurately identify the Chapters, Programs and/or
NAMPSOPs with which the contractor must comply. However, understand that it may be more
expensive to the government as the contractor may have policy development, manpower
considerations, and associated training costs requirements.
(d) The entire NAMP must not be put on a contract. Specific sections must be defined by
section or process to define the government requirements for that contract. When NAMP Chapters,
Programs and/or NAMPSOPs are specified as contract requirements, the contractor must write their
NAVAIRINST 3710.1 required Ground Operation Procedures (GOPs) (when the NAVAIRINST
3710.1 is on the contract) in a way that fulfills the requirements of the NAMP. Administrative and
Command relationship requirements in the NAMP do not apply to the contractor when the NAMP is
on contract as contractors have proprietary structures, and there is no benefit to requiring the
contractor to adjust to the military structure. It may not always be possible for the contractor to meet
all the requirements in the NAMP program due to the local situations (e.g., manpower, organizational
structure, facilities available), so the Government Flight Representative (GFR) is authorized to
approve procedures that are as close as is reasonable to meeting the NAMP intent, given the
situational constraints.
(e) Consistent with contracting procedures, the NAMP version in effect on the day the
contract is awarded is the version the contractor must comply with, and will remain in effect until a
contract change is negotiated and the new version is put on contract. Contractors are encouraged to
seek contract modifications to keep the most current version on contract. Contractors must keep the
contractually required version current, complying with all appropriate changes as they are released.
c. Divide the PWS/SOW into readily measurable end items. The objective is to purchase a
product, not to purchase man-hours or personnel equivalents.
d. Identify measurable performance-based metrics to evaluate and hold the contractor
accountable, for example, aircraft Ready For Tasking, sorties completed, and tasks accomplished.
e. Contract Phase-in/Phase-out periods in accordance with FAR 52.237-3, Continuity of
Services.
11-8
1 Feb 2021
11.1.7.3 The following items may be required by the PCO to complete the contracting process:
a. Funding document
b. Technical Evaluation Plan
c. Independent government estimate of cost
d. Sole source justification (if applicable)
e. Government Furnished Property (GFP) listing
f. Repair parts lists associated with the equipment and items to be maintained at the various
levels of maintenance
g. The nature of supply support to be used in the contract (government or contractor provided)
h. Specific identification and location of systems to be maintained
i. Inspection and test procedures and output standards for end products
j. Quantitative input and output schedules and priorities for accomplishment of workloads to
meet operational requirements
k. Special instructions for rework/component repair/replacement
l. Disposition instructions for repairable items
m. Maintenance Information System (MIS) requirements and frequency of reports
n. Expected duration of the contract. Contracts may range from a short duration to 10 years
depending on the type of contract written
o. Special Navy programs. Safety procedures for reporting and investigating accidents or
incidents
p. Classified material access and handling procedures
q. Configuration Management (CM) documentation and process requirements
11.1.8 General Rules of Government Contract Administration and Contract Writing
11.1.8.1 Introduction.
a. Proper contract development is accomplished through coordinated planning and intensive

review by all levels of the chain of command. After Contract award, the contractor will develop
procedures (FOPs/GOPs) which must be approved by the GFR/GGFR and will be based on National
Aerospace Standards, commercially accepted equivalent references and processes, the combined
instruction or this instruction (if this instruction is listed as guidance in the contract).
11-9
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Procedures may be approved in sections; however, contractors will not conduct
ground operations until the applicable procedure has been approved. Flight
operations are prohibited until ALL procedures have been approved.
b. DON contracts should include the following items:
(1) Purpose. State the purpose of the proposed contract (providing a clear explanation of
products or services being procured), and include required Navy guidance. Ensure inclusion of the
GFRC when applicable.
(2) System Description. Describe the aircraft or weapon system supported.
(3) Mission. Describe the mission of the subject weapon system or activity.
(4) Support Concept. Describe support required of the contractor as well as support to be
provided by the government, for example, contractor provides all maintenance materials and SE, full
government support, or combinations of both. Address special emphasis programs, such as FOD
prevention or Corrosion Control programs. Address the location of aircraft to be supported and the
anticipated Concept of Operations (CONOPs).
NOTE: The PMA, or other responsible supporting program office, must coordinate supply
support requirements as soon as practicable. The coordination must insure that the
supply activity’s chain of command has been included in accordance with applicable
command requirements.
(5) The PWS/SOW should include any government provided property, information or
services.
(6) Definitions and Abbreviations. Include definitions and abbreviations used in the PWS.
11.1.8.2 Maintenance.
The O-level, I-level, and Conditional maintenance elements listed in this section must be addressed
(if applicable) when writing the requirements for contract maintenance. The list is not all-inclusive
and each specific requirement and situation must be examined to ensure contractor’s requirements are
adequately defined so government’s oversight responsibilities can be achieved. For example, since
DON aircraft do not have a U.S. Civil Airworthiness Certificate, work performed on them by a FAA
Certified Repair Station (14 CFR Part 145) is technically not covered under the FAA rules. That is
why the contract needs to clearly identify that work performed on US Navy aircraft is to be in
accordance with the requirements of 14 CFR 43, either by a “Part 145 Repair Station” or by FAA
certified mechanics (Part 65). Without specifying that maintenance is to be performed to FAA
standards, the contractor would not be required to meet FAA standards. Likewise, since there is no
regulatory requirement to perform maintenance on Navy aircraft under 14 CFR Part 43, or a return to
service by a person certified under Part 65 or an organization certified under Part 145, it is unlikely
that the FAA would become involved in a dispute about quality of workmanship or traceability of
parts. For maintenance of components (not installed on aircraft), that could be installed on a civil US
Registered aircraft, the FAA would have an interest since the return to service is independent of the
11-10
1 Feb 2021
aircraft (FAA Form 8130-3 most likely) and the part could conceivably be installed in a civil aircraft
having a U.S. Airworthiness Certificate.
NOTE: When developing a PWS or SOW, the Contracting Officer will ensure contractor
ALSS and Egress personnel and other contractors involved with certification, loading,
and handling of ordnance meet the intent of the requirements established in
OPNAVINST 8023.24 in accordance with NAVAIRINST 3710.1. The full
requirements of OPNAVINST 8023.24 apply when the contractor is acting in direct
support of, and with, military ordnance personnel or perform ordnance functions on a
Navy or Marine Corps Air Station.
a. O-Level Maintenance. NAVAIRINST 3710.1, Section 5, provides a minimum list of GOPs
the contractor must develop and use. NAMP programs and areas not covered by the NAVAIRINST
3710.1, Chapter 5, must be considered when preparing a PWS/SOW, not after the contract has been
award. The following must also be considered:
(1) Operational Schedule Commitments. Address criteria for meeting the operational
schedule.
(2) Off-Site Support. Address required detachment support ashore or afloat.
(3) FCFs. Describe support required by the contractor.
(4) Aircraft Acceptance and Transfer Inspections. Describe tasking and define minimum
requirements.
(5) Contractor logistics support, including engineering, parts obsolescence, etc.
(6) Other Support Services. Describe functions required by the contractor that are not
covered by other major headings, for example, Safe for Flight and air cargo Safe for Flight. Other
support services may include:
(a) Maintenance of display aircraft
(b) Support for Change of Commands
(c) Other ceremonies
b. I-Level Maintenance. Include the applicable items from paragraph 11.1.8.2.a and the items
listed below. Describe the functions to be performed in each of the following areas:
(1) Airframe systems and component repair
(2) Power plants and component repair
(3) Propeller and rotary wing dynamic systems component repair
(4) Electrical systems and component repair
(5) Avionics systems and components repair, to include TMDE
11-11
1 Feb 2021
(6) Armament systems and component repair

(7) ALSS repair
(8) SE repair
c. Conditional Maintenance. Ensure the contract includes a list of conditional maintenance
functions to be performed by the contractor.
11.1.8.3 Maintenance Management and On-Site Organization.
If the agency being supported is outsourcing management functions, such as AMO, MMCO,
Maintenance Control, and Work Center Supervisors, the contract needs to specify the requirements
and authority of those positions. Additionally, the activity must have a plan in place to ensure
government oversight of those contracted positions. While it is understood that certain supervisory
roles may be contracted out, other roles, including government oversight and CPI requirements, will
be maintained by the activity (Military or Civil Service).
a. Physical Plant and Equipment
(1) Address physical plant management roles of the government and contractor.
(2) List responsibilities and requirements for government furnished and contractor managed
equipment. The following must be addressed:
(a) Office equipment
(b) IMRL/SE
(c) Plant property/Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). PWS/SOW will ensure an
annual wall-to-wall inventory is performed for all GFE.
(d) Test bench installations to include test bench harness, maintenance and modification.
(e) Hand tools. Ensure tool control plans are in place. Address government or contractor
tools.
b. Housekeeping and Daily Security. Describe the contractor’s responsibilities for:
(1) Housekeeping
(2) Security support
(3) Hazardous materials and waste
(4) Precious metals
c. Personnel and Interface. Address the required interfacing between contractor and government
representatives.
d. Management Support. Outline management functions such as scheduled work, NMCS
validation, and training programs.
11-12
1 Feb 2021
e. Record keeping and reports

NOTE: The PWS/SOW must identify government records, reports and property to be turned
over during the Phase-in portion of the contract. Shortages must be immediately
identified to the PCO/ACO.
(1) Maintenance records. Identify maintenance records to be maintained by the contractor
and the required periodicity for review.
(2) Configuration Management (CM) Documentation. Identify maintenance records to be
maintained by the contractor and the required periodicity for review. Define within the applicable
PWS/SOW the CM documentation required to include Configuration Status Accounting (CSA)
requirements.
(a) CM documentation can come in many forms and must be tracked.
(b) When the supplier is obligated or mandated to track the CM documentation this must
be delineated correctly in the contract. OPR/PMA CM personnel must have oversight of this
contractual language to ensure documentation is correctly managed and maintained in the correct
format.
(3) Aircraft readiness status reporting. Address readiness reports required and their
frequency.
(4) NAVFLIR (OPNAV 3710/4). Address the contractor’s obligation to use NAVFLIR.
(5) Aircraft Inventory and Readiness Reporting System (AIRRS). Address inventory report
requirements and their frequency.
(6) VIDS/MAF (OPNAV 4790/60) and NALCOMIS MAF/WO. Address any data fields the
contractor is not required to populate. If the contractor is authorized to use company forms,
determine which blocks must be populated to complete a maintenance action.
(7) Logbooks. Navy logbooks must be used when appropriate; Commercial Derivative
Aircraft (CDA) may use logbooks and records meeting FAA minimums. List required forms and
documentation to be maintained for specific systems.
(8) Aircraft incident/mishap reports. Address tasking and reporting requirements of the
contractor that are over and above the requirements defined in NAVAIRINST 3710.1.
(9) Other reporting requirements. All reports the contractor must submit must be identified in
the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL).
f. Quality Control (QC) Program. The Request for Proposal (RFP) must establish the standard
by which the contractor’s Quality Control program is evaluated. Quality clauses can be added to the
contract but are completely separate from the NAVAIRINST 3710.1 processes managed by the GFR.
The level of insight necessary can vary depending on the type of contract negotiated. It is common
for the government to require insight and/or oversight of QA and for those requirements to be defined
11-13
1 Feb 2021
in the contract. The Quality Clauses listed in paragraphs 11.1.9.3.b and 11.1.9.3.e, range from basic
insight and the government’s right to inspect, to higher quality requirements, such as adherence to
specific standards, or the establishment of Critical Safety Items (CSI) that must be witnessed by
government personnel during the manufacturing or rework processes. These clauses are normally
managed by separate quality representatives, not the GFR. However, just like the GFRC, Quality
Clauses are aspects of CAS and supported by the APT. Quality Clauses can be used in conjunction
with the GFRC or on contracts where the GFRC is not applicable.
(1) Program management. Address frequency of QC Program reviews and audits.
(2) Records. Address how often QC data is to be updated and how long the data must be
maintained.
(3) Program elements. List programs to be monitored or audited by the contractor’s QC
Program.
(4) Inspections. List mandatory inspections required of the contractor that must be witnessed
by a government quality representative. These inspections are normally identified as CSIs.
(5) Technical Library. Describe responsibilities for establishing and maintaining the technical
library per applicable Navy guidance.
g. Ordnance Qualification/Certification Board. Task the contractor with establishing a
qualification and certification program meeting the intent of OPNAVINST 8023.24.
h. Aircraft Confined Space Program. Describe procedures to be used along with qualification
and certification processes per NA 01-1A-35.
11.1.8.4 Materials/Supply
a. General. Describe overall responsibilities for the contractor’s material control functions.
b. Material control criteria. Address specific material control procedures.
c. Repairable items. Address procedures for the ordering, turn-in, and inventory of repairable
items; i.e., RFI vs. non-RFI.
d. Consumable items. Address procedures for ordering direct support consumable items.
e. Inventory management and tracking system. The contractor must establish a government
approved system for gathering usage data for items not identified by a National Stock Number (NSN)
and ensure proper identification, storage, and control of NSN and non-NSN assets. Common types of
system outputs needed include the following:
(1) Daily NMCS/PMCS component list
(2) Monthly financial inventory report
(3) Quarterly inventory status report
11-14
1 Feb 2021
(4) Notification when on-hand assets are less than or equal to established minimum quantities
f. Inventory Accuracy. Address procedures for spot inventory checks and an annual physical
inventory of government owned material
11.1.8.5 Operational Requirements
a. Base Loading/Use. Give base loading for site and planned annual use in flight hours.
b. Annual Flight Program. Summarize, in an annex, examples of daily, weekly, and holiday
flight schedules.
c. Environment. Describe plans, requirements, support, and tasking, (if applicable) for:
(1) Weather

military experience/training, industry standards, Department of Labor skill classifications or FAA
certification, and should be clearly defined. FAA certifications are achieved by using a Part 145
repair station, or having the contractor maintenance signed-off by an FAA A&P mechanic qualified
in the discipline being performed. When possible, contractor personnel in positions with no
corresponding commercial job description, such as Plane Captain or IMRL Coordinator, must meet
the same or equivalent standards as Navy and Marine Corps personnel assigned to such positions. If
the sole source of training is the DOD, the contract should specifically state the training that will be
provided as government furnished instruction (GFI). Define special training/certification
requirements to operate all GFE/SE, vehicles, MHE/WHE, and other maintenance equipment
required per the PWS/SOW.
NOTE: ACCs may develop more stringent personnel qualification requirements as needed to
meet diverse operational commitments per the Defense Acquisition Workforce
Improvement Act.

inspection, cleaning, and storage of equipment.
11.1.8.26 Proposed configuration changes.
Proposed configuration changes are delivered via Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to include any
prototyping requirements (when applicable). NAVAIR SOP 4130.1 provides the necessary guidance.
11.1.9 Contract Clauses, Changes and Waivers
11.1.9.1 Contract Changes.
Contracts can be changed by a Supplemental Agreement, Change Order, or Constructive Change.

a. A Supplemental Agreement is a contract modification based on prior agreement of both parties
and incorporates equitable adjustment to contract costs and schedules as a result of the change.
b. A Change Order is a written order issued by a PCO directing the contractor to make a change
without prior agreement. A Change Order creates an undefined government liability. It is used when
11-18
1 Feb 2021
the government needs the contractor to act and cannot wait for agreement on liability to be reached.
When a Change Order is used, the contractor may be entitled to an equitable adjustment.
c. A Constructive Change is an unauthorized contract modification in oral or written format that
occurred through an affirmative act, the failure to act, or a formal or informal action by a government
official, construed by the contractor as having the same effect as a written change order. It must
involve a change in the performance, beyond minimum contract requirements, that is not part of the
contract. When a constructive change occurs, the contractor may be entitled to an equitable
adjustment.
NOTE: When dealing with a contractor, it is imperative all personnel understand their roles,
authorities, and responsibilities. A seemingly harmless suggestion by a military or
civilian government representative can result in the contractor taking action and
subsequently billing the government for that action. Personnel involved in government
oversight or visiting contractor-supported activities must receive the proper training.
Interaction and communication with contractors will be managed through the
members of the Contract Oversight Team, ACO, and PCO.
11.1.9.2 Contract Waivers.
a. On contracts that include the Ground Flight Risk Clause (GFRC), the contractor requests for
waivers to governing maintenance requirements must be submitted through the GFR/GGFR for
review and forwarded, via the chain of command, to the appropriate authority. Specific guidelines
for processing waivers are outlined in NAVAIRINST 3710.1, Chapter 2.
b. For contracts that do not include the GFRC, the contractor’s request for waivers to governing
maintenance requirements must be submitted through the COR for review and forwarded to the
appropriate authority.
NOTE: When addressing a waiver or deviation that affects contractor operations, it is
important to determine if the request is for relief from the contract, NAVAIRINST
3710.1, or other Navy guidance.
c. Contractor requests for non-maintenance waivers, changes or modifications to specific
contractual requirements must be submitted through the COR/TPOC and the GFR/GGFR for review
and forwarded, via the chain of command, to the designated contract administration office. Specific
guidelines for processing waivers, changes or modifications are provided by the ACO or PCO.
11.1.9.3 Contracting Clauses.
Stakeholders need to understand the clauses normally associated with supporting naval aircraft.
Recognizing that contract work can often be subcontracted, users need to understand which of these
clauses must flow down to a subcontractor, which of the clauses becomes the responsibility of the
Prime contractor to enforce, and which place requirements on the government.
NOTE: It should be noted and understood that NAVAIRINST 3710.1 does not address quality;
rather, it addresses the contractor’s responsibility to establish and enforce safe and
11-19
1 Feb 2021
effective written Procedures. Prime contractors must ensure their subcontractors

comply with the provisions of the NAVAIRINST 3710.1. See paragraph 11.1.8.3.f for
details on the Quality Control (QC) Program.
a. Ground and Flight Risk Clause (GFRC), DFARS 252.228-7001.
(1) When a contractor comes in contact with a DON aircraft under contract, there is a
potential that the contractor’s actions could result in damage to that government asset. Whether the
contractor is building the aircraft at a production facility, modifying or repairing, painting, preparing
for flight, testing/monitoring onboard systems, or piloting that aircraft, there is a risk of damage.
(2) As a general rule, the Federal Government is self-insured. As required by DFARS
228.370, with some exceptions, the government implements its policy to self-insure with respect to
risk of loss for Navy aircraft under DoD contracts. The government’s assumption of risk is based
upon a determination that it is ultimately more economical for the government to pay for certain
damages which occur to government aircraft while under contract, than to pay the increased contract
price/cost that would result if the contractor were required to obtain commercial insurance.
(3) The USG accomplishes this by application of the Ground and Flight Risk Clause (GFRC),
DFARS 252.228-7001 which indemnifies the contractor. This requirement is defined in DFARS Part
228.3, Insurance, 228.370.
(4) The GFRC defines aircraft for purposes of the clause and refers to aircraft to be delivered
to the government under a contract, those furnished by the government to a contractor, and aircraft
furnished by the contractor (either before or after government acceptance). It states that the
government self-insures and assumes risk of damage to, or loss or damage to aircraft (1) in the open,
(2) during operation, and (3) in flight. “In the open” means located wholly outside of buildings on
the contractor’s premises. It goes on to say government furnished aircraft are considered “in the
open” at all times while in the contractor’s possession, care, custody, or control, regardless of
location, whether assembled or disassembled. “Operation” means operations and test of the aircraft
and its installed equipment, accessories, and power plants while the aircraft is in the open or in
motion. The term does not apply to aircraft on any production line or in flight. Finally, “Flight”
generally means any flight demonstration, flight test, taxi test, or other flight made in performance of
the contract. The DFARS identifies only four standing exemptions as rational for not including the
GFRC on a contract involving aircraft:
(a) During activities incidental to the normal operations of the aircraft (e.g., refueling
operations, minor non-structural actions not requiring towing, such as replacing aircraft tires due to
wear and tear);
(b) If awarded under FAR Part 12 procedures and are for the acquisition, development,
production, modification, maintenance, repair, flight, or overhaul of aircraft; or otherwise involving
the furnishing of aircraft;
NOTES: 1. This exemption would apply if an activity procured the C-37A (or similar
commercial aircraft) and, either in combination or at some later time, contracted
11-20
1 Feb 2021
maintenance services from a commercial company (e.g., Gulfstream) that competes in

the public sector to service C-37A. This exemption does not apply to conventional
military aircraft procured specifically for military purposes, e.g., MV-22B. Such
aircraft are not commercial items; subsequently, there is not a commercial market
place for such maintenance services.
2. This means that DOD cannot contract for CLS maintenance support of a military
aircraft with a FAR Part 12 COTS contract, because no Commercial Off The Shelf
(COTS) standards for maintaining a military aircraft exist. This exemption is based
on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) capabilities and the availability of Part 145
commercial repair facilities certified and monitored by the FAA. There is no FAA
certification for purely military aircraft and therefore no Part 145 repair station is
certified to repair military (non-CDA) aircraft. This exemption only applies if an
activity procures a commercial aircraft (e.g., C-37A) and, either in combination or at
some later time, contracts maintenance services from an FAA certified Part 145
company (e.g., Gulfstream) that competes in the public sector to service that
commercial aircraft. This exemption does not apply to conventional military aircraft
procured specifically for military purposes, (e.g., MV-22B). Such aircraft are not
commercial items; subsequently, there is not a commercial market place for such
maintenance services.
(c) When a non-DoD customer (including a foreign military sales customer) has not
agreed to assume the risk for loss or destruction of, or damages to, the aircraft; or
(d) For CDA that are to be maintained to FAA airworthiness when the work will be
performed at a licensed FAA repair station.
NOTE: One must always remember that the GFRC is ultimately an insurance plan. As such,
the assumptions are that there are adequate commercial standards in place to govern
the effort and that the contractor has sufficient commercial insurance in place to
protect the aircraft. If these conditions are not met (with the exclusion of the exception
on FMS work) then these exemptions cannot be leveraged and the GFRC must be
included to protect government equities.
(5) To manage the risks associated with indemnification, the GFRC requires the contractor to
comply with the operating procedures contained in the combined instruction entitled “Contractor's
Flight and Ground Operations” (NAVAIR Instruction 3710.1) in effect on the date of contract award.
b. Quality Assurance Clauses. The contractor is responsible for quality in most contracts.
However, there are government quality assurance clauses that allow the government access during
the contractor’s support of our aircraft, and provides a means to verify that the contractor is living up
to their contractual obligations and holding to the standards that have been contractually mandated.
c. Standard Inspection Requirements, FAR 46.202-3
11-21
1 Feb 2021
(1) Standard inspection requirements are contained in the clauses prescribed in FAR 46.302
through 46.308, and in the product and Navy specifications that are included in solicitations and
contracts.
(2) The clauses require the contractor to provide and maintain an inspection system that is
acceptable to the government; give the government the right to make inspections and tests while
work is in process; and require the contractor to keep complete, and make available to the
government, records of its inspection work.
d. Higher Level Quality Requirements, FAR 46.311. A private company depends on the FAA to
ensure the contractor maintains standards when supporting their aircraft. Even though the Navy can
leverage FAA standards, the FAA has no authority to act on behalf of the DON when Navy Aircraft
are involved. Therefore, contracting officers must insert the Higher-Level Contract Quality
Requirement clause, FAR 52.246-11, in solicitations and contracts when the inclusion of a higher-
level contract quality requirement is necessary (see FAR 46.202-4). Any higher-level quality clause
must define the standards against which the government intends to measure the contractor. Examples
of higher-level quality standards include ISO 9001, ASQ/ANSI E4, ASME NQA-1, SAE AS9100,
SAE AS9003, and ISO/TS 16949, and product or process specific quality standards such as SAE
AS5553 or FAA Order 8900.1 governing repair station standards. Sometimes the only standard that
needs to be called out is FAR 52.246-4, Inspection of Services -- Fixed-Price.
e. Other Quality Assurance Clauses. The following are FAR and DFARS clauses that may be
used; the Program Manager and PCO must be familiar with each:
(1) FAR 46.202-1, Contracts for commercial items
(2) FAR 46.202-4, Higher-level quality requirements
(3) FAR 52.246-2, Higher-level quality requirement for inspection of supplies
(4) FAR 52.246-11 Higher-level contract quality requirement
(5) DFARS 246.408-71, Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan
11.2 Commercial Derivative Aircraft (CDA)
11.2.1 Objective.
Provide policy to fleet operating personnel regarding the planning, developing, and managing of
CDA.
11.2.2 Background.
CDA have been used by the Navy and Marine Corps to meet logistics and passenger-carrying needs,
and are increasingly being used to meet other unique mission requirements. When appropriately
matched to these roles, and applying FAA approved civil maintenance plans, CDA offer significant
life-cycle cost savings to the government.
11-22
1 Feb 2021
11.2.3 Scope.
Applies to the Navy and Marine Corps CDA used for operations.
11.2.4 Airworthiness.
The PMA is responsible for establishing a plan that includes, when necessary, engineering design,
testing, sustainment, and modifications to CDA. To maximize life cycle cost savings, the Navy and
Marine Corps will seek to ensure its CDA, to the extent practicable, comply with civil airworthiness
standards set by FAA Regulations. CDA owned, leased, or operated by the Navy and Marine Corps
are, in most cases, conducting Public Aircraft Operations (PAO), as defined by the U.S. Code. As
such, the Navy, not the FAA, is the responsible agent for certification of airworthiness per
NAVAIRINST 13034.1 and NAVAIR Manual 13034.1. Ultimately, NAVAIRSYSCOM has
responsibility for airworthiness and will leverage FAA airworthiness artifacts and FAA approved
maintenance plans wherever practicable.
11.2.5 Maintenance Planning
a. Maintenance of CDA can apply to all maintenance levels.

b. The PMA will determine whether the use of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM),
organic maintenance plan, or combination of both is the most cost-effective for aircraft supportability
and operational requirements and will be responsible for developing and publishing maintenance and
support plans.
c. When an aircraft receives its original design approval (e.g., Type Certification (TC)) from the
FAA, the Operator develops maintenance and operations procedures. In civil aviation, once the
operator develops these procedures, they submit their proposed Minimum Equipment List (MEL) to
the Flight Services District Office (FSDO). After the FSDO approves it, it becomes part of the TC.
When a CDA aircraft is performing PAO, NAVAIR Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE Office
becomes the approving office of the MEL for that aircraft.
a. NAVAIRSYSCOM is responsible for assisting PMAs and WSMs in the acquisition and
development of aircraft and weapon systems.
b. PMAs are responsible for overall management of maintenance and logistics programs for
systems under their cognizance and will:
(1) Conduct business case analysis, including analyzing proprietary data/licensing
considerations, to determine whether contractor or organic maintenance is more beneficial.
(2) Determine, in cases where an approved OEM maintenance plan exists, the implementation
of best commercial practices in lieu of the NAMP.
(3) Develop T/M/S specific maintenance and support plans that contain detailed guidance to
address operational considerations, OEM/organic maintenance policy, requirements, safety and
11-23
1 Feb 2021
airworthiness. The maintenance and support plan must cover all Integrated Logistic Support (ILS)
elements and define applicable and non-applicable NAMP policies. The plan must be updated as
required for program or funding changes.
(4) Coordinate with OPNAV and ACCs for development, implementation, revisions, and
changes to the respective maintenance and support plans.
(5) Provide interim maintenance and support guidance to ACCs when problems, design
changes, or operational experience indicate a change is required. This interim guidance will be
issued as an attachment to the maintenance plan. The interim guidance will be rescinded by the
cognizant Assistant Program Manager for Logistics (APML) when the approved change is issued.
c. ACCs, in conjunction with PMA, are responsible for determining specific CDA maintenance,
support, and operational requirements and will:
(1) Ensure Navy personnel are thoroughly trained in CDA maintenance, associated support
plans and practices.
(2) Conduct reviews of support strategies and performance measures. Revise, correct, and
improve sustainment strategies as necessary to meet performance requirements.
11.2.7 Resources
a. The FAA Military Certification Office (MCO) was established via a MOA to support the
services in dealing with CDA issues. It serves as an FAA Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) and
the FAA point of contact for coordination with the applicable US Armed Services Airworthiness
Authority (AA).
b. All US military CDA programs requiring FAA “type certification” projects are now initiated
through the MCO. This assures higher priority in the FAA queue, standardization for military
certification programs, and a staff knowledgeable in military processes. Type certification projects
may be conducted by the MCO, coordinated with the FAA type certificate management office for
execution, or delegated to another ACO if in the best interest of the FAA.
c. MCO provides certification of modifications to commercial aircraft that generally meet the
following criteria:
(1) The aircraft’s primary mission (for example, carriage of passengers and/or cargo) is not
altered.
(2) The flight usage spectrum is within the FAA certified flight usage (or can be
accommodated by maintenance concepts).
(3) FAA expertise and/or civil standards exist.
(4) The aircraft are operated and maintained in a manner consistent with the way the aircraft
was certified for civil use.
(5) The modification is of a type that a civil applicant would typically request.
11-24
1 Feb 2021
11.2.8 Configuration Management (CM)
a. CM for military aircraft must be processed per NAVAIRINST 4130.1. Configuration change
proposals must be submitted either as ECPs or as RAMECs processed per NAVAIR SOP 4130.1.
b. CM of CDA is managed by NAVAIRSYSCOM, which has final authority to approve or
disapprove incorporation of all military and non-mandatory FAA changes. CM of naval aircraft will
not be contracted out, but commercial CM data can be used to support government CM processes.
NAVAIRSYSCOM will establish a baseline configuration for all contractor maintained equipment
prior to award of a contract.
c. ULSS and Maintenance Support plans must contain explicit details on all methods of
configuration control for the applicable aircraft, Contractor-Furnished Equipment (CFE), and
Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE).
d. Commercial aircraft also undergo aircraft modifications to remain flight ready, and to maintain
their FAA certification. Any other information from a manufacturer is considered to be advisory
unless the "Inspection and maintenance program" says otherwise (a high percentage of commercial
aircraft are certified under a maintenance plan that requires the manufacturer’s recommended
program be followed). Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and such are part of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness of an aircraft required by 14 CFR 21.50. Most times they result from either
changes in parts or from service difficulties, and provide greater reliability. In some cases, they may
be incorporated by reference into Airworthiness Directives (AD) under 14 CFR 39. If they aren't
incorporated into an AD, they aren't mandatory from that standpoint, but could be mandatory
depending on the maintenance and inspection program identified for the aircraft.
NOTE: Airworthiness Directives (AD) are part of 14 CFR 39 and are REGULATORY and are
always MANDATORY.
e. FAA directives not having mandatory compliance, along with Navy originated TDs and
RAMECs, must be complied with as directed by the PMA. Either the WSM, when assigned, or the
PMA will prepare, process, and present these change requests to the appropriate NAVAIRSYSCOM
Change Board (an emergency AD that says, “Before further flight” may not allow sufficient time for
a formal Board action. Prior coordination should be considered). Major (Class I) engineering
changes to naval (Navy, and Marine Corps) Configuration Items (CIs), especially aircraft or
components which are commercially controlled, may be documented and submitted as Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) airworthiness directives or certifications, contractor service bulletins
and other such commercially acceptable means. However, all such changes will still require the
NAVAIRSYSCOM Configuration Control Board (CCB) or De-Centralized Configuration Control
Board (DCCB) approval and reporting, and implementation via a Technical Directive (TD) following
the process governed by NAVAIRINST 5215.12 and NA 00-25-300 manual.
f. Commercial configuration changes for CDA may be exempt from certain military specification
requirements including drawings, kit assembly, and kit proofing. Commercial changes, when issued,
have met FAA approval for engineering logic and safety, however, the military may use the CDA in
a manner or environment that differs from its commercial counterpart. The NAVAIRSYSCOM
11-25
1 Feb 2021
Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE Office, in coordination with the PMA, will make the determination
whether the FAA approvals have met the Navy’s full requirements, or if further engineering review is
required per NAVAIRINST 13034.1. The FAA Military Certification Office routinely interacts with
the NAVAIR Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE Office on matters specific to CDA.
g. Provisions for funding the installation or compliance with approved configuration changes and
subsequent amendments or modifications for contractor maintained Navy and Marine Corps aircraft
must be included in the maintenance contract per DOD 7000.14-R and NAVSO P-1000. Known or
anticipated configuration changes to fielded aircraft requiring funding must be planned for and
identified in the Operational Safety Improvement Plan.
h. Configuration status accounting provides an audit trail for changes from the baseline
configuration. It provides information necessary for the accomplishment of related tasks resulting
from configuration changes. Status accounting data and reports may exist in a variety of forms, some
of which may be automated. In some instances this information may be provided from data reports
used by the contractor. Overall responsibility for status accounting is assigned to the PMA. Content
of the configuration status report must, at a minimum, contain records and reports which reflect the
following:
(1) Technical documentation comprising the configuration baseline and other essential data.
(2) Approved changes to the configuration, including the quantity and nomenclature to which
these changes apply, the implementation status of such changes, and the activity responsible for
implementation.
(3) Current configuration.
(4) In accordance with NAVAIR SOP 4130.1, Configuration Status Accounting (CSA).
i. CM and configuration status accounting procedures for CDA must be performed per NAVAIR
SOP 4130.1 as defined in the PMA CM plan and as approved by NAVAIR Configuration
Management. The PMA will coordinate with the ACC in approving which commercially originated
maintenance directives and component modification requirements (ADs, ASBs, CEBs, CSLs, SBs,
and AOLs) are determined necessary or mandatory. All resulting changes must be compliant with
the TD Program. The PMA or Fleet Support Team (FST) will furnish the Contracting Officer a
Contract Data Requirements List as part of the procurement request, defining all configuration status
accounting information, data, and reports.
j. CM for systems other than aircraft is a responsibility of the PMA and must include
configuration control and status accounting procedures and requirements for all issued changes.
11.2.9 Recording Accuracy
a. Accurate recording of maintenance is the foundation of an effective maintenance program and

must provide managers with the current configuration of aircraft and equipment, historical record of
work accomplished, hours, and cycles accumulated.
11-26
1 Feb 2021
b. Logbooks, forms, records, and reports must conform to and meet the minimum provisions of
COMNAVAIRFOR and NAVAIRSYSCOM requirements. When required or advantageous to the
PMA and accepted by NAVAIRSYSCOM, a CDA may use logbooks and records meeting FAA
standards as listed in FAA regulations.
c. The contract should be written such that the contractor will be required to certify the
completion of maintenance actions accomplished on the aircraft. Additionally, the contractor may be
authorized to certify the aircraft Safe for Flight. Personnel authorized to certify completion of
maintenance and release aircraft Safe for Flight must complete a company approved training syllabus
to include qualifications, required reading, and OJT. GOPs must identify the final approval authority
and processes to certify company artisans. The GFR will in turn, validate the qualification process
through the approval of GOPs. The GOPs must stipulate that the contractor be required to maintain a
current list of contractor personnel qualified to sign-off maintenance actions and to release aircraft
Safe for Flight.
d. Depending on the contract maintenance construct or approved CDA maintenance program, the
recording requirements may involve maintenance of aircraft and SE official logs and records. The
contract or approved CDA maintenance program must specify the format and minimum information
that must be recorded and maintained. All consideration should be given to using existing and
accepted Navy records, practices, and information systems/programs prior to accepting a contractor’s
proposal to develop a new or proprietary system.
11.2.10 Supply Support
a. Supply support can be provided through the military supply system or through commercial
resources for either military unique weapons systems or CDA.
b. When the government uses commercial sources for supply, the civilian marketplace
determines availability of spares and repair parts. Supply support must when necessary, be tailored
to each individual platform by the logistics manager. Considerable flexibility must exist to ensure
required support at a minimum cost.
c. To assist in budgeting, a Weapon System Planning Document (WSPD) and GFE list has been
established for each model aircraft. The government supply system must be used for GFE stock or
items common to other Navy aircraft including general aeronautical material such as nuts, bolts, and
sheet aluminum, except when prohibited by the contract.
d. There are many variations of contractor support which should be considered when seeking the
most efficient and economical method. Competitive sources for repairable items are normally
available and should be considered where practical. CFE should be supported commercially for the
life-of-type if more advantageous to the government.
e. The PCO is permitted to contractually authorize the contractor to pursue commercial sources
for parts as long as military specifications and standards are met and the standard stock price is not
exceeded. A documented waiver should be obtained if it is necessary to exceed the standard stock
price when the Navy supply system has been proven not operationally responsive. Ensure contract
11-27
1 Feb 2021
provisions require appropriate mandatory procedures to ensure the contractor maintains auditable
documentation to verify material accountability.
f. The following contains examples of special areas that need to be addressed when tailoring
supply support for CDA:
(1) Contractor managed storage facility at the O-level.
(2) Consignment of parts using organization with payment upon consumption.
(3) O-level activity local procurement authority to purchase from prime manufacturer or other
commercial sources where available.
(4) GFP item acquired by manufacturer part number and not processed in the federal supply
system.
(5) Contractually required Support Material List of commonly used replaceable parts,
including prices.
(6) Proposed cost to the government for CFE spares, PSE, and publications, versus cost to
commercial customers.
(7) Contractor comparison of commercial and government support to determine method to be
followed.
(8) A pool of spares at the O-level.
g. Operational support details will be determined by the APML or Logistics Element Manager
and will indicate procedures for requisitioning spares, turn-in of repairable items, exchange of items,
and any other details necessary for using organizations to maintain the required support for the
aircraft.
h. The local supporting supply activity, designated to provide supply support for the contract,
must be fully appraised of contractual requirements of any new contract. The PMA must coordinate
support requirements as soon as practicable.
i. The ULSS must contain sufficient operational detail to ensure organizational compliance in
maintaining complete support. The plan will be updated as required for significant changes due to
program or funding changes.

COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Aviation Depot Level Industrial Program, Depot Special Process
Certification, and Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Center (NATEC)
Engineering Technical Services (ETS)
12.1 COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Aviation Depot Level Industrial Program
12.1.1 Introduction
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM is responsible for the management of the Aviation Depot Level Industrial
Program. Management responsibilities include planning for and developing resource capabilities to
meet industrial level material support needs for naval aviation active and reserve operating forces,
and issuing policy and procedures for the operation of Depot Fleet Readiness Centers (FRC) within
the Department of the Navy (DON).
a. The Aviation Depot Level Industrial Program provides depot level (D-level) maintenance,
rework, and manufacturing within the Depot Fleet Readiness Centers (Depot FRC). It also provides
support services to organizational level (O-level) and intermediate level (I-level) maintenance
activities, such as providing technical expertise and repairs that exceed O-level or I-level
responsibility or capability.
b. The following sections provide information and policy regarding processes and functions that
are unique to the COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Aviation Depot Level Industrial Program.
12.1.2 Depot Quality Management System (QMS)
12.1.2.1 Overview
The Depot QMS is a single, formalized system which documents processes, procedures, and
responsibilities for achieving quality policies and objectives while conforming to aerospace standard
(AS) 9110 Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Aviation Maintenance Organizations.
The Depot QMS is the system used to manage product and service quality.
12.1.2.2 Quality Management
The Depot FRC must manage quality by establishing quality policies and quality objectives,
developing, maintaining, and improving processes to achieve these quality objectives through
quality planning, quality assurance, quality control, and quality improvement. The primary quality
management positions include:
a. Quality Manager (QM). The Quality Manager (QM) is responsible to the Depot FRC
Commanding Officer for ensuring conformance of the Quality Management System to aerospace
standard (AS) 9110 Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Aviation Maintenance
Organizations and for the periodic certification of conformance. The QM is responsible establishing
quality policies, objectives, and processes, and for achieving quality objectives through the
application of quality planning, quality assurance, quality control, and quality improvement. The
12-1
1 Feb 2021
QM must form Integrated Quality Teams and take such actions as may be necessary to improve
Depot QMS effectiveness and efficiency.
b. Integrated Quality Team Lead (IQTL). Integrated Quality Teams (IQT) will be formed by
the QM and assigned responsibility for improving the quality of specific products or services. Each
IQT must have a leader assigned who is overall responsible to the QM for the IQT’s performance in
monitoring and improving the quality of the IQT’s assigned products and services. The primary
responsibility of the IQT must be to collect and analyze data, conduct root cause analysis, and make
recommendations to the QM for corrective and preventative actions necessary to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of processes, procedures, and/or policies with regard to quality.
12.1.2.2.1 Quality Planning (QP)
Quality Planning is that part of quality management focused on setting quality objectives and
specifying necessary operational processes and related resources needed to achieve the quality
objectives. The QM is responsible for quality planning and must collaborate and coordinate with
appropriate Depot FRC departments when setting quality objectives and conducting quality
planning.
12.1.2.2.2 Quality Assurance (QA)
Quality Assurance is that part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality
requirements will be fulfilled. Auditing is the primary quality assurance activity at Depot FRCs.
Audits are a systematic, independent and documented process for obtaining objective evidence and
evaluating it, objectively, to determine the extent to which the audit criteria are fulfilled. There are
many tools used to conduct audits, at a minimum, audits will use Computerized Self Evaluation
Checklists (CSEC), ePower Audit Tracking System (ATS) for scheduling and Evaluation
Request/Action Request (ER/AR) for documentation of findings needed to be corrected. Audits at
Depot FRCs will be broken into four specific types: Product Audits, Process Audits, Aerospace
Audits (internal & external) and NAMP Audits.
a. Product Audits. Product audits are conducted either in-process or final product; to include
components and aircraft. Product is verified for conformance to specifications delineated in
technical data and local engineering documents. A percentage of final product will be sampled
based on a surveillance plan developed by the QM during quality planning. Product audits are
performed by the IQT as required.
b. Process Audits. D-level processes, either special processes or other processes will be audited
on a regular basis as deemed necessary based on a surveillance plan developed by the QM during
quality planning. Process focused audits utilize the NAMP, local specifications, and technical data
to compare outputs to objectives to determine effectiveness and efficiency of the process, and are
conducted by competent and qualified process auditors. Processes are audited from start to finish
for conformance to the applicable industry or local specifications. The special processes audited are
identified in paragraph 12.2 and within Advanced Skills Management (ASM).
12-2
1 Feb 2021
c. Aerospace Audits. Internal and External Aerospace audits are a requirement for
certification/registration to AS9110. Internal and External Aerospace audits are performed by
trained auditors independent of the process and activity being audited thereby ensuring objectivity
and impartiality of the process audited. These audits are conducted to ensure ongoing compliance
with requirements of the QMS standards, organization's own requirements (policies and
procedures), customer requirements, and applicable external standards (e.g., AS9110). A
systematic, independent and documented process approach is used for obtaining audit evidence and
evaluate it objectively to determine the extent to which audit criteria are fulfilled.
(1) Internal Audits. Internal audits, sometimes called first-party audits, must be conducted
by the Depot FRC internal auditors for management review, to evaluate the effectiveness of the
QMS, to identify improvement opportunities, and for other internal purposes. Internal audits will
form the basis for the Depot FRC’s declaration of conformity to AS9110.
(2) External Audits. External audits include those generally called second and third-party
audits. Second party audits are conducted by parties external to the Depot FRC but with an interest
in the organization, such as customers, or by other persons on their behalf. The QM may undertake
second-party audits for purposes of improving QMS effectiveness and efficiency. Third-party
audits are conducted by parties external to the Depot FRC, such as independent auditing
organizations providing certification and registration of conformity, or governmental agencies.
Depot FRC third party Aerospace audits are performed by a contracted Certification Body (CB) to
achieve and maintain Aerospace certification status.
d. NAMP Audits. NAMP programs are managed by program managers or subject matter
experts (SME) and are audited on a regular basis by those individuals charged with their
management based on risk assessed through a surveillance plan and the NAMP Depot Auditing
Program Manager. For specific NAMP auditing roles, responsibilities, and requirements please
refer to COMFRCINST 4790.4.
12.1.2.2.3 Quality Control (QC)
Quality Control is that part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements.
Quality control focuses on identifying defects through physical and practical inspection,
examination, and testing of product. Quality control requires determining the degree to which the
products’ inherent or acquired characteristics conform to applicable standards and specifications.
Quality Characteristics (QC) are those characteristics considered critical or which positively
determine product acceptability. QCs must be identified, classified, and integrated into work
documents. This is especially important for Safety of Flight, Flight Critical, or Critical Safety
Items. The QM is responsible to define quality control requirements for specific products and
services during quality planning.
12.1.2.2.4 Quality Improvement (QI)
Quality Improvement is that part of quality management focused on increasing the Depot FRC’s
ability to fulfil quality requirements. The QM is responsible for instituting and overseeing recurring
activity as necessary to enhance performance of the QMS in order to increase the Depot FRC’s
12-3
1 Feb 2021
ability to fulfil quality requirements. This recurring activity must include the process of establishing
quality objectives and finding opportunities for improvement, continually, through the use of audit
findings and audit conclusions, analysis of data, QMS management reviews, or by any other means
that generally leads to corrective action or preventive action.
12.1.3 Depot Level Technical Support and Programs
D-level technical support and programs include all the engineering and logistics sustainment
products and processes directly supporting Depot FRC production activities, including production
engineer support, logistics support, material disposition and special process certification.
12.1.3.1 Fleet Support Teams (FST) and FRC Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)
Engineering and Logistics
The COMFRC FST Group enables end-to-end management and execution of sustaining engineering
and their logistics products and services. FSTs provide support to PMAs, including designing,
modifying and repairing assigned aircraft, engines, avionics and components and in-service fleet
support. They integrate engineering and logistics technical authority functions that sustain products
across the FRC enterprise, the Naval Aircraft Warfare Centers and the Naval Air Technical Data and
Engineering Service Center. The FSTs are staffed for their assigned areas of equipment, systems,
and platform cognizance as a primary mission element in support of Fleet maintenance
organizations. FSTs are assigned to various COMNAVAIRSYSCOM related weapons systems,
such as aircraft, engines, and components. The FSTs provide responsive support to Fleet
maintenance organizations when engineering and logistics technical support issues are encountered
as well as providing acquisition support to the PMAs to ensure new equipment and modifications
and upgrades to existing equipment are designed, tested and fielded with Fleet support and in-
service sustainment as a primary consideration.
Each major FRC site (FRC East, FRC Southeast, and FRC Southwest) includes MRO Engineering
and Logistics Departments dedicated to providing sustaining engineering and logistics products and
services in support of the local depot level MRO function. This includes providing engineering
support for In-Service Repairs (ISRs), depot production, capability establishment, equipment and
system troubleshooting, process improvement, repair dispositions, material analysis, technical data
and work documentation, metrology and calibration, and technology evaluation and insertion. It
also includes all phases of material management such as initial planning, provisioning and
requirements determination; acquisition and distribution; accountability; and ultimate issue for
consumption, retention or disposal.
12.1.3.2 Technical Authority, Certification, and Qualification
The COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Engineering and Sustainment Groups empower Technical Warrant
Holders, Deputy Technical Warrant Holders and subject matter experts across the COMFRC
Echelon organizations. Engineers empowered with technical authority provide:
a. Safe for Flight requirements for FRC production and quality processes and FST one-time
flight recommendations.
12-4
1 Feb 2021
b. Provide engineering and technical oversight, guidance, and assistance to FRC Depots.
c. Provide engineering and technical oversight, guidance, and assistance Center for Naval
Aviation Technical Training (CENNAVAVNTECHTRA).
d. Develop and issue engineering requirements for special skill certifications for maintenance
technologies, such as non-destructive inspection (NDI), welding and brazing, and composite repair.
e. Provide products and services in the establishment of training materials and methods, such as
course content and testing and examination procedures, as requested by COMNAVAIRFOR,
CENNAVAVNTECHTRA, and COMFRC.
12.1.3.3 Reliability and Maintainability (R&M)/Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Program
a. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM has directed the application of R&M/RCM to all in-service and
future aircraft, engines, aircrew systems, weapon systems, aircraft launch and recovery equipment,
and support equipment (SE), from technology development through disposal per NAVAIR 00-25-
403 and NAVAIRINST 4790.20.
b. R&M/RCM must be applied as a continuous, integrated activity based on sound engineering
and sustainment principles for developing safe and affordable failure management strategies.
Conduct of this analysis must be the basis for any effort that establishes or adjusts preventive
maintenance (PM) tasks and intervals as an element of the overall maintenance planning process.
12.1.3.4 Structural Life Limits (SLL) Program
The SLL Program provides policy and assigns responsibilities to ensure continuing structural safety
of fixed and rotary wing aircraft throughout their assigned service life. All levels of maintenance
are responsible for ensuring structural life limited items and components do not exceed the specified
limits per NAVAIRINST 13120.1 for fixed wing and NAVAIRINST 13130.1 for rotary wing
aircraft and applicable Service Life Bulletins (SLB), periodic maintenance information cards
(PMIC), technical directives (TD), and interim rapid action changes (IRAC). Structural
modification or alteration of life limited items and components may be changed by applicable TDs,
but not without determining the effect on aircraft assigned service life and approval by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. Responsibilities:
a. FSTs must verify all structural life limited items and dynamic components are incorporated in
applicable aircraft PMICs.
b. Depot FRCs must verify all individual aircraft logbooks and auto log-sets (ALS) reflect work
accomplished by the Depot FRC which may affect the structural life limited items or dynamic
components service life. For aircraft reworked on-site, reflect work accomplished in aircraft
logbooks or provide the documentation for aircraft logbook entry by the operating activity (as
applicable). The FST must include instructions for any required logbook or scheduled removal
component (SRC) card entries with Fleet Engineering Dispositions (FED).

12.1.3.5 Integrated Maintenance Concept/Program (IMC/P)

IMC/P is a multi-phased (Prototype-to-Implementation) program maintenance philosophy based on
RCM analysis and focused on developing pro-active Preventive Maintenance Plans. NAVAIR AL-
081AO-IMC-000 is used by the PMA for planning to transition to the IMC/P and will be used in
preparing for the prototype and final approval processes to ensure all programmatic requirements
are anticipated and put in place prior to the commencement of the first PMI at the IMC/P site. This
handbook contains the general requirements which must be met for the plan before seeking
concurrence from the Integrated Maintenance Review Board and CNO (N980L). The planned
maintenance interval (PMI) Specification details inspection and processing specification
requirements necessary to perform scheduled aircraft D-level maintenance. The PMI Specification
can be used by both government and commercial contractor activities.
a. Key aspects of the IMC/P include:
(1) A comprehensive RCM analysis that includes the justification of all maintenance tasks
without regard to specific levels of repair. It relies on decision logic for defining PM tasks that are
applicable and effective for a specific set of failure modes and outcomes. RCM engineering
analysis will be used to develop and identify PM tasks that will produce the highest degree of
availability and readiness at the lowest overall life cycle cost. IMC/P targets improvement in the
overall material condition of the aircraft, optimum life-cycle costs, and reduced out-of-service time
while retaining safety considerations.
(2) The consolidation of maintenance tasks that safely minimizes the duplication of effort
among O-level, I-level, and D-level. Eliminating redundant tasks and combining multi-level artisan
skill sets will allow programs to achieve a wider range of tasks without regard to location. This
initiative allows programs to move D-level skilled artisans closer to the warfighter, improves Fleet
readiness through personnel training, and reduces aircraft downtime.
(3) Fixed Service Periods (FSP) are established by type/model/series (T/M/S) and are based
on RCM analysis, operational requirements, safety, and economic considerations. Fixed Induction
Dates (FID) for IMC/P events are set for the specific Month and Year. Planners may induct an
IMC/P aircraft any time during that specified month, or up to 2 months earlier if required, for
scheduling purposes to support operational requirements, promote level scheduling of D-level
events, or compliment budget submission timelines.
(4) Calendar Based induction scheduling consists of Fixed Induction Dates (FID) for IMC/P
events set for a specific Month and Year. Planners may induct an IMC/P aircraft any time during
that specified month, or up to 2 months earlier if required, for scheduling purposes to support
operational requirements, promote level scheduling of D-level events, or compliment budget
submission timelines.
(5) Block Scheduling inductions consists of prescribed blocks (i.e. induction) at each
designated repair point (D-level facility) while also allowing the flight experience of the aircraft
dictate which aircraft are to be inducted by filling the pre-determined induction blocks at said
designated repair point (DRP). The concept aligns with OPNAV requirement in that the prescribed
12-6
1 Feb 2021
blocks meet the budget forecast requirement. The concept meets the Fleet requirement where filling
the blocks based on aircraft flight experience provides the Fleet with more flight line time and
flexibility to adjust to changing mission requirements as well as eliminate the early inductions that
are taking away valuable utilization time from the Fleet.
12.1.3.6 Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) Program
The purpose of the ASPA Program is to establish a process to evaluate the material condition of a
small number of aircraft that have not converted to the Integrated Maintenance Concept (IMC).
ASPA processes are defined in OPNAVINST 3110.11 and NAVAIR 00-25-403.
12.1.3.7 Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) and ATE Test Program Sets (TPS)
a. ATE are required to support present and future complex aircraft weapon systems. The
development of Navy organic capability to support these weapon systems includes the requirement
to support the required ATE TPS. Functionally, the TPS computer program operates within an ATE
system and is connected to a unit under test (UUT) in such a manner to isolate and detect faults
within the UUT to its defective part(s). All ATE and ATE TPS used in common by I-level or D-
level maintenance activities in support of designated airborne weapon systems, and all D-level only
ATE and ATE TPSs are funded and developed by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM IAW OPNAVINST
3960.16.
b. The FST is the COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Technical and Certification Authority for
designated ATE and ATE TPS. The FST has the responsibility and accountability to establish,
monitor, certify, and approve technical products and processes in conformance to higher authority
policy, requirements, architectures, and standards including Test Workaround Procedures.
c. TPS Development is provided by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. The TPSs provided by TPS
Development are made up of hardware and software elements and all supporting documentation.
The TPSs provide the Fleet and FRCs the capability to maintain and repair complex aircraft weapon
and avionic systems using ATE. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM furnishes organic TPS Development
teams to provide Fleet introductions and on site verifications of the TPSs.
d. Consolidated automated support system (CASS), electronic (eCASS) and reconfigurable
transportable (RT) CASS Installation/Validation/Verification support is provided by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM in the form of effective, reliable CASS and RTCASS testing and support
to the naval aviation warfighter on all aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships (CVNs, LHAs,
and LHDs), Naval Air Stations (NAS), and Marine Corps Air Stations (MCAS) per the
requirements of PMA-260, COMNAVAIRSYSCOM, Patuxent River, MD.
12.1.3.8 Mobile Facility (MF)
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM is designated as the Technical and Certification Authority on MF used by
the Navy and Marine Corps. The FST has the responsibility and accountability to establish,
monitor, certify and approve technical products and processes in conformance to higher authority
policy, requirements, architectures, and standards per NAVAIR M-13670.1.
12-7
1 Feb 2021
12.1.3.9 Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS)

a. JDRS is used to report deficiencies concerning aircraft, systems, and equipment. The system
provides notification to appropriate stakeholders and their support teams responsible for
investigating and correcting the discrepancy, guides responses, compiles data, helps resolve
problems, and serves as a historical resource to research prior occurrences. The goal is to resolve
every safety deficiency promptly and to provide effective leading indicator metrics to prevent
reoccurrence of safety, reliability, and maintainability issues.
b. For details of the reporting tools, methods and processes for NAMDRP deficiencies refer to
paragraph 10.9.
c. The CIM module in JDRS is used to report and identify item criticality (critical safety item
(CSI)/critical application item (CAI)). Details of the reporting methods and processes for CIM are
in paragraph 12.1.3.12.
12.1.3.10 System Safety Program
a. The purpose of the System Safety Program is to identify, eliminate, or mitigate risks in the
design of weapons systems to an acceptable level. This includes risks to hardware, software, and
human systems interfaces and risks to the system, personnel and the environment.
b. DODINST 5000.02 requires program managers to establish a System Safety Program,
regardless of ACAT category per the methodology in MIL-STD-882. The DODINST 5000.02 and
SECNAVINST 5000.2 identify the risk acceptance authorities for System Safety Risks. The
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Engineering and Cyber Warfare Group Director is responsible for
implementing, maintaining, and overseeing NAVAIR System Safety Policy per NAVAIRINST
5100.3.
c. FSTs will conduct analysis to determine the high priority projects that present the greatest
cost mishaps through EI files, incident and mishap reports, and PQDRs. In addition, FSTs will
conduct initial risk assessments of hazards identified as a screening process to determine if the EI is
safety critical and gather, track, and trend safety data from OPNAVINST 3750.6, HAZREPs, EIs,
PQDRs, and MIL-STD-882D reports.
12.1.3.11 Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL)
NOTE: Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific (FRCWP) will manage CTPL per
Chapter 7. All other Depot FRCs will manage their CTPL per this chapter.
a. The CTPL serves two important functions. It provides a central source of up-to-date
aeronautical reference material and is a ready reference source for personnel training and individual
improvement. To perform these functions, the Central Technical Publications Librarian must
manage and control the distribution of technical publications for every T/M/S aircraft and related
equipment in the organization's physical custody consistent with the maintenance level of
responsibility involved. Retention of master copies of publications in the CTPL is optional if the
same publications are held by one or more dispersed libraries. Controlled electronic media technical
12-8
1 Feb 2021
publications and directives should be used whenever available on any approved Navy Marine Corps
Internet (NMCI) devices.
b. Management of the CTPL includes determining which technical publications are needed to
support the organization, controlling receipt and distribution, and ensuring all publications are
current and in good condition. Internal control and distribution of this instruction is a Central
Technical Publications Librarian’s responsibility.
c. Depot FRCs must adhere to NAVAIR 00-25-100, which contains detailed information about
establishing and operating a CTPL. It also describes the requirements, functions, and
responsibilities of personnel assigned to maintain aeronautical technical publications.
12.1.3.12 Critical Item Management (CIM)
a. FSTs are designated as the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) for each aircraft platform for
which they are defined as the cognizant authority. The term ESA is synonymous with Design
Control Activity. The ESA is responsible for CIM for their platform. CIM denotes the sourcing,
manufacturing, and repairing of naval aviation CAIs and CSIs, collectively referred to herein as CIs.
CIs are items the failure of which has been determined to result in MIL-STD-882 severity Category
I or Category II consequences.
b. Technical empowerment levels related to CIs is categorized by technical domain and is
delegated by the Technical Warrant Holder for each domain.. Engineers within an ESA that have
authority to officially sign off on completed work related to CIs within their purview are designated
as basic design engineers (BDE). BDE tasking includes but is not limited to:
(1) Item criticality determinations using Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and
determination of critical characteristics for CSI items.
(2) Development and approval of manufacturing plans for local one-time manufacture of
CIs.
(3) Technical review of DLA 339 (Request for Engineering Support) and provide
engineering guidance.
(4) Participation in the resolution of CIM policy issues related to the BDEs platform and area
of competence.
(5) Participation in the resolution of conflicting initial capabilities documents (ICD) for
items that are used on multiple platforms.
(6) Participation in the resolution of issues related to alternate sources for CIs.
(7) Review of Source Approval Requests (SAR).
(8) Development of Quality Assurance Provisions (QAP) for alternate source qualification.
(9) Approving sources of supply, technical data packages and site surveys as applicable for
CSI.
12-9
1 Feb 2021
c. Each FRC has a Critical Items Management Coordinator (CIMCO). The CIMCO duties fall
into the following categories:
(1) CIM Oversight. The CIMCO is the local site process owner and functions as a liaison
for COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Engineering, NAVSUP WSS, and DLA for emergency or problem
issues with specific vendors. The CIMCO is a member of the Navy CIM Policy Team, and manages
CIM funding and metrics for their FRC. The CIMCO maintains the CIM database inputs for their
FRC.
(2) Engineering Request Coordination. The CIMCO or their delegated representative
provides overarching guidance and ownership of DLA/NAVSUP WSS engineering requests to the
ESAs at their FRC. This includes tracking and assigning tasks to the appropriate engineering teams,
tracking and recording all engineering responses, and expediting turn-around times, questions, etc.
(3) Source Approval Request (SAR) Package Review Coordination. SAR packages are
formal proposals from vendors seeking to become alternate sources for items procured by or
repaired for the Government. The CIMCO receives all SAR packages from DLA and NAVSUP
WSS that are sent to ESAs at their site. The CIMCO then verifies item criticality, FMEA, any
relevant Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR), and Hazardous Materials Reports
(HMR)/Engineering Investigations (EI) for the SAR packages received and then performs an in-
depth review of the SAR package using the SAR checklist. Once the SAR package has any
discrepancies corrected the CIMCO routes the SAR packages to the appropriate ESA. Once
completed, the CIMCO will review and add relevant QAP and Contract Data Requirement List
(CDRL) forms or templates then closes out the SAR packages per the SAR review process.
(4) First Article Test and Production Lot Test Process. Each FRC performs First Article
Testing and Production Lot Testing for items procured from alternate sources. Testing is performed
as required by the contract, and typically includes some combination of dimensional validation,
material property validation, and form/fit/function testing. Upon completion of testing, the FRC
notifies the customer (NAVSUP WSS or DLA) of test results (pass, fail, or conditional acceptance).
(5) Item Criticality Database (ICD) System. The Navy has developed and implemented an
ICD module into the JDRS (https://www.jdrs.mil/)JDRS is the official database for item criticality
determinations. In addition to an item’s criticality, the database also contains information on an
item’s critical characteristics, its national stock number (if any), and approved sources. CIMCOs
can provide assistance with the JDRS ICD to engineering on an as needed basis. CIMCO will
review and research all ICDs including FMEA. CIMCO will verify approved source entry,
attachment of SAR packages, and verify critical characteristics entry for CSI items for any approved
alternate sources of supply and repair.
12.1.3.13 Material Engineering Disposition Program (MEDP)
a. The MEDP is used to systematically evaluate whether material that does not conform to
specification can be scrapped, reclaimed and used “as is”, reworked, or repaired without
compromising the end product’s quality.
12-10
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Material disposition is performed by the cognizant Engineering Group.

b. The MEDP applies to all aeronautical material, including SE, when authorized repair has not
been established. The MEDP may apply to material determined to be in critical supply. The MEDP
does not apply to deficient material reported per paragraph 10.9.
c. Depot FRC-caused discrepancies that affect the conformity of material will be annotated as
an ER/AR in ePower. Engineering will provide Temporary Engineering Instructions (TEIs) for the
disposition of the material.
d. When material is found to be in nonconformance of specifications or procedural requirements
and cannot be processed normally, the material will be identified by being appropriately tagged,
segregated, and stored in a designated MEDP holding area.
e. The Depot QMS must include a control system for retaining MEDP data on file for a
minimum of 1 year.
f. The MEDP Request for Engineering Information (REI) form must be prepared prior to
submission of the material to the MEDP.
g. MEDP action must commence within 10 workdays of discovery. The FST will decide if the
material will be used "as is", reworked, or scrapped. Decisions regarding acceptance of recurring
discrepancies must consider corrective action, number of items involved, and frequency of
recurrences. If material can be made acceptable by rework or repair, it will be reworked or repaired
by specific procedures designated or provided by the MEDP and reviewed by Quality Control for all
necessary work instructions and needed verification lines.
h. Material identified for scrap must be mutilated to prevent reuse, intermingling with
conforming material, or future reclamation. Depot FRCs must develop disposition procedures.
12.1.3.14 Nondestructive Testing and Inspection (NDT/I) Program
12.1.3.14.1 Purpose
The purpose of the NDT/I Program is to establish and maintain an NDT/I Program that responds to

12.2.3.8 Plane Captain Basic Duties and Qualifications
a. Modern naval aircraft are inherently complex. This complexity usually prohibits an
individual from having sufficient technical knowledge of all systems. Therefore, other technicians
must perform those portions of the daily and turnaround inspections which are beyond the plane
captain's technical qualifications. However, this assistance does not relieve the plane captains of
their overall responsibilities. Because this assignment carries a high degree of responsibility, care
must be exercised in the selection of plane captains to ensure they possess the mechanical aptitude,
personal integrity, and motivation to accept this responsibility. The individual must possess the
technical competence and sense of responsibility to ensure the aircraft is properly inspected and
serviced before flight. Comprehensive formal and OJT programs are necessary to ensure only the
most qualified individuals are designated as plane captains.
12-22
1 Feb 2021
b. To highlight the technical training required and to standardize the degree of excellence
desired, the minimum duties and basic qualifications for formal designation and assignment follow.
The Plane Captain must meet the following requirements:
(1) Possess the qualities of personal integrity, maturity, judgment, and aptitude which are
vital to the success of assigned tasks.
(2) Be familiar with and demonstrate practical knowledge of the particular type of aircraft
and its systems.
(3) Perform daily and turnaround inspections in conjunction with assisting personnel.
(4) Assist pilots in flight preparation and be capable of advising them of the material
condition of the aircraft.
(5) Be responsible for the cleanliness and prevention of corrosion on the aircraft, by pursuing
an effective and continual preventive maintenance program.
(6) Be thoroughly familiar with and demonstrate knowledge of the aircraft cockpit, ejection
seats, controls, and systems, as well as starting and ground turn-up procedures.
NOTE: Perform starting and ground turn-up functions only when authorized in writing by
higher authority. Refer to paragraph 12.2.3.5 for additional details.
(7) Demonstrate knowledge of the ordnance and aircraft armament systems (AAS) installed
in or on the aircraft to the extent necessary to ensure during daily and turnaround inspections,
ordnance (to include CADs), AAS, and, ejection seat are in a safe and ready condition.
(8) Be thoroughly familiar with fueling and defueling procedures, have a complete
knowledge of applicable safety instructions, and demonstrate the ability to understand and comply
with them.
(9) Show knowledge of the content and be able to use the technical publications necessary
for proper servicing and maintenance of the aircraft. All personnel taking oil samples, servicing,
and performing maintenance on engine/gearbox systems must be fully aware of the importance of
correctly documenting oil consumption and procedures to be followed when high oil consumption is
suspected.
(10) Know how and when to use the methods of aircraft security required for various
weather conditions and demonstrate such knowledge. Particular attention should be given to the
security of control surfaces and the correct points for attaching aircraft tie-downs.
(11) Demonstrate, in writing or by practical examination, a complete knowledge of the
procedure for riding brakes and any peculiarities of the braking system of the assigned aircraft.
(12) Demonstrate, in writing and by practical application, a complete knowledge of the
standard hand and wand signals, including those signals used for controlling aircraft ashore.
12-23
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: A certified plane captain, or a flight engineer or crew chief qualified to perform plane
captain functions, will be present and supervise all launches and recoveries of
aircraft.
c. Plane Captain, Crew Chief, and Flight Engineer Qualification. To ensure personnel
designated as plane captains, crew chiefs, and flight engineers are fully qualified, COs will initiate
comprehensive instructions and establish indoctrination and training programs. Upon initial
qualification each candidate must receive a thorough written and practical examination. Although
requalification is not required, semi-annual proficiency monitoring by a QAS is required to verify
competency.
(1) A Plane Captain Selection and Examining Board will be established by each activity.
During their training cycle, trainees must not be given full or final responsibility for inspection of
the aircraft. This responsibility rests with designated plane captains. When trainees have
demonstrated their knowledge of the aircraft to the extent that they can satisfactorily complete the
plane captain's examination and are approved by the Plane Captain Selection Board, they should be
so designated. The Plane Captain Designation (OPNAV 4790/158) must be signed by the CO or
Production Officer. The form must be completed when the individual is initially qualified.
Documentation of the initial plane captain designation must be entered in the individual's training
record. Personnel qualified in aircraft T/M/S by one command must be screened, qualified, and
designated by the new command. Plane captains must be designated using OPNAV 4790/158 or
using ASM equivalent.
(2) In commands where flight engineers or crew chiefs perform the functions of a plane
captain, completion of the training curriculum and the designation as a flight engineer or crew chief
by the CO must qualify the aircrewman for plane captain duties. In such cases, the flight engineer
or the crew chief training syllabus must include all plane captain qualifications/requirements. Flight
engineers and crew chiefs, qualified as plane captains per this paragraph, are not required to take a
separate plane captain examination or appear before the Plane Captain Selection and Examining
Board. In those commands where the flight engineer or crew chief training syllabus does not
include plane captain qualification requirements, personnel must qualify as plane captains per the
paragraph above.
NOTE: The designation of plane captain in no way nullifies the requirement for designating
aircrewmen under current NATOPS instructions.

CNATTMARU shore-based turnaround training through mentoring, advanced troubleshooting, and
on-the-job training. They are not intended to be a corrective measure for inadequate ILS planning,
funding, or execution. ETS will not be used to augment maintenance manning. Use of ETS aboard
ship during routine CV and CVN work-up training periods and short term assists is an ACC and
TYCOM management option. Normally, ETS will not be embarked for extended deployment.
d. In those instances where actual, unavoidable logistics or personnel training deficiencies exist,
ACCs/TYCOMs may continue to deploy ETS on a limited basis. Such support will be handled on a
case by case basis where that option is the most logical cost effective alternative. Use will be
closely controlled, limited to finite periods, and kept to an absolute and justifiable minimum. In each
case, the logistic deficiency or training objective necessitating the use of embarked ETS must be
identified to the ACC/TYCOM and NATEC by the requesting activity.
e. NETS are the primary source of ETS for equipment operators and maintainers. CETS are
authorized only when the required support is not available from NETS resources.
f. NETS duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to:
(1) Provide technical advice, assistance, and training on the installation, maintenance, repair,
and operation of weapon systems and equipment.
(2) Evaluate and advise on technical deficiencies in the maintenance and operation of
weapon systems or equipment and recommend methods to eliminate these deficiencies.

Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS)
13.1 Introduction
13.1.1 General Information
13.1.1.1 The Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS)
is the primary management information system (MIS) program for naval aviation maintenance and
supply. The three objectives of NALCOMIS are: 1) Increase aircraft readiness by providing timely
and accurate information required to manage maintenance and supply operations; 2) Reduce
administrative burden; and 3) Improve the quality of maintenance and supply data.
13.1.1.2 The NALCOMIS data collection system provides data to the aviation data warehouse
(ADW). The ADW is used by all levels of management for data related to:
a. Equipment maintainability and reliability.
b. Equipment configuration, including alteration and TD status.
c. Equipment mission capability and use.
d. Material usage.
e. Material non-availability.
f. Maintenance and material processing times.
g. Weapon system and maintenance material cost
NOTE: F-35 activities use the Automated Logistics Information System (ALIS) as their
primary maintenance and supply Management Information System (MIS).
13.1.1.3 The NALCOMIS data collection system consists of the Foundation Tier, Mid-Tier, Top-
Tier, and Wholesale Foundation Tier, as illustrated in Figure 13-1.
13.1.1.3.1 The Foundation Tier is located at O-level, I-level, and D-level maintenance activities and
consists of the following modules:
a. Maintenance Subsystem. The Maintenance Subsystem enables maintenance personnel to
document scheduled and unscheduled maintenance against aircraft and other end items assigned to
the activity. The maintenance subsystem provides a list of parts and enables personnel to issue
Work Orders (WO) and Maintenance Action Forms (MAF) to fix discrepancies. It provides the
capability to track tools and personnel. It also enables personnel to update or query WOs/MAFs, to
requisition parts, and to sign off scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and material requirements.
b. Material Subsystem. This subsystem enables maintenance personnel to track components on
order against an activity's aircraft or other end items. It provides material control processing
interface between Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) NALCOMIS and
Optimized Intermediate Maintenance Activity (OIMA) NALCOMIS.

c. Flight Subsystem. This subsystem enables users to collect and process flight-related data.
The flight hours annotated on a flight document directly affect the Maintenance Subsystem and the
Configuration Management Subsystem.
d. Platform software interface (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART)
Aircraft Module). This module permits transfer of information from systems onboard SMART
aircraft directly into OOMA. It has the capability to strip data from SMART aircraft and separate it
by flight. The Flight Module processes this information before up-line submission. This data
includes structure fatigue information, strain gauge data, engine LUI and diagnostics data, engine
management system data, flight control system data, position data, avionics system data, fault codes,
and component life time or cycle data. The module provides a debrief capability with fully
integrated interactive electronic technical manual (IETM), an engine and aircraft diagnostics or
prognostics capability, portable electronic display device (PEDD) support, and automatic
identification technologies.
e. CM/Logs and Records Subsystem. This subsystem enables users to maintain configuration
profiles for aircraft, engines, propellers, modules, and components assigned to the maintenance
activity. Configuration profiles are found in the following explorers or catalogs:
(1) WAN Explorer
(2) Group Explorer
(3) Inventory Explorer
(4) Log-set Retrieval
(5) Assembly Catalog and Assembly Explorer (accessed from the Assembly Catalog)
(6) Parts Catalog
(7) DODIC Catalog
(8) Reference Term Editor
(9) Maintenance Plan Catalog
(10) Configuration Management Report Generator
(11) XRAY Explorer
f. AD HOC Subsystem. This subsystem enables users to create customized queries from the
application database tables. The user can establish criteria for the data elements, perform
calculations, sort and group items, manually create graphs, specify print formats, and perform
analysis on data currently maintained in the database.
NOTE: Data retrieved only reflects information applicable to aircraft and equipment in
the reporting custodian’s database.
g. Personnel Subsystem. This subsystem enables authorized users to access personnel
information, special maintenance qualifications (SMQ) and task tables. Users can add or remove
13-2
1 Feb 2021
personnel, assign or remove SMQs, and make work center personnel assignments. It also provides
the capability to view aircrew data.
13.1.1.3.2 The Mid-Tier provides the link for passing data from the Foundation Tier to the Top-Tier
and receives data from baseline servers. It also provides temporary storage for data when
connectivity to the Top Tier is lost.
NOTE: When an activity is required to shift from one Mid-Tier to another, the
relocating activity will change their Internet Protocol address. The Optimized
OMA System and Database Administration Guide provides detailed
instructions.
13.1.1.3.3 The Top Tier provides intermediate storage for data and the up-line link to the ADW
repository.
13.1.1.3.4 The Wholesale Foundation Tier (OMAWHOLE WHO, PAXRIVER) provides a storage
database and query capability to support movement of components from I-level to D-level or to
vendors and their return to the retail system. It also provides data storage for stricken aircraft and
NALCOMIS aircraft transferred to non-NALCOMIS activities.

13.1.4 Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA)

13.1.4.1 Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) is used by organizational level
and intermediate level Navy and Marine Corps activities. OOMA interfaces with Optimized
Intermediate Maintenance Activity (OIMA) for requisition requirements, requisition status,
requisition queries, turn-in Work Order (WO) data, and ALS (Automated Logset) data. This
integration of O-level and I-level maintenance and supply data into a common database reduces
redundancy, improves communication, and improves response time between the O-level, I-level,
and supporting supply activities. IMAs use OOMA to perform Configuration Status Accounting for
aircraft engines, O-level peculiar SE, personnel management baselines, and TD documentation.
13.1.4.2 The OOMA application is grouped into seven subsystems and an ad hoc query utility:
a. Flight Subsystem. This subsystem captures and tracks the type and amount of flight time
against aircrew and aircraft, and keeps track of training for the flight crews.
b. Configuration Management and Logs & Records Subsystem. This subsystem offers tools to
manage aircraft and component configuration. It provides an accurate listing of all components on
the aircraft, maintains the history record of configuration items, forecast upcoming scheduled
maintenance for an organization's end items, and tracks all changes and technical directives
incorporated into a component. It also has the capability to track aircraft material condition through
XRAY Reporting.
c. Maintenance Subsystem. This subsystem enables personnel to document scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance against aircraft and end items. It lists parts and maintenance actions
required to fix discrepancies, track tools and personnel accountability.
d. Material Control Subsystem. This subsystem enables Material Control personnel to add,
delete and update information in the Material Control Register. The Material Control Register
appears in situations that place material requisitions on order, update status, to reject or transmit
these requisitions to OIMA.
e. Personnel Subsystem. This subsystem enables authorized personnel to add or remove
personnel, to assign or remove roles and permissions, and to assign work centers for personnel. It
also allows authorized users to view and update crew data, as well as time and landing history for
aircrew personnel.
f. Platform Software Interface Subsystem. This subsystem permits transfer of information from
systems onboard "smart" aircraft directly into OOMA.
g. Technical Publications Subsystem. Reserved for future use.
h. Ad Hoc Query Utility. This utility provides the ability to create reports for specific needs.
Ad Hoc Query reports may be compiled from data resident in various databases, for example,
aviation 3M reports, flight reports, trend analysis, manpower utilization, user login ID and special
maintenance qualification (SMQ) assignments, and specific workload reports.

13.1.5 Optimized Intermediate Maintenance Activity (OIMA)

13.1.5.1 OIMA is the primary management information system used by intermediate level Navy
and Marine Corps aviation activities. OIMA provides the capability to enter, collect, process, store,
review, and report maintenance and supply information related to engine and SE repair, material
requisition, repairable management, awaiting parts (AWP) management, personnel assignment and
deployment, subcustody of equipment, use of resources, and additional miscellaneous functions
required by the IMA and supply department Aviation Support Division (ASD). These functions are
integrated into one system sharing a common database of IMA and ASD maintenance and supply
data, which reduces redundancy, improves communication, and improves response time. Internal
communications among users in the IMA and ASD are accomplished through on-line mailbox and
hard copy report notices.
13.1.5.2 OIMA interfaces with OOMA to establish a link between the IMA and the O-level
Material Control and the supporting ASD, and to exchange maintenance data used to process work
requests. This OIMA-OOMA interface provides the O-level with the ability to query supply related
functions. OIMA also interfaces with Navy supply information management systems to exchange
maintenance and supply data via real time electronic data exchange or batch processing.
13.2 OOMA and OIMA System Administration
13.2.1 Introduction

database as reflected against the local supply systems, for example, R-supply. Perform utility
programs (as required).
l. Implement the contingency procedures of the NIWC Contingency Manual in the event of a
system failure or down time.
13.2.4 Marine Corps Aviation Logistics Information Management and Support (ALIMS)
Department. Marine Corps Application Administrator/Analyst (MOS 6049) personnel are assigned
to ALIMS departments to provide support for OOMA/OIMA hardware, network, connectivity,
database integrity, and user rights (SMQs) and privileges up to and including workstation operating
system login. ALIMS specialist duties include installing, implementing, managing, monitoring, and
sustaining aviation information systems (AIS). The ALIMS Department will support deployed
network installation and configuration in direct support of NALCOMIS and associated systems.
MCO 2020.1 provides the standardized policy and procedures for ALIMS operations.
13.3 Detachment Processing
13.3.1 Introduction. Detachment processing consists of two types, same organizational (ORG)
code and different ORG code. Same ORG code processing includes all temporary detachments
deployed by the O-level. Different ORG code processing applies to permanent detachment
operations, where detachments are assigned different ORG codes and PUCs. OOMA can set up
detachment ORG codes using the Separate ORG code or Multiple ORG code detachment capability.
Refer to OMA-SAG for set up processes.
13.3.2 Same Organization Code Detachments. For same organization code detachments,
processing AIRS, DECKPLATE, aviation 3M, flight data, and aircrew data documentation is the
responsibility of the parent O-level activity.
13.3.3 Different Organization Code Detachments. Within different organization code
detachments, the aircraft, assets and personnel are lost from the parent O-level's custody and gained
by the detachment. The parent activity may assign detachment work center codes using the standard
maintenance organization work center codes for large detachments or identify a single work center
for detachments with four or less aircraft, for example, Det 1 = WC 361, Det 2 = WC 362, Det
10=WC 36A. Different organization code detachments can be further subdivided into two groups:
13-12
1 Feb 2021
a. Nonactivated. Nonactivated different organization code detachments will report under the
organization code and PUC of the parent O-level activity. The O-level will use standard
organization relationships; one Maintenance Control responsible for the efforts of all work centers
including detachment work centers. The parent O-level activity will process all AIRS,
DECKPLATE, aviation 3M and NAVFLIRS documentation through the local NIWC Atlantic,
including all nonactivated detachment documentation.
b. Activated. Activated different organization code detachments will report under their own
ORG and PUC. The detachment will retain the work center code previously assigned by the parent
O-level activity. Processing of AIRS, DECKPLATE, aviation 3M, and NAVFLIRS documentation
is the responsibility of the activated detachment. Activated detachments will forward
documentation to the appropriate NIWC Atlantic.

CHAPTER 14
Naval Aviation Maintenance Data System (MDS); Maintenance Data Reports (MDR); Data
Analysis; Aviation Maintenance Metrics
14.1 Naval Aviation Maintenance Data System (MDS)

14.1.1 Purpose
14.1.1.1 The Maintenance Data System (MDS) is the principal means of collecting naval
aviation maintenance and material management (AV-3M) source data. The MDS is sponsored
by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). Technical support for the MDS is provided by
NAVWARINFOCEN (NIWC) Norfolk, VA, and COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Enterprise Services
Division, as described in 13.1.2.3.
14.1.1.2 The MDS provides data products and management tools to enable management
decisions.
a. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Program Offices use MDS data to:
(1) Analyze high system failures and high man-hour consuming maintenance actions by
specific weapon system.
(2) Identify needed product improvements.
(3) Analyze inspection results as a basis for adjusting inspection criteria and intervals.
(4) Adjust component scheduled removal intervals.
(5) Improve I-level repair capabilities.
(6) Identify and analyze failed items under warranty.
(7) Establish realistic manning factors.
(8) Determine and justify the need for modifications and engineering changes.
(9) Establish equipment reliability factors.
(10) Determine tooling and equipment requirements.
(11) Predict probable failures through trend analysis.
(12) Determine the status of compliance with Technical Directives (TD).
(13) Determine material cost and availability.
(14) Analyze aircraft and equipment mission capability and utilization.
(15) Determine maintenance and material processing times.
(16) Determine and justify funding requirements.
14-1
1 Feb 2021
b. TYCOM, Type Wing, Marine Air Wing (MAW), operational staffs, and maintenance
activities use MDS data to identify:
(1) High man-hour per operating hour equipment (by SERNO or type equipment).
(2) Man-hours lost to cannibalization and removal of items to facilitate other maintenance
(FOM).
(3) Areas with skill or training deficiencies.
(4) Efficient or inefficient use of manpower.
(5) Items with high failure rates.
(6) Inadequate troubleshooting.
(7) Reasons for ground and in-flight aborts.
(8) High usage and high cost items.
(9) TD compliance status.
14.1.2 Scope
Compliance with MDS reporting is mandatory for all Navy and Marine Corps O and I level
aviation maintenance activities unless specifically exempted by CNO or Commander Naval Air
Forces (CNAF). Compliance with MDS also includes activities operating or maintaining
Cognizance Symbol 2O aviation training equipment, as described in NAVSUP Publication 485
Volume II. Subordinate operating or systems commands are not authorized to impose additional
maintenance data collection requirements on fleet activities or to modify the procedures
contained in this chapter without the prior approval of CNAF.
14.1.3 Data Sources
14.1.3.1 As illustrated in Figure 14-1, the MDS receives data from four interrelated sources:
Maintenance Data Reports (MDR), Subsystem Capability Impact Reporting (SCIR), Material
Reports (MR), and Naval Flight Record Subsystem (NAVFLIRS).
14.1.3.2 The data for Maintenance Data Reports (MDR) is derived from Work Orders (WO) and
Maintenance Action Forms (MAF). Refer to 14.3 for detailed information on various MDRs.
14.1.3.3 Subsystem Capability Impact Reporting (SCIR) provides information on aircraft and
aircraft subsystem performance per the procedures of 9.2. The degradation of equipment
mission capability is reported by recording EOC codes in the Repair Cycle and Maintenance or
Supply Record sections of the WO. EOC codes are documented when a specific system or
subsystem impacts the mission capability of that equipment.
14.1.3.4 Material Reports (MR) derive information on repairable component usage data
extracted from DD 1348 Material Requisitions. MRs merge data elements of maintenance and
supply and are provided to supply activities and intermediate maintenance activities (IMA) when
requested. MR information permits management to relate material usage to weapon systems and
14-2
1 Feb 2021
components, by activity and by maintenance level, and to determine material expenditures, by

level of maintenance.
14.1.3.5 Naval Flight Record Subsystem (NAVFLIRS) provides aircraft utilization data, such as
flight hours, landings, and catapults, and aircrew information. NAVFLIRS data is obtained from
Naval Flight Records (OPNAV Form 3710/4) (commonly referred to as NAVFLIRs) which are
completed by the pilot or aircraft mission commander at the end of a flight, series of flights,
cancellation of a flight, or aircraft simulator training.
14.1.4 Codes
14.1.4.1 MDS codes may consist of one or more letters, numbers, or a combination of both.
Codes composed entirely of letters are referred to as alpha codes. Codes composed entirely of
numbers are referred to as numeric codes. Codes composed a combination of letters and
numbers are referred to as alphanumeric codes. Codes in which the letters or numbers are
arranged in a systematic pattern are referred to as structured codes.
14.1.4.2 Some codes, such as work center codes, have the flexibility of allowing for additional
structuring to meet local management needs. Some codes are used in combination with other
information identifiers for control and other purposes, for example, a Job Control Number (JCN)
is a combination of the organization code, the Julian calendar date, and a sequence number. A
list of the various codes peculiar to this system is in Figure 14-2.
14.1.4.3 Codes may not be altered locally. COMNAVAIRFOR (N422D) controls the codes
used in this system, with the exception of aircraft status codes, Total Mission Requirements
(TMR) codes, Work Unit Codes (WUC), Type Equipment Codes (TEC), Assembly Codes (Assy
CD), and Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) codes. Aircraft status codes are listed in
Appendix E, TMR codes are listed in OPNAVINST 3710.7, WUCs, TECs, and Assy CDs are
managed by COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department, EOC codes are listed in the
applicable T/M/S aircraft MESM.
14.1.5 Quantitative Data
14.1.5.1 Quantitative data is collected to the nearest tenth unless otherwise specified. When the
final result of the data calculation must be displayed to the nearest whole number, the data points
will be in one decimal place during calculation and the result will be rounded up or down.
Results ending in .5 or greater will be rounded up, and results ending in .4 or less will be rounded
down. Example of a calculation using data collected to the nearest tenth with final result
displayed to the nearest whole number: 2.6 + 2.6 = 5.2, which is then rounded down to = 5.
(Incorrect: 2.6 + 2.6 = 3 + 3 = 6.)
14.1.5.2 Calculations for units occurring in whole numbers only (aircraft, engines, personnel,
etc.) will be carried to the nearest whole number. Example of calculating the average number of
aircraft assigned over a 5 day period: (10 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 10)/5 = 47/5 = 9.4, which is then
rounded down to = 9.

14.1.6 Data Accuracy

14.1.6.1 The integrity of the MDS depends on accurate documentation. The importance of
accurate and complete documentation cannot be overstated in consideration of the Navy wide
use of MDS. Each instance of erroneous documentation results in a loss of the effectiveness of
the MDS as a management tool for the purposes described in 14.1.1.2.
14.1.6.2 Accurate MDS data must be a command-wide concern. All personnel in the
Maintenance Department must strive for absolute accuracy.
a. Commanding Officers must foster a sense of personal responsibility for data accuracy in
every member of the command, including emphasis on the responsibility of aircrew to accurately
document NAVFLIR flight information and provide detailed WO information of discrepancies
they note before, during, or after flight.
b. Maintenance Officers must routinely review MDRs and direct corrective actions when
data errors are noted.
c. Maintenance Material Control Officers and Production Control Officers are directly
responsible for the accuracy of WO/MAF data and all other MDS source documents generated
by the maintenance department.
d. QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs are responsible for ensuring the data is accurate at the time
they certify inspection on the WO/MAF.
e. Work Center Supervisors are responsible for the accuracy of WOs/MAFs generated by
their work center.
f. System Administrator/Analysts (SA/A) have a critical role in data integrity.
(1) Verifying their activity’s system is connected to the network and MDS source
documents are replicating to the NALCOMIS top-tier and DECKPLATE.
(2) Validating the accuracy of all maintenance reports prior to submission to
DECKPLATE and ensuring maintenance reports are submitted on time.
(3) Reviewing MDRs and other data products produced by the MDS for accuracy.
(4) Improving data accuracy by identifying error trends and providing training on
deficient areas to maintenance department personnel.
14.1.6.3 COMNAVAIRSYSCOM program offices are responsible for providing information via
naval message or other means when they detect a common data error trend in the aircraft or
equipment they are responsible for managing.
14.1.7 Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation
(DECKPLATE)
14.1.7.1 COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department maintains DECKPLATE, which is the
authoritative aviation data warehouse (ADW) for the MDS. Assistance with DECKPLATE is
14-4
1 Feb 2021
available from the COMNAVAIRSYSCOM National Help Desk via email

(nav_helpdesk.fct@navy.mil) or phone (888-292-5919 or 301-342-3104). All activities
submitting MDS data must provide COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department with a point
of contact for problems with data exchange. Contact information must include activity, code or
position, telephone number and extension, and, if desired, the individual's name.
14.1.7.2 Figure 14-3 illustrates the process for collecting DECKPLATE data from the following
systems:
a. Aircraft Inventory and Readiness Reporting System (AIRRS) (Chapter 9). DECKPLATE
receives a quarterly data extract from AIRRS histories and a daily extract of XRAY and flight
summary data (RT-79).
b. Configuration Management Information System (CMIS). DECKPLATE receives CMIS
data by WUC structures.
c. Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS). DECKPLATE receives FLIS part number
cross reference and cost data for consumables and SMICs for NAVAIR modification kits.
d. Naval Supply Weapons System Support (NAVSUP WSS). DECKPLATE receives
Uniform Inventory Control Point (UICP) Tier II direct connect for part number cross reference
and cost repairable assets are performed monthly. Also performed daily for UICP NAVAIR
modification kit requisition sales orders, stock point transactions, and managed inventory.
e. NALCOMIS Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) and Optimized
Intermediate Maintenance Activity (OIMA) maintenance and flight data is submitted to
DECKPLATE each day. Up-line submission to DECKPLATE is accomplished by data
replication. DECKPLATE receives the data in the form of reproduced (replicated) OOMA Work
Orders (WO) and OIMA Maintenance Action Forms (MAF) generated by maintenance activities
and processed through their supporting NIWC ATLANTIC site.
f.. Engine Management. DECKPLATE is the primary information source for engine
management. DECKPLATE enables inventory tracking and management of aircraft engines and
engine modules, and provides timely data on Engine/Propulsion Systems Module (EPSM) status,
location, and condition. DECKPLATE replicates engine/module data twice each day.
g. Technical Directive Reporting System (TDRS). TDRS provides TD information via the
TD/KIT Management Module. Users access the TD Management section to add, change, and
update TDs. Kit Item Managers use the Kit Management section to manage kit issuance, receipt,
and tracking.
NOTE: In the event of machine or software failure at NIWC Atlantic, transactions will be
backlogged until service is restored. Accordingly, no special consideration, such
as backup modes, is necessary. Programs should contain adequate safeguards
against accidental file destruction because no redundant or backup base is
employed.
14-5
1 Feb 2021
14.1.7.3 DECKPLATE stores MDS data indefinitely. Data can be retrieved by using Ad Hoc
(when necessary or needed) capability on the local system and by downloading the standardized
reports described in paragraphs 14.2.3.1 through 14.2.3.32.
14.2 Maintenance Data Reports (MDR)
14.2.1 Purpose
MDRs provide standardized reports of information collected in the MDS. MDR data is derived
from active and completed WOs, MAFs, and Naval Aircraft Flight Record (OPNAV 3710/4).
MAINT-1 through MAINT-6 MDRs are prepared at the end of each month and posted to
DECKPLATE (https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/#/). Ad hoc reports (14.2.3) may be run from
DECKPLATE at any time.
14.2.2 Standard Reports
NOTES: 1. When report examples are for both O-level and I-level, the work center codes
in the example report starts with an "X". The report downloaded from
DECKPLATE will contain the actual work center codes.
2. NALCOMIS OOMA and OIMA activities can use ad hoc capabilities on their
local system or the standardized reports available in DECKPLATE.
3. MAINT-1 through MAINT-6 Reports may not match Foundation Tier reports
due to detachment data or inventory corrections incorporated in up-line
reporting.
4. METCAL data is not collected in MDS. METCAL data can be accessed using
MEASURE software on the TMDE Lab’s MEASURE terminal. A list of
METCAL reports is available in the MEASURE Software User’s Manual.
14.2.2.1 Consolidated Performance Metrics (MAINT-1 Report)
a. The MAINT-1 report (Figure 14-4) is produced for each Assembly Cd when more than
one aircraft type/model/series (T/M/S) is assigned to provide separation among type aircraft
maintained during the reporting period. An overall organizational report is produced to reveal
aggregated squadron metrics. Data for the MAINT-1 is extracted from WOs and Naval Aircraft
Flight Records (OPNAV 3710/4) and flight documents submitted during the reporting period.
NOTE: WOs with Transaction Code (TRCODE) 30, 31, 32, or 39 and all Type
Maintenance (TM) codes that are equal to F, but not equal to TRCODE 72 are not
used in MAINT-1.
b. The MAINT-1 report contains the following data:
(1) Total number of hours aircraft were In Service (Total EIS)
(2) Average number of aircraft in service.
(3) Average aircraft readiness (MC/FMC).
(4) Impact of maintenance and supply on aircraft readiness (NMCS/M and PMCS/M).
14-6

(5) Total flight hours.

(6) Total number of flights.
(7) Average number of flight hours per aircraft (Average Utilization).
(8) Average flight hours per flight (Average flight duration).
(9) Total number of cannibalization actions.
(10) Total man hours documented for cannibalizations.
(11) Average cannibalization actions per 100 flight hours.
(12) Total number of A-799 (No Defect) maintenance actions.
(13) Total man hours used for A-799 (No Defect) maintenance actions.
(14) Total number of discrepant items received from Supply (Discovered Code Y).
(15) Total Direct Maintenance Man Hours (DMMH).
(16) Average DMMH per aircraft.
(17) Total man hours used for corrosion prevention.
(18) Total man hours used for corrosion treatment.
(19) Total flight hours performed from a ship.
(20) Total number of flights from a ship.
(21) Total number of flights aborted before flight.
(22) Total number of flights aborted during flight.
c. MAINT-1 report fields:
(1) TOTAL EIS: Sum total EIS hours for each aircraft maintained. For the purpose of
this calculation the count begins on the date and time an aircraft is gained and the count ends at
2400 on the last day of each report or on the date and time an aircraft is transferred or lost.
(2) AVG Aircraft: The average number of aircraft available, based on total accumulated
EIS hours. Formula:
AVG Aircraft = TOTAL EIS HRS
# DAYS IN MONTH X 24
NOTE: The following readiness percentages are computed using total accumulated EIS
hours during the reporting period. Hours while in an Out of Reporting (OOR)
status are not used.
(3) MC%: The percentage of all aircraft that were capable of performing at least one, but
not all missions. Formula:
14-7
1 Feb 2021
MC% = TOTAL EIS HRS - (NMCS + NMCM) HRS X 100

TOTAL EIS HRS
(4) FMC%: The percentage of all aircraft that were capable of performing all missions.
Formula:
FMC% = TOTAL EIS HRS - (NMCS + NMCM + PMC) X 100
HRS
TOTAL EIS HRS
(5) NMCM%, NMCS%, PMCM%, PMCS%: Aircraft system degradation, as a
percentage of time impacted in any of the listed categories. Formula:
SELECTED CATEGORY % = TOTAL (SELECTED CATEGORY) X 100
HRS
TOTAL EIS HRS
(6) FLTHRS: Total number of flight hours accumulated from Naval Aircraft Flight

high man-hour consumers compared to other aircraft.
d. Typical factors that cause fluctuations in DMMH/FLTHR:
(1) A reduction of flying hours will not always result in an immediate and corresponding
drop in maintenance (a high index may result).
(2) Shortening the sortie length can materially reduce the total hours flown while
maintenance remains stable (a high index may result).
(3) Lengthy maintenance actions, such as major Phase inspections and in-depth
modifications, ground the aircraft and may consume a substantial number of man-hours (a high
index may result).
(4) Decreased maintenance may occur as the result of reduced inspection requirements,
improvements in work methods or facilities, etc., while flying hours remain stable (a lower index
may result).
(5) An increase in total flying hours will not always result in additional maintenance (a
lower index may result).

14.3 MDS Analysis Products
14-18
1 Feb 2021
14.3.1 Introduction
The MDS provides the ability to analyze the performance of a single activity, aircraft, or system,
and the aggregated performance of the entire population. This section discusses typical analysis
products.
14.3.2 Job average (Direct Maintenance Man Hours (DMMH) per job)
a. Purpose: Analysis of the job average (the average number of man-hours required to
accomplish a specific job) is often used in conjunction with manning studies, workload
scheduling, and similar managerial applications. Job averages may be limited to the man-hours
contributed by a single work center or include the man-hours documented by all work centers.
b. Sources of Data: DP-0033/DP-0034.
c. The following describes a typical method of computing a job average when only one work
center and one maintenance action are involved:
(1) The WUC, AT code, and MAL code defining the job will be determined locally.
(2) Using the DP-0033/DP-0034, extract the items processed and man-hours shown on all
lines listed for the specific job (Columns WUC, AT, MAL, IP, and MHRS).
(3) To compute job average, divide the total man-hours by the total items processed. To
ensure best results, data for an extended period should be used.
14.3.3 High Man-hour, Maintenance Action, and Failure Rate Items
a. Purpose: Analysis of items that consume the most man-hours, require the highest number
of maintenance actions (items processed), or have a high failure rate may reveal material
deficiencies, improper maintenance practices or lack of personnel proficiency.
b. Sources of Data: DP-0033/DP-0034.
c. Extraction of Data.
(1) High Man-hour Consumers. Select the five systems that consumed the highest
number of man-hours. To do this, compare each total for subsystem line on the DP-0033/DP-
0034. The DP-0034 report sorts by WUC in rank order from highest man-hours to lowest man-
hours.
(2) High Maintenance Action Items. Select the five systems with the highest number of
items processed. From each of these systems, select the five WUCs with the highest number of
IP.
(3) High Failure Rate Items. To identify high failure rate items, it is first necessary to
eliminate data on non-failure entries as indicated by the AT and MAL codes listed below. After
eliminating non-failure items, select the five high systems by comparing system totals. From
these five systems, select the five high WUCs (items) by comparing the items processed totals
obtained for each WUC (Columns WUC, AT, MAL, and IP). The DP-0033 report sorts by part
number in rank order from highest NMC and PMC impact to lowest NMC and PMC impact.
14-19
1 Feb 2021
d. Special Instructions:
(1) The actual number of systems and items to be extracted will be governed by the needs
of management. The high-five selection outlined in this manual is only one of the many
combinations that may be used.
(2) All duplicate entries for the same failure must be lined out.
(3) A list of non-failure codes is as follows (Appendix E contains the complete code
lists):
(a) AT Code A, D, J, L, N, P, Q, S, T, and Y.
(b) MAL Code 799, 800, 801, 804, 805, 806, 807, 811, 812, 813, 814, 815, 816, 817,
and 818.
(4) Extracted data are normally provided to management in a tabular format. Items may
be sequenced by magnitude of man-hours or items processed within their respective system.
Descriptive terminology, part numbers or CAGE may be used in lieu of the WUC.
14.3.4 Component Reliability Trends
a. Purpose: Analysis of The reliability of components and parts of components can be
determined by the use of DECKPLATE reports. Using the reports and analyzing the data
contained within, it is possible to compare the number of failures documented for a specific
component or its parts to a computed control limit and thus identify items having an excessive
rate of failure. Corrective measures to lower the failure rate for these items should then be
started by management.
b. Sources of Data. DP-0033/DP-0034.
c. Further purification of data contained in the DP-0033 or DP-0034 should not be required.
Items Processed is used in the report and includes verified failure information by either P/N or
WUC respectively.
14.3.5 Cannibalization Trend
a. Cannibalization Trending provides information on the extent of cannibalization, identifies
the aircraft or equipment or parts involved, and provides detail on man-hours expended for
cannibalization actions. The cannibalization man-hours per flight hour figure, when compared to
the direct maintenance man-hour per flight hour figure, indicates the additional cost in man-
hours attributed to cannibalization.
b. Sources of Data: MAINT-6/DP-0017/DP-0041
(1) Cannibalization Trend:
(a) To obtain the total items cannibalized, select the total items processed for AT
Code T or select MAL Codes 812, 813, 814, 815, 816, 817 and 818 (MAINT-6).
(b) To obtain the total man-hours spent in cannibalization, select total man-hours
listed for AT Code T (Columns AT and MHRS, on MAINT-6).
14-20
1 Feb 2021
(c) To obtain cannibalization man-hours per flight hour divide total man-hours
expended due to cannibalization by TOTAL FLIGHT HOUR (BUNO total hours on DP-
0017/DP-0041).
c. Cannibalization Summary. To identify items cannibalized, extract WUC, TEC,
BU/SERNO, items processed, man-hours, CAGE, and part number for all lines containing AT
Code T (Columns WUC, TEC, BU/SERNO, AT, Items/P, MHRS, MFG, and part on the DP-
0017/DP-0041).
d. Examination of Data.
(1) A review of trend chart will show overall status of cannibalization within activity.
(2) Data in the summary are used to identify specific items cannibalized, quantity of each
type item involved, which type items are repeats, and equipment from which items were
removed.
(3) Any increase in rate of cannibalization should be of immediate concern to
management. Those items that are frequently cannibalized merit special investigation to
determine the cause.
(4) Special Instructions.
(a) The cannibalization summary may be modified to include additional data.
(b) Include comments on significant problem areas discovered during analysis.
14.3.6 Abort Malfunctions
a. This chart is designed to show which aircraft failed to fulfill their scheduled mission
(abort) because of malfunctioning equipment. It identifies, for management, aircraft
systems/components causing aborts, number of items involved, and when abort malfunctions
occurred (before or in flight).
b. Sources of Data: MAINT-6.
c. Extraction of Data.
(1) Select WD Codes A and C from the MAINT-6 query menu.
(2) Use only those lines containing the applicable TEC.
(3) Section I - When Malfunctions Occurred:
(a) Total abort malfunctions. Sum of items processed with WD Codes A and C.
(b) Before flight-abort. The sum of IP with WD Code A.
(c) In flight-abort. The sum of IP with WD Code C.
(4) Section II - Malfunction by System. To obtain these figures, determine number of IP
with WD Codes A and C within each system. The system is identified by first two positions of
the WUC.
14-21
1 Feb 2021
(5) Section III - Maintenance Required.

(a) Required maintenance. The sum of IP with WD Codes A and C except those
listed in conjunction with AT Code A.
(b) Required no maintenance. The sum of IP with WD Codes A and C listed in
conjunction with AT Code A.
d. Examination of Data.
(1) This summary does not identify the number of aircraft aborts occurring during the
reporting period. The figures represent only the reported number of items (or malfunctions)
involved in aborts. In some cases, more than one item or malfunction will be attributed to the
same abort. Weather and other factors may also cause aborts, hence, the apparent inconsistency.
(2) Possible trouble areas may be revealed by study of the data. For example, a high
number of malfunctions discovered before flight may indicate inadequate turnaround
inspections; numerous defects in a certain system may point out a need for engineering changes;
and a substantial number of reported malfunctions that require no maintenance may be an
indication of poor troubleshooting or improper equipment operation.
14.3.7 Maintenance Man-hours by Bureau Number
a. This information enables maintenance managers to determine which aircraft required a
large amount of direct maintenance man-hours, and what type of maintenance was performed.
b. Source of Data: MAINT-5.
c. Extraction of Data. Further data extraction is not required when using the MAINT-5
report. This report computes DMMH per flight hour automatically by BUNO.
14.3.8 Maintenance Man-hours Per Flying Hour and Sortie Chart
a. In this paragraph are guidelines for computing the number of maintenance man-hours
required to produce a single flying hour or sortie for a given type of aircraft. These man-hour
figures, or factors, may be developed for individual work centers or an entire squadron
maintenance department. The same method of computation will apply to each.
b. Sources of Data: MAINT-5 or MAINT-6
(1) Total hours flown. Total flight hours listed for the selected type aircraft from the FH
column on the MAINT-5.
(2) Total sorties flown. Total flights listed for the selected type aircraft from the FLT
column on the MAINT-5.
(3) Maintenance Man-Hours Expended.
(a) For a work center, the sum of production man-hours listed for the TEC identifying
the selected type of aircraft. The MAINT-6 report can be run for a single work center (if
required).
14-22
1 Feb 2021
(b) For a squadron maintenance department, the total production man-hours listed for
the TEC identifying the selected type of aircraft.
(4) Computation of maintenance man-hours per flying hour and sortie. To obtain the
maintenance man-hours per flying hour and sortie, use the following formulas:
Total Maintenance Man-hours
= Maintenance Man-hours Per Flying Hour
Total Hours Flown
Total Maintenance Man-hours

= Maintenance Man-hours Per Sortie
Total Sorties Flown
c. Examination of Data.
(1) Maintenance man-hour per flying hour figure is generally employed as an index of
cost, in terms of maintenance, of supporting an hour of aircraft flight (the lower the index, the
lower the man-hour cost).
(2) Typical factors that may cause fluctuations in the maintenance man-hour per flying
hour figure are:
(a) A reduction in flying hours (a high index may result due to fewer flight hours to
disperse the man hours expended on special inspections, and fewer flight-hour based
inspections).
(b) An increase in flying hours (a lower index may result due to more flight hours to
disperse the man hours expended on special inspections, or a higher index could occur due to
increased hourly-based inspections).
(c) Shortening the sortie length can materially reduce the total hours flown while
maintenance remains stable (a high index may result).
(d) Unforeseen maintenance, such as airframe or engine modification, can ground the
aircraft and at the same time cause increased maintenance (a high index may result).
(e) Decreased maintenance may occur as the result of reduced inspection
requirements, improvements in work methods or facilities, etc., while flying hours remain stable
(a lower index may result).
(f) An increase in total flying hours will not always necessitate additional
maintenance (a lower index may result).
(3) The maintenance man-hours per sortie can be used essentially in the same manner as
described for flying hours. Fluctuations in this man-hour figure can result from increases or
decreases in sorties flown, changes in sortie length, unforeseen maintenance, and similar factors.

14.3.9 Awaiting Maintenance (AWM) Reason Code Summary

a. An AWM Reason Code Summary is designed to show the various AWM codes by reason.
It provides the manager with an overall picture of where and how much time was consumed
awaiting maintenance.
c. Extraction of Data. The MAINT-3 report provides EOC Code, WUC and all associated
man-hours including a break-down of each AWM Code and associated man-hours.
d. Special Instructions. The MAINT-3 report lists total hours AWM by EOC and associated
WUC, and total number of hours for each AWM Code is displayed.
14.3.10 Mission Capability Degradation Summary
a. The Mission Capability Degradation Summary reflects the degradation of mission
capability by maintenance condition. This data will provide managers of equipment the reasons
equipment was NMC, that is, NMCMS, NMCMU, or NMCS.
b. Sources of Data: MAINT-2 and MAINT-3.
(1) The MAINT-3 shows the maintenance conditions that impaired the mission capability
of the equipment for that reporting period, based on the EIS hours.
(2) Total SCIR hours column denotes the total hours documented to a valid EOC by
WUC. The SCIR system has the capability to include all discrepancies that impact the mission
capability of equipment; therefore, the total SCIR hours column may be greater than the aircraft
in service hours column which shows the total EIS hours. Enter appropriate comments, as
required, to explain the data.
14.3.11 Mission Capability Trend
a. The Mission Capability Trend may be used to portray equipment mission capabilities.
14.3.12 Repair of Removed Components

CHAPTER 15
Organizational Level (O-Level) Maintenance Documentation Procedures
15.1 Introduction
15.1.1 This chapter provides detailed documentation procedures applicable to Naval Aviation
Logistics Command Management Information System Optimized Organizational Maintenance
Activity (NALCOMIS OOMA) Work Orders (Figure 15-1). NALCOMIS OOMA is a management
tool that provides essential, real time information on a continuing basis through online visual
electronic display (VED) and reports. The system correlates aircraft status information, particularly
NMC or PMC, flyable discrepancies, non aircraft-related discrepancies, for example, ALSS status,
SE status, mission mounted equipment (MME) status, and assigns a relative importance to each
item. The ability to review the overall situation and determine the resources available enables
maintenance managers to carry out their duties more effectively and efficiently.
15-v
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: To be concise, NALCOMIS OOMA is referred to as OOMA, and OOMA Work
Orders are referred to as Work Orders or WO throughout this chapter.
15.1.2 Work Orders (WO) are used to document the following maintenance actions performed by
organizational level (O-level) activities:
a. Scheduled maintenance and modifications required to keep aircraft, serial numbered
equipment, and components in operable condition.
b. Inspections, including special (scheduled) inspections and unscheduled (on-condition)
inspections (acceptance, transfer, conditional, etc.). The performance of the inspection is commonly
referred to as the “look” phase of the inspection, and the repair actions related to the findings of the
inspection are commonly referred to as the “fix” phase of the inspection.
c. Unscheduled maintenance requirements (discrepancies), including when and how the
discrepancy was discovered
d. Corrective actions taken to resolve the maintenance requirements, including determined
malfunctions
e. Parts and material requirements used to perform maintenance and correct discrepancies
f. Status of the maintenance action (In work, Awaiting Maintenance, Awaiting Parts, Complete)
g. Accumulated man hours and elapsed maintenance time to complete maintenance, including
inspection and troubleshooting time
h. Who performed and who inspected the maintenance
i. Readiness (up, down, partial mission capable) and inventory status of aircraft, including data
used for Subsystem Capability Impact Reporting (SCIR) and Aircraft Inventory Readiness
Reporting System (AIRRS) per Chapter 9.
j. Removal and replacement of installed components for any reason, including cannibalization.
k. On-equipment work not involving removal of defective or suspected defective repairables.
l. Maintenance performed by an assisting work center in support of a primary work center
m. Incorporation of Technical Directives (TD) and associated maintenance actions
n. Removal or installation of system components for mission configuration changes
o. Parts ordered and issued
p. Preservation and depreservation
q. O-level maintenance in support of D-level maintenance actions
r. Weapons support functions
s. Assistance from an I-level maintenance activity for actions that do not involve repair.
Examples:
15-6
1 Feb 2021
(1) I-level non-destructive inspection (NDI) performed either on-site or at the I-level activity,
when a TD is not involved.
(2) Check, test, service, local manufacture, or fabrication of items removed from aircraft,
equipment, or SE for scheduled maintenance when the requirement is beyond the capability of the
requesting O-level activity.
NOTE: Work requests for check, test, service, and local manufacture or fabrication must be
approved and signed by the requesting activity's Maintenance Control and the
supporting activity's Production Control.
(3) Induction of Aviation Life Support Systems (ALSS) equipment for I-level check, test,
and service, for example, aviator personal equipment, oxygen masks, life preservers, and parachutes.
(4) Induction of items stocked by the Supply Department for I-level check, test, service or
buildup, such as engines, Quick Engine Change Kits (QECK), and tire and wheel assemblies.
(5) Induction of items for check, test, and ready for issue certification prior to reinstallation
in aircraft returned from standard rework.
(6) Induction of items for incorporation of I-level Technical Directives (TD)

a. WO data entry will be made only by personnel that have been granted OOMA Special
Maintenance Qualification (SMQ) privileges. Personnel with SMQ privileges will only perform the
WO functions they are authorized and currently designated to perform.
NOTE: Maintenance personnel with inspector SMQs in their profile such as CDI or QAR will
only have the designated work centers listed on their qualifications via ASM.
b. Data will be entered per the procedures of this instruction and the OOMA Users Guide
(OMA-UG).
15.2.2 Maintenance Control
a. Maintenance Control will review the WO for correct and complete annotation prior to
approving the WO for automatic population in the Aircraft Automated Discrepancy Book (AADB)
and Work Center Workload Report.
NOTE: Maintenance Control has the option to modify all fields of the WO except BUNO,
Assembly Cd, and TM. Per 9.5, Maintenance Control must validate the correct EOC
code and U/P/D status has been applied per the T/M/S Mission Essential Subsystem
Matrix (MESM).
b. When corrective action has been completed, Maintenance Control must review and approve
or reject the WO corrective action block. Upon approval of the completed WO, OOMA
automatically updates the AADB, where it will remain for 10 subsequent flights following the
15-7
1 Feb 2021
completion date. Once the WO is approved by Maintenance Control and waiting in the ALS Queue,
the Data Analyst must screen the WO and correct any errors, per the following steps:
(1) Click Online Processing.
(2) Select ALS Queue from the dropdown options.
(3) Double click on each Work Order one at a time.
(4) Screen each Work Order for accuracy, specifically WUC, WD, TM, MAL, SCIR
documentation, and logbook documentation requirements. Correct available fields as required.
(5) Once all data elements of the Work Order are verified for accuracy, click the Approve
button on the bottom right side of the Work Order.
NOTES: 1. All data elements not grayed out can be corrected at the Data Analyst level
2. The Configuration Management Auto Log-set (CM ALS) administrator will
review completed WOs and ensure CM ALS entries are complete per 8.6.
c. When parts or materials are required, Maintenance Control will assign the appropriate project
code and priority designator on the WO using the project or priority assignment online process. The
Material Request is electronically forwarded to Material Control's online DDSN assignment process.
The DOD 4140.1-R provides proper application of priority designators and NAVSUP Publication
485 project codes.
15.2.3 Work Center Supervisors. Each time a change of job status occurs, the Work Center
Supervisor must immediately update the WO.
15.2.4 WO Initiation
15.2.4.1 OOMA prompts the user to complete required data fields during WO initiation. The JCN
is automatically assigned when the WO is approved by Maintenance Control. The Type WO Code,
Assembly Cd, BUNO, T/M, MODEX, received date, and received time are prefilled. The received
date and time can be changed. Work center, discrepancy, initiator, WD code, and up, partial, or
down status field will be filled in prior to saving to the database.
15.2.4.2 WOs for scheduled maintenance will be initiated by Maintenance Control.
15.2.4.3 WOs for unscheduled maintenance will be initiated as soon as possible after the need for
maintenance is discovered.
a. WOs for unscheduled inspections (acceptance, transfer, conditional) will be initiated by
b. WOs to correct defects or damage will be initiated by the technician, pilot, or aircrew that
discovered the discrepancy.
c. WOs for discrepancies discovered by aircrew during pre-flight, in-flight, post-flight, between
flights, functional check-flight, and inspection (When Discovered code A, B, C, D, E, F, and P) will
15-8
1 Feb 2021
normally be initiated by the aircrew that discovered the discrepancy. The pilot or aircrew will
initiate a WO for each discrepancy, and annotate the following blocks:
(1) DISCREPANCY.
(2) PILOT/INITIATOR. The name and rank or rate of who wrote the WO.
(3) RECEIVED-DATE-TIME. The date and time the WO was written.
(4) BUNO.
(5) U/D/P. Select Up, Down, Partial status as appropriate to the end item status.
(6) DISCOVERED CODE. A, B, C, D, E, F, P as appropriate per Appendix E.
(7) EOC. Maintenance Control will assign the appropriate Equipment Operational
Capability (EOC) code per the T/M/S aircraft Mission Essential Subsystem Matrix (MESM), 9.4.
d. Upon completion of a flight, the pilot or aircrew initiates a WO for each discrepancy. For
discrepancies discovered by other than pilot or aircrew, the person who discovered the discrepancy
will initiate the WO. In the case of when discovered (WD) Code O, Maintenance Control will
initiate the WO. Corrosion Prevention WOs may be initiated by any pilot, aircrew, or maintenance
personnel.
15.2.5 WO Completion
a. Received. System automatically defaults to system date and time upon initiation. The
initiator has the capability to modify prefilled date and time prior to Maintenance Control approval.
b. In Work. System assigns prefilled date and time upon assignment of worker. This field is
modifiable.
c. Awaiting parts. AWP status requires an open supply requisition and the absence of In Work
status. Once a part is received, the default job status will be M3.
d. Completed. The job status code of JC and date and time are automatically applied when the
CDI/QA signs the Inspected by block. This field is modifiable. The computer displays the current
system time as the completion date and time, but also provides a pop-up window that advises the
CDI as to the earliest completion date and time that the WO can be modified to. The date and time
will not be able to be backdated prior to the last job status on the WO or the date and time on the
Removed/Installed records, whichever is later.
15.2.6 Work Order History
Completed WOs are stored in the local database for 12 months from the date of completion, and can
be viewed in the DECKPLATE Aviation Data Warehouse (ADW) indefinitely. Historical WOs are
associated to the aircraft by BUNO and to equipment by SERNO and are automatically transferred
with the aircraft and equipment database.
15.3 Work Order Data Fields
15-9
1 Feb 2021
This section provides descriptions of the data entered in a WO. The paragraphs in this section list
the data fields on the WO Form (Figure 15-1) in sequence from left to right, top to bottom.
15.3.1 Work Order Identification
The following data fields identify the WO, the organization initiating the WO, the specific aircraft,
engine, or equipment that is the subject of the WO, the Work Center performing the maintenance,
check flight requirements, and QA requirements.
a. MCN. The Maintenance Action Form Code Number (MCN) is a seven-character
alpha/numeric identification number to enable tracking of the WO through the maintenance process
and to research the NALCOMIS database. The MCN is automatically assigned by the OOMA
system.
b. JCN. The Job Control Number (JCN) is the 9-character alpha-numeric code that serves as a
base for maintenance data retrieval and Maintenance Control procedures. The JCN allows for
separate identification of each maintenance action, and provides a link with the maintenance actions
performed by the IMA in support of an O-level maintenance discrepancy. The JCN is auto filled in
OOMA and is composed of three parts:
(1) ORG CODE. The Organization Code is a 3-character code that identifies the
organization that originally assigned the JCN to a maintenance action. Except in the case of
transient aircraft maintenance, the JCN will contain the ORG code of the aircraft-reporting
custodian. When an activity is assigned more than one ORG code, for example, separate codes
assigned to operations department and IMA, the ORG code of the department directly responsible
for O-level maintenance will be used in the JCN.
NOTE: For sub custody SE that requires I-level repair, the JCN will be assigned by the IMA
Production Control, reflecting the IMA’s organization code.
(2) DAY. The three-character Julian calendar day of the year. Example: 010 indicates the
10 day of the year (10 January) and 031 indicates the 31st day of the year (31 January). This is the
th
day the JCN was assigned to the maintenance action and does not necessarily reflect the date on
which work was actually started.
(3) SER. The JCN serial number. The JCN serial number is either a three-character number
that runs sequentially from 001 to 999, or a three-character alpha/numeric number. This number is
normally assigned in sequence as new jobs are initiated, for example, 001, 002, 003. When 999 has
been assigned, the next number in sequence will be 001. Alpha/numeric serial numbers are used
only when documenting inspections other than turnaround, daily, special, conditional, corrosion, and
acceptance/transfer.
c. TYPE WO. The two-character Type Work Order code corresponding to the type of
maintenance action for which the WO is initiated. Type WO codes are in Appendix E.
d. ORG CODE. The three-character alpha/numeric Organization Code that identifies the
organization that is initiating the WO. ORG codes are listed in the DECKPLATE website
(https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil//)
15-10
1 Feb 2021
e. MODEX. The locally assigned side number of the aircraft or leave blank for non-aircraft
discrepancies i.e. SE or ALSS.
f. BUNO/SERNO. The 6-digit Bureau Number of the aircraft or the Serial Number of the
equipment or end item on which work is being performed. If the serial number is more than six
digits, enter the last six; if less than six digits, prefix with sufficient zeros to total six characters.
This block must not be blank. For ALSS equipment, enter the initials of the member's first and last
name and the last four digits of their DOD ID Number (as listed on the member’s ID card).
g. ASSY CD. The Assembly Code (Type Equipment Code (TEC)) that identifies a specific end
item on which work is being performed. Assembly/TEC structuring is explained in Appendix E,
and specific Assembly/TECs are found at https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil//.
h. WORK CENTER. The code of the work center performing the maintenance action described
on the WO. Work Center codes are in Appendix E.
i. CF REQ. Indicates the maintenance performed requires a Functional Check Flight (FCF).
j. QA REQ. Indicates a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) or Collateral Duty Quality
Assurance Representative (CDQAR) is required to inspect the work.
k. Technical Directive Information. This section of the WO documents Technical Directive
(TD) information related to the work performed. All TD information is inserted by the Baseline
Manager and upon initiation of a TD WO; all TD information is auto-filled from the CM/Baseline
tables.
(1) INTRM CD. Indicates the WO is for an Interim TD, otherwise blank.
(2) CODE. Two-character Technical Directive code that denotes the type of TD being
incorporated. TD codes are in Appendix E.
(3) BASIC NO. The Basic Number listed on the TD, preceded by zero(s) to complete the
four-digit data field.
(4) REV LTR. The one-alpha character Revision Letter of the basic TD. Leave blank if not
applicable.
(5) AMEND. The one-numeric number of the TD Amendment. Leave blank if not
applicable.
(6) PART. The two-character numeric part number as listed on the TD. Leave blank if not
applicable.
(7) KIT NO. The two-character alpha/numeric TD Kit Number. If no kit is required, enter
00 in this section.
l. TURN-IN DOC . The turn-in document (requisition number) for the replacement item for
failed/required material required to complete the maintenance action. The turn-in document number
is automatically assigned in OOMA.
15-11
1 Feb 2021
m. WUC/UNS. The Work Unit Code (WUC)/Unified Numbering System (UNS) that identifies
the system, subsystem, or component on which work is being performed. All repairable items must
have a WUC assigned, which can be found by querying the NALCOMIS OOMA or the
DECKPLATE WUC Baseline Report.
NOTES: 1. General WUCs 030 (inspection) and 049 (preservation and depreservation) are
used for conditional, acceptance, or transfer inspections and preservation or
depreservation WOs. Appendix E contains a complete list of these codes.
2. If a WUC cannot be found for a repairable item, submit a Baseline Trouble
Report (BTR) via Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS) to the NAVAIR TEC
or WUC Manager.
3. For consumables not identified by a specific WUC, use the Next Higher Assembly
(NHA) WUC.
n. TRANS. The two-character numeric Transaction Code used to identify the type of data being
reported. Transaction Codes are in Appendix E.
o. M/L – MAINTENANCE LEVEL. The level of maintenance (1 – O-level, 2 – I-level, or 3 –
D-level) performed (not necessarily the level assigned to the activity).
p. ITEM PRC - ITEMS PROCESSED. The number of times that an action, indicated by an AT
code, is applied to the item identified by the WUC recorded on a WO. For example, since the fuel
nozzle of a jet engine has a WUC, replacement of five fuel nozzles would be documented as five
items processed. In contrast, replacement of several transistors in an electronic assembly would be
documented as one item processed, with the WUC identifying the electronic assembly being
repaired and the Action Taken (AT) code indicating repair. Items processed will be 0 for any look
phase inspection WO.
q. ACTION TAKEN. The one-character alpha /numeric Action Taken (AT) code which
describes the action taken against the discrepancy. AT codes and rules for use of specific codes are
listed in Appendix E.
r. MAL CODE. The three-character alpha/numeric malfunction (MAL) code that best describes
the malfunction which caused the maintenance action on the item described by the WUC. MAL
codes and rules are listed in Appendix E. For engine identification, enter 000. MAL code will be
blank for TD documentation.
s. DISC CODE. The one-character alpha/numeric Discovered code that identifies when the
need for maintenance was discovered. Discovered code definitions and explanations are in
Appendix E.
t. TYPE MAINT. The one-character alpha/numeric Type Maintenance (TM) code used to
describe the type of work being accomplished, for example, scheduled, unscheduled, supply support.
Definitions and explanations of TM codes are in Appendix E.
15-12
1 Feb 2021
15.3.2 Removed/Old Item
The Removed/Old Item section documents data on components/items removed from the aircraft.
This data field is also entered when identifying serialized components on a TD WO, not necessarily
removing the component. The CDI must verify the accuracy of the fields prior to signing. Data
fields:
a. CAGE. The five-position Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code assigned to the
manufacturer or commercial supplier of the item.
b. SERIAL NUMBER. The serial number of the removed item. If the serial number is more
than 15 characters, enter the last 15.
NOTE: If serial number displays system default XXX, the CDI must ensure Auto-Logset
(ALS) Serial Number is updated in Configuration Management by Logs and Records
personnel prior to CDI signature. Manual Entry in this field by the CDI does not
auto-populate CM ALS.
c. PART NUMBER. The part number of the removed item. If the part number is more than 32
characters, enter the last 32. Use the lot number for CARTs, CADs, or PADs.
d. DATE REMOVED. Date removed is automatically filled in OOMA once the CDI completes
signature.
15.3.3 Installed/New Item
This section documents data on components/items installed on the aircraft. This section documents
data on components/items installed on the aircraft. This data field is also entered when identifying
serialized components on a TD WO, not necessarily installing/replacing the component. CDI
verifies the accuracy of the fields prior to signing. Data fields:
a. CAGE. The five-position code assigned to the manufacturer or commercial supplier of the
item.
b. SERIAL NUMBER. The serial number of the replacement item. If the serial number is more
than 15 characters, enter the last 15.
NOTE: If serial number displays system default XXX, the CDI must ensure Auto-Logset
(ALS) Serial Number is updated in Configuration Management by Logs and Records
personnel prior to CDI signature. Manual entry in this field does not auto-populate
CM ALS.
c. PART NUMBER. The part number of the replacement item. If the part number is more than
32 characters, enter the last 32. Use the lot number for CARTs, CADs, or PADs.
d. DATE INSTALLED. Date installed is automatically filled in OOMA once CDI completes
signature.
15-13
1 Feb 2021
15.3.4 Maintenance Information
This section identifies the entire time cycle of the WO from initiation to completion, mission impact
and man-hours to correct the discrepancy.
a. MAN HRS. The number of man-hours auto calculated in the WO that were expended to
correct the discrepancy (in hours and tenths).
b. ELAPSED HRS. The elapsed maintenance time (EMT) in clock hours involved in making
the repair (in hours and tenths) is auto calculated in the WO. EMT does not include cure time,
charging time, or leak test when they are being conducted without maintenance personnel actually
monitoring the work. Although EMT is directly related to job man-hours, it is not to be confused
with total man-hours required to complete a job, for example, if three persons worked together for
2.5 hours to make a repair, the total man-hours would be 7.5 and the EMT would be 2.5 hours.
c. RECEIVED. Enter the date (DD MMM YYYY) and time (TTTT) the WO was initiated.
d. EOC. Assign appropriate Equipment Operational Capability (EOC) code as identified by the
applicable TMS aircraft MESM that defines current operational capability and material condition.
Refer to Chapter 9.
NOTES: 1. When aircraft mission capability is degraded during a maintenance action, a new
EOC code is assigned to reflect the change in the capability. A change of mission
capability is documented by using the SCIR change option in the Basic Work Order
Update in OOMA by selecting the appropriate aircraft status from U (up) to D
(down) or P (partial) and entering the revised EOC code in the EOC field.
2. If the MESM identifies an EOC code, but the code is not assigned to a WUC,
submit a BTR via JDRS to the OOMA Baseline Manager (BLM).
e. IN WORK. The date and time is automatically entered once a worker is added and the WO
was first placed In Work (IW).
f. EOC. The EOC code as applicable at the time an aircraft system or subsystem is degraded
impairs the aircraft capability to perform assigned mission.
g. COMPLETED. The date (DD MMM YYYY) and time (TTTT) WO was completed.
h. WO STATUS CD. The alpha character that identifies the aircraft status U (up), D (down) or
P (partial).
i. METER. The number of accumulated hours on equipment as shown on the hour meter. (Enter
whole hours only.) The meter time is preceded by the applicable Time or Cycle Prefix Code in
Appendix E. Mandatory when the TEC for on-equipment work is G, H, or S, and maintenance level
is 1.
j. IN PROCESS INSPEC. Documented in-process inspections are indicated with a Y.
Otherwise this field is auto filled with a N.
15-14
1 Feb 2021
k. SAFETY/EI. Enter the locally assigned four-digit Report Control Number (RCN) per
paragraph 10.9.3.2 if the WO documents a discrepancy reported per the Naval Aviation
Maintenance Discrepancy Program (NAMDRP).
l. POSIT. Auto-filled based on the WUC/UNS selected.
m. FID. The Fixed Induction Date (Leave blank, reserved for future use.)
n. TECH. Enter an N for all maintenance actions involving Engineering Technical Services
(ETS) support.
o. SYSTEM REASON. Enter a short description of the discrepancy. Example: FOM PORT
ENGINE
15.3.5 Failed/Required Material Data (H-Z)
This WO section is used to document: 1) A failed part without an AWP situation, 2) A supply
request only, with no failed part or AWP situation. For each failed part, enter the following data:
a. INDEX. Letters H - Z. The letters represent a specific record type to be extracted from the
WO for failed parts, AWP, and engine identification reporting. Index letters H - Z must be assigned
automatically in alphabetical order. This allows the 19 most significant failed parts to be reported
against a specific maintenance action, for example, assignment of index H indicates the first failed
part record, Z indicates the last and 19th failed parts record against the maintenance action. The
purpose of this block is to flag engineering data items only, not supply usage data. Therefore, only
significant failed parts will be annotated in this block, such as those items, which are known or
suspected to have contributed to the discrepancy reported in the discrepancy block of the WO.
There is no limit to requisitioning parts. This section will also be used for engine identification and
subsequent failed parts reported against the identified engine, for example, repairable components
that are an integral part of the basic engine (excluding propellers but including the T56 or T76
gearbox) or receive their primary source of power from the basic engine.
b. Failed/Part. Enter a Yes (Y) or No (N) to denote a failed part if the failed material or parts
replaced during the repair are piece parts that have failed in a major component. Common
hardware, nuts, screws, safety wire, seals, gaskets, washers, fittings, etc., routinely replaced during a
maintenance action will be documented only if their failure is known or suspected to have
contributed to the discrepancy.
NOTES: 1. Pre-expended bin (PEB) items, such as common hardware, nuts, bolts, screws,
safety wire, seals, gaskets, fittings, and washers, that are routinely replaced during a
maintenance actions that do not contribute to the discrepancy, will be listed for
material ordering purposes only. Data fields Index, Failed Part AT Code, and MAL
Code will be left blank. Do not document items available in the PEB (only those
items that are not in stock for material ordering purposes) unless PEB items caused
the failure or were suspected of contributing to the discrepancy. The Supply request
only will not have a letter in Index field.
15-15
1 Feb 2021
2. This section will also be used for engine identification and subsequent failed parts
reporting against the identified engine, for example, repairable components that are
integral part of the basic engine (excluding propellers, but including the T56
gearbox) or receive their primary source of power from the basic engine.
c. A/T. Enter the Action Taken code that applies to the FAILED part.
d. MAL. Enter the Malfunction Code that applies to the FAILED part.

action. This is auto-filled upon Material Control approval.
l. DATE RCVD. The Day (DD) Month (MMM) Year (YYYY) and Time (TTTT) that
requisitioned material is received.
m. NOMEN. The Nomenclature of the material is auto-filled upon selection of part number.
15.3.6 Discrepancy and Corrective Action
a. DISCREPANCY. Discrepancies for unscheduled maintenance will include a full description
of the problem and related information that could assist in troubleshooting the fault. Example:
“Engine oil pressure fluctuating approximately 50 PSI while in afterburner. No problems noted in
other operating conditions.” Discrepancies for calendar inspections will include current due date
and next due date. Discrepancies for hourly inspections will include current aircraft time, expired
time and next due time.
b. CORRECTIVE ACTION. The corrective action will include discrepancy found, a full
summary of actions taken to correct the discrepancy, publication used, the statement
“FOD/corrosion free”, the statement “operational check or leak check performed”, and PEMA serno
used. Example: “Found oil pressure sensor not reading on #2 engine during high power ground
turn. Replaced oil sensor in accordance with (publication used) operation check with in limits
during ground turns. Area FOD/Corrosion free. PEMA Serial #162.”
15.3.7 Names/Signatures
a. INITIATED BY: The rank and name of the individual initiating the discrepancy.
15-16
1 Feb 2021
b. CORRECTED BY. Corrected By will be signed by the worker assigned to the maintenance
action. Signature indicates the individual performed the work, and the WO documentation is
correct.
c. INSPECTED BY. Inspected By will be signed by the QAR, CDQAR, and CDI (as
applicable) certifying all required tasks were performed IAW applicable maintenance publications,
and all data entered in the WO is correct.
NOTE: No further WO modification is allowed after CDI signature is applied to the inspected
by field.
d. MAINT CONTROL. Maintenance Control will be signed by designated Maintenance
Control personnel authorized to certify WOs.
15.3.8 Miscellaneous Entries
NOTE: The following WO data is entered or automatically calculated in an OOMA Work
Order, but is not shown on a hardcopy WO.
15.3.8.1 ACCUMULATED WORK HOURS. This section documents who is performing work,
total man hours performed, and verification of the inventory of the tools used to perform the work.
The calculation of AWM hours is automated.
a. NAME. The SMQ electronic signature name of the technician(s) performing work.
b. TOOL BOX (tool container inventory verification). The tool box number and SMQ
electronic signature of the technician that performed the tool container inventory.
NOTE: OOMA allows deletion of the tool box number and SMQ signature after the CDI has
initialed the appropriate data fields. This permits personnel with a QAR, CDQAR,
CDI, or work center supervisor SMQ to delete and reenter the corrected data in the
tool box number and initials data fields. Work center supervisors, QARs, CDQARs
and CDIs must strictly control changes to the Tool Box data field.
15.3.8.2 WO Update Job Status/Worker Hours:
a. ACCUMULATED AWM HOURS. OOMA automatically calculates the AWM hours
accumulated during SCIR related time of the discrepancy. OOMA records the beginning date and
time of the AWM period associated with the applicable AWM reason code. AWM codes are listed
in Appendix E.
NOTE: AWM is only accounted for during the time an end item's mission capability is
impaired. AWM time is not accumulated on maintenance actions when an EOC code
is not documented.
b. Job Status History. JS history of the WO from start to finish. STATUS – A two-character
code used to determine the status of a specific task. DATE (DD) MONTH (MMM) YEAR (YYYY)
TIME (TTTT).
15-17
1 Feb 2021
c. Worker Hours. Enter last name of worker and tool box assigned to the task. Upon return to
the work center the CDI, Supervisor, or QA will conduct a sight inventory of the tool container(s)
and verify Tool Control Program requirements have been complied with. If no tools are required
enter NTR. Start date and time - enter the beginning of the worker start date and time. Day (DD)
Month (MMM) Year (YYYY) Time (TTTT) and end date and time - enter the end date time of the
worker end task Day (DD) Month (MMM) Year (YYYY) Time (TTTT). CDI initials are entered
here.
NOTES: 1. A worker cannot be in work on more than one WO at a time.
2. CDIs may account for man-hours expended while performing on equipment
inspections. If no tools were used to perform inspection, the CDI will enter CDISUP
in the toolbox block. CDI initials are not required. Work center supervisors may
also account for man-hour expenditure involving research and ordering parts, using
the same procedures as above.
d. Current Job Status – Displays the current job status of the WO in the following format: status,
date, time, and EOC code.
15.3.8.3 OMA/IOU Turn-in notice. An OMA/IOU Turn-in notice is auto generated in OOMA of
a removed item being inducted into the IMA for repair. (Figure 15-9)
15.3.8.4 Local Use. This field is used to note serial numbers with type WO FO.
15.3.8.5 Logset. Maintenance Control may select Logset block required. The entry is automated
for items that have tasks in CM.
15.4 Contingency Procedures
15.4.1 If OOMA is unavailable or is malfunctioning, activities will use either blank hardcopy
OOMA WO forms (Figure 15-1) or 5-part OPNAV 4790/60 VIDS/MAF forms (Figure 15-2)
(https://forms.documentservices.dla.mil/order/) to manually document maintenance.
NOTE: In the event the system is unrecoverable, contact the Naval Information Warfare
Center Fleet Support Center at DSN 646-0534 or COMM (757) 443-0534 for a data
recovery push.
a. All applicable data fields (15.3) will be legibly printed in ink.
b. The JCN must be entered by Maintenance Control when a WO (hard copy or electronic) or
VIDS/MAF is initiated. The JCN is a 9, 10, or 11 character number that serves as a base for
Monthly Maintenance Reports and Maintenance Control procedures. The JCN allows for separate
identification of each maintenance action, and provides a link with maintenance actions performed
by the IMA in support of an organization. The JCN is composed of four parts:
(1) Organization (ORG) Code. This is a three-character alphanumeric code that identifies an
organization. It is used in the JCN to identify the organization that originally assigns a JCN to a
maintenance action. In the case of transient aircraft maintenance, the JCN will contain the ORG
code of the aircraft reporting custodian. When an activity is assigned more than one ORG code, for
15-18
1 Feb 2021
example, separate codes assigned to an air station Operations Department and Aircraft Intermediate
Maintenance Department or Detachment (AIMD), the ORG code of the department directly
responsible for O-level maintenance will be used in the JCN on all source documents for aircraft and
equipment assigned to the activity. The general format structure of ORG codes is in Appendix E.
NOTE: All supported organization codes must reside in the OOMA database.
(2) Day. This is a three-character numeric code specifying the day of the year, for example
01 January is day 001 and 15 January is day 015. This is the date the JCN was assigned to a
maintenance action and does not necessarily reflect the date on which the work was actually started.
(3) Serial Number. The serial number is either a three character number that runs
sequentially from 001 to 999, or a three character alphanumeric number. This number is normally
assigned in sequence as new jobs are initiated, for example, 001, 002, and 003. When 999 has been
assigned, the next number in sequence will be 001. Alphanumeric serial numbers are used only
when documenting inspections other than turnaround, daily, special, conditional, corrosion,
acceptance, and transfer.
c. Where signatures are required, the individual will print their rank followed by their first initial
and last name in the bottom of the signature block, and sign in the top of the signature block.
d. When additional space is required on the hardcopy WO or VIDS/MAF to document
information on multiple entries in a data field, such as in the Failed Parts section, attach a second
blank hardcopy WO or MAF, label “page 2”, “page 3”, etc., and continue to document in the
affected field.
e. If using OOMA WO forms (Figure 15-1), WO forms will be retained in a hardcopy aircraft
discrepancy book (ADB).
f. If using 5-part OPNAV 4790/60 VIDS/MAF forms, Maintenance Control will send copies 1
and 5 to the appropriate work center. Copy 2 is sent to QA for trend analysis. Copy 3 and 4 are
retained in Maintenance Control in a hardcopy ADB.
15.4.2 Pre-recovery procedures:
a. Work Center 020 must print or save Aircraft Equipment Workload and Inspections by
Assembly reports daily. At a minimum, the Automated Aircraft Discrepancy Book (AADB)
Summary page backups must be performed prior to each flight, after the aircrew signs the Aircrew
Inspection and Acceptance Record, and at the end of each shift.
b. All Work Centers will print Work Center Work Load Reports at the beginning of every shift
and update as changes occur throughout the work shift.
15.4.3 Procedures:
a. Maintenance Control:
(1) Coordinate and decide when to implement the following contingency procedures.
15-19
1 Feb 2021
(2) Hold a meeting with key personnel (e.g., System Administrator, Operations, Quality
Assurance, and Work Center Supervisors) to coordinate documentation tracking for future back
fitting.
(3) All maintenance data will be documented using the OPNAV 4790/60 (VIDS/MAF) form
or equivalent. All flight data will be documented using the OPNAV 3710/4 (NAVFLIR) form or
equivalent.
b. If using OOMA WO forms (Figure 15-1), WO forms will be retained in a hardcopy aircraft
discrepancy book (ADB).
c. If using 5-part OPNAV 4790/60 VIDS/MAF forms, Maintenance Control will send copies 1
and 5 to the appropriate work center. Copy 2 is sent to QA for trend analysis. Copy 3 and 4 are
retained in Maintenance Control in a hardcopy ADB.
(1) (Figure 15-3) will be used during contingency operations to document and track
maintenance actions. Job Control Number (JCN) assignment will consist of “ORG-Three Digit
Julian Date-Sequence number” (e.g. KH1-091-600). Sequence number must be numbered from 900
through 999 regardless of Julian date. Once 999 is reached the sequence will start back over at 900.
NOTE: All supported organization codes must reside in the OOMA database.
(2) The Aircraft and Work Center Workload Reports in conjunction with the Scheduled
Inspections, Component Removal Due Reports, rough flight log, and Support Equipment reports
will be utilized to track all aircraft and non-aircraft maintenance requirements.
(3) When NALCOMIS generated discrepancies are corrected, hand write the corrective
action and signatures on the outstanding VIDS/MAF in the Aircraft Discrepancy Book (ADB) and
move the VIDS/MAF to the left side of the ADB. Do not purge these documents until the
NALCOMIS OOMA system is repaired and the backfit process is complete.
NOTE: Where signatures are required, the individual will print their rank followed by their
first initial and last name in the bottom of the signature block, and sign in the top of
the signature block.
(4) CM ALS for assemblies and parts received during contingency operations will be
obtained and added to the Primary folder in CM Inventory Explorer prior to commencing the back
fit of electronic A sheets, WOs and flight documents.
NOTE: Activities receiving CM ALS from the OMAWHOLE (WHO, PAXRIVER) are
responsible for back fitting all logbook historical data not previously entered into the
CM ALS module while the aircraft/asset was in the custody of a non-NTCSS
Optimized OMA NALCOMIS activity.
(5) Once OOMA is available, data on the hardcopy forms must be back fitted into OOMA.
Hardcopy forms for conditional inspections will be kept on file for 6 months. Hardcopy forms for
special inspections will be kept on file until the next like inspection is completed in OOMA.
15-20
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Special attention must be made when back fitting hardcopy WOs and VIDS/MAFs
into OOMA to ensure correct data is entered in the correct sequence with flight
record data being applied to the correct logsets.
(6) Upon completion of the back fitting process, a verification of the Flight module, the
Maintenance module and the ALS CM Inventory Explorer must be performed for the affected
aircraft, assemblies or tracked assets.
15.4.4 Post Recovery Procedures:
a. Maintenance Control
(1) Coordinate the backfitting of the Maintenance Action Forms (MAF), validate the
Workload Reports, both aircraft and non-aircraft, and completed documents against the ADB and SE
Records.
(2) Review all outstanding VIDS/MAFS to ensure validity.
(3) Review VIDS/MAFs that were signed off during the system failure and ensure
completion.
(4)Validate the Aircraft Material Status Report against all Awaiting Parts (AWP)
VIDS/MAFs.
b. Work Center Supervisor
(1) Validate the new Work Center Workload Report with the old Work Center Workload
Report. Notify Maintenance Control of all completed VIDS/MAFs to be backfitted into
NALCOMIS OOMA.
(2) Ensure all VIDS/MAFs have parts on order, as required. The Work Center will ensure
that VIDS/MAFs with repairable parts on order have removed/installed blocks filled out, as
required, job status is reflected in proper sequence, and any in-process inspections are documented.
(3) Notify Maintenance Control with all changes annotated on the Work Center Workload
Report.
(4) Material Control will validate the electronic Material Control Register Report against the
Material Control VIDS board. Document numbers that are not on the VIDS board should be
removed and held until after all MAFs are backfitted/re-initiated.
c. Logs and Records
(1) Validate all NALCOMIS OOMA Reports affected during the period of contingency to
include the Scheduled Inspections Report (Aircraft and Assets), Flight Summary Report,
Component Removal Near Due Report, etc., for correctness.
(2) Validate the database flight data against the Flight Summary Report. Any outstanding
NAVFLIRS will be entered in NALCOMIS OOMA.
15-21
1 Feb 2021
(3) Upon completion of the back fitting process, a verification of the Auto Log-Set (ALS)
Queue must be performed for applicable logs and records entries.
(4) After all the above steps have been completed, resume all normal NALCOMIS OOMA
processing.
15.5 Specific Work Orders
Aircraft Maintenance Documentation. The following paragraphs provide details for documenting of
various maintenance actions. Each maintenance action described below is initiated using a specific
type WO code. Type WO codes are designed to auto-fill WO data fields with the correct
information per NAMP policy and aviation 3M MDS VALSPEC Guide in Appendix F. If an
improper code is selected for a field not auto-filled, the on-line validation specifications pop-up
window appears with the proper code(s) for that data field or reference to the appropriate Appendix.
15.5.1 Aircraft Repair
15.5.1.1 Troubleshooting. Type WO code: TS – Troubleshooting. The troubleshooting time will
be documented separately when the time expended in locating a discrepancy is considered to be
great enough to warrant separating the troubleshooting time from the repair time. Separating
troubleshooting time requires completion of two WOs, one for troubleshooting and one for the repair
phase. When recording the troubleshooting time separately from the repair time, the total time taken
to isolate the primary cause of the discrepancy is recorded on a separate WO using the system,
subsystem, or assembly WUC, as appropriate (paragraphs 15.5.14 and 15.5.13).
15.5.1.2 On Equipment Repair (Repairable Component Replacement). Type WO code: DM –
Discrepancy Maintenance. A WO is used to document the removal and replacement of repairable
components while performing on equipment repair. Refer to paragraph 15.5.15 for documentation
procedures.
15.5.1.3 Turn-In of Repairables and Locally Repaired Consumables. No Type WO code
assigned. A Turn-In Notice is used to document the removal and subsequent I-level activity
processing of a repairable component. These procedures will also apply to consumable components
that are inducted into an IMA for repair. Turn-in is auto generated in OOMA when item is turned
into local supply or IMA for repair.
NOTE: 1. If an item is still under warranty at the time of failure, ensure that CM ALS
records indicate removal of a warranty item and the contract number.
2. All ALSS turn-ins will be delivered directly to the ALSS pool. Requisition and
turn-in procedures for ALSS assemblies and repair parts must be as established in
this instruction, the OMA-UG, or Online Help.
15.5.1.4 Receipt of Unsatisfactory Material from Supply. When components received from
supply prove unsatisfactory, the following procedures will be followed:
a. Type WO code: DM – Discrepancy Maintenance with discovered code Y.
15-22
1 Feb 2021
b. Component Received NRFI and Not Installed or Improper Replacement Received. If NRFI
before installation or an improper replacement is received, notify Material Control. The original
WO remains outstanding and the NRFI component will be turned in on a DOD Single Line Item
Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) prepared by Material Control. Ensure all accompanying
documentation, for example, RFI tag, SRC card, and WO are returned with all items. CM ALS
records will be returned to Supply via the CM Group Explorer in OOMA.
c. Component Received NRFI and Installed. Complete the original WO per paragraph 15.5.16.
Initiate a new WO Type WO DM with a new JCN and discovered code Y. Figure 15-11 is an
example of a WO documented when a component is received non-RFI and installed. A replacement
component is requisitioned using the new WO and a new WO turn-in document will be
automatically created to accompany the NRFI component to the IMA.
d. Component Received Missing SRC Card, ASR, MSR, EHR or AESR. Components,
assemblies, or equipment received from supply missing SRC cards, ASRs, MSRs, EHRs or AESRs
must be considered as NRFI and turned in on a DOD Single Line Item Release Receipt Document
(DD 1348-1) prepared by Material Control. If the component is installed and cannot be determined
to be new, it must be considered faulty. Figure 15-10 is an example of a WO documented for turn-in
of a component that is missing the SRC card. Items missing ASRs, MSRs, or AESRs are
documented in a similar manner.
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 8 for missing records procedures.
15.5.1.5 Cannibalization. Only Maintenance Control will issue cannibalization WOs.
Maintenance Control will use the automated cannibalization wizard in OOMA for the removal and
replacement of the component being cannibalized. The procedures listed in this paragraph apply to
all cannibalizations from end items, for example, aircraft and SE. Egress system related cartridges,
CADs, or PADs will not be cannibalized without prior cognizant wing (ashore) or CVW (afloat)
approval. Personnel and drogue parachutes and SSKs are excluded from this policy (paragraph
15.5.17). Cannibalization of consumable parts using the Consumable Cannibalization Wizard does
not require documentation in the removal and installation blocks.
15.5.1.6 Matched System Documentation. Type WO code: DM – Discrepancy Maintenance.
Documentation of maintenance actions on components removed as a matched system, for processing
at the IMA, for example, ASA-13A and APN-22/117, is performed as follows. Each component is
removed on a separate WO using procedures in paragraphs 15.5.12 and 15.5.13. Each component
must have a separate JCN assigned by Maintenance Control. Each component within a matched
system that must be removed during a maintenance action will be assigned the same MAL code that
describes the system defect. In addition to the brief narrative, a statement will be added to the
Discrepancy block, such as, "Matched Set, See JCN_____". An additional WO turn-in control
document is initiated for each component. The turn-in document accompanies the component for
processing and has all maintenance actions documented per (Figure 15-8).
15.5.1.7 Assisting Work Center Documentation. Type WO code: AD – Assist Maintenance.
When it becomes necessary for another work center to assist the work center primarily assigned to a
maintenance action, an assist WO will be prepared by Maintenance Control and processed per
15-23
1 Feb 2021
paragraph 15.5.22 with the following except as noted in Figure 15-15. These procedures do not
apply to look phase inspections, the removal and reinstallation to FOM, or cannibalization.
15.5.1.8 Facilitate Other Maintenance (FOM) Action. Type WO code: FO – Facilitate Other
Maintenance. A FOM action is the removal and subsequent reinstallation of an RFI engine or
component from an end item in support of, or to permit access to, another maintenance action on the
same end item. The component removed is not identified in the REMOVED/OLD ITEM or
INSTALLED/NEW ITEM field of the FO WO. When a component has been removed, note its
serial number (if any) in the "local use" field for reference when the item is reinstalled. This
notation will provide positive accountability of serialized RFI components removed to FOM. If the
component that is removed and reinstalled does not have a serial number place “0” in the local use
block. This will demonstrate a non serialized component was removed and reinstalled. (paragraph
15.5.23).
NOTE: FOM WOs will be assigned U (Up) status if removal of the component does not affect
aircraft mission capability (MC). Once the removal of the component is the single
driver degrading mission capability to P (Partial) or D (Down), the proper EOC code
must be entered to update mission capability.
15.5.1.9 Aircraft Tire and Wheel Documentation. Aircraft tire documentation is unique in that
the required information varies throughout the life cycle of the tire carcass. A structured part
number, indicating the cycle the tire is presently in and the serial number and manufacturer's code of
the original tire carcass, is required for continuity. Built-up tire/wheel assemblies are documented
treating the assembly as a major repairable component, and the tire itself and the wheel as separate
repairable subassemblies of the tire/wheel assembly (paragraph 15.5.24).
15.5.1.10 Hosting Activity/Transient Maintenance
a. Type WO codes: HA – Hosting Activity and TM – Transient Maintenance. Maintenance
actions completed on transient aircraft (Navy/Marine Corps or non-Navy/Marine Corps) are
documented using the hosting activity WO code by the activity actually performing the transient
maintenance. The activity performing transient maintenance must provide the aircraft reporting
custodian with documentation necessary to report all maintenance actions and to update CM ALS
records.
b. The reporting custodian of an aircraft receiving transient maintenance must, upon receipt of
applicable records, update CM ALS records, report maintenance actions, and submit the completed
maintenance action using the Transient Maintenance WO code. See 7.5.2.5
NOTES: 1. In the absence of designated QA expertise during transient maintenance, the pilot
in command is authorized to either sign as inspector or designate a qualified member
of the aircrew to function in this capacity. See 7.5.2.5.
2. The activity performing transient maintenance must provide the aircraft-
reporting custodian with documentation necessary to report SCIR and to update
aircraft logbooks and records. This documentation must include, but is not limited
to, copies of the WO for each maintenance action performed, SRC Cards, AESRs,
15-24
1 Feb 2021
etc. These documents must be forwarded to the reporting custodian via the most
expeditious means to ensure timely reporting of aviation data. To supply the
transient aircraft parent organization with necessary records of aircraft and engine
repair or TD that may have been initiated or completed, ensure the WO, with all
transactions completed, are sent with the transient aircraft when it departs.
15.5.1.11 In-Flight Maintenance. Type WO code: DM – Discrepancy Maintenance. All in-flight
maintenance will be documented on a VIDS/MAF or blank WO and back fitted in OOMA upon
return from flight. In the absence of designated QA personnel during in-flight maintenance, the
senior aircrew maintenance person is authorized to sign as the inspector. The work performed must
be inspected from a technical standpoint to ensure sound maintenance procedures and practices were
followed, and areas where maintenance was performed are free of foreign objects (paragraph
15.5.14) except work center must be X20.
15.5.1.12 Away From Home Maintenance. Multi-Type WO codes can apply. Most organizations
occasionally deploy single aircraft or small units away from the parent organization for short periods
of time, for example, hurricane evacuation, cross-country flight, and rocket and gunnery training. If
maintenance personnel are deployed with the aircraft, all maintenance actions accomplished while
they are deployed are documented against work center X30 or the parent work center.
15.5.1.13 Induction into Standard Rework. Components authorized to be removed from an
aircraft prior to induction into standard rework and retained by the squadron will be documented on
a WO, issued by Maintenance Control, using Type WO code: DM – Discrepancy Maintenance,
Transaction code 16, Malfunction Code 805 and AT code P. Prior to reinstallation, those
components should be inducted into IMA for check, test, or service, using a WO work request.
Components authorized to be removed from aircraft for pool stock will be processed to the IMA
using AT code P and Malfunction Code 805. Components, when reinstalled, will be documented on
a WO using TR Code 17, Malfunction Code 805, and AT Code Q.
15.5.1.14 Aircraft CARTs, CADs, and PADs. Type WO code: DM – Discrepancy Maintenance.
Replacement of aircraft installed explosive devices requires an individual WO for removal and
replacement of each device. For scheduled removals, use Transaction Code 18, AT Code R, and
Malfunction Code 804. The WUC block must reflect the assigned WUC that is in OOMA
NALCOMIS baseline. The Part Number in the remove and install blocks must reflect the lot
number of the devices being removed and installed. Time/Cycle blocks in the remove and install
blocks and must have an entry using Time/Cycle Prefix Code H and the container open date for
CARTs or CADs and the propellant manufacture date for PADs (paragraph 15.5.27).
15.5.1.15 Corrosion Prevention and Treatment. Corrosion prevention and treatment is
performed as part of a scheduled maintenance requirement, or when the need for prevention or
treatment is discovered while performing unscheduled maintenance. Corrosion prevention and
treatment must be documented as directed in the following paragraphs:
a. Scheduled corrosion prevention performed per direction in MRCs will be documented on the
inspection Look Phase WO or on the Daily/Turnaround maintenance record. This includes aircraft
washing, cleaning, and application of Corrosion Preventative Compounds (CPC) performed as part
15-25
1 Feb 2021
of a scheduled inspection. Any additional corrosion prevention tasks not listed on the MRCs, but
discovered while complying with the MRCs, will be documented as discrepancies on Fix Phase
WOs (SF, PF, CF) or as Daily/Turnaround (DF) WOs if discovered while performing a Daily or
Turnaround Inspection. The temporary touch-up of bare metal surfaces with no visible corrosion is
included in this category. Use the item's specific WUC, AT code C, applicable MAL code, and TM
code per Appendix E. For bare metal without visible corrosion use MAL code 425
(Nicked/Chipped/Bare Metal).
b. Unscheduled corrosion prevention performed when the need for prevention is discovered
while performing unscheduled maintenance is documented on a Corrosion Prevention (CP) WO.
Unscheduled aircraft cleaning, and the temporary touch-up of bare metal surfaces with no visible
corrosion are included in this category. Multiple items processed may be documented on a single
CP type WO. Use WUC 040, AT code 0, MAL code 000, DISC code O, and TM code per
Appendix E.
c. Treatment of corrosion found during the look phase of an inspection will be documented as
discrepancies on fix phase WOs (e.g., SF, PF, CF) or as Daily/Turnaround (DF) WOs if discovered
while performing a Daily or Turnaround Inspection. The treatment of bare metal with visible
corrosion is included in the category. Use Action Taken (AT) code Z and the applicable MAL code
identified in Appendix E.
d. Treatment of corrosion found during unscheduled maintenance will be documented as a
discrepancy on a Corrosion Treatment (CT) WO. The treatment of bare metal with visible corrosion
is included in this category. Use AT code Z and applicable MAL code identified in Appendix E.
e. Aircraft with Awaiting Maintenance (AWM) corrosion discrepancies (regardless of WO type)
over 28 calendar days will be restricted from flight by coding the WO as a DOWN discrepancy.
This includes, but is not limited to, discrepancies with Form-In Place (FIP) seals, sealants and all
untreated bare metal discrepancies.
f. The permanent repair of corrosion discrepancies, including FIP seals, sealants and bare metal
should be accomplished at the first maintenance opportunity. If the permanent repair is not feasible
within 28 calendar days, the discrepant area will be cleaned, inspected and re-protected at least once
every 28 days until the permanent repair can be completed. In lieu of a WO sign off or coding the
WO as a DOWN discrepancy, an In-process inspection may be entered on the discrepancy WO each
time a cleaning, inspection and re-protection action is performed. This will allow the WO to be
extended for another 28 days if all corrosion has been arrested. If corrosion is present in the
untreated bare metal, refer to applicable TMS aircraft maintenance manual for disposition.
15.5.1.16 Reconfiguration. Reconfiguration is the installation or removal of equipment to
reconfigure an aircraft or item of SE to perform a new or different mission tasking than last
performed using Type WO code: DM – Discrepancy Maintenance. It includes, but is not limited to,
equipment identified as mission mounted equipment in Appendix E. It does not include materials,
which are consumed, expanded, or undergo changes in their physical properties during use. MME
may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: (1) installation or removal generally takes
longer than a typical turnaround cycle; (2) installation required electrical, electronic, hydraulic, or
15-26
1 Feb 2021
mechanical checks to ensure functionality; (3) classified as repairable or contains repairable
components; (4) requires CM ALS; (5) periodic maintenance intervals have been established; or (6)
once installed, equipment is likely to remain installed for extended periods of time, for example,
longer than one day (paragraph 15.5.28).
15.5.2 Inspections
15.5.2.1 Major Scheduled Inspections. All aircraft scheduled inspections (except repetitive
inspections, such as daily and turnaround) are documented on a WO. Control, look phase, and fix
phase documents (as necessary) are the principal WO documents for major scheduled inspections.
a. Major scheduled inspections use a unique coding system to identify the total effort expended
as a continuous maintenance event, as explained in the following:
(1) The JCN is constructed by using the activity's organization code, the Julian date on which
the aircraft was inducted for inspection, and an alpha/numeric serial number. The first aircraft or
engine inspection, on any given day, will be assigned the JCN serial number A00. When this serial
number is assigned to an aircraft major inspection each engine major inspection will be assigned the
next alphanumeric serial number in sequence, for example, if A00 is assigned to the first aircraft
inspection of the day, B00 is assigned to the first (or only) engine due for inspection, C00 is
assigned to the second engine. The second aircraft inspection on that day will be assigned D00. The
first (or only) engine from that aircraft would be assigned E00, etc.
(2) WUC. OOMA will auto-assign the seven position WUC of the inspection WO issued by
Maintenance Control. This WUC will be used for both control and look phase WOs related to the
inspection, and is constructed as follows:
(a) The first two positions will be "03." The third through seventh positions will be
constructed to identify the specific type of inspection(s) being performed.
(b) Position 3. For aircraft under phase maintenance, indicate with the appropriate alpha
character the aircraft inspection phase being performed, as listed in the applicable MRC deck, for
example, 03A0000 (Phase A Inspection). All conditional and special inspections will be 0.
(c) Positions 4 through 6. The fourth, fifth, and sixth positions will reflect the hour level
of the major engine inspection (divided by 10) being performed. Engine and aircraft inspections
may be documented concurrently or separately as required. On multiple engine aircraft, if more than
one engine is due an inspection concurrently with the aircraft inspection, the WUC for the aircraft
control document for all concurrent inspections will reflect the highest hour level engine inspection
required.
(d) Position 7. Special inspections will be documented utilizing an appropriate alpha
character to indicate the level of special inspection being performed. A WUC seventh position
matrix is contained in Appendix E.
(3) TRANS (TRCODE). Enter 11 for control and look phase inspections on aircraft. Enter
12 on power plants WOs of combined aircraft and engine documentation with zero items processed.
15-27
1 Feb 2021
(4) ITEM PROCESS. Enter 1 at the completion of the inspection(s) on the control document
and 0 item processed on the look phase documents.
(5) MAN HRS. Auto calculated on the WO, the number of man-hours that were expended to
correct the discrepancy (in hours and tenths).
(6) ELAPSED HRS. Auto calculated on the WO, the number of clock hours involved in
making the repair (in hours and tenths).
(7) DISCREPANCY. Narrative will be system generated by OOMA.
(8) CORRECTIVE ACTION. At completion of the inspection, enter "inspection
completed."
b. Control Document WO. Type WO codes: AC – Acceptance Inspection Control, TC –
Transfer Inspection Control, PC – Phase Control, SC – Special Inspection Control, CC –
Conditional Inspection Control, OC – One-time Inspection Control, FC – Preservation Control, BC
– Depreservation Control. Maintenance Control issues a WO control document and supporting look
phase documents to the work centers involved. A separate WO is issued by Maintenance Control
for each aircraft inspection indicating all requirements. These control documents must be held open
until the inspection is completed and the aircraft is ready for FCF (if required). The same numeric
JCN will be assigned to all control and look phase documents. Applicable work centers will
complete the look phase WOs using 0 in the items process field. Maintenance Control completes the
control document using 1 item process field per paragraphs 15.5.29 and 15.5.31. Aircraft Phase
Inspection (Check Crew Not Integrated) Control Document will be completed per paragraph 15.5.33
except work center code must be 020 (Appendix E).
NOTES: 1. Phase, special, and hourly aircraft or engine inspections cannot be combined into
one Control WO. They must be issued separately to satisfy CM requirements.
2. When phase inspections are combined, for example, a combined phase A and B
inspection, each phase requires a separate control document. Look/fix phase
elements that are peculiar to a certain phase inspection are documented under that
control document. Those items common to both of the phase inspections will be
documented to the phase inspection concurrently due. Combining phases is
permitted only during phase implementation.
3. When multiple inspections are being performed at the same time, one control WO
(aircraft) will be written for all inspections with a control WO for each individual
engine or special inspection. For example, an aircraft that is due a Phase B
Inspection, with #1 engine due a 300-hour major inspection, #2 engine due a 600-
hour major inspection, and a 7, 14, 28, and 56-day special inspection would have
control documents with WUCs as follows:
7 & 14 special controlling document 030000A
28 Day special controlling document 030000B
56 Day special controlling document 030000E
15-28
1 Feb 2021
c. Look Phase WO. Type WO codes: AL – Acceptance Inspection Look Phase, TL – Transfer
Inspection Look Phase, PL – Phase Look Phase, SL – Special Inspection Look Phase, CL –
Conditional Inspection Look Phase, OL – One-time Inspection Look Phase. This type of document
is used when personnel are permanently or temporarily assigned to the check crew. A work center
assisting in the inspection must be identified in the work center field. Look phase man-hours are
documented on WOs by work centers participating in the inspection. Look phase documents will be
identical to the control document, except as shown in paragraph 15.5.32. SCIR is automatically
documented on look phase documents for those inspections that the aircraft has been put into a down
status due to the inspection. This is done so that accurate AWM can be accounted for by use of the
WO job status. SCIR will not be documented on controlling WOs.
d. Fix Phase WO. Type WO codes: AF – Acceptance Inspection Fix Phase, TF – Transfer
Inspection Fix Phase, PF – Phase Fix Phase, SF – Special Inspection Fix Phase, CF – Conditional
Inspection Fix Phase, OF – One-time Inspection Fix Phase, FF – Preservation Fix Phase, BF –
Depreservation Fix Phase. Fix phase actions, for example, fix in place maintenance actions or
discrepancies, which cannot be corrected during the time allotted for, look phase on the MRC, are
documented on separate WOs. If the fix phase discrepancy affects the mission capability of the
aircraft, it is SCIR related and must be documented per paragraph 15.5.35. Fix phase discrepancies
are not affected by control document procedures and are documented in the normal manner as
described in the preceding paragraphs.
e. Special Inspections. These inspections are documented using control, look, and fix phase
WOs. Refer to paragraphs 15.5.35 and 15.5.36.
15.5.2.2 Conditional Inspections. Maintenance Control will issue all conditional inspections. If
more than one work center is involved in the inspection, a controlling WO will automatically be
issued. These inspections are documented using the special inspection procedures. Document SCIR
only if: (1) an over-limit condition exists, for example, hard landing, bolter, over-speed, or over-
temp, which restricts the aircraft from further flight until the inspection is completed; or (2) higher
authority directs a one-time inspection, not ordered in a TD, that restricts the aircraft from flight.
NOTES: 1. Conditional inspections to determine aircraft condition, for example, precarrier,
pre-deployment, aircraft ferry, acceptance, or transfer, and routine inspections that
do not exceed an over-limit condition, for example, inspections caused by flying
various mission sets in harsh or salt laden environments, will remain in MC status
during the complete inspection unless panels and equipment removed to conduct the
inspection cannot be replaced within a 2-hour period.
2. Hosting activity TD documentation for transient aircraft will be documented as a
one-time inspection.
15.5.2.3 Acceptance Inspection. Maintenance Control will issue acceptance inspections using the
special inspection procedures in paragraph 15.5.29. Look phase WOs are automatically issued to
each work center participating in the inspection and will be completed per paragraph 15.5.29. A
separate WO will be issued for any discrepancies discovered and must be reported to Maintenance
Control and assigned alpha/numeric serial number JCNs using the control document per paragraphs
15-29
1 Feb 2021
15.5.30 and 15.5.31. After inspection completion, the control document must be submitted to
15.5.2.4 Transfer Inspection. Maintenance Control will issue transfer inspections using the
special inspection procedures in paragraph 15.5.32. Look phase documents are issued to each work
center participating in the inspection and must be completed per paragraph 15.5.32. If only one
work center is involved in the inspection, look phase man-hours may be accounted for on the control
document WO. Any discrepancies discovered are reported to Maintenance Control and assigned
alpha/numeric JCNs using the control document. Fix phase documentation must be the same as
used for special inspections except use the DISC code G and TM code E. The document will be
identical to a special/conditional inspection control document except as noted in paragraph 15.5.35.
After inspection completion, the control document must be submitted to Maintenance Control with 1
item process field.
15.5.3 Aircraft Preservation.
Applicable publications used in support of the aircraft preservation process include the NAVAIR 15-
01-500 and the daily, special, preservation, conditional, and ASPA MRCs. Not all aircraft have
MRCs revised to include preservation requirements. For those aircraft, NAVAIR 15-01-500
procedures will be followed. This instruction also provides additional information on the
preservation process. Maintenance Control will issue all preservation, represervation and
depreservation WOs. If more than one work center is involved in the preservation, represervation or
depreservation, a controlling WO will be issued automatically. Documentation procedures for all
preservation processes are the same.
15.5.3.1 WOs for the aircraft preservation process fall into four general categories:
a. Initial Preservation. Initial preservation is applied within the time frames listed in NAVAIR
15-01-500 or the applicable MRCs. It includes requirements that are intended to prevent
deterioration of the aircraft while in a non-operating status.
b. Maintenance While Preserved. Maintenance while preserved includes periodic maintenance
requirements that are done after initial preservation is applied. It includes time sensitive
requirements that must be done to maintain the initial preservation. Specific intervals are in
NAVAIR 15-01-500 or applicable MRCs.
c. Represervation. Represervation is a complete renewal of the initial preservation and is done
when a specified length of time has elapsed from the initial preservation date.
d. Depreservation. Depreservation is done at the time an aircraft is returned to operating status.
It includes removal of protective materials and equipment and servicing of the aircraft systems.
15.3.2.2 WO procedures for all preservation processes are the same:
a. Discrepancies discovered during the preservation process look phase will be documented on
separate WOs. They will be assigned an alpha/numeric JCN with DISC Code L and TM Code D.
15-30
1 Feb 2021
b. When the preservation process is determined to be SCIR related, only the control document
will be used to document SCIR. Any fix phase discrepancies will be SCIR related if they impact the
mission capability of the aircraft.
c. Daily and Turnaround Inspections. Type WO code: DF – Daily/Turnaround Discrepancy.
The look phase and required servicing actions are not documented. Discrepancies which require
work center repair actions will be reported to Maintenance Control. Each reported discrepancy is
assigned a numeric JCN and is documented on a WO. If the discrepancy is SCIR related, the EOC
Code must be documented. The following codes will be used in documenting these discrepancies:
(1) For discrepancies discovered during turnaround inspections, use DISC code K and TM
code D.
(2) For discrepancies discovered during daily inspections, use DISC code J and TM code D.
15.5.4 Work Order (WO) Work Request
a. Type WO code: WR - Work Request. The WO work request will be documented per
paragraph 15.5.43 and is used for, but not limited, to the following paragraphs:
(1) To request check, test, and service of items removed from an aircraft, equipment, or SE
for scheduled maintenance when requested work is beyond the capability of the requesting activity.
NOTE: Work requests for items removed for check, test, service, and local manufacture or
fabrication must be approved and signed by the requesting activity's Maintenance
Control and the supporting activity's Production Control.
(2) To induct items not part of aircraft or SE, for example, pilot’s personal equipment,
oxygen masks, and life preservers that require check, test, and service.
(3) To induct items from Supply for check, test, and service.
(4) To induct items from Supply for build-up, for example, engine, quick engine change kit,
and wheel and tire assembly.
(5) To induct items not having a WUC or not identifiable to a specific type of equipment for
check, test, and service or for local manufacture or fabrication.
(6) To request NDIs, either on-site or at the I-level activity, as required by supported
maintenance activities, when a TD is not involved.
(7) To induct items for RFI certification prior to installation in aircraft upon the return from
standard rework. See 15.1.2.s.(5).
b. Work Request work orders must be deleted via the Work Request Que once the work request
is complete.
15.5.5 Technical Directive (TD) Compliance
a. WO Technical Directive Compliance Procedures (On-Equipment). Type WO codes: TD -
Technical Directive, AT - Technical Directive Assist, ET - Technical Directive (Engine) SCIR, QT -
15-31
1 Feb 2021
TD removal. The WO is used to document all TD compliances. The TD compliance WO is also
used by Reporting custodians for planning workloads and material requirements, and for
configuration accounting. Data obtained from the WO allows identification of all direct man-hours
expended complying with directives. Maintenance Control originates the TD compliance WO. If
more than one work center is involved, Maintenance Control must designate one work center to be
responsible for completing the TD compliance WO, and will initiate a separate WO for each work
center to document their portion of the TD. The primary work center will be issued a Technical
Directive (TD) type WO per paragraph 15.5.54 and the other work centers will be issued a TD assist
(AT) type WO per paragraph 15.5.55. TD removals will be documented in the same manner as TD
incorporations except for MAL code. Use TD status codes listed on Appendix E for the Action
Taken Field on the WO.
b. Technical Directive Compliance Procedures (Off-Equipment). Type WO code: WR – Work
Request. TDs will frequently require off-equipment work, specifying accomplishment at I-level. In
these cases, the activity will use the one-character code, which describes the maintenance level that
was performed in M/L of the TD compliance WO. Refer to paragraph 15.5.4 for Work Request
documentation procedures.
(1) If the TD compliance is directly applicable to a component, the removal and replacement
of the component and the associated man-hours must be documented on a WO. Once the removal is
completed, the maintenance action remains outstanding until reinstallation of the component. A
separate WR WO will be generated for turn-in to the IMA.
(2) If the I-level activity informs the O-level activity that the component requires repair, the
O-level activity must initiate another WO for turn-in and requisitioning purposes using the original
JCN.
15.5.6 Aircraft Engine and Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Maintenance Documentation
15.5.6.1 General Information. The aircraft is considered to be the end item when work is
performed on engines, except for TD compliance at the O-level maintenance activity. Engines sent
to IMA or depot for any reason will be considered the end item and the turn-in document will list the
engine Assembly Cd and the engine propulsion system serial number (PSSN) or the module
SERNO. When documentation requires an engine or APU to be identified in the Removed or
Installed Item, the CAGE will reflect the engine or APU Assembly Cd and position number, for
example, JHD1. The Part Number will be left blank when Assembly Cd are used in the CAGE to
identify engines/APUs. Documentation procedures for an aircraft engine or airborne APU are the
same with the following exceptions:
a. CAGE for Material Required. When identifying an APU, enter numeric 1 for engine
position; for example, PHA1.
b. CAGE for Removed or Installed Item. When identifying an APU, enter numeric 1 for engine
position; for example, PHA1.
c. When documenting APU enter the engine hour meter or start counter reading (as applicable)
in CM Current Usage Records.
15-32
1 Feb 2021
15.5.6.2 Modular Engine TD Compliance
a. Type WO code: TD – Technical Directive.
b. Maintenance Control will generate the TD compliance WO.
c. If more than one work center is involved, Maintenance Control must initiate a separate TD
compliance WO for assist work center to document their portion of the TD.
d. If the TD has multiple parts, a separate WO must be initiated for each part.
e. TDs for modular engines will be issued against the module.
f. The WUC/UNS will be that of the module or component of the module, never the engine.
g. The Assembly Cd will reflect the equipment category and model/series of the engine.
h. If the TD applies to more than one module, a separate WO with a unique JCN will be issued
for each module.
i. TRANS code 47 will be used for a module regardless of a P/N change or a TD incorporation
on a component.
j. The JCN will be that of the activity requesting the TD incorporation.
k. When a complete engine is being turned in for TD compliance, the PSSN will be entered in
the Discrepancy block.
15.5.7 Engine Cannibalization
a. Type WO code: CM (Cannibalization).
b. Documentation procedures will be per paragraph 15.5.51 using cannibalization wizard in
OOMA.
15.5.8 Engine Inspections
a. Major Inspections. O-level activities do not perform independent major inspections on
nonreciprocating engines. This task is included in the aircraft phase inspections for installed
engines. All major inspections, for example, Handbook of Service Instructions, Hourly Engine
Maintenance Program are done at the I-level per applicable MRCs.
b. Special Inspections. All engine special inspections are documented using control, look, and
fix phase WO per major inspections of aircraft and engines (paragraphs 15.5.36 and 15.5.37). JCN
is auto generated in OOMA. Inspection WUCs have a special matrix in Appendix E to construct the
code. When reporting special inspections that apply to engines, the engine must be identified in the
(H-Z) Failed/Required Material field of the WO.
15.5.9 Support Equipment Maintenance Documentation
a. SE TD Compliance. Type WO code: TD - Technical Directive. TD compliance is
documented using the TD compliance WO per paragraph 15.5.54. Maintenance Control schedules
15-33
1 Feb 2021
all TD compliance actions and initiates all TD compliance WOs. The O-level activity originates the
TD compliance WO for each end item sent to the I-level activity for TD compliance.
b. SE Inspections/Periodic Maintenance. All inspections (except preoperational and
postoperational) and periodic maintenance actions are documented on a special inspection WO per
paragraph 15.5.36. The O-level activity will issue a WR type WO for each end item forwarded to
the I-level activity for inspections. Refer to paragraph 15.5.43 for Work Request documentation
procedures.
c. SE Repair. SE repair actions are documented on a WO per paragraph 15.5.14. The O-level
activity issues a WR WO for each end item sent to the I-level activity for repair.
15.5.10 Standard Rework Documentation
NOTE: Refer to 9.1.3 for AIRRS XRAY requirements.
a. Rework performed on aircraft (on-site) by naval aircraft industrial establishments,
contractor’s plants, and other industrial organizations designated by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM will
be documented using control, look, and fix phase documents.
b. Communication between the D-level and the squadron is crucial since the squadron is
responsible for all aircraft readiness status changes for the depot.
c. D-level activities will notify the reporting custodian upon arrival of the aircraft to be inducted
into rework. At that time, the squadron will initiate the rework control document and XRAY to
place the aircraft in rework status, per 9.1.3.
d. When the D-level activity is ready to change the status of the aircraft, the depot will notify the
squadron, which will complete the control document WO to terminate the aircraft standard rework
status.
e. Rework hours commence accumulation at standard rework control document initiation.
Rework hours stop accumulation when the CDI entry is entered on the last outstanding look phase
document.
NOTE: The rework process encompasses the look phase only for rework purpose.
f. An individual with administrative certification authority may complete and sign the control
document.
g. Detailed documentation:
(1) Type WO codes: IC - PDM, IMC/P, or EPM Control and MC - SDLM (MCI/ASPA)
Control. The control document will be initiated by the reporting activity (paragraph 15.5.44).
(2) Type WO codes: IL - PDM, IMC/P, or EPM Look Phase and ML - SDLM (MCI/ASPA)
Look Phase. Look phase documents will be issued to applicable maintenance work centers upon
initiation of the IC work order to record all O-level support of standard rework (paragraph 15.5.45)
during aircraft induction.
15-34
1 Feb 2021
(3) WUC assigned to PDM or IMC/P standard rework are sequential 030IMC1, 030IMC2,
etc. WUC assigned to SDLM (MCI/ASPA) is 030SDLM. WUCs assigned to EPM are matched to
LES Specification Numbers 03TKxxx, 03TSxxx, and 03TZxxx.
h. Look phase documents will be issued for I-level support of standard rework (paragraph
15.5.45). While functioning in this effort, I-level personnel will comply with O-level QA, tool
control, and documentation requirements.
NOTE: Look phase documents are not issued for D-level. Therefore, Work Center X43 is not
currently used and is reserved for future use.
i. Type WO codes: IF – PDM, IMC/P, or EPM Fix phase documents must be issued for repair of
discrepancies discovered during the on-site standard rework process per paragraph 15.5.46.
(1) O-level (level 1) discrepancies will be completed by the squadron.
NOTE: To provide accurate man-hour accounting by rate, corrective maintenance actions
must be documented against the host work center whenever practical (110, 120, etc.).
(2) I-level (level 2) discrepancies will be completed using the Work Request (paragraph
15.5.43).
(3) D-level (level 3) discrepancies must be accomplished by a D-level activity using assist
work center procedures per paragraphs 15.5.22. If during the repair process a repairable is required,
the repairable item must be ordered on the O-level primary WO.
NOTES: 1. I-level personnel will comply with O-level QA, tool control, and documentation
requirements.
2. Look phase documents are not issued for D-level.
3. The rework process encompasses the look phase only.
15.5.11 In-Service Repair (ISR) Documentation

CHAPTER 16
Intermediate Level (I-Level) Maintenance Documentation Procedures
16.1 General Policy and Procedures
16.1.1 Introduction
16.1.1.1 This chapter provides direction for OIMA MAF documentation for repairs and services
performed by intermediate level maintenance activities (IMA). Unless different procedures are
specifically called out, the documentation requirements of this chapter apply to repairable
components, engines, SE, AWSE, ALSS, and other items processed by the IMA.
16.1.1.2 Following are general descriptions of the types of maintenance actions IMAs must
document on MAFs:
a. On-equipment work not involving the removal of defective or suspected defective
repairables.
b. Look phase of acceptance, transfer, special, conditional, major aircraft and combined
airframe and engine special inspections, and corrosion, preservation and depreservation.
c. Fix in place actions discovered during inspection.
d. Removal of components for check, test, Facilitate Other Maintenance (FOM) or service
actions.
e. Removal and replacement actions for cannibalization.
f. Accumulated man-hours as a result of work stoppage for parts or maintenance.
g. Accumulated man-hours during or at the end of a reporting period for a job not
completed, where required by the cognizant ACC or TYCOM.
h. Maintenance actions and man-hours by assisting work center in support of a primary work
center.
i. Support of a repairable item processing through the IMA.
j. Incorporation of TDs and associated maintenance actions.
k. Removal and replacement of repairable components in end items.
l. Repair of removed repairable components.
m. Repair of subcomponents removed from repairable components.
n. Record of ordering and issue of repairable components, subassemblies, and parts.
16-1
1 Feb 2021
o. Disposition of components and subassemblies declared BCM.

p. Major inspections performed on removed engines, when initiated by an O-level activity.
q. Documentation of first-degree repair maintenance actions.
r. Troubleshooting man-hours.
s. Documenting preservation and depreservation.
NOTE: The Type Maintenance (TM) code must be used in NALCOMIS, but does not
appear on the hard copy MAF. See Appendix E for TM codes.
16.1.2 MAF Data Fields
16.1.2.1 Data Field Entries
This section describes general functions for initiating, updating, and clearing an OIMA MAF
(Figure 16-1). This section also contains an explanation of the functions required to add/delete
the NALCOMIS MAF. The codes used to describe the data throughout the sections of the MAF
are in Appendix E and the applicable WUC structure assigned to the OOMA baseline or the
WUC manual for NALCOMIS users. Specific data fields to be used and data fields requirements
are controlled by the Maintenance Data validation specifications (VALSPEC) in Appendix F.
Specific data field application and requirements are as follows:
ENTRIES REQUIRED SIGNATURE. This section is provided to ensure historical
records and OOMA CM ALS records are updated in a timely and orderly manner. Required
actions will be accomplished prior to forwarding the MAF to the data analyst for approval. Logs
and Records personnel will screen all MAFs using the appropriate function. Upon indicating
approval, NALCOMIS will electronically post their name to the MAF.
LOCAL USE. This field may be used as desired.
REFERENCE. May be used to enter the supply reference to aid the work center in
requisitioning the failed or required material.
ACCUMULATED WORK HOURS
NAME or SHIFT. Enter the name or shift of personnel performing the work.
Workers hours update will be used by the CDI or supervisor who will place their
initials in the appropriate data field. Prior to JC or job status changes, for example, work
stoppage, a sight inventory of the tool container(s) must be conducted by the Work Center
Supervisor or CDI.
EMT. NALCOMIS provides for the system generated Elapsed Maintenance Time
(EMT) through its internal clock. However, this field is not displayed in the Accumulated Work
Hour Field on the NALCOMIS MAF.
ACCUMULATED AWM HOURS. This time is automatically calculated.
16-2
1 Feb 2021
FAILED/REQUIRED MATERIAL. This section will be used to document a failed part

without an AWP situation, a failed part and an AWP situation occurring simultaneously, an
AWP situation without a failed part, and a supply request only, with no failed part or AWP
situation.
NOTE: To ensure high-usage parts stock is maintained in the Pre-Expended Bin (PEB), all
parts that contributed to the failure will be documented in the FAILED
MATERIALS field of the MAF.
INDEX. NALCOMIS will automatically provide for the proper indexing of ordered
parts. These letters represent a specific record type that will be generated via aviation 3M
processing. This allows for the 19 most significant failed parts to be reported against a specific
maintenance action. For example, assignment of index H indicates the first failed part record, Z
indicates the last and 19th failed parts record against the maintenance action. The purpose of
indexing is to flag engineering data items only, not supply usage data. Therefore, only
significant failed parts will be annotated with H - Z in this field, that is those items which are
known or suspected to have contributed to the discrepancy reported in the Discrepancy Field of
the MAF.
F/P. Enter an (x) to denote a failed part if the failed material or parts replaced during the
repair are piece parts that have failed in a major component. Common hardware, nuts, screws,
safety wire, seals, gaskets, washers, and fittings that are routinely replaced during a maintenance
action will be documented only if their failure is known or suspected to have contributed to the
discrepancy.
NOTE: PEB items not in stock and required for repair of a discrepancy will be ordered
against the MAF requiring parts.
AWP. Immediately upon receipt of notification that the repair part(s) is/are not available
on the ship/station, the Work Center Supervisor will ensure an (x) is entered if the failed/required
material is causing an awaiting parts status of the repairable item identified in the WUC Field.
Only those items that caused the AWP status will be marked (x). In all cases, even if notification
of nonavailability of repair parts is not received, the AWP component is to be delivered to the
AWP holding area within 24 hours from the time the need for a repair part was discovered by the
work center. (This field is used at maintenance levels 2 and 3.)
A/T. Enter the one-character alpha or numeric code, which describes the action taken
against the removed module, subassemblies, or significant failed parts required. AT codes are
listed in Appendix E.
MAL. Enter the code that best describes the malfunction occurring within the removed
subassembly. MAL codes are listed in Appendix E.
FSCM. Enter the CAGE code of failed part or required material.
PART NUMBER. Enter the manufacturer's part number of the failed or required
material.
16-3
1 Feb 2021
REF SYMBOL. Enter the alphanumeric code which identifies a piece part as distinct
from other items of the same part number in a single subassembly or circuit, such as four of the
same diodes within a circuit, each has the same part number but a different reference symbol.
These are found in the illustrated parts breakdown manual for the weapon system.
QTY. Enter the quantity of failed or required material.
PROJ. Enter the applicable project code.
PRI. Enter the MILSTRIP priority assigned to the material requisition.
DATE ORD. The Julian date the request was placed on order (NALCOMIS generated).
REQ NO. The MILSTRIP requisition number of the material required to complete the
maintenance action (NALCOMIS generated).
DATE REC. The Julian date that requisitioned material is received (NALCOMIS
generated).
WORK UNIT CODE. Enter the WUC that identifies the system, subsystem, or
component on which work is being performed on. All repairable items must have a WUC
assigned, which can be found by querying the applicable NALCOMIS OOMA or the
DECKPLATE WUC Baseline Report. If a WUC cannot be found for a repairable item, submit a
Baseline Trouble Report (BTR) via JDRS to the NAVAIR TEC or WUC. For consumables not
identified by specific WUC, use NHA WUC.
NOTE: General Work Unit Codes 030 (inspection) and 049 (preservation/depreservation)
are used on the MAF as the WUC for conditional and acceptance/transfer
inspections and for preservation/depreservation. Appendix E lists general and
special WUCs.
ACT ORG. The organization code of the organization accomplishing the work
(NALCOMIS generated).
TRANS. Enter the two-character numeric transaction code used to identify the type of data
being reported. Appendix E contains a complete list of these codes with definitions.
M/L. Enter the level of maintenance (1 through 3) which is performed (not necessarily the
level assigned to the activity).
A/T. Enter the one-character alpha or numeric code that describes the action that has been
taken. This code describes what action has been performed on the item identified by the WUC.
AT code A (discrepancy checked, no repair required) is used only in those cases where an
inspection or operational check has been performed and the reported trouble cannot be
duplicated or does not exist. In such cases use the MAL code 799 (no defect). Adjustments
made to peak a system, which is within tolerances, may use this code with the appropriate
malfunction code, for example, A-127, A-281, A-282. A consumable item replaced on a MAF
should reflect the system or NHA code only in the WUC field and AT Code B or C. AT Code R
16-4
1 Feb 2021
should be used in the H-Z Failed/Required Material fields for parts replaced. AT Codes are in
Appendix E.
NOTE: The TD status code is a single-character alpha code used to indicate the status of
compliance with a TD. This code applies to the action taken field of the MAF
when reporting TD status. TD Status Codes are listed in Appendix E.
MAL CODE. Enter the three-character alphanumeric code used to describe the malfunction,
which caused the maintenance action on the item described by the WUC. These codes are
divided into three logical groups to assist personnel in finding the most applicable code as
follows (MAL codes are contained in Appendix E):
(1) Conditional (no fault) Group. These codes are used when a nondefective item is
removed, or when the defect/malfunction is not the fault of the item in question.
(2) Reason for Removal Group. These codes are used to generally describe trouble
symptoms or apparent defects prompting removal of malfunctioning items for repair.
(3) Reason for Failure Group. These codes are used to generally describe underlying
defects or basic failure reasons determined during repair of items exhibiting trouble symptoms.
NOTE: Maintenance Control/Production Control must enter the appropriate malfunction
code when initiating a cannibalization MAF.
I/P. Enter the number of times that an action, indicated by an AT code, is applied to the item
identified by the WUC recorded on a MAF, for example, since the fuel nozzle of a jet engine has
a WUC, replacement of five fuel nozzles would be documented as five items processed. In
contrast, replacement of several transistors in an electronic assembly would be documented as
one item processed, with the WUC identifying the electronic assembly being repaired and the
AT code indicating repair. MAFs submitted for close outs by work centers at the end of, or
during a reporting period will indicate 0 items processed. The IP field is limited to two
characters. If the count exceeds 99, an additional form must be prepared and submitted.
HOURS. OIMA automatically calculates man-hours.
EMT. NALCOMIS, through the internal clock, will automatically calculate EMT. EMT
does not include the clock hours and tenths for cure time, charging time, or leak test when they
are being conducted without maintenance personnel actually monitoring the work. Although the
EMT is directly related to job man-hours, it is not to be confused with actual total man-hours
required to complete a job, for example, if three men worked together for 2.5 hours to make a
repair, the total man-hours would be 7.5 hours and the EMT would be 2.5 hours.
TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE ID. Enter the 12 or 13 characters that identify the specific TD
incorporated or being incorporated in the type equipment. This field is divided into seven
sections as follows:
INT. Enter an X to indicate an interim TD; otherwise leave blank.
16-5
1 Feb 2021
CODE. Enter the two-character numeric code that denotes the type of directive being
incorporated. TD codes are in Appendix E.
BASIC NO. Enter the four numeric characters identifying the basic TD, preceded by a
zero(s) to complete the field.
RV. Enter the one alpha character that denotes the specific revision of the basic TD.
Leave blank if not applicable.
AM. Enter the one numeric amendment number of the basic TD. Leave blank if not
applicable.
PART. Enter the two-character numeric part number as listed in the TD. Leave blank if
not applicable.
KIT. Enter the two-character alphanumeric number of the specific kit incorporated. If no
kit is required, enter 00 in this section.
NOTE: TDs must be on file within NALCOMIS prior to TD MAF initiation.
TYPE EQUIP. Enter the TEC that describes the end item on which work is being
performed. TEC structuring is explained in Appendix E. The specific TECs are identified in the
NAVAIR Logistics web site TEC Translator (https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/#/).
NOTE: The OOMA NALCOMIS application uses the Assembly Catalog as an expansion
of the NAVAIR assigned TEC to further identify a specific end item within the
TEC. Assembly codes (Assembly CD) are used exclusively within the OOMA
NALCOMIS application and are defined in Appendix E.
BU/SERNO. Enter the bureau or serial number of the equipment or end item on which work
is being performed. If more than six digits enter the last six; if less than six digits prefix with
sufficient zeros to total six characters. This field must not be blank. Enter 0 in this field when
using the MAF to document work on groups of like items, for example, jacks, stands, common
aeronautical equipment, or items not identified by bureau/serial number. In cases of on-
equipment work at the O-level for personal survival equipment, enter the first letter of the
aircrewman's first and last name and last four digits of the DOD ID Number (as listed on the
member’s ID card).
W/D. The WD code is a single alpha character that identifies when the need for maintenance
was discovered. The three sets of WD codes that cover the equipment categories are: (1) aircraft
and engines; (2) SE, PME, and expeditionary airfield; and (3) missiles/missile targets.
T/M. Enter the one-character alpha or numeric code used to describe the type of work being
accomplished, for example, scheduled, unscheduled, supply support. Definitions and
explanations of these codes are in Appendix E.
POSIT. Enter POSITs which are used to evaluate performance/logistics characteristics
between identical components. For NALCOMIS application users, POSITs are included in
applicable WUC manuals and are identified by a double asterisk (**) preceding the WUC. The
16-6
1 Feb 2021
OOMA NALCOMIS application identifies POSITs as a separate data element within the
applicable baseline. When a component has been identified as position sensitive, it must be
mandatory that the POSIT be documented in block A60 of the MAF. Identifiers are categorized
into two groups as follows:
General Position Codes. A two digit alphanumeric code which indicates a specific
location by use of plain language:
LH/RH - Indicates left-hand or right-hand installation, such as main landing gear
components, tires, side by side cockpit, and components.
FW/AF - Indicates fore and aft positions such as tandem cockpit components.
UP/LW - Indicates upper or lower positions, such as anticollision lights or antennas.
PR/SC/AL - Indicates primary, secondary, or alternate positions, such as hydraulic
components or multiple avionics component installations.
01, 02, 03, 04 - Indicates positions using a sequential numbering system, such as
helicopter rotor dynamic components or a numbering system used to identify the position of fuel
nozzles on a gas turbine engine.
Specific Position Codes. A two digit alphanumeric code which indicates a specific
location using alphanumeric sequencing:
A1 - Bleed Valve, Stg 5, 2 o'clock, #1 engine.
B1 - Bleed Valve, Stg 5, 4 o'clock, #1 engine.
A2 - Bleed Valve, Stg 5, 2 o'clock, #2 engine.
B2 - Bleed Valve, Stg 4, 4 o'clock, #2 engine.
FID. Leave blank (aircraft only).
SFTY/EI. Enter the locally assigned four digit control number from the NAMDRP Report
Control Number.
METER. This field is mandatory when TEC for on-equipment work is G, H, or S and
maintenance level is 1.
SE FSCM. CAGE of the end item of SE (optional).
TECH. Enter an N for all maintenance actions involving Engineering and Technical Service
(ETS) support.
INV CD. Enter the one digit inventory code that describes the status of the equipment
during the transaction (Appendix F).
PERM CD. Leave blank (aircraft only).
REPAIR CYCLE
16-7
1 Feb 2021
RECD. Date and Time. This field is automatically generated upon MAF initiation.
IN WORK. Enter Julian date and time.
COMP. Enter Julian date and time completed.
AWAITING MAINTENANCE HRS. Enter the appropriate AWM reason code for the
related maintenance action. Order of significance may be determined by local policy.
MAINTENANCE/SUPPLY REC. NALCOMIS tracks and documents all awaiting
maintenance/ supply time. This is calculated by the internal monitoring of job status as related to
supply status/ maintenance status.
REMOVED/OLD ITEM. These fields are completed in NALCOMIS using the appropriate
function, when a repairable component is removed from the end item or major component on
which work is being performed. Enter the CAGE, SERNO, and P/N or lot number for the
CART, CAD, or PAD. If the SERNO is more than 10 characters, enter the last 10. If the P/N is

16.1.2.2 Contingency VIDS/MAF Procedures
In the event OIMA is not functioning, IMAs will document maintenance on OPNAV 4790/60
VIDS/MAF forms (Figure 16-2). Procedures:
NOTE: If the OIMA system is unrecoverable, contact the Naval Information Warfare
Center Fleet Support Center at DSN 646-0534 or COMM (757) 443-0534 for a
data recovery push.
a. VIDS/MAF fields will be filled in per 16.1.2.1. Once OIMA is back on line, information
will be transcribed electronically to OIMA.
b. When using VIDS/MAF forms, Production Control must enter the JCN. The JCN is a 9,
10, or 11 character number that serves as a base for Monthly Data Report (MDR) and Production
Control procedures. The JCN allows for separate identification of each maintenance action, and
provides a link with maintenance actions performed by the IMA in support of an organization.
The JCN is composed of four parts:
(1) Organization (ORG) Code. This is a three-character alphanumeric code that identifies
an organization. It is used in the JCN to identify the organization that originally assigns a JCN to
a maintenance action. In the case of transient aircraft maintenance, the JCN will contain the
ORG code of the aircraft reporting custodian. When an activity is assigned more than one ORG
code, for example, separate codes assigned to an air station Operations Department and Aircraft
Intermediate Maintenance Department or Detachment (AIMD), the ORG code of the department
directly responsible for O-level maintenance will be used in the JCN on all source documents for
aircraft and equipment assigned to the activity. The general format structure of ORG codes is in
Appendix E.
NOTE: All supported organization codes must reside in the NALCOMIS database.
(2) Day. This is a three-character numeric code specifying the day of the year, for
example 01 January is day 001 and 15 January is day 015. This is the date the JCN was assigned
16-10
1 Feb 2021
to a maintenance action and does not necessarily reflect the date on which the work was actually
started.
(3) Serial Number. The serial number is either a three character number that runs
sequentially from 001 to 999, or a three character alphanumeric number. This number is
normally assigned in sequence as new jobs are initiated, for example, 001, 002, and 003. When
999 has been assigned, the next number in sequence will be 001. Alphanumeric serial numbers
are used only when documenting inspections other than turnaround, daily, special, conditional,
corrosion, acceptance, and transfer.
(4) Suffix. The JCN suffix is a structured alphabetic or alphanumeric code added to the
basic JCN to identify a subassembly or sub-subassembly repair action performed independently
of the major component repair. The following listing is a breakdown of the double suffix logic:
First Position Second Position Position Identification
Alpha Blank A repairable subassembly, which has repairable
sub-subassemblies.
Alpha Alpha A repairable sub-subassembly removed from a
repairable subassembly.
Numeric Alpha A repairable subassembly with no repairable
sub-subassemblies.
c. Where signatures are required, the individual will print their rank followed by their first
initial and last name in the bottom of the signature block, and sign in the top of the signature
block.
d. When additional space is required on the hardcopy MAF or VIDS/MAF to document
information on multiple entries in a data field, such as in the Failed Parts section, attach a second
blank hardcopy WO or MAF, label “page 2”, “page 3”, etc., and continue to document in the
affected field.
e. CM ALS for assemblies and parts received during contingency operations will be
obtained and added to the Primary folder in CM Inventory Explorer prior to commencing the
back fit MAFs.
NOTE: Activities receiving CM ALS from the OMAWHOLE are responsible for back
fitting all logbook historical data not previously entered into the CM ALS module
while the aircraft/asset was in the custody of a non-NTCSS Optimized OMA
NALCOMIS activity.
f. Once OIMA is available, data on the hardcopy forms must be back fitted into OIMA.
Hardcopy forms for conditional inspections will be kept on file for 6 months. Hardcopy forms
for special inspections will be kept on file until the next like inspection is completed in OIMA.
16-11
1 Feb 2021
NOTE: Special attention must be made when back fitting hardcopy MAFs and
VIDS/MAFs into OIMA to ensure correct data is entered in the correct sequence
with flight record data being applied to the correct logsets.
g. Upon completion of the back fitting process, a verification of the Maintenance module and
the ALS CM Inventory Explorer must be performed for the affected equipment or tracked assets.
h. Figure 16-4 illustrates the VIDS/MAFs documentation flow.
16.1.2.2.1 Routine Preventative Measures
a. All Work Centers will print Work Load/Buffer Management tool (BMT) reports at the
beginning of every shift and update as changes occur throughout the work shift.
b. Supply should ensure adequate amount of VIDS/MAFs are available.
c. Maintenance Control/Supply will Maintain a logbook or listing to track DDSN
assignments by work center to reflect the following information:
(1) DDSN
(2) MCN

maintain accurate and up-to-date ALS data.
b. All satellite PC's must established a JCN log (Figure 16-3). JCNs will be established as
follows:
(1) Main PC will dictate the use of JCN serial number assignment to their divisions and
satellite Production Controls (i.e. D9M043600, 601, 602). This will prevent duplication of JCN's
during back fit
(2) Inductions from tenant commands will have JCNs already annotated on the turn-in to
the repair cycle.

(2) Respective Satellite PC's must transfer/receive log set, as supported squadrons/other
activities may catch up on transfers during down-time.
16.1.3 MAF Processing
16.1.3.1 Overview
a. The Aviation Material Screening Unit (AMSU) receives the defective component with a
MAF. AMSU enters the appropriate data into NALCOMIS using the AMSU Receipt function.
Upon approval, 2 copies of MAFs are generated; one copy is attached to the defective
component for delivery to the applicable work center, and the other copy is for Production
Control.
b. The Work Center Supervisor receives the component, screens the MAF, and assigns a
worker to the maintenance action. The worker performs technical screening and commences the
repair action.
NOTE: Upon task assignment, the tool container number will be documented using the
NALCOMIS function.
c. If parts are required, the worker will order necessary parts using the appropriate function.
See 16.1.5 for requisitioning procedures.
d. Once maintenance is completed, the worker updates the MAF indicating the appropriate
action, and assigns a job status of JC. At this time a mailbox message is created for the CDI and
the worker attaches a material condition tag to the component.
e. The CDI reviews the MAF in the appropriate NALCOMIS function indicating approval.
At this time NALCOMIS will electronically assign the CDI’s name to the MAF Inspected By
Field. A mailbox message will be created for the Work Center Supervisor.
f. The Work Center Supervisor reviews the MAF in the appropriate NALCOMIS function
and screens the MAF for accuracy and completeness. Upon approval, the Work Center
Supervisor's name is electronically assigned to the MAF and a mailbox message will be created
for Production Control. At this time the AMSU is notified that the component is ready for
pickup.
16-16
1 Feb 2021
g. Production Control reviews the MAF completeness. Upon approval, the Production
Controller's name is electronically assigned to the MAF. At this time NALCOMIS generates
two MAFs; one MAF is for the work center, which is used to verify the maintenance report, and
the second MAF will accompany the component to AMSU for disposition. A mailbox message
is created to logs and records for review. Logs and Records personnel will ensure OOMA CM
ALS records are updated for the component or equipment, if applicable.
h. AMSU notifies the Component Control Section (CCS) that the component is ready for
disposition and delivers the component to CCS.
i. The Maintenance Data Base Administrator/Analyst (MDBA/A) reviews the appropriate
mailbox message and approves or rejects completed MAFs. Rejected MAFs are returned to the
work center for corrections. Approved MAFs are then submitted to DECKPLATE.
16.1.3.2 Off-Equipment Work Flow
Figure 16-5 shows the MAF flow for off-equipment work. When a NRFI component is received
at AMSU, the following induction procedures will be followed:
a. If AMSU personnel have the appropriate special maintenance qualification (SMQ), induct
the item by assigning a work priority. NALCOMIS will print two MAFs: one for Production
Control and the second to accompany the component to the work center. The accompanying
OOMA CM ALS record will be moved to an induction status.
b. AMSU personnel who do not have the SMQ to assign a work priority will induct the
component without a priority assigned. NALCOMIS creates the “PC Approval Required”
mailbox message and moves the OOMA CM ALS record to Induction Status. Production
Control approves the MAF by assigning a work priority and indicating approval. Two MAFs
will be printed; one for Production Control and one to accompany the component to the
appropriate work center.
NOTE: The Production Control copy is for local use.
c. AMSU routes the NRFI component, with a MAF, to the work center. MAF data is
maintained and updated on a continuing basis through on-line functions.
d. When directed by Production Control, the work center places the component in-work
(IW).
e. If the work center determines that repair parts are required the work center uses various
on-line functions confirming the correct part data prior to ordering. Using the appropriate
function, the work center will order the parts required. NALCOMIS provides Production
Control with specific mailbox message identifying each MAF awaiting parts approval.
Components or subcomponents that are removed and replaced will be documented in the OOMA
configuration management (CM) task. Procedures are in the OMA-UG. See 16.1.5 for
requisitioning procedures.
16-17
1 Feb 2021
f. Production Control will indicate approval by assigning a project code and issue priority
code and NALCOMIS will automatically assign the proper sequenced document date and serial
number (DDSN) for each approved part and produce required MAFs to support shop replaceable
assembly (SRA) turn-ins and work center updates. Components or subcomponents that are
removed and replaced will be documented in the OOMA CM task. Procedures are in the OMA-
UG/Online Help.
g. If the DDSN local status code reflects nonavailability of the part requisitioned, the work
center changes the MAF job status (JS) to WT (in transit to AWP locker) and routes the part with
MAF to the awaiting parts (AWP) unit. The AWP unit performs receipt function that changes
the MAF JS to WQ (Gear in AWP Work Center). For parts authorized to remain in shop, the
same procedures apply.
h. When all parts are received by the AWP unit, the MAF JS will be upgraded to WB (in
transit from AWP unit to work center) via online functions. If additional parts are required for
induction, repeat the procedures outlined in paragraphs 16.1.3.2.a. through h. above.
i. When the maintenance action is completed, the worker updates the JS to JC (job
complete). NALCOMIS creates the mailbox message for "Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI)
Approval Required" or "Quality Assurance (QA) Approval Required".
NOTE: When the MAF has been completed, if the component is RFI attach a Serviceable
Tag - Material (DD 1574), Figure 16-6, to the component before placing it inside
the shipping container. If the component is NRFI (in a BCM condition), attach a
hard copy Unserviceable Material Tag (DD 1577-2), Figure 16-7, to the
component. Attach the MAF and a paper copy of the material condition tag to the
outside of the shipping container.
j. Upon CDI or QA approval, NALCOMIS creates the "Supervisor Required" mailbox.

k. When the MAF has been approved by the Work Center Supervisor, NALCOMIS creates
the “Production Control Review” mailbox.
l. When Production Control approves the MAF, NALCOMIS prints two copies of the
completed MAF. The first copy is routed with the component and the other one is retained by
the work center for maintenance report verification. Production Control must ensure OOMA
CM ALS records accurately reflect SERNO, CAGE, P/N, status, and configuration of the
component.
NOTE: If the component is a due in from maintenance (DIFM) asset, NALCOMIS creates
the mailbox message "Completed Repair Actions" once Production Control
review function is complete.
m. AMSU or equivalent picks up the component from the work center and delivers the ready
for issue (RFI)/beyond capability of maintenance (BCM) component to the Aviation Supply
Department (ASD) with the completed MAF, Aeronautical Equipment Service Record (AESR),
Module Service Record (MSR), Assembly Service Record (ASR), Equipment History Record
16-18
1 Feb 2021
(EHR), or Scheduled Removal Component (SRC) card and RFI or BCM tag for disposition.
DIFM return moves NTCSS Optimized OMA NALCOMIS CM ALS records to RFI, BCM, or
out folder (as applicable).
n. Upon Logs and Records review, NALCOMIS prints two copies of the completed MAF;
one for Production Control's historical file (16.1.7) and the second copy for the QA review.
NALCOMIS creates the mailbox message "Data Analyst Review".
NOTES: 1. NALCOMIS generates configuration documents for updating engine
AESR/MSR and associated records.
2. Requisition and turn-in procedures for Aviation Life Support System (ALSS)
and armament equipment and repair parts must be per Type Commander
(TYCOM) guidelines (where applicable) or as established in this instruction. All
ALSS and armament turn-ins will be delivered directly to the ALSS and
armament pool. The NTCSS Optimized OMA NALCOMIS CM ALS records
will be delivered electronically to the ALSS and Armament Equipment Branch.
ALSS and armament equipment maintenance will be documented in CM task.
CM inventory will accurately reflect the physical status.
16.1.3.3 On-Equipment Work Flow
a. Figure 16-8 illustrates the document flow for on-equipment work of I-level equipment,
such as test benches, and mobile facilities. Procedures:
(1) Production Control receives the equipment and a MAF from the originating activity
for inspection or repair of support equipment (SE) and items for which the originating activity
has Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) reporting responsibility. Custody Code L items
in user subcustody are processed as user reporting IMRL items for MAF flow during
deployment. Look phase JCNs will be assigned for PM actions. When Production Control
receives SE that has an OOMA CM ALS, all maintenance will be documented using CM task.
CM Inventory will accurately reflect physical status.
(2) Production Control inducts the MAF into NALCOMIS. NALCOMIS prints two
MAFs; one for customer receipt and the second is routed to the work center.
(3) Once the maintenance action is complete, Production Control retains a copy of the
completed MAF and a copy will accompany the item back to the originating activity.
b. The MAF for each maintenance action is initiated with the following information:
(1) Type Equipment Code (TEC).
(2) BUNO/SERNO.
(3) Discrepancy (required).
(4) Equipment status (required for level 1).
(5) When Discovered Code (required).
16-19
1 Feb 2021
(6) JS (optional).
(7) JS Date (optional).
(8) JS Time (required if date entered).
(9) Work Center (required).
(10) Type Maintenance (required).
(11) Maintenance level 1.
(12) WUC (required and must be reside on the database).
(13) Work Priority (allowed with proper SMQ).
(14) Meter (required if maintenance level equals 1).
(15) System Reason (required).
NOTE: Production Control will perform the above functions for DISCD Code O
(Administrative) documents.
c. If Work priority (PRI) is not assigned, NALCOMIS creates mailbox message "Production
Control approval required". Production Control approves the MAF using the appropriate
function and routes the MAF to the work center.
d. When the maintenance action is completed, the worker updates the JS to JC.
NALCOMIS creates the mailbox message for "CDI Approval Required" or "QA Approval
Required":
(1) Upon CDI or QA approval, NALCOMIS creates the "Supervisor Required" mailbox.
(2) When the MAF has been approved by the work center supervisor, NALCOMIS
creates the mailbox message "Production Control Review".
e. When Production Control reviews the MAF, NALCOMIS prints two copies of the
completed MAF, one to be routed with the component. The second copy is retained by the work
center for maintenance report verification.
f. Upon Logs and Records Review NALCOMIS prints two copies of the completed MAF;
one for Production Control's historical file (16.1.9) and one for "QA Review". NALCOMIS
creates mailbox message "Data Analyst Review".
g. MAF flow within the Weapons Department for on-equipment maintenance of AWSE end
items will be the same as the procedures discussed above, even though several of the
maintenance functions, which are organized as separate entities in IMA, may be combined
organizationally into one in the Weapons Department. For example, Maintenance Control, the
work center, and Material Control could exist as a single point in the Weapons Department, and
the standard MAF flow procedure would still be used just as though these three entities had been
geographically, rather than organizationally, collocated.
16-20
1 Feb 2021
16.1.3.4 Removed Repairable Subassembly Component
A MAF is used to document removal and subsequent IMA processing of repairable components.
These procedures also apply to consumable components that are inducted into the IMA for
repair. Maintenance on a removed repairable component is off-equipment work (16.1.3.2) and
documented by completing the Hard Copy Notice (HCN) or MAF (paragraph 16.2.5.12).
a. Suffix MAF. NALCOMIS will generate a HCN/MAF for each repairable subassembly
approved in the Material Approval Function. Each additional MAF will be automatically
assigned a suffix to the same JCN (paragraph 16.2.5.13) used for the original maintenance
action, per paragraph 16.1. A suffix is required, even when the maintenance of the removed
subassembly is performed by the same person or shop that removed it.
b. Removed Repairable Subassembly. When ordering or documenting the removal of a
repairable subassembly in NALCOMIS the user must indicate repairable subassembly by
entering a (Y) for yes in the appropriate field. This allows NALCOMIS to set up the appropriate
JCN logic for the MAF. If no repairable sub-subassemblies are removed, this is the last
document required (paragraph 16.2.5.14).
c. Removed Repairable Sub-subassembly. If repairable sub-subassemblies are removed,
repeat the procedures in paragraphs 16.1.3.3.a and 16.1.3.3.b.
16.1.4 Material Requisitioning
Various OIMA functions are used to identify the correct part and order material. When the
requisition is placed, Production Control is notified with a specific mailbox message identifying
each MAF awaiting parts approval. Procedures:
a. Production Control will indicate approval by assigning a project code and issue priority
code. NALCOMIS will automatically assign the proper sequenced DDSN for each approved
part and produce required MAFs to support SRA turn-ins and work center updates.
b. If the item is not available within 24 hours, or the DDSN local status code reflects
nonavailability of the part requisitioned, the work center changes the MAF JS to WT (in transit
to AWP locker) and routes the part with MAF to the AWP unit. The AWP unit performs receipt
function that changes the MAF JS to WQ (Gear in AWP Work Center). For parts authorized to
remain in shop, the same procedures apply. Production Control is notified of the status change
via NALCOMIS.
c. If a repairable SRA is requisitioned, the DDSN assigned by NALCOMIS becomes the
turn-in document number on the MAF initiated by the work center for that SRA. NALCOMIS
issues a suffix JCN from the original JCN and the work center packages and preserves the SRA
for induction into the repair activity having cognizance.
d. When all parts are received by the AWP unit, the MAF JS will be upgraded to WB (in
transit from AWP unit to work center) via online functions. The component and parts are
delivered to the work center.
16-21
1 Feb 2021
e. A component may go through the AWM, in work, and AWP process many times before
being RFI or it is determined that the item must be shipped to another activity for repair. If so,
ensure the above steps are taken each time the status of the component changes.
f. The following steps are taken to process a WRA for BCM-4 action:
(1) Notify Production Control of the status change from AWP to in work.
(2) Ensure all SRAs are installed and secured, and all documentation is provided for any
missing SRAs.
(3) Preserve for off-station processing.
(4) Complete MAF documentation and notify Production Control of the status change
from in work to BCM-4 via local procedures.
g. NALCOMIS will generate a MAF once the repairable component ordered is approved
using the Material Approval Process, this turn-in will have the same JCN as the end item, except
components removed for calibration. If the component is from supply stock, the turn-in
document will reflect the supply JCN per paragraphs 16.2.5.10 and 16.2.5.11. If the component
is removed from an end item, the document will be generated by NALCOMIS for the work
center that removed it. A turn-in document is required even when the maintenance on the
removed component is performed by the same person or shop that removed it.
16.1.5 Inter-IMA Work Center Assist
The following procedures are used when one work center requires assistance from another work
center within the same IMA:
a. The primary work center generates a MAF using the Work Center Assist/Support MAF
Initiation function.
b. Production Control approves the assist MAF using the appropriate on-line function.
NALCOMIS will produce (two) MAFs; one for the assisting work center and one for Production
Control.
c. When the assist MAF has been completed, a copy of the MAF will be provided to the
primary work center.
16.1.6 Repair and Return
a. Processing defective components for shipment to another IMA for Repair and Return:
(1) AMSU receives the defective component with a completed MAF with AT Code D,
condition tag, and associated records or NTCSS Optimized OMA NALCOMIS CM ALS records
from the work center and forwards them to Document Control Unit (DCU).
(2) DCU processes the component via the DIFM return function.
16-22
1 Feb 2021
(3) Supply ships the component with MAF, associated records, and DOD Single Line
Item Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) per local supply procedures. NTCSS Optimized
OMA NALCOMIS CM ALS records are transferred electronically to the unit identification code
(UIC) that the component is shipped to.
b. Processing defective components received from another IMA for Repair and Return:
(1) Supply receives the defective component with the D-action MAF, associated records
or OOMA CM ALS records, and DOD Single Line Item Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-
1) per local supply procedures.
(2) Supply delivers the defective component, MAF, and associated records or OOMA
CM ALS records to AMSU.
(3) AMSU inducts the MAF, fills in the Repair and Return, and the Owed Org field.
(4) AMSU receives the component with a completed MAF, and associated records or
OOMA CM ALS records from the work center or production control.
(5) The Component Control Section (CCS) receives the component from AMSU and
processes it to the originating I-level activity via the DIFM return function.
(6) Supply ships the component with MAF, associated records, and DOD Single Line
Item Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) per local supply procedures. OOMA CM ALS
records are transferred electronically to the UIC that the component is shipped to.
c. Processing components returned from another IMA as a result of a previous BCM Action:
(1) Supply receives the component, MAF, associated records, or OOMA CM ALS
records and DOD Single Line Item Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) per local supply
procedures.
(2) Supply delivers the RFI component and records or OOMA CM ALS records to the
customer. NRFI components received are processed per local procedures.
NOTE: Components shipped as RFI but without an RFI tag will be inducted into the IMA
for check and test. The CCS will initiate the work request using a supply JCN via
on-line functions.
d. See 16.2.3.6 for additional information on repair and return.

16.1.7 Depot Level Beyond Capability of Maintenance Interdiction (BCMI)
Documentation
This section describes documentation processes and procedures for BCMI maintenance actions
and D level associated Supply data for those I-level activities with embedded D-level artisans.
These activities are responsible for training D-level artisans on OIMA procedures and ensuring
the documentation is accomplished correctly.
16-23
1 Feb 2021
16.1.7.1 I-Level Induction, D-Level BCMI/RFI Process
A component is received from supply and is inducted by JASU into an I-level work center. If
the work center determines the repair action is beyond I-level repair capability but within the
capability of an assigned D-level artisan, the following will occur:
a. The I-level work center notifies Production Control and the artisan the I-level work center
requires D-level assistance in the repair, and documents man-hours invested in the attempt to
repair.
b. The D-Level artisan goes in work using the BCMI web-based application.
c. The D-level orders any repair parts required using the BCMI web-based application,
repairs the component, documents man-hours, the level of maintenance performed, and signs off
the MAF as RFI.
d. I-Level Induction, D-Level BCMI/RFI Documentation Procedures
(1) The I-level work center will change the current status of the MAF to M1 (AWM
Depot).
(2) The work center will update work hours and tools and complete Transaction Code,
Action Taken Code, Malfunction Code, and Items Processed. The work center must use the
“Notes” tab to provide additional information to the D-level artisan.
(3) The D-level artisan will go in work, order parts, update accumulated work hours,
shift, and tool box information using the BCMI web-based application.
(4) After the D-level artisan completes repair, the artisan updates the job status to M1,
updates the Transaction Code, Action Taken Code, Malfunction Code, and Items Processed.
This allows the artisan to update/change the MAF prior to moving to a JC status.
(5) On the Sign-off tab, validate the MAF. Errors will be displayed in the Error Message
List sub-screen. All errors must be corrected prior to the MAF being moved to a JC status.
(6) Once all errors are corrected, validate MAF again, change the M1 status to JC and
perform sign-offs in the Corrected by, Inspected by and Supervisor blocks (as applicable).
(7) Production Control scan locate the sign-off in the PC Review Mailbox and clear it.
16.1.7.2 I-Level Induction, D-Level Repair, and I-Level RFI Process
A component is received from JASU and inducted into the I-level work center. The I-level work
center determines that depot repair is required; however, the final RFI function belongs to the I-
level work center. The following will occur:
a. The I-level work center notifies Production Control and the artisan the I-level work center
requires D-level assistance in the repair and documents man-hours invested in the initial
maintenance.
16-24
1 Feb 2021
b. If the D-level artisan assigned to perform the repair is assigned to a D-level work center,
the I-level technicians will initiate an assist MAF to that work center. D-level artisans directly
assigned to the I-level work center must document their repair on the original MAF.
c. The D-Level artisan goes in work using the BCMI web-based application.
d. The D-level artisan orders any repair parts, documents man-hours and work performed,
signs off assist MAF (if applicable) and notifies I-level personnel that D-level work is complete.
e. I-level technician performs final RFI of item, D-level artisan inspects/verifies and signs
“Inspected By” certifying item is RFI if assist MAF was not used (if both are assigned to the
same work center).
f. I-level Induction, D-level Repair, I-level RFI Documentation Procedures. The following
(1) A component is received from Supply and is inducted by into an I-level work center.
(2) The I-level work center can go in work, order parts, etc.
(3) The I-level work center determines that required repair is beyond I-level capability
and will change the status of the MAF to M1 (AWM Depot).
(4) The I-level work center will notify Production Control of the need for D-level artisan
repair. If the D-level artisan assigned to perform the repair is assigned to a D-level work center,
the I-level technicians will initiate an assist MAF to that work center. D-level artisans directly
assigned to the I-level work center must document their repair on the original MAF.
(5) The I-level work center must ensure all tools are accounted for and all work hours are
correct on the original MAF. The work center must use the “Notes” tab to provide additional
information to the D-level artisan.
(6) The D-level Artisan will go in work, order parts, update accumulated work hours,
shift, tool box information and complete the repair action using the BCMI web-based
application.
NOTE: All parts required by an artisan to accomplish the repair must be ordered with a D
level work center and identified as a failed part (indexed) on the MAF. The BCMI
web-based application eliminates the requirement for D-level artisans to identify
all ordered parts as failed parts (indexed) in order to capture MAINT/L 3 costs.
(7) Once the repair is complete, the D-level artisan will update the MAF to M6 Status or
sign-off the assist MAF.
(8) The D-level artisan will notify Production Control/I-level work center that the repair
is complete and the need for further I-level work center maintenance.
(9) The D-level artisan will validate the MAF to ensure the MAF is correct and all tools
have been accounted for.
16-25
1 Feb 2021
(10) The D-level artisan may use the “Notes” tab to provide additional information that
assists the I-level technicians in the final RFI of the component.
(11) The I-level work center completes the maintenance/RFI run.
(12) The D-level artisan signs the “Inspected By” of the MAF/WO if the highest level of
repair for the item was maintenance level 3.
NOTE: D-level artisans must be assigned the necessary SMQs for authorized work center
functions (e.g. “Inspected By” block).
16.1.7.3 D-Level SRA Induction and RFI Process
This scenario is basically the same as an internal SRA repair performed currently, but the ICRL
may need to be updated to reflect the appropriate work center’s capability to repair the SRA. D-
level artisans and I-level technicians should be integrated into the same work center. Work
center integration enables adding the SRA to the I-level work center’s ICRL using the
appropriate D-level capability code (Figure 10.20-2).
16.1.7.4 New Capability Process
This scenario uses the same processes that are currently used when adding new capability to an I-
level work center. D-level artisans and I-level technicians should be integrated into the same
work center. Work center integration enables adding the SRA to the I-level work center’s ICRL
using the appropriate D-level capability code (Figure 10.20-2).
16.1.7.5 D-Level Assist Process
A component is inducted by JASU into an I-level or D-level work center. During the repair,
assistance is required. Regardless of the maintenance level required for the assist, an assist MAF
will be initiated using existing O-level or I-level NALCOMIS assist MAF procedures. This
applies when repairable parts are not required. Examples include, but are not limited to: NDI,
2M repairs, welding, etc.
NOTE: By definition, a 2M artisan is unable to determine if an item is RFI until the item is
tested using an approved procedure defined in NAVAIR approved publications.
Therefore, 2M artisan procedures are the same as I-level 2M procedures.
Specifically, the original work center will order required parts and forward, with
SRA (circuit card assembly, etc.) and an assist MAF to the D-level 2M artisan.
Once the required repair is complete, the SRA (circuit card assembly) will be
forwarded back to the original work center to verify RFI status.
16.1.7.6 Artisan I-level Training/Assistance Process
D-level artisans should use OIMA to clock man-hours expended on training I-level technicians.
If the artisan is assigned to the same work center as the I-level technician, training hours will be
documented on the original MAF within the I-level work center. If the D-level artisan is
16-26
1 Feb 2021
assigned to a D-level work center, the I-level technicians will initiate an assist MAF to that work
center to account for training hours.
16.1.8 Historical Files
a. Production Control will maintain a historical file with copies of completed inspection
MAFs for a minimum of 6 months from the date the MAF was completed. MAFs for preventive
maintenance (PM) inspections will be maintained for 6 months or one complete inspection cycle
whichever is greater. The historical file will be arranged in sequence of equipment
nomenclature, SERNO, and JCN, that is JCN within SERNO within nomenclature. Activities
have the option of establishing historical files by work center as long as the above filing order is
maintained. A temporary file may also contain those MAFs with a close out Action Taken Code
of L or N.
b. Completed engine MAFs must be maintained in the engine historical file by engine type
and serial number, in JCN sequence, for 6 months from the completion date on the engine
induction MAF. The file must contain the completed MAFs for repairs/inspections of the
engine, engine test cell performance sheets, and all the completed local forms generated for pre-
induction screening.
16.2 I-level Maintenance Source Documents
16.2.1 Support Equipment (SE), Training Devices, and Missile Target Documentation
16.2.1.1 General policy
Maintenance on SE, training devices, and missile targets will be documented per the procedures
in this section.
16.2.1.2 On-Equipment SE Work
a. The discrepancy MAF initiation function will be used to initiate MAFs for on-equipment
work performed on an end item of SE, except for calibration. (Refer to paragraph 16.2.2. for
calibration documentation.) If no repairable component is removed, the worker will initiate the
MAF using the appropriate update function. Paragraphs 16.2.5.1 through 16.2.5.8 show on-
equipment documentation. On-equipment work requiring MAF initiation:
(1) Repairing an end item.
(2) Removing a repairable component from an end item for any reason, including
calibration.
(3) Compliance with a TD on an end item.
(4) Inspecting an end item.
(5) Documenting preservation or depreservation.
(6) On-equipment cannibalization.
16-27
1 Feb 2021
16.2.1.3 O-Level IMRL Reportable SE
A MAF is used to induct O-level SE into the IMA for repair, periodic inspection, and TD
compliance (paragraph 16.2.5.9). A requesting activity delivers the MAF and SE to the IMA.
Production Control signs the MAF acknowledging receipt of the SE. Use the appropriate
function inducting the item creating a MAF.
16.2.1.4 SE Repair
SE repair is documented per the applicable MAF procedure of 16.2.5.

16.2.1.5 SE Inspections and Periodic Maintenance (PM)
SE inspection (except preoperational and postoperational inspections) and PM are documented

per the procedures of 16.2.5.15, 16.2.5.16. and 16.2.5.17.
16.2.1.6 SE Corrosion Documentation
a. Corrosion prevention performed per MRCs (scheduled maintenance) will be documented

on the inspection look phase MAF. This includes SE washing performed as part of a scheduled
inspection.
b. Corrosion treatment requirements found during the look phase of an inspection will be
documented on a fix phase MAF. The treatment of bare metal is included in this category. Use
AT Code Z and the appropriate Malfunction Code per Appendix E.
c. All unscheduled corrosion prevention is documented on a MAF. Unscheduled SE
cleaning and temporary repairs of bare metal are included in this category. Multiple items
processed may be documented. Use Work Unit Code 040, AT Code 0, Malfunction Code 000,
WD Code O, and TM Code D.
d. Unscheduled corrosion treatment actions are documented on the MAF using AT Code Z
and the appropriate Malfunction Code per Appendix E.
16.2.1.7 SE Preservation and Depreservation
a. MAFs are used to document preservation/depreservation of end items per NAVAIR 17-1-
125.
b. When Production Control approves the preservation/depreservation MAF, NALCOMIS
will automatically assign a numeric serial number JCN. This MAF will be used as the control
document. WUC 049 and TM code D will be used.
c. Upon completion of the preservation/depreservation action the control document will be
processed by Production Control with 1 item processed entered in the items processed field of
the MAF.
16-28
1 Feb 2021
d. MAFs are issued to each work center participating in the preservation/depreservation

action. If only one work center is involved in preservation/depreservation action, man-hours
may be accounted for on the control document.
16.2.1.8 SE Technical Directive (TD) Compliance
SE TD compliance will be documented on a MAF per paragraphs 16.2.5.18 through 16.2.5.22.

16.2.1.9 SE Inventory Reporting MAF.
16.2.1.9.1 Definitions. The SE inventory reporting system provides the SE reporting custodian
with a list of major assets on hand. These reporting system requirements are in addition to the
AMMRL Program and do not negate the reporting requirements published in NAVAIRINST
13650.1. The following terms are used throughout this section in describing how to document
inventory transactions:
a. Controlling Custodian. Support Equipment Controlling Authorities (SECAs) are
responsible for fleet distribution and management of SE assets.
b. Reporting Custodian. Reporting custodian is the activity (usually I-level) having primary
custody of the SE as indicated on the IMRL.
c. Inventory Codes. Inventory status codes define the reporting requirements and current
status of SE in the inventory reporting system. Inventory Code 0 applies to SE. Inventory 0 also
applies to training devices and missile targets that are required to be inventoried, but for which
no mission capability data is collected.
d. Transaction Codes. SE inventory transactions are described by the transaction codes in
Appendix E.
(1) Inventory Gain (Transaction Code 00). An inventory gain is the receipt of an SE unit
into inventory reporting by a reporting custodian. SE and missile targets will be gained with an
inventory status of 0 only.
(2) Inventory Loss (Transaction Code 03). An inventory loss is when a reporting
custodian transfers an SE unit or strikes it from naval service. An inventory loss is documented
only if the unit has previously been gained and is in the inventory system.
NOTE: Paragraphs 16.2.5.23 and 16.2.5.24 provide examples of MAFs used to document
equipment gain or loss.
16.2.1.9.2 Inventory System Documentation Procedures. The following lists the codes necessary
to properly document inventory transactions:
Transaction Inventory
Code Code Inventory Transaction
00 0 Gain into inventory of an equipment that is inventoried but
for which no mission capability data is collected. These
16-29
1 Feb 2021
items will only be gained or lost and will require no change

in material condition reporting status (MCRS) reporting.
This code is used for SE, training devices, and missile target
inventory reporting and is not applicable to aircraft.
03 0 Loss from inventory of equipment that is inventoried but for
which no mission capability data is collected. These items
will only be gained or lost and will require no change in
MCRS reporting. This code is used for SE, training
devices, and missile target inventory reporting and is not
applicable to aircraft.
16.2.1.9.3 Change of Reporting Custodian. All maintenance actions are terminated when an
equipment transfer involves a change of reporting custodian. This is done by completing the
maintenance action on the completed line as of 2400 on the date of the equipment transfer.
Transaction Code 11, AT Code N, and 0 items processed will be used. The only name required
is that of the supervisor. Refer to paragraph 16.2.1.9 for a description of inventory procedures
required for the change of reporting custodian.
16.2.2 Calibration
16.2.2.1 Calibratable Item METER Card. The Precision Measuring Equipment (PME) Work
Center (Work Center 670) of IMAs participating in the MEASURE Program documents all
calibration and repair actions on the METER Card per OP43P6B. A METER Card is initiated as
a turn-in document for any end item or component processed to the PME Work Center for any
reason. The provisions of this paragraph are not applicable to any maintenance actions
performed on the calibratable building blocks (BBs) of the any automatic test equipment (ATE).
These maintenance actions, including those incident to an off-line or on-line calibration action,
must be documented on the MAF. The calibration actions associated with any calibratable ATE
BB must be documented on the METER Card.
16.2.2.2 Calibration MAF. A MAF is used by work centers, other than Work Center 670 to
document all maintenance actions except calibration. When a component is removed from an
end item for processing to the PME Work Center (for calibration or repair), a supporting MAF is
generated to account for man-hours and EMT expended removing and reinstalling the
component. A separate MAF with a different JCN is required for each component removed.
Paragraph 16.2.5.25 is an example of a MAF documenting the removal of a component for
processing to the PME work center on a METER Card.
NOTE: Only PME that requires parts to be ordered will be inducted via NALCOMIS
procedures. All other repair actions will be completed on the METER Card. NO
EXCEPTIONS.
16-30
1 Feb 2021
16.2.3 Aeronautical Component Documentation Procedures
16.2.3.1 Component Repair
16.2.3.1.1 If administrative screening of the turn-in component (paragraph 16.2.5.26) reveals

check, test, and repair capability exists or the repair capability has not been established within
the IMA, the screening unit will notify the IMA Production Control that the component is
available for scheduling into the appropriate work center for screening and repair. The screening
unit will enter the Julian date the item was received in the RECD Field. When the screening unit
is notified of the repair schedule for the component by Production Control, the following
information will be entered on the MAF. Paragraph 16.2.5.27 is an example of a BCM action by
AMSU.
16.2.3.1.2 AMSU delivers the component and MAF to the appropriate work center. The MAF
remains open until final disposition of the component is known. Any supporting documentation
will be done on additional MAFs. Some of the situations requiring supporting documentation
are:
a. Close Out. A close out of incomplete maintenance actions may be required by local
managers for the end of each reporting period. Each maintenance action will be closed out as of
the last day of the reporting period or upon transfer of the equipment.
b. Work stoppages due to a lack of parts.
c. Troubleshooting. When it is necessary to separate troubleshooting man-hours from repair
man-hours, the troubleshooting man-hours are accounted for on a separate MAF. The existing
MAF remains outstanding until the repair action is completed. Documentation of failed/required
material and removed or installed items is done only on the repair action MAF (paragraph
16.2.5.28).
d. Assisting Work Centers Supporting the Basic Repair Action. When more than one work
center works on the same maintenance action, one work center is designated the primary work
center and the other work centers are assisting work centers. The primary work center will
generate a separate MAF for each assisting work center with the same JCN and DISC Code V.
If the assisting and primary work centers work on the same WUC item, the assisting work center
accounts for 0 items processed. Assist MAF documentation will be to the work center that the
personnel performing the task are permanently assigned regardless of the physical location of the
repair station (paragraphs 16.2.5.29 and 16.2.5.30).
16.2.3.1.3 If repairable subassemblies or modules are faulty, a new MAF is initiated for each
subassembly or module per paragraph 16.2.5.31.
a. Suffix and Double Suffix MAF. For each removed subassembly, module, or sub-
subassembly, document per paragraphs 16.2.1.3, 16.2.5.32, and 16.2.5.33.
b. Material Requisitioning. When a demand is placed on supply for a replacement
subassembly, module, or sub-subassembly using the suffix or double suffix JCN, NALCOMIS
16-31
1 Feb 2021
will enter the JCN on the DOD Single Line Item Requisition System Document (DD 1348-1)
issue document that is generated at ASD. This action is necessary to establish the requirement
for a local repair cycle asset of subassemblies and modules to stock PEBs. The suffix or double
suffix MAF is forwarded to Supply, with the remainder of the suffix or double suffix MAF
processed the same as for any repairable item.
16.2.3.1.4 Failed/Required Material. The requirement for repairable subassemblies, modules, or
sub-subassemblies will be recorded in this field of the original (major component) or
subassembly MAF per paragraph 16.2.1.3 with the following additional requirements:
a. Project. Enter the MILSTRIP project code assigned by Production Control.
b. Priority. Enter the MILSTRIP priority assigned to the material requisition.
c. Date Ordered. NALCOMIS generated.
d. Requisition Number. NALCOMIS generated.
e. Date Received. NALCOMIS generated.
16.2.3.1.5 Retain the major component, subassembly, or module MAF. In the case of an AWP
situation, the major component, subassembly, or module MAF will be forwarded with the
defective component to the AWP unit.
16.2.3.1.6 When it becomes necessary to transfer a repairable item off ship or station because of
a lack of parts (BCM-4), the unavailable items are entered in the Failed/Required Material fields
and Maintenance/Supply Record fields will be completed to reflect AWP time. Use of AT Code
4 is restricted to occasions when the same AT code is entered for a major assembly identified by
the WUC. Complete the MAF via normal MAF clearing cycle. When the maintenance action is
completed, the Work Center Supervisor gives the component, the MAF, and material condition
tag to the material delivery representative, and retains a copy of the MAF for MDR verification.
16.2.3.2 Cannibalization.
Any order to cannibalize must come from Production Control who will issue and approve a
cannibalization action for the removal and replacement of a component being cannibalized.
Document cannibalization actions per paragraphs 16.2.5.34, 16.2.5.35, and 16.2.5.36.
16.2.3.3 Matched Set.
The repair of matched sets will be documented in the same manner shown in paragraph
16.2.5.37.
16.2.3.4 Tire and Wheel Documentation.
A built-up tire and wheel assembly is treated as a major repairable component with repairable
subassemblies. If a wheel assembly has a different SERNO on each wheel half, the SERNO of
the valve core half will be used for control and documentation purposes. Man-hours for routine
processing of the wheel, such as cleaning and painting, will be documented on the turn-in MAF.
16-32
1 Feb 2021
NDI will be documented on an assist MAF. A MAF prepared by supply will be required when a
wheel assembly replacement must be built up to replenish the supply pool. Supply must submit
a work request for “Test and Check” when an RFI tag is missing or unreadable. The Work
Center Supervisor will inspect the tire to determine serviceability. If unserviceable, the work
request will be signed off with A/T code “F” and the tire carcass will be marked for retread or
scrap and BCM Code 1 or 9 used (as appropriate) (paragraph 16.2.5.38).
NOTE: The unserviceable tire will be returned to supply and identified with the
appropriate code to indicate retread or scrap. Supply will establish a pool based
on the appropriate wheel assembly, part numbers, stock numbers, or pool index
numbers. All requests will be against this number. Supply must pre-expend or
subcustody tires to the tire shop as required. Tires requisitioned on a one-for-one
basis must be ordered using the Failed/Required Material Fields of the MAF.
Enter AT Code R for tires that are categorized as repairable and must be
accounted for on the turn-in MAF. A turn-in suffix MAF is generated
automatically for each tire that is BCM.
16.2.3.5 Battery Documentation.
Batteries will be turned in to the IMA on a MAF turn-in document. They will be documented as
follows:
a. Batteries received for scheduled maintenance and not requiring maintenance other than
servicing, use Transaction Code 31, AT Code A, and MAL Code 804.
b. Batteries received for repair or scheduled maintenance and requiring maintenance other
than servicing, use Transaction Code 31 or 32, AT Code C, and an appropriate MAL Code.
c. EMT does not include the clock hours for charging time when maintenance personnel are
not actually monitoring the work.
d. A MAF will not be created for end of service (EOS) unless maintenance requirements
need to be documented.
16.2.3.6 IMA Repair and Return Support.
In some instances an IMA will be required to transfer NRFI repairables to another IMA for
repair, such as post deployment off-load by a carrier IMA, or shipment of a BCM item to an
IMA known to have repair capability. Documentation procedures in these instances are as
follows:
a. Transferring IMA Close Out (post and predeployment). Paragraph 16.2.5.39 is an
example of a MAF for post and predeployment close out.
(1) Close out the original MAF, entering the appropriate AT Code (Appendix E) and any
man-hours and EMT expended prior to transfer. In the case of post deployment off-load, use of
AT Code D is mandatory, whether the item was AWP, AWM, or IN WORK at the time of off-
load. In other instances, a BCM Code will ordinarily be appropriate. The MAF will be
16-33
1 Feb 2021
submitted by the transferring IMA for processing; a copy of this MAF will accompany the item
to the AMSU or AWP unit and will be shipped with the component to the receiving IMA.
(2) WRAs must have all D-level repairable SRAs installed prior to closing out the MAF
for shipment to the receiving IMA. Likewise, SRAs with attaching D-level repairable SSRAs
must have attaching SSRAs installed prior to closing out the MAF for shipment of the SRA to
the receiving IMA.
(3) WRAs missing FLR components will have such components installed prior to closing
out the MAF for shipment to the receiving IMA provided the component is still available.
Otherwise, document the missing FLR component per the following paragraph.
(4) When a field level repairable SRA has been removed from the WRA and no
replacement SRA is installed prior to off-load, document the close-out (original) MAF as
follows: Failed/Required Material Index - Enter H-Z for each "missing" module, subassembly or
sub-subassembly (as appropriate). Failed Part - Enter an X (as appropriate). Awaiting
Parts - Enter an X (as appropriate). AT code - Enter P. MAL, FSCM, Part Number, Ref
Symbol, Qty, Date Ordered, Requisition Number - Enter appropriate data to identify the missing
unit. Date Received - Enter date the requisition was cancelled. Transaction Code - Enter 32.
(5) On turn-in MAF, ensure FSCM, PN, Ref Symbol, Qty, Date Ordered, and Ref
Number of H-Z field are filled in for each "missing" module, subassembly, or sub-subassembly
(as appropriate).
NOTE: To allow for proper supply documentation ensure CCS is notified of missing FLR
SRAs from the WRA to be shipped off-station. Supply must cancel any off-
ship/station requisitions for missing FLRs prior to closing out the MAF. The
importance of proper documentation cannot be overemphasized.
b. Receiving IMA Reinitiation Document. Paragraph 16.2.5.40 is an example of a

reinitiated MAF from a transferring IMA. Upon receipt of a repairable item from another IMA,
receiving AMSU will forward a copy of the MAF to the local supply CCS. Subsequent
repair/disposition will be documented on the new MAF per paragraph 16.2.1.3, except that the
RECEIVED DATE field will reflect the date the component was received from the transferring
IMA.
16.2.3.7 Receipt of Unsatisfactory Material from the Supply Department.
When components received from supply prove unsatisfactory, these procedures will be followed.
a. Component received, installed, and determined to be NRFI:
(1) Complete original MAF, Failed/Required Material fields.
(2) Requisition a replacement component using original MAF, Failed/Required Material
Fields. NALCOMIS will automatically generate a turn-in document to accompany the NRFI
component. Ensure the MAF is completed per paragraph 16.2.1.3 with the following exception:
WD CODE field must be "Y" (received bad from Supply).
16-34
1 Feb 2021
b. Component received NRFI (not installed) or improper replacement received. Turn-in the
NRFI/improper component to the AWP unit. The AWP unit will prepare a DOD Single Line
Item Release Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) using Record Type 62 for return of the material to
Supply Response Section (SRS). Ensure all accompanying documentation, for example, RFI tag,
SRC Card, and MAF are returned with all items.
16.2.3.8 Component Received Missing SRC Card, ASR, MSR, or AESR.
Components, assemblies, or equipment received from supply missing SRC cards, ASRs, MSRs,
or AESRs must be considered as NRFI and turned in on a DOD Single Line Item Release
Receipt Document (DD 1348-1) prepared by Material Control. If the component is installed and
cannot be determined to be new, it must be considered as faulty. Paragraph 16.2.5.41 is an
example of a MAF documented for turn-in of a component that is missing the SRC card. Items
missing ASRs, MSRs, or AESRs should be documented in a similar manner.
NOTE: If the determination can be made that the component is in fact new, an SRC Card,
ASR, MSR, or AESR will then be initiated by the requisitioning activity.
16.2.3.9 Corrosion Supporting MAF.
Documentation of man-hours expended for corrosion prevention during the repair of

WRAs/SRAs are considered part of the repair process and are included on the repair MAF
(paragraph 16.2.5.42).
16.2.3.10 Processing of Items Not Having a WUC or Not Identifiable to a Specific Type
Equipment.
The maintenance effort in check, test, servicing of items or equipment for which no WUC exists
or that cannot be identified to a specific TEC is documented as described in paragraph 16.2.3.12,
MAF Work Request.
16.2.3.11 Repair of Supply Assets.
The repair of supply assets will be documented in the same manner as discussed in paragraph
16.2.1.3 with the following exceptions:
a. The local supply department will initiate a MAF completing all required data elements.
b. JCN assignment will be made by the Supply Department using the organization code
assigned to the Supply Department, for example, A8D or C84. Refer to Maintenance Data
VALSPEC in Appendix F.
c. When in receipt of an applicable TD for compliance, the Supply Department, working
with the IMA QA, will screen all assets to ensure modification incorporation (where applicable).
d. The IMA Production Control and Supply will schedule applicable/required maintenance
actions in a timely manner. Paragraph 16.2.5.43 is an example of the MAF documented for an
end item turned in from a supply activity for TD compliance.
16-35
1 Feb 2021
16.2.3.12 Maintenance Action Form (MAF) Work Request
16.2.3.12.1 The MAF Work Request is used to document man-hours expended in support of
work or assistance that is beyond the requesting activity's capability and does not involve repair
of aeronautical material. It is used primarily for, but is not limited to, the following:
a. Inducting items from supply for buildup, such as engines and propellers.
b. Inducting items not having a WUC or not identifiable to a specific type equipment for
check, test, service, manufacture, or fabrication.
c. Requesting NDI either on-site or at the IMA when a TD is not involved.
NOTE: Work requests for items removed for local manufacture or fabrication must be
approved and signed by the requesting activity's Maintenance Control Supervisor
and the supporting activity's Production Control Supervisor. Batteries received
for check, test, or service will be documented per paragraph 16.2.3.5. ALSS and
AEP will be documented per paragraph 16.2.3.2.5.
16.2.3.12.2 Examples of MAF Work Requests are in paragraphs 16.2.5.44 through 16.2.5.52.
16.2.3.12.3 This and subsequent paragraphs outline the procedures for documentation and
processing of maintenance requirements when approved and signed by both the requesting
activity's Maintenance Control Supervisor and the supporting activity's Production Control
Supervisor or their authorized representatives. Upon receipt of the MAF work request and
item(s), Production Control will sign a copy of the MAF work request, acknowledging receipt of
the item(s), and return it to the originating activity. Upon completion of check, test, or
manufacture, the work center will notify Production Control of job completion. A copy of the
MAF will be attached to the item(s) and routed to Production Control who will notify the
originating activity that the item(s) is/are ready for pickup. Production control will issue the
item(s), with a MAF attached to the item(s) and inform the originating activity that the item(s)
is/are ready for pickup.
16.2.3.12.4 Items completing check, test, or local manufacture will be processed as described in
paragraphs 16.2.5.44 through 16.2.5.52.
16.2.3.13 ALSS and Armament Equipment Pool (AEP) MAF Documentation Procedures.
a. ALSS and AEP items will be turned into the IMA on a MAF turn-in document. They will
be documented as follows:
(1) ALSS/AEP received for scheduled maintenance and not requiring maintenance, use
Transaction Code 31, AT Code "A" and MAL Code 804.
(2) ALSS/AEP received for unscheduled or scheduled maintenance and requiring
maintenance use Transaction Code 31 or 32, AT Code "C" and an appropriate MAL Code.
(3) EMT does not include clock hours for leak check time when maintenance personnel
are not actually monitoring the work.
16-36
1 Feb 2021
(4) Requisition and turn-in procedures for ALSS/AEP assemblies and repair parts must
be per standard induction/requisition procedures. All turn-ins will be delivered directly to the
respective pool work center.
b. Examples of ALSS and AEP MAF documentation are in paragraphs 16.2.5.53 through
16.2.5.63.
16.2.3.14 Cartridges (CARTs), Cartridge Actuated Devices (CADs), and Propellant
Actuated Devices (PADs) Documentation
Replacement of installed explosive devices requires an individual MAF for removal and
replacement of each device. The removal and replacement action will be documented in the
REMOVED/OLD ITEM and INSTALLED/NEW ITEM blocks using Transaction Code 18 or 19
(as appropriate). The WORK UNIT CODE block (A22) must reflect the WUC that is assigned
in OOMA NALCOMIS baseline or, for NALCOMIS users, obtained from the WUC manual.
The PART NUMBER blocks (E23 and G23) must reflect the lot number of the devices being
removed and installed. TIME/CYCLES blocks (E42 and G38) must have an entry using
Time/Cycle Prefix Code H and the container open date for CARTs or CADs and the propellant
manufacture date for PADs. An example is in paragraph 16.2.5.133.
16.2.3.15 Supply Asset Induction.
Supply assets missing the material condition tag/history records will be inducted per paragraphs
16.2.5.64 and 16.2.5.65.
16.2.3.16.1 If a TD is complied with at the O-level (on-equipment work), all maintenance

actions will be documented on a MAF.
16.2.3.16.2 If during compliance with a TD it becomes necessary to forward an item to the IMA
for modification or inspection and return, the following procedures will be followed:
a. If the IMA informs the O-level activity that the item requires repair, the O-level activity
must initiate another MAF for turn-in and requisitioning purposes using the original JCN and
will be documented by the IMA. The outstanding TD compliance MAF originally provided to
the IMA will be destroyed. After the repair action is complete, Production Control will then
initiate a replacement TD compliance MAF using a supply JCN.
b. Items processed in excess of 1 may be entered only when the TEC Field contains a code
beginning with Y, D, S, H, or G or ending with 9 and is either a nonserialized item or does not
include a part number change in the REMOVED/OLD ITEM or INSTALLED/NEW ITEM
fields. Serialized items for which a part number change is reflected in fields E or G must be
accomplished on an individual TD compliance MAF.
16.2.3.16.3 Examples of TD MAFs are in paragraphs 16.2.5.66 through 16.2.5.70.
16-37
1 Feb 2021
16.2.3.17 Stricken Aircraft Components
The Supply Department manages the Stricken Aircraft Reclamation and Disposal Program per
paragraph 6.6.6. Supply will initiate a MAF work request to induct salvaged components for
IMA verification of material condition. The MAF will be prepared per 16.2.5.64 with the word
"SALVAGED" in the Discrepancy field. A copy of the MAF is retained in the Component
Control Section (CCS) suspense file. When reclaimed components are determined to be RFI,
they will be tagged with a Serviceable Tag - Material (DD 1574), Figure 16-6, and put in stock
as a gain by inventory. If NRFI, the salvaged item will be tagged with an Unserviceable
Material Tag (DD 1577-2), Figure 16-7, and processed with BCM Action Type code D and
shipped to the designated repair point.
NOTE: Refer to 10.43.13, and OPNAVINST 3750.6 for general procedures for recovery,
reclamation, and transfer of crash damaged aircraft.
16.2.4 I-Level Engine, Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), and Support Equipment Gas Turbine
Engine (SEGTE) Maintenance Documentation Procedures
16.2.4.1 Overview
a. Documentation procedures are broken down into two parts; conventional engines
(paragraphs 16.2.5.71 through 16.2.5.102) and modular engines (paragraphs 16.2.5.103 through
16.2.5.132.
b. Documentation procedures, whether an aircraft engine, APU, or SEGTE are the same with
the following exceptions:
(1) Failed/Required Material FSCM Field. When identifying an APU or SEGTE always
enter numeric 1 for engine position; for example, PHAB1.
(2) Removed/Old Item or Installed/New Item FSCM Fields. When identifying an APU
or SEGTE always enter numeric 1 for engine position; for example, PHAB1.
(3) Removed/Old Item or Installed/New Item Time/Cycles Fields. When documenting
APU or SEGTE enter the engine hour meter or start counter reading (as appropriate).
16.2.4.2 Corrosion Documentation.
a. Corrosion prevention performed per MRCs (scheduled maintenance) will be documented

on the inspection look phase MAF. This includes SE washing performed as part of a scheduled
inspection.
b. Corrosion treatment requirements found during the look phase of an inspection will be
documented on a fix phase MAF. The treatment of bare metal is included in this category. Use
AT Code Z and the appropriate Malfunction Code per Appendix E.
c. All unscheduled corrosion prevention is documented on a MAF. Unscheduled SE
cleaning and temporary repairs of bare metal are included in this category. Multiple items
16-38
1 Feb 2021
processed may be documented. Use Work Unit Code 040, AT Code 0, Malfunction Code 000,
WD Code O, and TM Code D.
d. Unscheduled corrosion treatment actions are documented on the MAF using AT Code Z
and the appropriate Malfunction Code per Appendix E.
16.2.4.3 Engine Repair
a. Control Document. The turn-in document will be retained as a control document until the
repair is complete.
b. All man-hours and EMT expended in accomplishing the repair will be documented on the
MAF.
c. The same JCN will be used for repair actions requiring the removal and replacement of
consumable components and fix-in-place discrepancies.
d. Suffix JCNs will be used for repair actions requiring the removal and replacement of
repairable components.
e. Examples of conventional engine repair documentation are in paragraphs 16.2.5.71
through 16.2.5.83.
16.2.4.4 Major Engine Inspections
16.2.4.4.1 Control Document.

a. For engines turned in solely for inspection, the turn-in document will serve as the control
document for the inspection.
b. For major engine inspections after repair, IMAs will initiate a MAF to serve as the
inspection control document. The JCN will be provided by the O-level activity in the
Discrepancy Field of the turn-in MAF.
c. If only one work center is involved in the inspection, look phase man-hours and elapsed
maintenance time may be entered on the control document. If more than one work center is
involved, a supporting MAF must be documented for each work center involved in the
inspection.
16.2.4.4.2 WUC. The WUC for engine inspections will be constructed in the following manner:
a. First three positions will be 030.
b. Fourth through sixth positions will reflect the hour level of the engine inspection (divided
by 10) being performed. For example, a 900-hour engine inspection would be recorded in these
positions as 090.
c. Seventh position is zero.
(1) Example: The WUC for a 900-hour engine inspection would be as follows: 0300900
16-39
1 Feb 2021
d. When MRCs do not specify a specific interval for a major inspection, the hour level will
be calculated by multiplying the number of aircraft phases times the phase interval. As an
example, for the T56-A-14, the WUC 0301200 would be used for the major inspection.
16.2.4.4.3 Repair Document. Job Control Number Fields. Enter the same data elements as on
the control document but with sequential numbering in the second and third positions of the
serial number for example, A01, A02. If more than 99 numbers are required for this purpose,
refer to paragraph 16.1.2.2b for additional JCN information.
16.2.4.4.4 Examples of engine inspection documentation are in paragraphs 16.2.5.84 through
16.2.5.91.
16.2.4.5.1 Technical Directive Compliance MAF Initiation. TD compliance MAF initiation can
be originated from three sources; supply activity, O-level, and I-level Production Control:
a. The supply activity originates the TD compliance MAF using a supply JCN for TD
compliance on all engines or engine components held as supply stock. Examples of
documentation are in paragraphs 16.2.5.92, 16.2.5.93, and 16.2.5.94.
b. O-level activities originate the TD compliance MAF using an O-level JCN for engines or
engine components sent to the IMA solely for TD compliance. Examples of documentation are
in paragraphs 16.2.5.95, 16.2.5.96, and 16.25.97.
c. I-level Production Control originates the TD compliance MAF for engines or engine
components inducted for repair which require TD compliance. Examples of documentation are
in paragraphs 16.2.5.98 and 16.2.5.99.
16.2.4.5.2 O-level activities requesting assistance from the IMA in the incorporation of a TD
must use the procedures per paragraphs 16.2.5.100, 16.2.5.101, and 16.2.5.102.
NOTE: If an engine or engine component sent to the IMA for a TD compliance is found to
require repair, the IMA will inform the O-level activity which must provide a
turn-in MAF for documenting the repair action. The original TD compliance
MAF is destroyed and Production Control initiates a replacement TD compliance
MAF using a supply JCN.
16.2.4.6 Modular Engine Repair
Paragraphs 16.2.5.103 through 16.2.5.117 are examples of repairs on modular engines and
associated components. The TEC Field will reflect the equipment category and model/series of
the engine. For modules, the engine application series (fourth position) will be X, for example,
the F404-GE-400 module would be TXAX.
16.2.4.7 Modular Engine Major Inspections.
Modular Engine inspections are documented in the same manner as 16.2.4.4. Examples of major
modular engine inspection documentation are in paragraphs 16.2.5.118 through 16.2.5.126.
16-40
1 Feb 2021
16.2.4.8 Modular Engine Technical Directive (TD) Compliance
16.2.4.8.1 All TDs for modular engines will be issued against the module.
16.2.4.8.2 WUC will be that of the module or component of the module but never the engine.
16.2.4.8.3 The TEC Field will reflect the equipment category and model/series of the engine.
For modules, the engine application series (fourth position) will be "X", for example, the F404-
GE-400 module would be TXAX. If a component is being sent from supply for TD compliance,
the TEC will be for the equipment category model/series with an X in the application series
(fourth position), for example, an F404-GE-400 engine component separate from a module
would be TXAX.
16.2.4.8.4 If the TD applies to more than one module, a separate MAF will be issued for each
module.
16.2.4.8.5 Transaction Code 41 will be used with modules that do not have a part number
change.
16.2.4.8.6 Transaction Code 47 will be used for either a module with a part number change or a
TD incorporation on a component. Removed/Old Item Fields and Installed/New Item Fields will
be completed.
16.2.4.8.7 JCN will be that of the activity requesting the TD compliance.
16.2.4.8.8 When a complete engine is turned in for TD compliance, the propulsion system serial
number (PSSN) will be reflected in the Discrepancy Field.
NOTE: If an engine or engine component sent to the IMA for a TD compliance is found to
require repair, the IMA will inform the O-level activity which must provide a
16.2.4.8.9 Examples of TD compliance on modular engines, modules, and their associated

components are in paragraphs 16.2.5.127 through 16.2.5.131.
16.2.4.9 Engine or Module Component Cannibalization
Production Control, when authorized by Supply, will initiate cannibalization actions for awaiting
parts repair or non-mission capable supply or partial mission capable supply situations. The
removal of components for cannibalization and the replacement of components after
cannibalization will be documented on one MAF using the procedure outlined in paragraph
16.2.5.132.

16.2.5.8 On-Equipment Cannibalization
Cannibalization is the removal of an RFI item from one piece of equipment so that it may be
used in a different piece of equipment. Cannibalization is controlled by Maintenance
Control/Production Control, and should be authorized only when it appears that Supply cannot
respond in time to avoid the curtailment of the operational commitment. The cancellation of a
cannibalization JCN should occur only if no cannibalization action has been physically started.
In the event that the actual removal for cannibalization action has been initiated/completed and
the requirement is cancelled, reinstall the cannibalized item, documenting the action as if it were
to FOM. Figure 16-16 is an example of cannibalization and subsequent replacement of a
component from an end item and is documented on a VIDS/MAF in normal manner of a
removed and replaced component. The following data fields require entries for a completed

APPENDIX E
Maintenance Documentation Codes
ACTION TAKEN (AT) CODES

All codes listed below may be used for both on equipment or off equipment work unless
otherwise noted.
A. Items of Repairable Material, Weapon or Support System Discrepancy Checked No

Repair Required.
This code is used for all discrepancies, which are checked and found that either the reported
deficiency cannot be duplicated, or the equipment is operating within allowable tolerances.
Adjustments may be made under this code if the purpose of the adjustment is to peak or optimize
performance. When adjustments are made, the malfunction description (MAL) code should reflect
the reason for the adjustment, for example, A-127, A-281, A-282. If the purpose of the adjustment
is to bring the equipment within allowable tolerances, AT Code C should be used, for example, C-
127, C-281, C-282. Additionally, this code will be used on all maintenance actions forms (MAF)
work requests for documenting local manufacture or fabrication.
B. Repair or Replacement of Items.

The repair or replacement of these items, such parts as attaching units, seals, gaskets, Packing,
Tubing, Hose, and Fittings, that are not integral parts of work unit coded items or components.
These parts are not identified by work unit codes (WUC) and are normally a connecting or attaching
link between two or more components that do have WUCs assigned. Therefore, when items of this
nature are repaired or replaced, this AT Code is used. In case of doubt regarding which component
to identify, the WUC of the component serviced will be used.
C. Repair.
This code is entered when a repairable item of material, which is identified by WUC, is repaired.
Repair includes cleaning, disassembly, inspection, reassembly, lubrication, and replacement of
integral parts; adjustments are included in this definition if the purpose of the adjustment is to bring
the equipment within allowable tolerances (see AT Code A). This code also applies to the
correction of a discrepancy on a weapon or support system (when appropriate).
D. Work Stoppage, Post and Predeployment, and Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA)
Support.
This code is entered to closeout MAF when component repair is to be performed at another
facility (see NOTE).
E-1
1 Feb 2021
F. Failure of Items Undergoing Check and Test.

Work Request and I-level Assisting Work Center MAFs only.
J. Calibrated - No Adjustment Required.

This code is used when an item is calibrated and found serviceable without need for adjustment.
If the item requires adjustment to meet calibration standards, use code K. This code applies to test,
measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) only.
K. Calibrated - Adjustment Required.

This code is used when an item must be adjusted to meet calibration standards. If the item needs
repair in addition to calibration and adjustment, use another code indicating the proper maintenance
action. This code applies to TMDE only.
L. Work Stoppage - Awaiting Parts.

This code is entered when a maintenance action must be stopped or delayed while awaiting
parts, which are not available locally, and a component goes into an awaiting parts status. Use of
this code is restricted to the I-level. No entries will be made in the (H-Z) Failed/Required Material
section of the close out MAF.
N. Work In-Progress - Close out.

This code is entered by an organizational activity when it becomes necessary to close out a
maintenance action during or at the end of a reporting period for any reason, including Subsystem
Capability Impact Reporting (SCIR) change, WO close out. This code will be entered by an IMA to
close out for any reason except awaiting parts (see AT Code L).
P. Removed.
This code is entered when an item of material is removed and only the removal is to be
accounted for. In this instance delayed or additional actions are accounted for separately (see also
codes R, S, and T).
Q. Installed.
This code is entered when an item is installed and only the installation action is to be accounted
for.
R. Remove and Replace.

This code is entered when an item of material is removed due to a suspected malfunction and the
same or a like item is reinstalled (see NOTE).
S. Remove and Reinstall.

This code is entered when an item of material is removed to facilitate other maintenance and the
same item is reinstalled. AT Code S is limited to MAL Codes 800, 804, and 811.
E-2
1 Feb 2021
T. Removed and Replaced for Cannibalization.

This code is used when an item of material is removed and replaced as a cannibalization action.
Y. Troubleshooting.
This code is used when the time expended in locating a discrepancy is great enough to warrant
separating troubleshooting time from repair time. Use of this code necessitates completion of two
separate documents, one for the troubleshooting phase and one for the repair phase. When
recording the troubleshooting time separately from the repair time, the total time taken to isolate the
primary cause of the discrepancy is recorded on a separate MAF, using the system, subsystem, or
assembly WUC (as appropriate).
Z. Corrosion Treatment.
Includes cleaning, treatment, priming, and painting of corroded items that require no other
repair. This code is always used when actually treating corroded items, either on equipment or in
the shop.
0. Phase and Special inspections, Corrosion Preservation and Depreservation

The numeric 0 will be used in the Action Taken section on all source documents recording look
phase man-hours for acceptance, transfer, special, conditional, major aircraft and combined airframe
and engine special inspections; and corrosion, preservation, and depreservation including the close
out of man-hours on the look phase of those inspections at the end of the reporting period.
NOTE: AT Code D is used only when the Transaction (TRANS) Code in block A32 of
the MAF is 31 or 32. AT Code R may be used when the TRANS Code in block
A32 of the MAF is 11, 12, 18, 19, 23, or 25. The use of AT Code R may be used
in block A35 if one of the following conditions is met: (1) if item removed is
identified by a WUC; (2) for TRANS Code 11 an assisting work center, when
the primary work center used AT Code R. For the assisting work center the
item processed must be "0"; (3) for TRANS Code 18 or 19 only when the work
unit coded items are time sensitive or require entries in logbooks/AESR, such as
spark plugs and CADs; (4) for TRANS Codes 23 or 25. AT Codes P, 0, and S
are also used for engine identification in the (H-Z) Failed/Required Material
section of the MAF.
AT Codes 1 through 9 are restricted to those repairable items of material which have been
administratively or technically screened and found to be nonrepairable at an IMA (by designated I-
level personnel authorized to make these determinations). In keeping with the philosophy of repair
at the lowest practicable level, the IMA is authorized to perform any and all functions for which it
has or can be granted authority and the capability to perform and meet performance specifications.
If more than one BCM code applies, the code reflecting the most serious logistic support deficiency
will be used.
E-3
1 Feb 2021
BCM 1 - Repair Not Authorized

This code is entered only when the activity is specifically not authorized to repair the item in
applicable directives, for example, required maintenance function not assigned by Source,
Maintenance, and Recoverability (SM&R) code, Maintenance Instruction Manuals (MIM),
maintenance plan, other technical decision, peculiar item from an aircraft not supported by an
activity, and SM&R coded XXXXD.
BCM 2 - Lack of Equipment, Tools, or Facilities

This code is entered when the repair is authorized but cannot be performed because of a lack of
equipment, tools, or facilities, for example, required equipment is on individual material readiness
list (IMRL) but authorized quantity is zero, receipt of authorized IMRL equipment not expected
within 30 days (zero quantity on hand), return of required equipment from repair or calibration not
expected within 30 days, non-IMRL tools and equipment not on hand, lack of permanently installed
facilities, specifically directed by the ACC/TYCOM.
BCM 3 - Lack of Technical Skills

This code is entered when repair is authorized but cannot be performed because of a lack of
technical skills, for example, permanent billet will be vacant for more than 30 days; temporary
additional duty (TAD) billet will be vacant for more than 30 days; billet incumbent absent, for
example, TAD or leave; formal technical training is nonexistent; formal technical training exists but
cannot be used due to lack of quota or funds; rating, Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC), or Military
Occupational Specialty (MOS) required is not reflected on manpower authorization; rating, NEC, or
MOS is on board but billet not assigned to IMA.
BCM 4 - Lack of Parts

This code is entered when repair is authorized but cannot be performed because required parts
will not be available within guidelines established by applicable directives.
BCM 5 - Fails Check and Test

This code is entered when the activity's authorized level of maintenance is limited to check and
test only and repair is required.
BCM 6 - Lack of Technical Data

This code is entered when repair is authorized, but cannot be performed because of a lack of
technical data. For example, maintenance manuals or test program sets exist but cannot be obtained
within 30 days, maintenance manuals or test program sets do not exist or cannot be identified within
30 days, applicable manuals or test program sets are available, but do not provide adequate technical
information.
E-4
1 Feb 2021
BCM 7 - Beyond Authorized Repair Depth

This code is entered when some level of repair beyond check and test is authorized but the
maintenance function required to return the item to a ready for issue (RFI) condition is not assigned
by SM&R code, maintenance technical manuals, maintenance plan, or other technical decision.
BCM 8 - Administrative
This code is entered when repair is authorized and feasible but not attempted due to an
Engineering Investigation (EI) exhibit, scheduled removal component (SRC) data unknown and
cannot be determined, item under warranty, excessive backlog, budgetary limitations, materials in
excess of requirements, or specifically directed by the ACC/TYCOM.
NOTE: The determination to use BCM 8 for excessive backlog will be made jointly by
the maintenance and supply officers. BCM 8 for materials in excess of
requirements and budgetary limitations require ACC/TYCOM approval.
BCM 9 - Condemned
This code is entered when a repairable item is so severely worn or damaged that repair is not
feasible, as determined by local maintenance personnel, or specifically directed by ACC/TYCOM.
The item is locally condemned and returned to the Supply Department for survey, retrograde, or
scrap (as appropriate) per applicable directives.

ORGANIZATION (ORG) CODE STRUCTURING

Purpose
ORG codes are three-character codes that identify the reporting and processing activities
associated with maintenance and operational data. The first character of the ORG code is structured
to facilitate the grouping and summarization of data by major commands. The second and third
characters are assigned to identify specific units within the major command. Organizational
relationships to CVW, MAG, Wing, or Base as well as Local IMA and Supply are also dynamically
maintained within the ORG code system, including begin and end dates for these assignments.
Aircraft reporting custodians are also assigned a PUC controlled by COMNAVAIRFOR (N422D).
Detailed listings of assigned codes are available in the DECKPLATE Organization Code Translator
located within DECKPLATE Reference Lookups.
General Guidelines
a. ORG codes will not ordinarily be changed as a result of the internal reorganization or
relocation of units within a major command.
b. ORG codes will not be changed when an activity has a name change.
c. An ORG code will not be reassigned to another activity. An ORG code will be reassigned
only when organizations are reestablished or returning to the major command from which
previously assigned. ORG codes are assigned and are unique to activities. Examples: Squadrons,
Detachments, Force Level Ship IMAs and Supply Departments, Unit Level Ships, Organic and
Commercial Rework Activities, Foreign Military, etc. Codes are managed within DECKPLATE
AIRRS by COMNAVAIRFOR N422D. Organizational relationships to
MAG/CAG/Wing/IMA/ASD/Homeport are also dynamically maintained within this system,
including begin and end dates for these relationships. Ongoing minor changes in organizational
relationships as well as entity name changes should be brought to the attention of
COMNAVAIRFOR (N422D) via e-mail at cnap-av3m@navy.mil so that the accuracy of
relationships can be maintained expeditiously. Activities with responsibility as aircraft reporting
custodians are also assigned a PUC controlled by COMNAVAIRFOR (N422D).
Code Structuring
The first character of an organization code indicates a major command:
A - Atlantic Fleet Squadrons and Shore Stations
B - Atlantic Fleet Squadrons with Detachments
C - Atlantic Fleet Ships
D - Pacific Fleet Ships
F - Atlantic Fleet Marine Force Activities
G - Pacific Fleet Marine Force Activities

P - Pacific Fleet Squadrons and Shore Stations
Q - Pacific Fleet Squadrons with Detachments
R - Naval Air Reserve Training Activities
S - Marine Air Reserve Training Activities
T - Naval Air Training Activities
W - Naval Air Systems Command Activities
Z - Miscellaneous Activities
Squadrons with Detachments

Squadrons that normally operate detachments are assigned codes in the B series (Atlantic Fleet)
and Q series (Pacific Fleet). A zero in the third position of the code, for example, BE0, will
designate the parent activity. Detachments of these squadrons will be assigned permanent
organization codes within the structure of the basic code assigned to the parent activity, for example,
BE1, BE2. The parent activity will request appropriate code changes, additions, or deletions when
(1) forming a detachment that is not listed in the master list, or (2) disestablishing a detachment
listed in the master list. Requests can be sent via the cognizant Wing, Marine Aircraft Wing
(MAW), or Immediate Superior In Command (ISIC) by naval letter or e-mail. Message address:

included as an information addressee. Requests will include the detachment designation, PUC,
deployment location, effective date of the detachment formation or disestablishment, and a brief
reason for the change.
Request for Addition, Deletion, or Change of ORG Codes

Requests for additions, deletions, or changes to ORG codes must be submitted by naval letter to
COMNAVAIRFOR (Code N422D) via the cognizant Wing, MAW, or equivalent ISIC.

TIME OR CYCLE PREFIX CODES

The alphabetic codes listed below are to be used to prefix entries in the removed and installed
section on the WO/MAF to denote type of data being reported. All entries in this section will be
preceded by an alphabetic prefix, and sufficient zeros will be added between the prefix and the first
significant numeric character to make a total of five digits.
A. Type Equipment Time

Used to report the removal and installation of equipment not having an hour meter installed or
an Aeronautical Equipment Service Record (AESR), Assembly Service Record (ASR), Module
Service Record (MSR), Equipment History Record (EHR), or Scheduled Removal Component
(SRC) card maintained. This reflects the total type equipment time in whole hours only, on the end
item from which the component was removed. All entries in these sections must be five digits, for
example, report 27 hours type equipment time as A0027. If Type Equipment Time exceeds 9,999
hours, record the last four digits only, for example, 10,231 hours would be recorded as A0231. For
equipment without logbooks, where Total Type Equipment Time is unknown, such as Test,
Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), use A0000.
B. Captive Flights
Total number of captive flights on the equipment. (For use with missiles and missile targets
only.)
C. Operating Hours or Counts on Components Having MSR, ASR, EHR, or SRC Cards
Use total time since rework or overhaul, if known, whole hours only. If unknown, use time
since new. For ASR, EHR, or SRC components or modules using other than hours or counts for
time/cycle monitoring system accounting, use appropriate code.
D. Days
Number of days
E. Operating Hours or Counts for Items Having an AESR

For items which have an AESR, for example, engines, propellers, in-flight refueling stores, and
for components of these items where Code C does not apply, enter time since rework or overhaul if
known, whole hours only, as recorded in the AESR. If unknown, enter time since new. For AESR
items using other than hours or counts for time/cycle monitoring system accounting use appropriate
code.

M. Meter Time
Number of accumulated hours on equipment and components as shown on the hour meter.
(Enter whole hours only.)
N. Rounds Fired
Enter the total number of rounds fired since overhaul, if available; otherwise, enter the total
number of rounds fired since new. Data will be rounded to the nearest hundred for entering on the
maintenance document. If the figure exceeds 999,999 drop the left most digit and round off to the
nearest hundred. Examples: 46 rounds would be reported as N0000, 68 rounds would be reported
as N0001, 638 rounds would be reported as N0006, 2,437 rounds would be reported as N0024,
180,779 rounds would be reported as N1808, 1,000,241 rounds would be reported as N0002.

TYPE EQUIPMENT CODES (TEC)

This section describes the general format of Type Equipment Codes (TECs) and Optimized
Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) assembly codes used in the Maintenance Data
System (MDS). Specific TEC management information can be found in NAVAIR Technical
Manual 00-25-8, Business Rules for Assignment and Management of WUC and TEC. Activities
requiring specific TEC/OOMA assembly code information should contact the NAVAIR
TEC/OOMA Assembly Team at tecmgr@navy.mil.
TECs are four character codes which identify either the end item or category of equipment on
which work is performed. Codes in each specific category are structured in the manner best suited
to describe the equipment concerned. Detailed TEC assignments can be found in the TEC
Translator section of the DECKPLATE Web site
(https://deckplate.navair.navy.mil/cognos/bi/?perspective=classicviewer&pathRef=.public_folders%

se). To maintain the stability of historical data, a TEC is considered unique to an end item over its
life cycle and for a designated time period after it has been retired. Post-retirement time periods are
as follows:
Aircraft and UAS Control Systems – 20 years
All other TECs – 7 years
ASSEMBLY CODE (ASSY CD)

An Assembly Code is an alternative means of identifying an end item used exclusively within the
OOMA NALCOMIS application. OOMA Assembly Codes are structured as a three or four-
character alpha-numeric code that will only be used in the event a Type Equipment Code (TEC)
assignment is not practical. Each Assy CD will have a direct relationship to a
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM approved TEC. In instances where an Assy CD is associated with
multiple TECs, the TEC/Assembly Code Manager COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department
will determine and assign a primary TEC for data warehousing purposes.

WHEN DISCOVERED (WD) CODES

WD Code Explanation for Aircraft and Engines
A. Before Flight - Abort
This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered after the aircrew accepts the
aircraft and maintenance discrepancy causes the flight to be cancelled.
B. Before Flight - No Abort

This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered after the aircrew accepts the
aircraft, but the maintenance does not cause cancellation of the flight.
C. In-Flight - Abort
This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered in-flight and it becomes necessary
to abort the flight.
D. In-Flight No Abort
This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered in-flight and it is not necessary to
abort the flight.
E. After Flight/Between Flight - Aircrew

This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered between flights, for example,
during a passenger stop, a pilot notices a drop in fuel pressure.
F. Pilot/NFO Inspection
This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered during a pilot/NFO aircraft
inspection which is not flight related.
G. Acceptance/Transfer Inspection
This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered during an acceptance/transfer
inspection, regardless of the depth of the inspection.
H. Between Flights - Ground Crew

This code is used when a need for maintenance is discovered between flights by personnel other
than the aircrew, for example, a taxi director notices an oil leak from an engine while directing a

WORK CENTER CODES

The following standard Work Center Codes are prescribed for use in the MDS. Work centers
may be division, branch, or section level elements of the organization representing functional areas
of responsibility to which maintenance personnel are permanently assigned.
Work Center Codes will be selected from this appendix and assigned locally to the depth
necessary to reflect the organizational structure in effect.
NOTE: The third position of the work center code can be locally assigned where needed at the
discretion of the MO/AMO. Division and Branch association are identified by the
first and second position of the work center code and must be maintained.
Work Center Codes in this section are structured to correspond with a standard organization.
These codes may be changed only with approval of COMNAVAIRFOR (N422). Recommendations
for changes will be submitted per Chapter 1.

NOTES: 1. O-level Work Center Codes may be assigned or used by an IMA if the IMA is
responsible for performing O-level maintenance functions.
2. This work center will be used for non-aircraft maintenance, local organization
purposes only. No documentation in the Aviation 3M Data System is allowed using
this work center code.
3. Work Center 250 will ordinarily be under the administrative control of the local
operations department.
4. I-level Work Center Codes may be assigned or used by an O-level activity, if the
O-level is designated as responsible for performing I-level maintenance function.
5. May be used only when the IMA has been specifically designated by
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM to perform the function (formerly "SX").
6. (All Intermediate Level activities only) All work centers that include the terms
division and branch, for example, 400, 500, 600, 51X, and 62X, are considered
administrative work centers. Administrative functions may be combined at the
branch or division level for work centers with minimal manning. However, a more
specific Work Center Code will be used for the documentation of maintenance and
production efforts.
7. Artisan work centers are considered virtual work centers and were designed to
capture maintenance and production data only. They are not intended to maintain
administrative processes, such as required reading boards, maintenance technical
manual libraries, or associated collateral duties. The majority of these work
centers do not contain enough personnel to maintain those administrative functions.
E-66
1 Feb 2021
These functions must be maintained in the corresponding branch or traditional I-

level work center.
8. The occurrence of standard rework (on-site) will be documented by Maintenance
Control. The control MAF/WO will be issued to X40.
9. To provide accurate man-hour accounting by rate, corrective maintenance
actions must be documented against the host work center whenever practical, for
example, 110 and 120.
