AVIATION MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS FUNDAMENTALS
112.1 Discuss the following maintenance management resources:
Ref (a) COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2, Vol I, NAMP
Ref (b) COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2, Vol III, NAMP
a. MMP (Ref a, Ch 12) – The purpose of the Monthly Maintenance Plan is to
provide scheduled control of the monthly maintenance workload. The MMP
includes inspections, transfers of aircraft, compliance with TD’s,
requirements for SE, material, manpower, training, and any other
factors affecting the maintenance operation. The publication of the
MMP is the responsibility of the MMCO.
b. MDBA/A or SA/A (Ref a, Ch 12) – The Maintenance Data Base
Administrator/Analyst or the System Administrator/Analyst shall provide
qualitative and quantitative analytical information to the MO allowing
continuous review of the management practices within the
activity/department. This billet will be established at the O or I
level to monitor, control, and apply the Maintenance Data System (MDS)
within the activity.
c. NALCOMIS reports (Ref b, Ch 7) – NALCOMIS provides a modern, real time,
responsive, computer based management information system. Detailed
description of NALCOMIS in Sec 201.
d. MDR’s (Ref b, ch. 3) Maintenance Data Reports are prepared from data
submitted on Copy 1 of the MAF and is printed in three parts. Part I
contains data that has passed the VALSPECs. Part II is a cumulative
report containing all records submitted during the current reporting
period which contains errors that have not been corrected. Part III
will be printed to show any correction/deletion records which cannot be
applied to the local data base due to erroneous data.
e. 3M Summary (Ref b, Ch 4) – Maintenance and Material Management (3M)
Summary places MDS data into a format that that all maintenance
personnel can easily understand. To be of practical use to management,
summarized reports must be compiled, studied, and analyzed by all
supervisory personnel in the maintenance activity. The most common
format for presenting equipment maintenance and utilization data on a
monthly basis is the monthly maintenance summary. The monthly
maintenance summary provides a coordinated combination of MDS reports
to highlight specific problem areas and improve overall maintenance
management. Trends may be detected and corrected before they reach
crisis levels through analysis over a period of time. The monthly
maintenance summary contains various displays; for example, charts,
graphs, and tables that are used to present the results of analysis.
Several examples of the various charts, graphs, and tables that are
used in the monthly maintenance summary are contained in the latest
edition of OPNAVINST 4790.2.

d. Inspection intervals
Ref (g) NA 01-1A-509, Aircraft Weapons Systems Cleaning and C/C
The minimum frequency and extent of these inspections are established by the
aircraft programs of the parent service organizations. However, during
scheduled or unscheduled maintenance actions on aviation equipment or
components, the area involved as well as those within 3 feet or 36 inches (18
inches on each side) of the repair or treatment area shall be visually
inspected for corrosion. Additional inspections may be necessary in areas
which are particularly prone to corrode, such as magnesium gear boxes, wheel
and flap wells, and bilge areas. Areas which are corrosion prone are
discussed in Section II of this chapter. GENERAL INSPECTIONS. A general
inspection of aviation equipment or components is performed as follows: a.
Clean the area thoroughly (as described in Chapter 2) or, for water sensitive
areas, wipe the area with a clean cloth dampened with an approved solvent.
CAUTION
Prior to removing any access covers or panels primed with TT-P-2760 flexible
primer, score the sealant at the edges of the cover/panel with a sharp
plastic tool to prevent fraying the paint finish when the panel is removed.
b. If corrosion is suspected, examine the area with a 10X magnifying glass
and flashlight. Examine edges of skin panels, rivet heads, and corrosion
prone areas. If there are blisters, bubbles, or other coating irregularities
present, attempt to dislodge the paint by scraping with a sharp plastic tool.
If paint does not easily dislodge and corrosion is not suspected, the
irregularity is probably confined to the paint film itself and no further
action should be taken. When corrosion is suspected but no irregularities
are present, apply a strip of 3M No. 250 (preferred) or A-A-883 Type II,
flatback masking tape over the clean, dry area. Hand rub the tape for
several strokes in order to assure good adhesion, and remove the tape with an
abrupt lifting motion. Where paint is removed, inspect and determine the
degree of corrosion (paragraph 3-4.).

information is the MAF with a general WUC of 040 or MAL Code 170. It is a
simple matter to determine whether any specific portion of the aircraft, by
WUC, needs additional attention. The report is sorted as follows: (1)
Action ORG (major sort). (2) TEC. (3) BU/SERNO. (4) WUC. c. Totals (1) A
one-star (*) total is printed for each change of WUC, BU/SERNO, TEC, or ORG.
(2) A two-star (**) total is printed for each change in BU/SERNO, TEC, or
ORG. (3) A three-star (***) total is printed for each change in ORG.
f. Prevention versus treatment:
Ref (b) COMNAVAIRFORINST, Vol III, Ch 6, NAMP
Corrosion prevention and treatment of aircraft and aeronautical equipment is
performed as part of a scheduled maintenance requirement or as an unscheduled
maintenance action. (1) Corrosion prevention requirements found while
complying with MRCs (scheduled maintenance) will be documented on the
inspection look phase MAF. This includes aircraft washing performed as part
of a scheduled inspection. (2) Corrosion treatment requirements found during
the look phase of an inspection will be documented on a fix phase MAF. Use
AT code Z and Malfunction Code 170. The treatment of bare metal is included
in this category. (3) Unscheduled corrosion prevention is documented on the
MAF only when the elapsed maintenance time exceeds one-half man-hour.
Unscheduled aircraft cleaning and temporary repairs of bare metal are
included in this category. Multiple items processed may be documented. Use
WUC 040, AT code 0, Malfunction Code 000, WD code O, and TM code D. (4)
Unscheduled corrosion treatment actions are documented on the MAF using AT
code Z and Malfunction Code 170.
112.11 Discuss the following Support Equipment Operator Training and
Licensing Program elements:
Ref (c) COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2H, Vol V, Ch 17, NAMP
a. Program manager (O/I level):
The AMO is the program manager at the O level. The SE Division Officer is
the program manager at the I level.
b. SE requiring a license:
All self-propelled equipment requires a SE license (OPNAV 4790/102). A
complete list is available in the NAMP, Vol V, Figure 17-3. Any item that
contains an internal combustion engine, input/output voltages greater than
115v AC, input/output voltages greater than 28v DC, input/output pressures
greater than 100psi, output temperatures greater than 150 degrees Fahrenheit,
or manually operated SE that is highly hazardous in its operation and
requires a specific, critical sequence of events to prevent injury or
aircraft/equipment damage requires a SE license.
c. Licensing procedures (Phase I/Phase II):
The two-phase operator training program is designed to provide:
Phase I - Training in the operation and O-level maintenance of SE. It is
conducted at the local IMA, using training materials furnished/prepared by
CNATT. The SE Operator courses contain course outlines, lesson guides, and
training aids as appropriate.
Phase II - Training and qualification of O-level and I-level personnel in the
proper operation of SE for the particular aircraft/equipment maintenance
functions for which they will use the SE. Phase II training consists of
required reading, OJT, and practical and written tests. At the O level, the
Wing program managers coordinate development of SE written exams covering
equipment operating procedures, safety precautions, emergency procedures, and
on-aircraft interface/operation. For the I level, the SE Division Officer
develops Phase II written examinations with the cognizant Division Officer
(IMA/MALS/Air Operations/Weapons Division Officers only).
d. Expiration dates:
PQS Section 112
Page 10 of 27
Created by LT Dale Lacklar
SE operator licenses are valid for type equipment and aircraft for 3 years,
regardless of activity assigned. SE licenses for self-propelled equipment
expires when the state license expires or 3 years, whichever comes first
(unless the license is from an auto-extend state). Figures 17-9 and 17-10
outline state driver license extension policies.
e. Proficiency versus requalification:
Transfer to an activity operating the same type/model but a different series
merely requires verification of proficiency. Proficiency does not extend the
expiration date of the license. It is only a verification through a
practical examination that the member can operate the equipment safely.
Renewal is a request for requalification and is a new license valid for
another 3 years (or until the state license expires). Phase I training is
only required to be completed once. For renewal, only the practical
examination, QA test, and routing certification must be completed. The
original Phase I completion is required to be routed and filed in the
training record with the completed renewal certificate.
f. MHE licensing (ashore/afloat):
Forklift trucks are classified as MHE. Forklift operators and explosive
ordnance drivers do not require SE operator’s licenses. Forklift operator
training is conducted ashore by the Supply Department or Public Works using
NAVSEA SWO23-AH-WHM-010 and DOD 4145.19R-1. IMAs ashore may also conduct
forklift operator training, after coordinating with the Supply Department to
develop a training program which meets or exceeds these requirements. IMAs
afloat shall accomplish forklift operator training using, as a minimum, the
Support Equipment Forklift Operator course. Procedures for explosive
ordnance driver training and licensing are in NAVSEA SWO23-AH-WHM-010 and the
Weapons Officer shall verify completion of training requirements prior to
licensing. Type equipment and weight limitations are recorded on the U.S.
Government Motor Vehicle Operator’s Identification Card (OF-346). The MO
will sign the “White Licenses” for all forklift operators afloat.
g. Weight handling equipment licensing:
Wings shall develop standardized WHE Phase II SE training and documentation
procedures for the T/M/S aircraft they support per NA 00-80T-119. IMAs shall
develop the training and documentation for the WHE they maintain per NA 0080T-119. PPE and hand signals training shall be included in all MHE/WHE

The objective of this program is to provide the policy and procedures
whereby maintenance activities can effectively accomplish their assigned
engine maintenance responsibilities.
a. Levels of repair
The following type maintenance codes are prescribed for use by power plants
work centers with specific engine repair capability.
1. First-Degree Repair. First-degree repair is repair which includes
compressor rotor replacement or disassembly to a degree that the compressor
rotor assembly can be removed.
2. Second-Degree Repair. Second-degree repair by designated IMAs
includes the repair or replacement of turbine rotors and combustion sections
(including afterburners), and the repair or replacement of reduction
gearboxes and torque shafts which are considered repairable within the limits
of the approved intermediate maintenance handbooks.
3. Third-Degree Repair. Encompasses the same gas turbine engine repair
capability as the second-degree repair except that certain functions which
require high maintenance man-hours and are of low incident rate are excluded.
b. IMA repair capability list.
Due to the high cost of establishing and supporting engine repair facilities,
many factors must be taken into consideration before a decision can be made
to support a new effort. Among these are: (1) Equipment requirements. (2)
Facility requirements. (3) Engine test facility requirements. (4) Personnel
requirements and associated technical training. (5) Proximity of other
facilities to provide like support. (6) Productivity and capacity.
ICRL CAPABILITY CODES C1 - Full Repair. This code identifies items for which
a normal range of failures can be completely repaired by the IMA per
applicable directives, for example, Maintenance Plan; Source, Maintenance,
and Recoverability (SM&R) codes; and Maintenance Instruction Manuals (MIMs).
C3 - Limited Repair. This code identifies items for which repair of the
normal range of failures cannot be accomplished. However, repair to some
PQS Section 112
Page 18 of 27
Created by LT Dale Lacklar
extent beyond test and Ready For Issue (RFI) certification is performed. 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 IMA. R1 - Repair and Return to Originating Activity. This
code identifies components that are automatically and routinely sent from one
shore IMA to another shore IMA for repair and return. Examples are components
sent repair and return from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake Weapons Test
Squadron IMA to NAS Lemoore AIMD and from NAS Pt Mugu AIMD to NAS Whidbey
Island AIMD. The R1 capability code is NOT to be used in an afloat IMA's ICRL.
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 I-level maintenance is
not authorized to repair the component. May not be used for field level
repairable equipment, for example, 1RD COG items. This code can only be used
with Work Center 05A. 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 (TCCDT). 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 TCCDT. 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.
This code must always be accompanied by a TCC and a TCCDT. 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.

- Has sufficient knowledge and has demonstrated the proficiency to be
entrusted with performing the work task alone in safe and reliable operations.
- Capable of interpreting the requirements of applicable checklist,
assembly/operating manuals, and SOP.
- This certification level can be used in conjunction with
explosives/explosive devices that normally require a team effort to
load/download. This is to allow an individual to perform tasks contained in
the loading procedure section of checklists without the team leader at the
immediate scene. Applies to functions involving cartridge actuated devices
in aircraft AEPS systems when a supervised crew concept is not appropriate.
- QA/SO oversight is still required.

112.26 Discuss the following Aviation Gas Free Engineer Program elements:
Ref (n) NA 01-1A-35 Aircraft Fuel cells and Tanks
Aircraft Confined Space Program. The Aircraft Confined Space Program (ACSP)
describes the processes, means, and methods used for recognizing, evaluating,
and controlling potential confined space hazards associated with fuel cell
and fuel tank maintenance and for communicating those hazards to employees.
The ACSP was formerly known as the Aviation Gas Free Engineering Program
(AVGFE).
a.
Program Manager The Aircraft Confined Space Program Manager (ACSPM)
Must be a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) or a Collateral Duty Quality
Assurance Representative (CDQAR). The ACSPM shall be designated in writing by
the CO or designee.
Responsible for the administration of the program
within the organization, ensuring all safety requirements within the scope of
this manual.
b. Qualification. Successfully complete the NAMTG course C600-3000A. This
Training shall include hands-on instruction on the operation and calibration
of gas detecting equipment. OJT Training shall be completed to acquaint the
EA with the different characteristics of each individual Fuel cell on each
Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) aircraft for which they are to be qualified. If a
Series change for a particular aircraft T/M results in no change to the fuel
cell configuration of the aircraft, then familiarization with one member of
the Series, qualifies the EA on all members of the Series. For example, if an
EA has OJT'd on a FA-18C then they are automatically qualified to certify
FA-18A, B, and D Aircraft fuel cells as well because the configuration of the
cells are identical. However, that person is not qualified to certify the
FA-18E/F because the E/F has a different configuration of cells.
c.
Space certification/expiration. Classifications of Permits. The
following categories should be used on Permits to indicate the conditions
PQS Section 112
Page 22 of 27
Created by LT Dale Lacklar
found at the time tests are conducted.
Class 1: Not Safe For Personnel – Not Safe For Hot Work
Class 2: Not Safe For Personnel Without Protection - Not Safe For Hot Work
(Provisional Permit)
Class 3: Safe For Personnel - Not Safe For Hot Work
Class 4: Safe For Personnel - Safe For Hot Work
Class 5: Hands-In/Tool-In Maintenance
Class 6: Reclassified Non-Permit Required Confined Space
The period for which Permits are valid and the requirements for testing and
maintaining validity of the Permit shall be specified by the EA, not to
exceed 12 hours. A change in personnel due to shift change requires updating
of the Permit (and all copies) or the issuing of a new Permit.
Periodic testing shall be performed when, in the professional judgment of the
Entry Authority, safe conditions within the fuel cell may deteriorate or the
limitations of the Permit may be exceeded. Periodic testing shall be
performed during any operation that possesses the potential for producing or
releasing toxic, flammable, or asphyxiating atmospheres or materials into the
fuel cell. The overriding concern is that safe conditions are maintained
within the cell during operations and after interruptions in operations.
Therefore, retesting, recertifying conditions, and updating of Permits is
required when work interruptions occur which could result in deterioration of
safe conditions within the cell.
d. Equipment requirements. Only the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM)
(PMA 260) approved gas detectors shall be used to obtain required test
readings of the atmosphere in a fuel cell. (Table 2-5, Item 7.a.)
e. Safety/hazards. A Safety Observer is an individual stationed outside a
fuel cell who monitors the Entrant(s). Each Safety Observer shall:
-Be trained in the proper use of respirators and Cardio Pulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) (‘O’ level only).
-Be trained in the proper use of personal protection equipment (PPE) and
hazards associated with improper oxygen, flammable, and toxic vapor limits.
-Know the hazards that may be faced during entry, which includes
information from MSDS on materials being used and consequences of exposure to
fuel vapor.
-Maintain an accurate count of Entrant(s) in the fuel cell and ensure all the
Entrant(s) are listed on the Permit.
-Communicate with the Entrant(s), by the means specified on the Permit.
-Monitor activities inside and outside the fuel cell to determine if it is
safe for Entrant(s) to remain in the fuel cell.
- Order Entrant(s) to evacuate the fuel cell if any of the following is
detected:
--Any condition in the fuel cell that is not addressed specifically on the Permit.
--Adverse effects of fuel exposure to an Entrant.
--A situation outside the fuel cell that could endanger the Entrant.
f. Documentation. When Permits are issued, distribution shall be as follows:
The original copy shall be placed in a protective cover (if needed) and
posted at the main entrance or most commonly used access to the fuel cell.
One legible copy shall be posted at all other access areas that are open and
readily accessible to personnel. Each copy may be placed in a protective
cover if needed.
One legible copy shall be retained in the EA personal logbook (‘I’ and ‘O’
level).
One legible copy shall be provided to the Aircraft Confined Space Program
Manager.
One legible copy shall be provided to the Maintenance Control requesting the
service (‘O’ level only).

filtering, absorbing, adsorbing or chemically reacting with the contaminants
as they pass through the respirator canister or cartridge.
Supplied-Air Respirators. These respirators provide breathing air independent
of the environment.
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). This type of respirator allows the
user complete independence from a fixed source of air and offers the greatest
degree of protection but is also the most complex.
c. Respirator cleaning and storage – Only personnel who have received
training through the RPPM shall perform the cleaning, inspection and
maintenance of respiratory protective equipment. Store all respiratory
protection equipment in a designated clean area.
d. Fit testing - Activities shall fit test each individual required to use a
respirator-with a tight-fitting face-piece, at the time of initial fitting
and annually thereafter. All tight-fitting positive and negative pressure
respirators shall be either qualitatively or quantitatively fit tested by
activities initially and annually. To wear full face, negative pressure, air
purifying respirators in atmospheres up to their assigned protection factor
of 50, personnel must be quantitatively fit tested and the respirator must
achieve a fit factor of at least 500, which equates to a safety factor of 10.
e. Documentation - The RPPM shall document respirator fit testing and include,
make, model, style and size, method of test and test results, strip chart
recording or other recording of test results for quantitative fit test, test
date and the name of the instructor/fit test.
