Q

AV Maintenance Planning

A

Scheduled Maintenance: Takes place anytime an aircraft phase, preventive maintenance service, or scheduled component replacement is conducted.

Unscheduled Maintenance: This maintenance requirement occurs when an aircraft experiences an unexpected malfunction, premature component breakdown, or battle damage.

Deferred/Delayed Maintenance: Occasionally insufficient personnel, equipment, or time may exist and the PC OIC/NCOIC decides which aircraft/components are repaired or deferred/delayed. These actions cannot be delayed indefinitely; they must be coordinated and scheduled to be performed at the earliest opportunity.

22
Q

Authorized Class IX Stock at the Field Level

A

Aviation Repair Parts: All Army repair parts are in Class IX supply. The operational readiness of a unit is dependent on the availability of Class IX repair parts. Class IX is the largest supply cost that a unit has.

Initial Stockage Repair Parts: Department of the Army has determined these parts are needed to initially start a new unit.

Demand Supported: Three demands in the control period to add to stockage. One demand in the control period to keep stocking the part. The control periods are 180 days for Active Army and 360 days for ARNG and the USAR.

Non-Demand Supported: Demands don’t support adding or keeping the part, but the Unit Commander feels this item should be retained. Require the approval of the first general officer staff level in the chain of command.

23
Q

Airframe Repair Platoon (ARP)

A

Provides field level scheduled and unscheduled maintenance support to the maneuver companies in their assigned battalion.

24
Q

Component Repair Platoon

A

Contains specialized sections responsible for troubleshooting and repairing subsystems associated with any aircraft.

Powerplant Section – engine repairs and rebuilds

25
Q

Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR)

A

Rapidly restores the minimum essential capabilities necessary to support a specific combat mission or to enable equipment self-recovery, to include downed aircraft recovery team (DART) missions.

Responsibility of the commander based on METT-TC

26
Q

Downed Aircraft Recovery Team (DART)

A

Aircraft recovery is a deliberate pre-planned mission.

The intent is to recover aircraft with minimal risk to Soldiers and equipment involved in the operation. Aircraft recoveries generally require a task organized security force.

Consists of select personnel who perform assessment, repairs, and recovery of downed aircraft. They are equipped, trained, and rehearsed to accomplish aircraft recovery in various Operational Environments.

27
Q

Field Maintenance Team (FMT)

A

An aviation unit’s maintenance flexibility is enhanced through the formation of FMTs. Commanders deploy FMTs, parts, TMDE, and tools as far forward as feasibly possible to conduct maintenance.

Provide maintenance support to aircraft located in austere, forward, or remote environments.

28
Q

Controlled Exchange

A

The removal of serviceable components from unserviceable, economically
reparable end items for immediate reuse in restoring a like item or weapon system to a mission capable
condition.

Supervised by Production Control, but all controlled exchanges must be authorized by the Battalion Commander

29
Q

Condition Based Maintenance

A

Application and integration of appropriate processes, technologies, and knowledge-based capabilities to improve the reliability and maintenance effectiveness of DoD systems and components.

30
Q

Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP)

A

Part of the Army Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) program using proactive component and lubrication condition-monitoring technologies to analyze lubricant samples extracted from enrolled components on a scheduled basis.

AOAP sampling is a quick, efficient and effective way to monitor both the health of the equipment and lubricant.

TB 43-0211 Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP)

31
Q

Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) Program

A

Procedures for the detection and treatment of corrosion for aircraft and associate equipment must be followed. A CPC program minimizes aircraft and equipment damage, increases operational efficiency, provides for a safer operating environment, and reduces maintenance down time.

Corrosion damage of aircraft or GSE is an unacceptable impediment to Army operations.

*Costing the Army $1.9 Billion a year and costing the Department of Defense $23 Billion a year (equal to 25% of the total maintenance budget).

32
Q

A

Tool Room Operations

Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE)

Ground Support Equipment

Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL)

33
Q

Tool Room Ops

A

Typically maintained by the Airframe Repair Platoon

Provides temporary utilization of tools for mission accomplishment without adding low density or bulky items to individual hand receipts.

34
Q

Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE)

A

The goal of all unit calibration programs is for a delinquency rate (failure to submit for required support) of two percent or less according to AR 750-43 and an Instrument Master Record File (IMRF) match against the unit TMDE inventory of 95 to 100 percent.

Includes torque wrenches, testers, test sets, and other test equipment used to verify whether aircraft systems are functioning or malfunctioning according to applicable regulatory policies and published aircraft TMs.

35
Q
