(10) Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP) Flashcards
What is the purpose of the NAMP?
To achieve and continually improve aviation material readiness and safety standards established by the CNO/COMNAVAIRFOR.
True or False
The NAMP helps to standardize operations of any naval aviation command?
True
What does the Maintenance Officer (MO)?
As head of the Maint. Dept., the MO manages the department and is responsible to the CO for the accomplishment of the department’s mission.
What does the Aircraft Maintenance Officer (AMO)?
Assistant head of the maintenance department. The AMO shall assist the MO in the performance of duties and keep the MO fully informed of matters concerning the department. Additionally the AMO coordinates TAD personnel, inspects spaces, acts as the administrative officer in their absence, liaisons with the Operation’s Dept., manages SE training and licensing program (O-level)
What does the Maintenance / Material Control officer (MMCO) do?
Responsible for the overall production and material support of the department. The MMCO coordinates and monitors the department workload while maintaining liaison with supporting activities and the Supply department to ensure requirements and workload are known and satisfied.
Who is responsible for maintaining the MMP?
The MMCO
What does the Maintenance Master Chief Petty officer do (MMCPO)?
Senior enlisted adviser for the maint. dept., reports to the MO and advises the CO in all matters affecting aircraft operations, aircraft maint., and dept. personnel. The MMCPO directs all maint. in an operational unit on a day-to-day basis in support of its operations and assigned missions. The MMCPO’s charter is to maintain assigned aircraft and aeronautical equipment in an RFT status while providing training for those in the Maint. Dept. to improve the maint. process.
What does the Quality Assurance Officer (QAO)?
QAO will ensure personnel assigned to perform QA functions receive continuous training in inspecting, testing, and quality control methods specifically applicable to perform those QA functions not in their assigned areas.
What does the Material control officer (MCO) do?
Supply corps officers assigned to a deployable squadron will be assigned as the MCO for handling of finances, material requisition, etc.
What are the levels of maintenance?
- O-level
- I-level
- D-level
What does O-level maintenance entail?
Performed by an operating uniit on a day-to-day basis in support of its own operations.
What is the mission of O-level maintenance?
It is to maintain assigned aircraft and aeronautical equipment in a full mission capable status.
What does I-level maintenance entail?
I-level maintenance mission is to enhance and sustain the combat readiness and mission capability of supported activities by providing quality and timely material support at the nearest location with the lowest practical resource expenditure.
What does D-level maintenance entail?
Performed at or by FRC sites to ensure continued flying integrity of airframes and flight systems during subsequent operational service periods. D-level is also performed on material requiring major overhaul or rebuilding of parts, assemblies, subassemblies and end items.
What are the two types of maint. described in the NAMP?
- Rework
2. Up keep
Describe the term rework?
The restorative or additive work performed on aircraft on aircraft, aircraft equipment, and aircraft SE at FRCs, contractors’ plants and such other industrial establishments designated by TYCOMs.
Describe the term Upkeep?
Upkeep is the preventative, restorative, or additive work performed on aircraft, equipment, and SE by operating units and aircraft SE activities.
How many different types of Upkeep maintenance are there?
7
/What are the different types of upkeep maintenance
- Turnaround
- Daily
- Special
- Conditional
- Phase
- Acceptance
- Transfer
Explain what turnaround inspections are?
Turnaround’s are conducted between flights to ensure the integrity of the aircraft for flight, verifies proper servicing, and detects degradation that may have occurred during this period and no maintenance other than servicing was performed.
Explain what daily inspections are?
Daily inspections are conducted to inspect for defects to a greater depth than the turnaround inspection.
How long are daily inspections good for?
It is valid for 72 hours without flight or major maintenance and the aircraft can be flown for 24 hours before another daily is needed as long as it does not surpass the 72 hour time limit.
Explain what Conditional inspections are?
Conditional maintenance requirements are unscheduled events required as the result of a specific over limit condition, or as a result of circumstances or events which create an administrative requirement for an inspection.
Explain what Phase inspections are?
This inspection divides the total scheduled maintenance requirement into smaller packages, or phases of the same work content. These are done sequentially and at specified intervals.
