Question 10

Fuel Packet

Answer 10

Contains:

1348- Cadillac Chit: filled out on the ship and cross countries, can be used for ordering parts as well.

Air card, Pen, and Pencil

Question 11

Conditional

Answer 11

Unscheduled events required because of a specific over limit condition or admin requirement for an inspection. Engine water wash because of overwater flight. Post Terf inspection after unprepared landings. Post Dip after Dip Sortie. Swap out stab actuator, FCF?

Question 12

Pre/Post Depot Level Inspection

Answer 12

Prior to and after reporting custodian sends/receives an A/C to/from on-site standard and special rework.

Question 13

PnE

Answer 13

Planner and Estimator

Question 14

FCF Profiles

Answer 14

A: Everything

B: Engines

C: Controllability

D: AFCS

Question 15

Special

Answer 15

Scheduled with a prescribed interval other than a daily or phase. (7, 14, 28 day or 60hr) Some MRCs are cut in half when underway to aid in corrosion prevention. (Fresh water washdown every 7 days underway instead of 14) 546 day is the worst special (takes apprx 5days)

Question 16

Fresh Water wash down Underway

Answer 16

Waterwash is every 14 days normally but it’s every 7 days underway.

Question 17

Daily

Answer 17

Inspects for defects to greater depth than the TA. Always completed before the TA. Valid for 72 hours after completion provided no flight or mx other than servicing occurs. May be flown for 24 hours beginning at rotor engagement of the first flight. 24 hours can not exceed the 72 hour expiration of the daily unless the expiration occurs during a mission.

*Mx Control will determine if a daily need to be completed again depending on the mx performed.

*24 hours only starts at rotor engagement of the first flight that gets airborne. Penalty turns don’t count.

*An AC line is considered one flight so as long as the first launch is before the 24 hour period expires all following hotseats are considered part of the mission.

*CO may authorize PIC to to perform pilot inspection, ensure servicing requirements accomplished and sign A Sheet in certification block when away from home without qualified mx personnel for periods not exceeding 72 hours. Accomplishing this rather than completing daily, TA and fuel sampling is sufficient for SFF.

Question 18

Transfer Inspection

Answer 18

Shall be performed when a reporting custodian transfers an ATO A/C to an offsite FRC/commercial rework facility or to another operational unit. E.g. we send an aircraft to HSM-41

Question 19

Phase Inspection

Answer 19

Done sequentially at specified intervals (every 200+/- 10%)

D profile is the worst because of the work on the main rotor head. We only have one blade in the PUK and it could down a bird. (Also other parts…)

A Phase: Main Landing Gear (on jacks) tail rotor, ABCD, AC, A cards

B Phase: take one blade out and spindle apart, XSMN Oil Cooler ABCD, BD, B cards

C Phase: Tail Rotor ABCD, AC, C cards

D Phase: MRH, Spindles ABCD, BD, D cards PMI is every 36 months, Depot Level Mx? FRC (is I Level Mx?), replacing an engine.

Question 20

PMC vs PMCS vs PMCM

Answer 20

PMC is Partially Mission Capable according to the codes found in the MESM.

PMCS means the aircraft is PMC awaiting a part from supply.

PMCM means the aircraft is PMC awaiting the maintenance to be completed.

Question 21

Turnaround

Answer 21

Checks integrity, servicing and degradations Valid for 24 hours from completion (based off fuel sampling time) unless flown and AC is shutdown and there is a HAC turnover or maintenance other than servicing is completed. (Unless shutdown is scheduled, CATM download)

*If the HAC turnover occurs during a hotseat the TA is postponed. If the A/C is shutdown but the HAC remains the same our SOP says the turnaround may be postponed as long as the period between startup and shutdown does not exceed two hours.

*Mx Control will determine if a TA need to be completed again depending on the mx performed.

*CO may authorize PIC to to perform pilot inspection, ensure servicing requirements accomplished and sign A Sheet in certification block when away from home without qualified mx personnel for periods not exceeding 72 hours. Accomplishing this rather than completing daily, TA and fuel sampling is sufficient for SFF.

*TA is not required between repetitive flight evolutions interspersed with ground periods such as PMC stops, hotseats, hot refueling or short stops for adjustments during FCFs.

Question 22

Types of Maintenance

Answer 22

O level: Organizational Level

I level: Intermediate Level (AIMD)

D Level: Depot Level FRC vs PMI

Question 23

AMSRR and AMCR

Answer 23

Aircraft Material Status Readiness Report

Aircraft Material Condition Report = Tracks hours, Downing Gripes, and Readiness

Question 24

Zonal Inspection

Answer 24

General Inspection of a specific area. Swap out part, no TA/Daily but zonal?

Question 25

IW on a MAF

Answer 25

In Work Period of time that the helicopter was being worked on. Sort of like a time card for checking in and out of work.
