NAMP Flashcards
What’s NAMP?
Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, the objective of the NAMP is to achieve and continually improve aviation material readiness and safety standards established by the CNO/COMNAVAIRFOR, with coordination from the CMC, with optimum use of manpower, material, facilities, and funds.
Maintenance Officer (MO):
As head of the Maintenance Department, the MO manages the department and is responsible to the CO for the accomplishment of the department’s mission.
Assistant 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 temporary assigned duty personnel, inspects spaces, acts as the administrative officer in their absence, liaisons with the Operations department, manages the SE training and licensing program (O- level), utilize NTMPS/FLTMPS for manpower management and
additional duties as defined in the NAMSOPS.
Maintenance/Material Control Officer (MMCO):
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. Additionally the MMCO is responsible for preparing and publishing the Monthly Maintenance Plan (MMP).
Maintenance Master Chief Petty Officer (MMCPO):
Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Maintenance Department, reports to the MO and advises the CO in all matters affecting aircraft operations, aircraft maintenance, and department personnel. The MMCPO directs all maintenance 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 Maintenance Department to improve the maintenance process.
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 their area of assignment. The QAO will also ensure QARs receive cross training to perform those QA
functions not in their assigned area. This training should include local training courses, OJT, rotation of assignments, PQSs, and formal schools.
Material Control Officer (MCO):
Supply corps officers assigned to a deployable
squadron will be assigned as the MCO for the handling of finances, material requisition etc.
Concepts of NAMP:
The NAMP is founded upon the three-level maintenance concept and is the authority governing management of O- level, I-level, and D-level aviation maintenance. It provides the management tools required for efficient and economical use of personnel and material resources in the performance of maintenance. It also provides the basis for establishing standard organizations, procedures, and responsibilities for the accomplishment of all maintenance on naval aircraft, associated material, and equipment.
O-Level Maintenance:
Performed by an operating unit on a day-to- day basis in support of its own operations. The O-level mission is to maintain assigned aircraft and aeronautical equipment in a full mission capable status.
I-Level Maintenance:
The 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.
D-Level Maintenance:
Performed at or by FRC sites to ensure continued flying integrity of airframes and flight systems during subsequent operational service periods. D-level maintenance is also performed on material requiring major overhaul or rebuilding of parts, assemblies, subassemblies, and end items. It includes manufacturing parts, modifying, testing, inspecting, sampling, and reclamation. FRC sites support O-level and I-level maintenance by providing engineering assistance and performing maintenance beyond their capabilities.
Two types of Maintenance
Rework & Upkeep.
What’s Rework?
Restorative or additive work performed on aircraft, aircraft equipment, and aircraft SE at FRCs, contractors’ plants, and such other industrial establishments designated by TYCOMs.
What’s Upkeep?
Preventive, restorative, or additive work performed on aircraft, equipment, and SE by operating units and aircraft SE activities.
Turnaround Maintenance:
Conducted between flights to ensure the integrity of the aircraft for flight, verifies proper servicing, and detects degradation that may have occurred during the previous flight. Good for 24 hours, provided that no flight occurs during this period and no maintenance other than servicing was performed.
Daily Maintenance:
Conducted to inspect for defects to a greater depth than the turnaround inspection. 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.
Special Maintenance:
This inspection is a scheduled inspection with a prescribed interval other than daily or phase. The intervals are specified in the applicable PMS publication and are based on elapsed calendar time, flight hours, operating hours, or number of cycles or events, for example, 7, 28 days; 50, 100, 200 hours; 10, 100 arrestments; or 5,000 rounds fired. In some cases, aircraft special inspections contain within them engine inspection requirements. They are referred to as combined airframe and engine special inspections.
Conditional Maintenance:
Conditional maintenance requirements are unscheduled events required as the result of a specific overlimit condition, or as a result of circumstances or events which create an administrative requirement for an inspection.
Phase Maintenance:
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.
Acceptance Maintenance:
Performed at the time a reporting custodian accepts a newly assigned aircraft or support equipment from any source and on return of an aircraft from Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) or other major depot level maintenance.
Transfer Maintenance:
Performed at the time a reporting custodian transfers an aircraft or support equipment.
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM):
A process to ensure that assets continue to do what their users require in their present operating context. The military adopted the RCM from the commercial aviation industry in the mid-1970s. As a result we now have different types of rework maintenance modeled after the RCM concept such as the Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) and Periodic Maintenance
Interval (PMI).
Functional Check Flight (FCF):
Used to determine whether the airframe, powerplant, accessories and equipment are functioning in accordance with predetermined standards which subjected to the intended operating environment. Conducted at the completion of SDLM (Standard Depot Level Maintenance), acceptance, after engine system installation, reinstallation, flight control surface component replacement, attitude system component replacement/adjustment, certain Phase inspections, or for any time the aircraft has not flown for 30 days or more regardless of the reason. Other conditions are determined necessary by the Commanding Officer.
MAINTENANCE:
The function of retaining material in or restoring it to a serviceable condition. Maintenance includes servicing, repair, modification, modernization, overhaul, rebuild, test, reclamation, inspection, and condition determination.
