How many concepts is the NAMP founded on?
3 concepts
- O-level
- I-level
- D-level
What is O-level maintenance?
Maintenance which is performed by an operating unit on a day to day basis in support of it’s own operations
What is O-level’s mission?
Maintain assigned aircraft/aeronautical equipment in a full mission capable status
What is I-level’s mission?
Enhance/sustain the combat readiness/mission capability of supported activities by providing quality/timely material support at nearest location
What is D-level Maintenance?
Performed at or by FRC sites to ensure continued flying integrity or airframes/flight systems during subsequent operational service periods Performed on material requiring major overhaul/rebuilding of parts
What are the two types of maintenance described in the NAMO?
Rework and Upkeep
What is rework?
Is restorative/additive work performed on aircraft, aircraft equipment, SE, (FRCs)
What is upkeep?
Preventative, restorative, additive work performed on aircraft, equipment, and SE by operating units
How many types of upkeep inspections/maintenance are there?
There are 7 types of inspections
Name the different types of upkeep inspections/maintenance.
- Turnaround
- Daily
- Special
- Conditional
- Phase
- Acceptance
- Transfer
What is a Turnaround inspection?
Conducted between flights ensure integrity of aircraft for flight verifies proper servicing detect degradation that may have occurred during flight Good for 24 hours with no flight or maintenance other than servicing
What is a daily inspection?
Conducted to inspect for defects good for 72 hours without flight or major maintenance Aircraft can be flown for 24 hours before another daily is required as long as it doesnt surpass the 72 hour time limit
What is a Special Inspection?
Scheduled inspection with a prescribed interval other than daily/phase, Intervals are specified in applicable PMS publications and based on elapsed calendar time, flight hours, operating hours, or number of cycles/events
What is a conitional inspection?
Conditional maintenance requirements are unscheduled events required as a result of specific overlimits conditions Result of circumstances or events which create an administrative requirement for an inspection
What is a Phase inspection?
Divides the total scheduled maintenance requirements into smaller packages done sequentially and at specified intervals
What is an Acceptance Inspection?
Performed at time a reporting custodian accepts a newly assigned aircraft/SE from any source and on return of an aircraft from SDLM or any other major depot level maintenance
What is a Transfer Inspection?
Performed at the time a reporting custodian transfers aircraft/SE
What does RCM stand for?
Reliability Centered Maintenance
What is the RCM Process?
To ensure that assets continue to do what their users require in their present operating context
Who did the military adopt the RCM from? And when?
The military adopted the RCM from the Commerial Aviation industry in the mid 1970s
What two types of rework maintenance do we have modeled after the RCM concept?
Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) Periodic Maintenance Interval (PMI)
Define Management
The efficient attainment of objects
Define Maintenance
All actions taken to retain material in a serviceable condition or to restore it to serviceability
What is the responsibility of every maintenance manager?
Manage resources in an efficient manner
What is the difference between Maintenance Control and Production Control
The level of maintenance at which the duties are performed
What level of maintenance does Maintenance control perform?
Maintenance Control performs O-level maintenance
What level of maintenance does Production control perform?
Production control performs I-level maintenance
What are the two most critical aspects in naval aviation?
- Release of an Aircraft safe for flight
- Acceptance of the Aircraft
What is an MMP?
Monthly Maintenance Plan
What is the purpose of the MMP?
Provide scheduled control of the predictable maintenance workload
When is the MMP prepared and distributed?
25th of each month at O-level 1st of each month at I-level
What is an Aircraft logbook?
- Record of equipment,
- inspections,
- scheduled removal items,
- installed equipment
- Record of rework,
- major repairs,
- flight and operational data,
- maintenance directives affecting aircraft,
- components,
- accessories
How many sections is an Aircraft logbook broken down into?
Aircraft logbooks are broken down into 14 sections
What are the different sections of an Aircraft logbook?
- Non-aging Record
- Flight Time
- Inspection Records
- Repair/Rework
- Technical Directives
- Miscellaneous History
- Preservation and Depreservation Record
- Installed Explosive Devices
- Inventory Record
- Assembly Service Record
- Equipment History Record
- Scheduled Removal Components Cards(SRCs)
- Aviation Life Support Systems Records (ALSS)
- Aeronautical Equipment Service Records (AESRs)
What does QA stand for?
Quality Assurance
What is the QA concept?
The QA concept is the prevention of the occurrence of defects
What is a QAR?
A QAR is a Quality Assurance Representative
What do QAR’s do?
QARs certify that work involved has been personally inspected by them properly completed and is in accordance with the current instruction
What is a CDQAR?
A CDQAR is a Collateral Duty QAR
What are CDQARs assigned to?
CDQARs are assigned to production work centers
What is a CDI?

Inspect all work and comply with required QA inspections during all maintenance actions performed by their respective work centers
What programs are managed by QA?
Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL) Maintenance Department/Divisional Safety
What does the CTPL provide?
A central source of up-to-date information for use by all personnel in performance of their work
What is auditing in reference to QA?
An assessment of the effectiveness of programs managed within the Maintenance Department

Evaluate specific maintenance tasks, processes, procedures and programs
How long are copies for audits held for?
Copies of audits are held for 1 year
What is a workcenter audit?
Conducted semi-annually to evaluate overall quality of performance in each work center, all areas are evaluated
What are Program Audits?
