SECTION 3 Flashcards
What Air Force forms are maintenance technicians required to fill out when ordering aircraft
parts from supply?
AF Form 2413 and AF Form 2005.
What are supply points?
Storage locations where supplies are positioned when time or resources required to move items justifies the
need.
What supply report is a monthly listing of items that are back-ordered?
Due-out validation list (M30).
What does the MSL primarily do?
Monitors the overall maintenance and supply interface, resolves supply support problems, and coordinates
supply-related training needs.
Can you order a quantity greater than one of a DIFM item under one document number?
Yes.
You are routing a part to be repaired through the base supply RCSS. To do the job properly,
RCSS needs which part of the AFTO Form 350?
The bottom.
What’s the overall objective of RCSS?
To get DIFM parts turned around as fast as possible.
When does the repair cycle time begin?
When a DIFM item is removed from an aircraft, engine, or piece of equipment.
What is the objective of the Intermediate Repair Enhancement Program?
Reduce the total AF material costs by repairing items locally and increase base/wing self-sufficiency.
Who chairs the IREP meeting?
Wing, vice wing, or MXG commander.
How is the repair cycle throughput measured?
The 12-month average versus the current month repair cycle time.
What is the primary use of the LCOM simulation technique?
To determine peacetime and wartime aircraft maintenance manpower requirements for each of the AF’s
weapon systems.
What is the objective in manpower studies using LCOM?
To determine, for each AF specialty, the lowest manpower level possible to achieve the desired sortie rate.
What is the result of high manpower?
Could result in people being idle.
What function under the Maintenance Operations Flight is responsible to manage the
Maintenance Information System for the base?
Maintenance Data Systems Analysis.
What are AFMC people responsible for transforming air and space technology investments into?
Warfighting capabilities.
For what does the Warner Robins ALC provide management support?
Provides management support for the low-altitude navigational targeting infrared for night system, the joint
tactical information distribution system, and the worldwide military command and control system.
Which AFMC center operates the US Air Force Test Pilot School?
AF Flight Test Center.
What computer product lists both funded and unfunded unit manpower requirements?
Unit manpower document.
How many fiscal quarters does the extended UMD provide complete manpower data?
22 fiscal quarters.
What does the SEI indicate?
The special experience or qualification you must have on a particular weapon system to fill a particular
position.
What is the UPMR?
A computer product listing of people assigned to the unit by section or functional account code.
What is the purpose of the SCR?
A management tool that gives supervisors a clear and concise listing of the personnel who have been
appointed to perform, evaluate, verify, and inspect critical work or tasks.
Who approves the addition of people to the SCR?
Operations Officer/Maintenance Supt.
What alpha numeric identifier gives specific details on what a unit should deploy in terms of
people and equipment?
Unit type code.
List three reference documents that are available to help prepare for deployments.
(1) IDP.
(2) BSP.
(3) Site surveys.
List the three areas that determine the best line up for aircraft generation success.
(1) Mission capability status.
(2) Available hours/time to next scheduled phase/ISO inspection.
(3) Scheduled maintenance actions.
What two products are utilized to determine go/no-go or mission limiting criteria based on
functionality and serviceability of aircraft systems by MDS?
(1) MESL.
(2) MEL.
Which two forms exist in the CAF to help the maintenance manager in monitoring the progress of
the generation and avoid or minimize potential bottlenecks in the generation sequence?
(1) AF Form 2408.
(2) AF Form 2409.
During fleet reconstitution, what areas require attention?
Fleet health, consumables and reparable stock levels, equipment, personnel, maintenance training, and
aircrew training.
What is the key component to building an effective and expedient reconstitution for a combat
unit?
To build an effective plan ahead of time that lays out requirements and how they will be phased to manage
resource constraints.
Define the combat spear.
The combat spear depicts a healthy relationship between operations and maintenance as integrated,
inextricable components of combat air-power: trained aircrews, safe and reliable aircraft, and trained
maintainers form the triangle-shaped head of the spear of an aviation unit’s combat capability.
