Ensure fuel samples are taken as required by the applicable maintenance requirements cards (MRCs) or prior to the first flight of the day. Ensure the oil consumption has been reviewed for each engine/gearbox prior to every flight. Update the aircraft weight and balance and configuration for each flight. Review with the debarking pilot during hot seating operation any new discrepancies encountered during the previous flight to ensure flight safety for the next flight. Ensure the debarking pilot signs the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record verifying that the aircraft is safe for flight. The pilot in command of the aircraft is also required to review the ADB for aircraft discrepancies and corrective actions taken for at least the 10 previous flights. The pilot will sign block 11 of the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (fig. 7-1) assuming full responsibility for the safe operation of the aircraft and safety of the other individuals aboard. Additional information on the release of aircraft safe for flight and the Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record can be obtained in OPNAVINST 4790.2. Q12. Who is responsible for releasing an aircraft as "safe for flight"? Q13. What is the title of OPNAV 4790/141? Q14. When an aircraft is released as safe for flight, if not specified otherwise, when must fuel samples be taken? AIRCRAFT HISTORICAL FILES LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Recognize the purpose and procedures for maintaining historical files. Aircraft historical files are records ofmaintenance and inspections performed on each aircraft in the squadrons custody. Procedures for maintaining these files vary slightly, depending on the administrative operating procedures for each squadron. Those operating under NALCOMIS have slightly different requirements than those operating with VIDS/MAFS. Both are discussed briefly; however, detailed information can be found in OPNAVINST 4790.2, Vol III. NALCOMIS activities will store the current month and two preceding months of completed MAFs on the host computer in the electronic historical data format. Once the material is offloaded, the data must be retained for a minimum of 12 months or one complete inspection cycle, whichever is greater. Historical file requirements for activities using paper VIDS/MAFS are as follows: Aircraft Inspection File. This file is maintained by bureau number(BUNO) and should be retained for one inspection cycle or 6 months, whichever is greater. Conditional inspection documents should be maintained in this file for 6 months from the date of completion. Aircraft General File. Maintained by BUNO in JCN sequence and grouped by month of Figure 7-1.—Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Record (OPNAV 4790/141). 7-4
