maintenance data system (MDS) data supplied by the Naval Sea Logistics Center and will be made after the repairs have been accomplished by fleet maintenance personnel. Warranty identification depends upon whether the material is contractor-furnished equipment (CFE) or government-furnished equipment (GFE). Aircraft and engine warranties cover the basic aircraft or engine and the CFE. The warranty markings and information are documented in the Miscellaneous/ History section of the aircraft logbook or engine’s Aeronautical Engine Service Record (AESR). The GFE items have a distinct and separate warranty. The warranty information is marked on the equipment and on any associated record cards. The work unit code assigned to GFE is usually 51000 or higher. Naval Aircraft Tire Rebuilding Program The NAVICP-Phil is responsible for centralized contracting for the rebuilding of naval aircraft tires. The NAVICP-Phil is also responsible for the complete administrative control of the rebuilding program. The cost of rebuilding a tire approximates to 36 percent of the cost of the new tire. Full participation of all activities in the rebuilding program will save a considerable amount of dollars. It is the policy of the Navy that all aircraft tires are rebuildable. However, there are selected types of tires that are exempt from the rebuilding program because of technical or economic reasons. The types of tires that are not rebuildable are listed in the enclosure of FASOINST 13421.1. The NAVICP-Phil is also responsible for the funding, allocation of rebuildable tires for rework and service, establishment of shipping procedures, and shipping logistics. The user activities must exert the effort to generate repairable tires. Strict inspection and screening procedures must be performed in the determination of tires to be rebuilt. Inadequate screening of tires can result in shipping rebuildable tires to a Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) as scrap. In some cases, tires that should be marked as scrap are shipped to the rework facility. The elimination of age shelf/service limits on aircraft tires, as well as the elimination of maximum rebuild level occurrences, makes good stock control and issue practices necessary. For both new or rebuilt tires, the oldest tires must be issued first. The date of manufacture is basis for issuing the tires. The date of rebuilding must not be used for issuing procedures. The tires are marked with the manufacture date included with the serial number. The serial number consists of a maximum of 10 characters (alpha or numeric). The first four characters is the date of manufacture in the form of a Julian date. Tires that are manufactured before this method have manufacturing dates separate from the serial number and are identified by month and year, or day, month, and year. The system of color coding tires to indicate the manufacture date helps in the identification and issue processing. A strip of colored tape imprinted with manufacture date, and diamond shape to designate rebuilt tires, is applied around the circumference of the tire. Tires that have been removed from aircraft and returned to the tire shop must be thoroughly inspected by a qualified inspector to determine their disposition. The appropriate condition code tag must be affixed to the tires as a result of the inspection. Rebuildable tires must be assigned condition code F and condemned tires with condition code H. Tires identified with condition code H will be shipped to the nearest DRMO or property disposal officer. Ship tires in condition code F according to the MRIL or via ATAC Hub. FLEET READINESS ACTION GROUP (FRAG) The FRAGs are fictional units established within each naval aviation depot. The FRAG is assigned responsibility to help the fleet achieve maximum aircraft readiness. The FRAG uses technical and logistics resources available at a NADEP using industrial and engineering resources in resolving critical supply support problems on an exception basis. The FRAG operations are limited to the weapons system supported by the particular NADEP, CFA, and depot repair point. When critical maintenance/material problems cannot be solved using normal procedures, contact the FRAG by naval message or telephone. NAVAL INVENTORY CONTROL POINT-PHILADELPHIA RECLAMATION PROGRAMS The overall NAVICP-Phil reclamation program consists of several subprograms. These programs are differentiated by the item undergoing reclamation (for example aircraft, engines, and so forth). 4-10
