Maintains the material control register Maintains inventories of materials on hand Maintains subcustody records for accountable items held by the department Maintains records of all material transactions and accounts for the expenditures of funds by the department Furnishes technical advice and information to the local supply activity concerning material requirements for the assigned workload In IMAs, the material control center has an aeronautical material screening unit (AMSU). This unit coordinates the screening of received materials and parts to determine the status and repair responsibility and capability. PRODUCTION DIVISIONS.—Normally, the l-level maintenance organization consists of six production divisions, as shown in figure 1-2. The six production divisions are power plants, airframes, avionics, armament equipment, aviation life support equipment, and support equipment. In this chart you can see that if the OMD and IMA are combined, an organizational maintenance division is established. Additionally, a support services division may also be established if so desired. However, this discussion deals with the six normal production divisions and their responsibilities, minus organizational maintenance and support services divisions. The type of work that you will perform is the same regardless of the maintenance level at which you are working. If you are an AD, you will work on engines. If you are an AE, you will work on instruments and electrical equipment. If you are an AT, you will work on avionics equipment. However, the work that you will perform is at a level beyond the capability of the supported activity. In this section, the more important responsibilities and functions of these divisions are presented. Power Plants. ADS staff the power plants division. They perform maintenance on power plants, power plant components, and associated systems. Airframes. AMs are assigned to work centers in the airframes division. The airframes division is responsible for the specified level of maintenance for the airframe and structural components; moveable structures and surfaces, including their hydraulic and pneumatic control and actuating systems and mechanisms; air-conditioning, pressurization, visual improvement, oxygen, and other utility systems; and seat and canopy ejection systems and components. Avionics. The avionics division is staffed with the appropriate combination of ratings to provide maintenance of avionics equipment for the supported activities: AEs maintain aircraft electrical and instrument systems. AT(I)s perform intermediate- level preventive and corrective maintenance on aviation electronic components supported by conventional and automatic test equipment, including repair of weapons replaceable assemblies (WRA) and shop replaceable assemblies (SRA). The AT also performs microminiature (2M) component repair, and performs test equipment qualification and associated test bench preventive and corrective maintenance. Armament Equipment. AOs are assigned to the armament division. They maintain aircraft armament equipment and aviation ordnance equipment. Aviation Life Support Equipment. PRs are assigned to the aviation life support equipment division. This division is responsible for intermediate maintenance in connection with parachutes, life rafts, pressure suits, oxygen masks, emergency equipment kits, flight clothing, oxygen regulators, automatic parachute actuators, and aviators’ protective helmets, etc. AME personnel also may be assigned to this division for upkeep and support of the oxygen system, pressurization and air-conditioning systems, and other emergency equipment as assigned within the scope of that rating. Support Equipment (SE). The Aviation Support Equipment Technician (AS) performs the necessary maintenance on the SE assigned to the maintenance department and supported activities. SE includes such items as test stands, workstands, mobile electric power plants, and pneumatic and hydraulic servicing equipment. Q31. Q32. Q33. What is the purpose of the production control work center? At the intermediate maintenance activity, who provides qualitative and quantitative analytical information to the AMO? At the I-level, power plants, airframes, avionics, armament equipment, support equipment, and aviators’ life support equipment are known as what type of divisions? 1-11
