of the command receiving the report conducts an
investigation. Also, QA performs an analysis to
provide appropriate recommendations for corrective
action.
Aviation Gas Free Engineering
(AVGFE)
The purpose of the AVGFE program is to ensure
a safe environment when aeronautical fuel systems are
worked on. NAVAIR 01-1A-35 outlines requirements
for the AVGFE program. Technicians certified under
the AVGFE program must be qualified QARs or
CDQARs and have graduated from an approved
AVGFE program course. O-level activities normally
provide their own AVGFE technicians; however,
those activities with less than three gas free
engineering (GFE) requirements in a 6-month period
may request the services of the supporting I-level
AVGFE technician.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
MONITORING
The QA division monitoring includes the
continuous collection and distribution to cognizant
personnel of all messages, letters, instructions, and
other information concerning the programs or
processes being monitored.
The QA division does not manage any of these
programs and processes. However, they are
responsible for overall surveillance of these programs
and processes to identify problems and to verify
compliance. Audits are one of the tools used in
monitoring these programs and processes. QA gives
continuous attention to program performance. They
prepare checklists that describe the specific functions
needed to effectively monitor each assigned program
and process. These checklists are the same for O- and
I-level maintenance with a few exceptions.
QA monitors the programs and processes listed
below:
FOD
Fuel surveillance
Joint Oil Analysis Program (JOAP)
Aviators breathing oxygen (ABO)
Hydraulic contamination control
SE Operator Training/Licensing and SE Planned
Maintenance Systems (PMS)
SE testing
