When Discovered code. The When Discovered
code is a one-character, alphabetic code that identifies
when the need for maintenance was discovered.
Transaction code. The transaction code is a
two-character, numeric code that shows the type of
data being reported.
Time/Cycle Prefix code. The Time/Cycle block is
made up of a prefix and four numerical digits. The
prefix indicates the source of time (usually in hours),
cycles, or counts (rounds fired, number of catapult
launches, or arrested landings). All entries in the
Time/Cycle block are preceded by a prefix code. Some
examples of these codes are as follows:
Aindicates aircraft time and is used to report
removal/installation of equipment not having an
hourmeter installed or Aeronautical Equipment
Service Record (AESR) or an SRC card maintained.
Eindicates engine time (logbook time since
overhaul).
Llandings.
Mindicates meter time.
Nrounds fired.
All entries in these blocks must be five digits. For
example, report 27 hours type-equipment time as
A0027. If the time exceeds 9,999 hours, record the last
four digits only. For example, 10,231 hours would be
recorded as A0231.
Awaiting Maintenance Reason code (AWM). The
AWM code is a one-digit, numeric code used to show
the reason no maintenance is being performed.

SE RECORDS, FORMS, AND
DOCUMENTS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the
records, forms, and documents used for support
equipment (SE) maintenance management and
their purposes.
Throughout the operational life of an end item of
SE, many records, forms, and documents are generated
for the support and management of that particular
item. The following records, forms, and documents
(which effect transfer of SE) are used to obtain and
maintain the history of operation, maintenance, and
configuration status.
SE CUSTODY AND MAINTENANCE
HISTORY RECORD, OPNAV 4790/51
This form is used to record acceptance
information, custody and transfer, rework,
preservation and depreservation, and TDs. It also
includes a record of periodic maintenance performed
by hours, starts, date completed, next PM due, activity
and signature. It accompanies all items of SE that have
formal periodic maintenance requirements; for
example, MRCs, MIMs, handbook of service
instructions, manufacturers handbook, and applicable
TDs. Exceptions are precision measuring equipment
(PME), engine test cells and stands, and GB1As (these
items have their own records). However, those items
of PME that have formal periodic maintenance
requirements, in addition to calibration requirements,
will require this form; for example, versatile avionics
shop test (VAST) stations. Reporting custodians retain
the latest completed copy, the current copy, and
transcribe accumulated data on initiation of each new
record (fig. 1-12). This form accompanies weapons
and support equipment (WSE) to the weapons
department when subcustodied from AIMD. You can
find an example of the form, along with step-by-step
instructions, in OPNAVINST 4790.2.
