assembly must be removed. Hours or counts come from
operating records that indicate elapsed time operated or
counts (cycles run) on the equipment or aircraft. From
these hours or counts, replacement due should be
computed in accordance with procedures in the latest
edition of OPNAVINST 4790.2. When computing
replacement due, you should screen all portions of the
ASR to determine what component has the least
operating time remaining.
Figures 6-13 and 6-14 show an ASR for a servo
cylinder installed on BUNO 149725 with two
components, the trunnion assembly and the housing
assembly installed on the servo cylinder. The trunnion
assembly is authorized 4,200 operating hours between
overhauls and has accumulated no operating hours
since overhaul, so the assembly can be operated for
4,200 hours. The housing assembly is authorized a total
service life of 5,700 hours before it must be retired
(discarded). The housing assembly has accumulated
4,000 hours and can now be operated for 1,700 hours.
The servo cylinder is authorized 1,800 operating hours
between overhauls and has accumulated zero operating
hours. In this example, the housing assembly (1,700
hours) becomes the determining factor when the
replacement due is computed. The 1,700 hours is added
to the aircraft time-since new at the time of installation
as follows:
Aircraft Time Since New
8,975
Housing Assembly Operating Hours + 1,700
Replacement Due
10,675
In this example, the servo cylinder must be removed
from the aircraft when the aircraft reaches 10,675
operating hours. In other words, the aircraft can operate
for 1,700 hours after installation of the servo cylinder
before the servo cylinder must be removed from the
aircraft. Replacement intervals are outlined in
applicable PMICs.
Section I of the ASR is the Identification Data
section. All blocks must be completed.
Section II lists all life limited and forced removal
subassemblies. The maximum flight hours or counts
expended on any subassembly determine when a
particular assembly must be removed.
Section III is used to record installation of an
assembly. When assemblies are installed, verify all
existing entries for aircraft and equipment hours or
counts and assembly hours or counts.
Section IV records instances of removal. Ensure a
reason for removal and a job control number (JCN) is
entered in Block D of this section. This assists
maintenance personnel in future repair or rework
actions of the assembly.
Section V is used to document TD installation and
removal. Notice that the TD Identification section
contains the same information as the F record of the
MAF.
Section VI contains Repair/Rework/Overhaul/
Exceedances data. Record all repair, rework, or
overhaul actions in this section. Record any instances
of exceedances during operation and the level of
exceedance. Refer to the latest edition of the
OPNAVINST 4790.2 for specific details and
procedures for recording data in this section.
Q22. An ASR is lost. What activity should you contact
for information required to reconstruct a
replacement ASR?
EQUIPMENT HISTORY RECORD (EHR)
CARD (OPNAV 4790/113)
The Equipment History Record (EHR) Card (figs.
6-15 and 6-16) provides a method of monitoring
specific maintenance data on maintenance engineering
cognizant field activity (MECFA) designated
components. The EHR card also tracks maintenance
data for equipment that does not qualify as an SRC card
item. Quick engine change kits (QECKs) and
armament equipments are examples of EHR card
equipment. An individual card for each EHR
component is maintained as part of the aircraft logbook
as long as the component is installed. When a
component is removed from the aircraft, the EHR card
should be closed-out, and the card should accompany
the component.
NOTE: Do not track SRCs with EHR cards. Loss
of an EHR card does not prevent use of the component.
Each MECFA is responsible for maintaining the
history of EHR components. To accomplish this
function, the user must forward canceled cards, copies
of updated cards, and copies of new cards generated for
EHR items to the appropriate MECFA. The respective
MECFAs maintain this information and respond to
requests for EHR data.

(SRC) CARD (OPNAV 4790/28A)
The complete maintenance history, installation,
and usage data for all items designated as scheduled
removal components are recorded on the SRC card
