spare parts, and material that are necessary to accomplish the workload. The material control work center provides material support to the aircraft. maintenance department by performing the following functions: Ensures maintenance and material re- quirements for parts and materials are forwarded to ASD by using NALCOMIS Establishes delivery and pickup points for the material that is ordered, and ensures that the material that is received is promptly routed to the applicable work center Establishes procedures to operate the tool room and for tool inventories Initiates surveys in the event of loss, damage, or destruction of accountable items of material and equipment Performs certain cost and allotment record accounting, charting, and budgeting of costs Maintains liaison with ASD on maintenance material matters to ensure that material needs of the maintenance department are satisfied Performs an inventory of aircraft upon receipt and transfer to ensure that inventory log entries are complete, and inventory shortages are recorded The material control center also maintains aircraft inventory records. This includes the inventory of aircraft upon receipt and transfer. For a complete list of material control responsibilities, refer to the NAMP. AIRCRAFT.—The aircraft division coordinates and completes scheduled (inspections) and unscheduled maintenance on aircraft and equipment. The aircraft division performs organizational maintenance tasks on power plants, airframes, aviator’s equipment branch, and inspection branch. AVIONICS/ARMAMENT. —The avionics/ar- mament division performs organizational maintenance tasks in the avionics and armament equipment on aircraft. This division also provides technicians to the aircraft division (inspection branch) to accomplish scheduled maintenance (inspections) on aircraft. LINE. —The line division provides maintenance that supports the day-to-day tasks that are involved in flight operations. The maintenance that the line division provides is limited to servicing and does not involve repair of weapon systems. Daily and turnaround inspections, oil replenishment and sampling, minor adjustment and checkout of installed aircraft equipment, and assumption of custody and accountability of division support equipment (SE) are responsibilities of the line division. The line division also administers the plane captain assignment and qualification program. The line division directs troubleshooters, who are normally personnel from work centers in other production divisions, who are assigned to the line division. UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV).—A UAV division is established when responsibilities relative to the operation and maintenance of unmanned aerial vehicles are extensive. The UAV division coordinates and performs periodic maintenance, inspection, decontamination, and rehabilitation of recoverable UAVs. INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE LEVEL Production Divisions Permanently assigned aviation mechanics and technicians maintain naval aircraft. Organizational charts show production divisions as the lowest element, but this is not in keeping with their level of importance. If it were not for the production divisions, there would be no reason for any other part of the organization. The production elements of an OMA consist of four divisions, as shown in figure 1-1. These divisions maybe further subdivided into branches. Intermediate maintenance supports and sup- plements the work of OMAs. Intermediate maintenance usually performs these functions in a centrally located area for the support of operating aircraft. These operating aircraft may be ashore, aboard ship, or within a specific geographical area. Since an intermediate maintenance activity (IMA) is not assigned aircraft for operational purposes, its efforts are concentrated in the area of testing and repairing aircraft components. 1-9
