Part I of this form is used to record information that
is established for each type/model/series (T/M/S)
aircraft. Such information includes references used as
well as basic life limitations, such as catapult cycles,
arrestment cycles, and flight hours.
Part II lists all components with life limits tracked
in flight hours or calendar time, and components
measured in number of catapult and arrestment/landing
cycles.
MONTHLY FLIGHT
SUMMARY (OPNAV
4790/21A)
The reporting custodian maintains the Monthly
Flight Summary form. This form is designed to permit
the monthly compilation of significant flight
operational data throughout the service life of the
aircraft. Reporting custodians must ensure that all
monthly totals have been entered on this form before
the aircraft is inducted into rework. This form, shown in
figure 6-2, is a permanent part of the aircraft logbook.
The Monthly Flight Summary form is divided into
four parts. Part I contains information about an
aircrafts service period and accumulated operating
service months (OPSERMOS). Only fleet support (FS)
activities make entries in Part I.
Reporting custodians (squadrons) use part II to
record the receipt, revision, or adjustment of a service
period. Period end dates (PEDs) may be adjusted when
aircraft complete special rework that requires 30 days
or more at a naval aviation depot (NADEP) facility or
as a result of an Aircraft Service Period Adjustment
(ASPA) inspection. Entries in this section reflect the
ending date of the current operating service period
(month and year) and the total number of OPSERMOS
the aircraft has accumulated as of the ending date.
Part III is self-explanatory and reflects an extension
of an operational service period beyond the period end
date. Extensions, when authorized, are granted in
increments of 3 months.
Part IV of the Monthly Flight Summary record is
used to record monthly flight and landing data. All
months are accounted for in chronological order. The
Monthly Aircraft Utilization Report, NAVFLIRS-1, is
the source of information for entries in this section of
the form. Entries must be typewritten or printed in
black ink. The exception to this procedure is when
aircraft and logbooks are closed out and transferred. In
this case, the close-out entry should be made in pencil.
INSPECTION RECORD (OPNAV 4790/22A)
The purpose of the Inspection Record form is-to
record periodic and conditional inspections performed
on the aircraft. Routine turnaround, daily, servicing,
engine wash, and oil sampling are not logged in any
logbook. Phase and conditional inspections are
maintained on separate pages. The form, illustrated in
figures 6-3 and 6-4, provides space for identification as
to whether the listed inspections are periodic or
conditional. The left column on the form is titled TYPE
OR DESCRIPTION OF INSPECTION to facilitate
proper descriptive entries for individual inspections.
Phase inspections are conducted at a stipulated
number of flight hours. Such inspections are entered
sequentially, and should reflect the type phase and
flight hours at time of inspection; for example, Phase
A/4105.5. Records of this inspection are removed from
the aircraft logbook at the time of standard depot-level
maintenance (SDLM), and a new record is initiated.
Conditional inspections are unscheduled events
required as a result of a specific overlimit condition
(hot start, overtemp, hard landing, etc.) or as a result of
circumstances or events that create an administrative
requirement for an inspection. Precarrier,
predeployment, acceptance, transfer, and aircraft
service period adjustment (ASPA) inspections are
logged as conditional inspections. A rework activity
will remove this page from the aircraft logbook upon
completion of SDLM and insert a new record
containing data necessary for determining when the
next inspection due will be initiated. A minimum of 2
years of data should be maintained at all times on the
conditional inspection page.
The following inspections, performed on aircraft,
are NOT logged in the inspection pages in the aircraft
logbook.
Inspections performed on equipment for
which an AESR is required are logged in the
AESR. This procedure provides one correct
place in the logbook for recording any
particular inspection. The procedure also
ensures that inspection records for major
aeronautical equipment are current and
available with such equipment after the
equipment has been removed from an
aircraft.
Bulletins that specify conditional inspec-
tions are logged in the TD section of the
6-6
