    Study Notes

    Aircraft Servicing and Maintenance

    • The text focuses on aircraft maintenance procedures and their importance, outlining various stages of repair, defect reporting, and document management.
    • Flight Servicing: Includes verifying proper servicing, detecting degradation, and carrying out rectification and preventative maintenance work.

    Local Instruction Folder (LIF)

    • LIF should be reviewed at least 5 monthly to remove any obsolete instructions.
    • New interim/local instructions are issued with a rescission date under the authority of CO ALS/S4 or equivalent.
    • These instructions are temporary and address ad-hoc maintenance or logistic administrative procedures.

    Local Technical Orders (LTO)

    • LTOs are issued for immediate compliance within 7 working days.
    • When sending TMDE (Test Measurement Diagnosis Equipment) for calibration or repair, the following actions are required:
      • Use the correct SAF (Standard Aircraft Form) form for different scenarios.
      • Send only to Mindef Approved Contractors (MAC) unless otherwise approved.
      • Archive all traceability records.

    TMDE Calibration and Traceability

    • Workcentres wishing to conduct in-house calibration need approval from the CO ALS/AOMS/ASMS.
    • Critical measurements excluded from TMDE traceability are included in AFLO Volume 603.10.001 or AFLO Volume 205.05.001.
    • The ALD Quality Assurance Branch approves any TMDE traceability exclusions.
    • TMDE must be calibrated during these instances:
      • Initial phase without a valid calibration certificate.
      • After repair.
      • When accuracy is in doubt, even if not due for calibration.

    Traceability Records

    • TMDE traceability records are maintained for quality control and to record service information.
    • Turn Round Inspection is conducted between successive flights.

    Defects & Repair

    • Repeated defects occur when the same symptom presents in the next immediate flight.
    • Recurred defects occur within 20 operating hours for transport aircraft and 5 sorties for other types.
    • Major defects are:
      • Likely to cause injury to personnel
      • Likely to cause significant damage
      • Prevent operational readiness
    • When a Recurred/Repeated defect investigation is completed, the Prime FMC briefs the CO ALS/co AoMS/co ASMS for concurrence.
    • Minor defects are less severe and usually don't impact operations.
    • Cannibalization is the process of taking parts from one unit to repair another, it is usually considered a major defect.

    Defect Reporting

    • Objectives of defect reporting:
      • Collect information for management purposes.
      • Enable defect investigation and analysis.
      • Provide a fast and effective communication channel for critical situations.

    Loose Articles

    • If a loose article is found, a search is conducted.
    • If not found after the next scheduled servicing, the ADDL entry is extended, and a limitation log entry is opened to track the situation.
    • If a lost article cannot be found due to material shortage or time constraint, it is documented in the SAF form.

    Job Instructions (JI)

    • JIs can be issued by MC (Maintenance Centre) for MAC, OEM, and RSAF workcentres.
    • The contents of the JI are transferred to the SAF 1400 log, component/equipment records or worksheets.
    • The workcentre must complete Part 2 of the JI and return it to the MC.

    STI (Special Technical Instruction)

    • STIs are used to address:
      • Serious faults
      • Quality-related concerns
    • STIs are non-recurring and should be adhered to before the next servicing.
    • STIs are distinct from Servicing Instructions (SIs) which are recurring.

    Aircraft Servicing Requirements

    • RSAF aircraft servicing adheres to specific Inspection and Servicing requirements:
      • Before flight, Turnaround, and After Flight Inspection.
    • The AFIRC (Air Force Industrial Relations Centre) has a maximum of 1 week to issue a STI or SI leaflet after approval by the ALD branch.
    • Level III reference requirement is a compulsory reference with a signature for each job step in Level III servicing (e.g., scheduled servicing on aircraft engines or ejection seats).
    • Weapons and equipment installation requires at least a Level II reference.
    • If there are no specific instructions for a particular component, a Level II reference is required.
    • For Flight Line servicing, reference is required on a "need-to" basis.
