Study Notes
- The manual outlines procedures for aerospace equipment maintenance inspection, documentation, policies, and proper storage, handling, inspection, testing, maintenance, and preparation for use.
- It applies to organizations maintaining aerospace vehicles, missiles, nuclear weapons, TMDE, trainers, FSE, industrial plant equipment, and related SE.
- HQ AFMC/A4FI, WPAFB, OH is the approval and waiver authority for this technical manual.
- Submit recommended changes using the Recommended Change Process in accordance with TO 00-5-1, to the applicable TCM listed in ETIMS.
Technical Order 00-20-Series Processes
- Establishes policies and procedures for using 00-20-series TOs and provides guidance for weapon system and equipment maintenance inspection and documentation.
- Implements policies of AFMCI 21-100, AFI 11-301V1, and AFI 21-102.
- MAJCOMs can supplement 00-20-series TOs, following requirements in TO 00-5-1.
- For maintenance policy, the lead commands are Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Education and Training Command, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve Command, Air Force Space Command, Global Strike Command and Air Force Materiel Command.
- Air Force agencies cannot provide maintenance data to contractors without approval from the weapon system Controlling Distribution Office (CDO), in accordance with DoDI 5230.24.
- The Maintenance Group Commander (GP/CC) oversees compliance with this TO; equivalent positions include Chief of Maintenance, Chief of Test Force Teams, Air Mobility Squadron Commander, and Installation Team Chief.
- Forward waiver requests through MAJCOM maintenance policy to HQ AFMC/A4FI.
- The term "Aerospace Equipment" refers to weapon systems and equipment such as aerospace vehicles, equipment, missiles, nuclear weapons, Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), trainers, training equipment, engines, Flight Support Equipment (FSE), industrial plant equipment, and all related Support Equipment (SE).
Contractor Maintenance
- Contractors must provide a list of personnel authorized to certify aerospace equipment for safe flight or use to the Air Force contract administration office.
- Any changes to the list will be immediately forwarded to the contract administration office.
- The listing will specifically identify personnel who are authorized to sign exceptional releases, downgrade or sign off Red X or Red W conditions, certify operational capability, perform functional check flights, and update weight and balance records.
- Contractors must have a training program for personnel to perform specific functions or operate support equipment, with certification/recertification provisions.
- The contract administration office ensures the contractor meets maintenance management and documentation requirements in applicable TOs, which are included in the contract.
Transient Aircraft (TA) Section
- The TA Section handles transient aircraft by recovering, servicing, inspecting, maintaining, and launching them.
- Transient aircraft are those not assigned to a base and en route to another location, needing routine servicing.
- Aircraft are not considered transient when deploying or staging for sorties or training, with or without home base maintenance support.
- The Maintenance Operations Center (MOC) coordinates specialist support for transient aircraft.
- The TA Section NCOIC/Chief completes AFTO Form 726 to document maintenance servicing and billing information, and has additional responsibilities outlined in AFI 21-101.
Aerospace Vehicle Inspections - General
- Inspection intervals are found in MDS-specific -6 TO maintenance manuals, item technical orders, inspection workcards, checklists, commercial manuals, or depot engineering data.
- Periodic, phase, isochronal, PDM, and aerospace vehicle manufacturer maintenance are the inspection concepts for aerospace vehicles.
- The GP/CC ensures periodic, phase, or isochronal inspections are done on time, as authorized in TOs or waivers.
- The GP/CC can increase the frequency or scope of inspections temporarily.
- Scheduling deviations for periodic, phase, or isochronal inspections beyond authorized limits require approval from the Program Manager (PM) and owning MAJCOM.
- Scheduling deviations affecting PDM or aerospace vehicle manufacturer maintenance require approval from the PM, Lead Command, and owning MAJCOM.
- When new inspection requirements are introduced, start them at the prescribed interval, or as soon as practical if the age/time exceeds the interval, regulating subsequent inspections accordingly.
- When requirements are added or changed for accessory items, determine operating time in accordance with Chapter 6.
Inspection Requirements
- The PM determines the inspection concept and recurring maintenance cycle, ensuring scheduling flexibility to align maintenance requirements.
- Recurring maintenance requirements are in MDS-specific -6 TOs and inspection workcard decks.
- Workcards may be developed as self-contained documents and only need to be referenced in the -6 inspection manual, if specified by the acquiring activity.
- Lead commands can authorize modified workcard decks during contingencies.
- Construct contingency decks to ensure all items impacting aerospace vehicle safety and reducing aerospace vehicle reliability are inspected.
- Accomplish the normal inspection workcard deck upon termination of this period
- Periodic, isochronal, phase, HSCs, HPOs, and commercial equivalent inspections are scheduled at equal intervals throughout the total inspection cycle.
- Scheduled inspection requirements in publications besides MDS-specific -6 TOs do not apply to installed components.
- Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) not in an installed status and therefore not listed in MDS specific -6 TO, as defined in the Glossary, are exempt from these requirements.
Specified Flying Period
- The specified flying period starts with the first flight and lasts for a period of hours not to exceed 72 hours, as specified by the MAJCOM, unless authorized by the PM and MDS specific -6 TO.
Inspection Types
- A Pre-Flight Inspection (PR) ensures flight preparedness by examining the aerospace vehicle and checking systems/components for defects or malfunctions, following the MDS-specific -6 TO.
- A PR is needed before the first flight of a flying period or when the 24, 48, or 72-hour PR validity period has expired.
- Units can place aerospace vehicles on alert status, sealed and monitored by maintenance after a complete PR.
- A new PR is unnecessary during the alert period if launched directly from alert status.
- A Pre-Launch Inspection (PLI) or Walk-Around Inspection (WAI) are abbreviated pre-flight inspections required by the MDS-specific -6 TO and/or MAJCOM supplement.
- An End-of-Runway (EOR) Inspection is a final check of the aerospace vehicle before takeoff, as directed by the PM in the applicable -6 TO.
- Aerospace vehicles that do not have a PM directed -6 EOR inspection requirement do not require this inspection.
- The purpose of the inspection is to detect critical defects that may have developed or have become apparent during ground operation of the aerospace vehicle.
- Aerospace vehicles launched from alert status do not require this inspection with exception to training missions.
- Alert Force Evaluations will not require an EOR either, and will be treated as Active Air Defense scrambles.
- A Thru-Flight (TH) Inspection is done between flights when a turnaround or continuation flight is scheduled and a BPO inspection is not needed and consists of checking flight continuance suitability by visual and/or operational checks of certain components, areas or systems.
- A TH is not required when aircraft are hot-pitted and immediately accomplish a turnaround or continuation sortie.
- Quick Turn (QT) Inspections are abbreviated thru-flight inspections authorized by MDS-specific -6 TOs and may be authorized by MAJCOMs for aerospace vehicles resuming alert after flight or being placed on alert.
- The Basic Post-Flight (BPO) Inspection is more thorough than PR or TH inspections and is accomplished in accordance with the MDS specific -6 TO or maintenance manual for the aerospace vehicle after the last flight of a specified flying period.
- A Combined Pre-Flight/Basic Post-Flight Inspection (PR/BPO) consolidates the requirements of the PR and BPO inspections into a single inspection accomplished at the end of the specified flying period or prior to the first flight of the next specified flying period.
- The Hourly Post-Flight Inspection (HPO) is accomplished at equally spaced intervals as specified in the applicable MDS specific -6 TO; determine the due time for all HPO inspections at the completion of each Periodic/Phase inspection.
- A Periodic Inspection (PE) happens after a set number of flying/operating hours or a calendar period, per the MDS-specific -6 TO and is more extensive than HPO or BPO inspections.
- For Phase Inspections both Periodic and Phase inspections are cumulative for the life of an aerospace vehicle.
- Accomplish Phase Inspections (PH) upon accrual of the number of flying hours specified in the applicable MDS specific -6 TO and maintenance manual.
- Schedule PH at equal intervals throughout the total inspection cycle regardless of when the inspections are actually accomplished.
- Per MAJCOM and PM authorization, phases may be accomplished in advance for extended missions.
- The Isochronal Inspection (ISO) concept translates flying hours into calendar periods. The PM ensures the calendar period is properly established to meet maintenance and engineering require- ments.
- Interval time frame is from the completion of the post-dock from the last ISO to the start of the next ISO. MAJCOMs, with PM concurrence, approve deviations to schedules when ISO cannot be met.
- Aerospace vehicles in Purpose Identifier Code DJ, DK, DM, DO (AFI 21-103), awaiting depot input or undergoing UDLM, do not accrue -6 inspection days.
- For ICBMs, isochronal inspections are based on calendar intervals with set due periods for major, minor, weekly, daily, and semi-monthly types.
- A MINor ISO Inspection consists of checking certain components, areas or systems of the aerospace vehicle to determine if conditions exist, if uncorrected, could result in failure or malfunction of a component prior to the next scheduled inspection.
- A MAJor ISO Inspection is a thorough inspection of the entire aerospace vehicle, and individual requirements may be more extensive in scope than previous inspection items.
- A Home Station Check (HSC) Inspection is arranged and designed for accomplishment upon expiration of a specified short-term calendar interval, as an integral part of the isochronal concept.
- Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) requires skills/equipment/facilities not at operating locations, involving inspections of areas, components, and systems to MDS -6 TO requirements.
- Field level tasks may be accomplished at PDM if their accomplishment is economically feasible. The PM will, in coordination with the using agency, schedule the PDM at or prior to, the scheduled due date.
- Letter checks consist of A through D. A/B checks are considered minor inspections and are usually performed at home station and C/D checks are considered major inspections and are usually performed at a Depot facility.
- No-Fly Calendar Inspections: 30-day or 90-day inspections required when aerospace vehicles don't fly for consecutive days.
- A Transfer Inspection is covered under chapter 8
- An Acceptance Inspection (AI) is performed on new, newly assigned or transferred, and post organic or contract depot repaired aerospace vehicles, engines and Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE).
- Acceptance Inspection Deficiency Report requirements must be completed in the Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS) no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the systems or assets in accordance with TO 00-35D-54.
- One Time Inspections (OTIs) verify suspected equipment conditions or malfunctions.
- OTIs include the Title, Applicable Equipment, Date OTI was issued, Compliance period/Type or category (i.e., Immediate, Urgent, Routine),Remove from service date, Rescission date, By whom to be accomplished (Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) and man-hours required), Tools required, How work is to be accomplished (give detailed and specific step-by-step instructions), Operational checks (if required to verify operational status, list TO references), Record actions, Compliance reporting (MAJCOMs may require periodic status), OPR (the OTI’s drafter; include name and telephone number) and OTI Distribution.
- An In Process Inspection (IPI) is an additional inspection or verification step at a critical point in the installation, assembly or reassembly of a system, subsystem or component.
- IPI is accomplished and documented by an authorized IPI inspector other than the technician performing the specific step of a task that requires the IPI.
Aerospace Vehicles in Storage
- Storage time accrues per TO 1-1-17 and MDS-specific TOs.
- Storage exceeding 15 days does not count against calendar time for the next scheduled home station check, minor, or major inspection, but prior days are included after release.
Inspection Workcards
