Purpose. AFI 36-2650 establishes guidance and training procedures for personnel assigned to aircraft, munitions, and missile maintenance organizations throughout the AF. 1.2. Objective. Provide initial, upgrade, proficiency, qualification, recurring, and certification training needed by a technician to perform duties in their primary Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC). The overall capability of a maintenance unit depends on the state of training for personnel assigned. Training is essential to improving and sustaining unit capability and is one of the most important responsibilities of commanders and supervisors. Maintenance training carries an equal priority with the operational training mission when it comes to balancing resources for aircraft, support equipment, facilities, tools, funding, personnel, etc. (AFR/ANG requirements are identified in Chapter 10). 1.3. Applicability. This instruction is directive in nature and applicable to commanders, supervisors, Unit Training Managers (UTM) and personnel assigned to maintenance groups, maintenance squadrons, maintenance training sections, and other maintenance organizations throughout the Air Force. Performance-based activities (contractors) will organize in accordance with the contract or management plan. (T-2) Note: Certain sections of this AFI are not applicable (N/A) to AFR/ANG, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, and nuclear units. Refer to MAJCOM supplements and/or instructions for further guidance, where applicable. Specific training requirements for munitions and missile maintenance activities are included in the appropriate Air Force Manuals (AFMANs) 21-202, Missile Maintenance Management and 21-204, Nuclear Weapons Maintenance. 1.4. Equivalent Commanders. Throughout this instruction, responsibilities for the Maintenance Group Commander are identified. Units not aligned under a maintenance group will assign these responsibilities to the appropriate level commander. (T-2) 1.5. Terminology. When using this instruction, the following applies: 1.5.1. Shall, Must, Will - Indicate a mandatory requirement. Note: “Will” is also used to express a declaration of purpose for a future event. 1.5.2. Should - Indicates a preferred or recommended method or option. 1.5.3. May - Indicates an acceptable or satisfactory method or option. 1.6. Office of Primary Responsibility. The maintenance training section (UTM for AFR/ANG) is the Point of Contact (POC) for maintenance training within the maintenance group in accordance with DAFI 36-2670 and this instruction. The UTM or civilian equivalent will serve as OPR for those units without a maintenance training section. (T-2) The AFR/ANG UTM or civilian equivalent will serve as OPR for those units without a maintenance training section. (T-2) See Chapter 10 for AFR/ANG UTM duties and responsibilities. AFI36-2650 22 JUNE 2022 7 1.7. Air Education and Training Command (AETC) Training Detachment (TD). (N/A to AFR/ANG aircraft maintenance units). The TD is the primary aircraft and/or Intercontinental Ballistic Missile maintenance training agency on base. Suppliers will provide TDs with the same quality and quantity of support as all other Air Force Receivers in accordance with AFPD 25-2, Support Agreements, therefore, a support agreement is not necessary unless both the Supplier and Receiver agree to different levels of support (T-2) 1.7.1. Installations with an AETC TD will be utilized as the primary maintenance training resource at all bases with an assigned TD. (T-2) 1.7.1.1. The TD will not conduct ancillary training. (T-2) 1.7.1.2. Maintenance training sections and TDs should not duplicate training. 1.7.1.3. Maintenance training sections will develop courses and supplement training when the training requirements are beyond the capability and timely response of the TD. (T-2) 1.7.2. Student travel program for 982d Training Group (TRG) TD course. Submit travel and per diem cost for student travel to TD courses to 502 Comptroller Squadron (CPTS), Sheppard Air Force Base (AFB), Texas (TX) for funding approval in accordance with DAFI 36-2670. Note: If an individual cannot attend the TD course after the name is submitted and a fund cite has been provided, notify the 982d TRG and MAJCOM maintenance training branch as soon as possible. 1.8. MAJCOM Mandatory Course List. (N/A to AFR/ANG). MAJCOMs will create a master list of all mandatory TD, maintenance training section, and myLearning courses for each mission design series aircraft. (T-1) MAJCOMs will conduct annual audits to ensure courses have been identified for completion for all applicable AFSCs (see paragraphs 8.3.3 and 8.3.4). (T-1) 1.9. Utilization of Training Courses. Units will utilize AETC TD, maintenance training section and ancillary training courses for upgrade, proficiency, qualification, recurring, and CUT to the fullest extent possible. (T-2) 1.10. Class Cancellation Policy. TD classes with enroute, temporary duty, AFR/ANG and/or multi-phased students will not be canceled and will be supported by the host unit, unless approved by the wing commander. (T-3) Host unit personnel will not be removed from TD courses due to appointments, local exercises, or higher headquarters inspections, unless approved by the wing commander. (T-3) The Maintenance Group Commander (or equivalent) may cancel maintenance training section classes during local exercises. The maintenance training operating instruction, developed by the maintenance training section, will outline the cancellation policies for maintenance training classes. (T-2) Local students released from maintenance training section and/or TD courses will report to their respective work centers. (T-2) 1.11. Curriculum Advisory Committee. (N/A for AFR/ANG and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) units). Use the Curriculum Advisory Committee to investigate, analyze, and recommend the most cost effective and efficient method to satisfy training requests. The Curriculum Advisory Committee will be composed of the Maintenance Training Section Development and Instructor Element Chief (chairperson), UTM (as required), TD (as required), subject matter experts, applicable work center supervisors and/or section chiefs, and Maintenance Training Section Superintendent. (T-2) AFI36-2650 22 JUNE 2022 8 1.11.1. The maintenance training section will conduct a Curriculum Advisory Committee when: 1.11.1.1. Developing a new course. (T-2) 1.11.1.2. Deciding which training agency should conduct requested training. (T-2) 1.11.1.3. Revising 25% or more of an existing course. (T-2) 1.11.2. The maintenance training section can use a Curriculum Advisory Committee to conduct reviews of maintenance training section courses and TD courses when necessary. 1.12. Cross-Utilization Training. CUT provides the unit internal flexibility by training individuals to perform tasks on their assigned weapons systems that are not in his/her primary AFSC. This training can offset periods of austere or low skill level manning. It also enhances combat capability by developing a pool of qualified personnel to draw upon during surges. Use care not to create a dependency upon CUT trained personnel for every task. CUT should never be a long-term fix or management solution for an AFSC shortfall. Ensure the training records of individuals receiving CUT are appropriately documented. CUT trainees must be a qualified 5-level or 3-level that have completed all upgrade requirements except minimum time in training. (T-1) Personnel possessing an AFSC with a shred, for example, 2A3X4C and 2A5X1B will not be utilized on aircraft not applicable to that shred without AF Career Field Manager approval except in MAJCOM designated enroute units. MAJCOMS will provide a list of designated enroute units. (T-1) Note: This guidance does not apply to remotely piloted aircraft weapon systems or other weapon systems where AF approved maintenance philosophy dictates the merger of AFSCs. 1.13. Block Training. Block training is a term used in the maintenance community to describe the type of format used for training. Maintenance should use this format to group training requirements into a single training session. Initial mission orientation and refresher training are the most commonly conducted courses in the block-training format. 1.14. Ancillary Training. Accomplish according to governing directives. Make every effort to consolidate training requirements to reduce the impact on the mission. 1.15. Overdue Training. Individual recurring qualifications become overdue on the last day of the month in which recertification is due. When an individual is on temporary duty, on leave, or incapacitated, that person need not be decertified provided the required training and/or evaluations are completed within 30 days of the member’s return to duty, not to exceed 2 calendar months from original due date, unless specified by another authoritative reference. 1.16. Air Force Engineering and Technical Services (AFETS) and Contractor Engineering and Technical Services (CETS) (If applicable). 1.16.1. When necessary, use AFETS personnel for specialized systems and equipment training and integrate these personnel within the maintenance training section (UTM for AFR/ANG) instructional effort. (T-3) 1.16.2. Courses developed or taught by AFETS will be coordinated through the maintenance training section (UTM for AFR/ANG) to ensure courses meet curriculum standards. (T-3) 1.16.3. Coordinate training requests conducted by AFETS/CETS as listed in DAFI 21-101, Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management. AFI36-2650 22 JUNE 2022 9 1.17. Maintenance Training Section Instructions. 1.17.1. Maintenance training sections (UTM for AFR/ANG) will develop and publish a local training instruction or supplement to this AFI and MAJCOM training instructions to specify local policies and procedures to include, as a minimum: 1.17.1.1.

Provide an electronic copy of the briefing to each required participant prior to the formal briefing. 1.18.5. Use approved Maintenance Information System (MIS) to help develop the TAB. Only an AF level approved MIS is authorized to be used to automate training as designated in accordance with DAFI 21-101. MAJCOM approved systems may be used to assist with the training process but not be considered the primary MIS. Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS), G081/Mobility AF Logistics Command and Control (G081/Mobility AF Log C2), and MIS are synonymous as they apply to this AFI. The generic term MIS allows flexibility to associate with any automated information system currently used in the maintenance community and provides for other emerging systems that fall under the same MIS business rules. 1.18.6. TAB contents must include items identified in DAFI 36-2670 (required if applicable) and ensure Intercontinental Ballistic Missile maintenance groups can meet the requirements within this guidance. (T-2) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile maintenance group TAB formats will be standardized by their owning MAJCOM. (T-2) 1.18.6.1. Identify trends noted from previous TAB (e.g., high Quality Assurance (QA) fail rate for Auxiliary Power Unit operations). 1.18.6.2.

Note: MAJCOM and/or Maintenance Group Commander (MXG/CC) may direct additional AFSCs. 1.18.6.3. 21A/M officer upgrade by Basic, Senior, and Master. Note: MAJCOM and/or MXG/CC may direct additional AFSCs. 1.18.6.4. Production and QA trends related to training. Note: Broken out by trend, number of sorties effected, squadron effected, how many were production related, and how many were QA fails. Note: Only trend items related to training should be tracked. 1.18.6.5. Maintenance Group (MXG) critical skills will be reported by number required and number qualified. (T-2) MAJCOM will set critical task list. (T-1) MXG/CC may add local requirements. 1.18.6.6. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) - TD Demand Response Rate. Divide the number of quotas allocated (total number of seats supported by the TD) by the number of quotas requested and reflect the rate as a percentage. 1.18.6.7. KPI - TD Utilization Rate. This rate reflects how well the unit utilized the seats that were allocated from the TD. Compute it by dividing the number of seats utilized by the number of seats allocated (for the reported month) and express the rate as a percentage. 1.18.6.8. KPI - Maintenance Training Demand Response Rate. Divide the number of quotas allocated, for Maintenance training section conducted courses, by the number requested and reflect the rate as a percentage. 1.18.6.9. KPI - Maintenance Training Utilization Rate. This rate reflects how well the unit utilized the seats that were allocated from the maintenance training section. Compute it by dividing the number of seats utilized, by the number of seats allocated (for the reported month) and express the rate as a percentage. Note: Maintenance training sections should AFI36-2650 22 JUNE 2022 11 report lost training time in accordance with their MAJCOM instruction. Walk-ins are not factored into this rate. 1.18.6.10. Field TD and MTS backlogs will be broken out by: course name, # in training next 90 days, # completed in reported month, overdues, waivers, and the get well estimated completion date. (T-2) 1.18.6.11. Special certification status will be broken out by: Special Certification Roster (SCR) item, required/qualified per unit, total required/qualified for the MXG, and the total number of waivers for each SCR item. (T-2) Note: The MAJCOMs determine what SCR items will be tracked. MXG/CCs may add additional requirements. 1.18.6.12. Aircraft utilized for training will detail how many aircraft were used for training and by which agencies (e.g., MXG, MTS, Field TD, or AFETS), how many hours utilized, and number of personnel trained. (T-2) In addition, each task trained will be shown with how many individuals were trained. (T-2) 1.18.6.13. Report lost training time and instructor utilization in three categories: lost classroom time, duty related non-classroom time, and additional duties. Report both in the TAB. 1.18.6.14. Trends noted from previous Status of Training briefings with actions to be taken. 1.19. Training Assessment Feedback. The Maintenance Training Section Superintendent (UTM for AFR/ANG) serves as OPR for local administration for internal and Office of Collateral Responsibility for external feedback. 1.19.1. Establish a feedback loop in the maintenance training operating instruction between the quality assurance program and maintenance training sections (UTM for AFR/ANG) that focuses on training deficiencies. 1.19.2.
