M. AIRCRAFT SERVICE PERIOD ADJUSTMENT (ASPA) INSPECTION - CONDITIONAL MAINTENANCE INSPECTION WHICH IS A DEPOT LEVEL EVALUATION OF AIRCRAFT GENERAL MATERIAL CONDITION. PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED ASPA EVALUATOR AND CONSISTS OF RECORD/LOGBOOKS ANALYSIS AND A PHYSICAL AIRCRAFT EXAMINATION. THE INSPECTION IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN EXTENSION OF THE PERIOD END DATE (PED) IS JUSTIFIABLE. IF THE AIRCRAFT FAILS THE ASPA INSPECTION, IT WILL BE INDUCTED INTO STANDARD DEPOT LEVEL MAINTENANCE (SDLM) AT THE END OF THE PED.

B. JCN - JOB CONTROL NUMBER - A 9, 10, OR 11- CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC CODE USED TO SEPARATELY IDENTIFY EACH MAINTENANCE ACTION. IT IS COMPOSED OF FOUR PARTS: ORGANIZATION CODE, THREE CHARACTER PART OF THE JULIAN DATE SHOWING THE DAY OF THE YEAR, SEQUENCE NUMBER AND JCN SUFFIX.

C. VIDS BOARDS - (NON-NALCOMIS ACTIVITIES) THE VIDS BOARD PROVIDES A VISUAL DISPLAY OF ESSENTIAL INFORMATION, IN WORK, AWAITING MAINTENANCE (AWM), AND AWAITING PARTS (AWP), ON A CONTINUING BASIS, BY WORKCENTER, FOR EACH ASSINED AIRCRAFT.

D. NALCOMIS/VIDS/MAF FLOW (AS APPLICABLE) - BASICALLY THE SAME AS FOR REGULAR VIDS/MAF FLOW AT "O" OR "I" LEVEL EXCEPT THAT THE VIDS/MAFS ARE ALL COMPUTER GENERATED.

A. MAINTENANCE CONTROL ("O" LEVEL) - NON-NALCOMIS AFTER VIDS/MAF IS WRITTEN UP, MAINTENANCE CONTROL COMPLETES AND REVIEWS REQUIRED ENTRIES, PUTS PART 3 IN APPLICABLE VIDS BOARD COLUMN, FORWARDS COPY 2 TO QA/A. COPIES 1 AND 5 ARE SENT TO APPROPRIATE WORK CENTER. COPY 4 IS PLACED ON RIGHT SIDE OF ADB WHERE IT REMAINS AS LONG AS DISCREPANCY REMAINS OUTSTANDING. WHEN CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, MAINTENANCE CONTROL VERIFIES VIDS/MAF COPY 1 AND TRANSCRIBES APPLICABLE DATA TO COPIES 3 AND 4. COPY 3 IS PLACED ON LEFT SIDE OF ADB WHERE IT REMAINS FOR 10 SUBSEQUENT FLIGHTS. COPY 4 IS NOW REMOVED FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ADB AND FORWARDED TO QA FOR TREND ANALYSIS. COPY 1 IS FORWARDED TO DATA SERVICES FOR SUBMISSION. COPY 5 IS RETAINED BY WORKCENTER UNTIL DAILY AUDIT REPORT IS VERIFIED CORRECT.

E. DAILY AUDIT REPORT (DAR) - PRODUCED BY DATA SERVICES FACILITY OR ADP. REPORTED IN TWO PARTS. PART 1 IS VALID DATA. PART 2 IS INVALID DATA. DESIGNED FOR THE WORK CENTER SUPERVISOR TO VALIDATE THE PREVIOUS DAY'S VIDS/MAF COPY 1 SUBMISSIONS. ACTIVITIES VERIFY THE INPUT DATA AND CORRECT ERRORS.

F.

MDR SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MAINTENANCE AND MATERIAL MANAGERS WITH DATA RELATED TO DIRECT LABOR EXPENDITURE; EQUIPMENT, COMPONENT AND PART RELIABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY; AND TECHNICAL AND MISSION CONFIGURATION IN ACCOMPLISHING THE MAINTENANCE MISSION.

G. SUBSYSTEM CAPABILITY IMPACT REPORTING (SCIR) - DEGRADING OF EQUIPMENT MISSION CAPABILITY IS REPORTED BY RECORDING EQUIPMENT OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY (EOC) CODES ON THE VIDS/MAF. EOC CODES ARE DOCUMENTED WHEN A SPECIFIC SYSTEM OR SUBSYSTEM IMPACTS THE MISSION CAPABILITY OF THAT EQUIPMENT. SCIR PROVIDES DATA TO DETERMINE MISSION CAPABILITY, SYSTEM OR SUBSYSTEM RELI-ABILITY AND SERVES AS A MANAGEMENT TOOL. SCIR DATA MAY BE USED AT ANY LEVEL OF MANAGEMENT.

H. AIRCRAFT HISTORICAL FILES - COMPLETED AND PROCESSED VIDS/MAF COPY 1'S ARE TO BE RETAINED BY MAINTENANCE CONTROL FOR A MINIMUM OF SIX MONTHS FROM THE COMPLETED DATE. HISTORICAL FILE REQUIREMENTS ARE AIRCRAFT INSPECTION FILE, AIRCRAFT GENERAL FILE, TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE COMPLIANCE FILE, AND MISCELLANEOUS FILE.

J. AIRCRAFT DISCREPANCY BOOK (ADB) - PROVIDES CURRENT CHRONOLOGY OF FLIGHT AND MAINTENANCE DISCREPANCIES. THE LAST 10 FLIGHTS OF SIGNED MAFS ARE ON LEFT SIDE AND OUTSTANDING "GRIPES" ARE ON RIGHT SIDE. ADB MUST BE VALIDATED BEFORE RELEASING OF THE AIRCRAFT SAFE FOR FLIGHT. ALSO CONTAINS THE CURRENT DAILY AND TURNAROUND INSPECTIONS.

K. PHASE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES - A PHASED SYSTEM RUNS ON A SCHEDULE OF INSPECTIONS IN A CYCLE. IT REPEATS THE PROCESS UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT IS RETIRED FROM SERVICE. WHEN AN AIRCRAFT IS INDUCTED INTO A PHASE OR CALENDAR INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE CONTROL AND THE INSPECTION SUPERVISOR REMOVE ALL VIDS/MAFS, EXCEPT INSPECTION CONTROL DOCUMENT, FROM THE MAINTENANCE CONTROL VIDS BOARD, AND PLACE THEM ON THE INSPECTION WORK CENTER'S VIDS BOARD. WHEN MAINTENANCE CONTROL IS NOTIFIED THAT THE INSPECTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, IT WILL RETURN THE VIDS/MAF REGISTERS TO THE APPROPRIATE COLUMNS OF THE MAINTENANCE CONTROL VIDS BOARD AND INDICATE IF AN FCF IS REQUIRED.

L. CANNIBALIZATION - THE REMOVAL OF SERVICEABLE PARTS FROM ONE AIRCRAFT FOR INSTALLATION ON ANOTHER. ALL CANNIBALIZATION ACTIONS WILL BE AUTHORIZED, DIRECTED, AND TRACKED BY MAINTENANCE CONTROL.

M. NOT MISSION CAPABLE MAINTENANCE (NMCM) - MATERIAL CONDITION OF AN AIRCRAFT INDICATING THAT IT IS NOT CAPABLE OF PERFORMING ANY OF ITS MISSIONS BECAUSE OF "O" OR "I" LEVEL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. RECORDING OF NMCM TIME SHALL START WHEN IT IS FIRST KNOWN THAT THE CONDITION EXISTS, EXCEPT WHEN CAUSED BY INFLIGHT MALFUNCTION; THEN THE TIME WILL START AT THE TERMINATION OF THE FLIGHT. NMCM TIME SHALL STOP WHEN MAINTENANCE IS COMPLETED OR INTERRUPTED BY WORK STOPPAGE DUE TO SUPPLY SHORTAGE.

N. PARTIAL MISSION CAPABLE MAINTENANCE (PMCM) - MATERIAL CONDITION OF AN AIRCRAFT INDICATING IT CAN PERFORM AT LEAST ONE, BUT NOT ALL, OF ITS MISSIONS BECAUSE OF "O" OR "I" LEVEL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS EXISTING ON THE INOPERABLE SUBSYSTEM(S). RECORDING OF PMCM TIME SHALL START WHEN IT IS FIRST KNOWN THAT THE CONDITION EXISTS, EXCEPT WHEN CAUSED BY AN IN-FLIGHT MALFUNCTION; THEN THE TIME WILL START AT THE TERMINATION OF THE FLIGHT. PMCM TIME SHALL STOP WHEN MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED OR IS INTERRUPTED BY WORK STOPPAGE DUE TO SUPPLY SHORTAGE.

117.18 EXPLAIN HOW AN ACTIVITY REQUESTS AND IS AUTHORIZED SPECIAL INSPECTION DEVIATIONS/WAIVERS. (REF. A)

A. A PLUS OR MINUS 3 DAYS, OR A PORTION THEREOF, MAY BE APPLIED TO THE AUTHORIZED INSPECTION INTERVAL OF ALL INSPECTIONS, EXCEPT CALENDAR, WHICH ARE PERFORMED IN INCREMENTS OF CALENDAR DAYS. THE NEXT INSPECTION IS SCHEDULED AS IF NO DEVIATION OCCURRED.

B. A PLUS OR MINUS 10 PERCENT, OR A PORTION THEREOF, MAY APPLIED TO THE AUTHORIZED INSPECTION INTERVAL OF ALL OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, BASED ON FLIGHT HOURS, OPERATING HOURS, CYCLES, OR EVENTS. THE NEXT INSPECTION IS SCHEDULED AS IF NO DEVIATION HAD OCCURRED.

C. A PLUS OR MINUS ONE WEEK, OR A PORTION THEREOF, MAY BE APPLIED TO THE AUTHORIZED CALENDAR INSPECTION INTERVAL BY THE REPORTING CUSTODIAN TO MEET UNUSUAL SITUATIONS AND TO EASE WORKLOAD SCHEDULING. ADDITIONAL DAYS MAY BE ADDED TO PERMIT A ONE-TIME NON-OPERATIONAL FLIGHT TO THE HOME GROUNDING DISCREPANCY OF SUCH DURATION THAT THE CALENDAR INTERVAL EXPIRED. THE NEXT CALENDAR INSPECTION IS SCHEDULED AS IF NO DEVIATION HAD OCCURRED.

D. DEVIATIONS IN EXCESS OF THOSE DESCRIBED MAY BE REQUIRED DUE TO PRIORITY OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS, AIRCRAFT FERRY SCHEDULES, ETC. REPORTING CUSTODIANS SHALL REQUEST FROM ACC/ TYCOMS ALL DEVIATIONS IN EXCESS OF THE HIGH (+) LIMITS AUTHORIZED ABOVE.
