Corrosion Control Inspection — what QA looks for

dule aircraft washes through Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) or by other automated means. 3.3.6. Ensures Quality Assurance (QA) adequately evaluates corrosion control programs through inspection and maintenance follow-up evaluations. 3.3.6.1. Ensures QA evaluates a minimum of 10% of all aircraft washes. 3.3.7. Appoints by letter, a Wing Corrosion Program Manager to ensure all facets of corrosion prevention are being conducted throughout the wing. 3.4. Wing Corrosion Program Manager Responsibilities. 3.4.1. The Wing Corrosion Manager will be a 2A773, 2A775, 2A790, or civilian equivalent. 3.4.1.1. Upon appointment, the Wing Corrosion Manager will accomplish training as prescribed in AFI 36-2650. 3.4.2. The Wing Corrosion Program Manager serves as the wing focal point for all aircra

(QA) Responsibilities. 3.12.1. Evaluate at least 10% of all aircraft washes and at least 10% of all AGE washes for compliance with applicable technical data. 3.12.2. Evaluate the quality of 10% of all aircraft and equipment corrosion inspections. 3.12.3. Periodically review wash rack cleaning agents for QPL/QPD compliance. 3.12.4. Coordinate with the Wing Corrosion Manager to ensure an acceptance inspection is accomplished on all depots, Global Reach Improvement Program, and/or other off station paints upon return to home station. (T-2) 3.12.5. Ensure PPE is serviceable and properly utilized. 3.12.6. Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for aircraft washes will evaluate at least 10% of all aircraft washes. COR should maintain a file of discrepancies for consideration during contract r

the-shoulder evaluation of a maintenance action, inspection, training session, or QA evaluation. Individuals performing, supervising, training, or evaluating maintenance tasks are subject to a PE. PE Evaluators will not assess ancillary discrepancies found during PEs, such as an improperly etched tool, against the evaluation unless it directly contributes to improper task completion (e.g., overdue torque wrench utilized to attach hardware). (T-1) PE Evaluators will ensure ancillary discrepancies noted during the evaluation will be assessed in a separate Special Inspection on the affected item or program. (T-1) 7.4.1.1. Evaluator Proficiency Evaluation (EPE). The QA OIC/SUPT or Chief Inspector, by virtue of their position, are qualified to perform EPEs on QA inspectors per Table 7.5. The QA

inspection of 100-percent of weapons removed from extended storage/preferred packaging before units return the weapons to extended storage packaging. (T-2) Owning units will ensure all weapons are cleaned and lubricated prior to the CATM inspection and before they return the weapons to extended storage packaging. (T-2) The 100-percent CATM inspection includes a visual inspection for corrosion, damaged or worn or missing parts, unauthorized accessories and modifications, function check and proper cleaning and lubrication. CATM should pay particular attention to proper lubrication of the weapons to prevent corrosion during extended storage. All personnel, including CATM that handle weapons must wear lint- free, clean gloves to prevent contamination of the weapons prior to being repacked. (T

completion date for the “look” portion of the inspection only. This requires each ISO schedule to clearly identify “Look” and “Fix” portions of the inspection when publishing the weekly/daily schedule. Special inspections identified on an AF Form 2410 and scheduled for completion during an Isochronal Inspection, Home Station Check or A-Check will not be utilized in the MSE rate, only the ISO/HSC/A-check will count. This does not eliminate the responsibility for PS&D to track the special inspections to ensure timely completion during the ISO/HSC/A-check. 14.5.6.9.1.1. (Added-AMC) Scheduled look phase times will be determined by Weapon Systems Managers, if applicable, in Table 14.1. Look phase is defined for status reporting only and does not indicate that all scheduled inspection items are

fication proposals, Deficiency Reports (DRs), AFTO Form 22s, instructions and supplements. (T-2) 4.5.4. Provide training/instruction as applicable to address deficiencies identified during evaluations/inspections. (T-2) 4.5.5. Evaluate maintenance documentation and Site Jacket Files annually, in coordination with PSD&A. (T-2). ACCI21-1709 31 AUGUST 2023 29 4.6. QA Representative (QAR) Responsibilities. QARs are appointed by the QA Superintendent to perform inspections and evaluations at geographically separated locations. 4.7. QA Inspector Training. As a minimum, the local QA Inspector Training Plan will include the applicable items listed below to ensure QA program standardization. 4.7.1. Training must cover inspection and evaluation techniques, documenting inspection worksheets and actio

n Program (MSEP). QA shall assess unit compliance and look for areas to improve unit performance. (T-1). The program is established in a manner that assists QA inspectors in readily identifying and tracking all minimum inspection and evaluation. QA will review and update the plan quarterly in association with maintenance managers. (T-1). QA will ensure this plan includes applicable requirements from Table 7.3, Table 7.4, and Table 7.5. (T-1). When developing the plan, QA will:50 AFMAN21-200 9 AUGUST 2018 7.3.1. Address areas of concern identified by maintenance managers. (T-1). 7.3.2.
