Ensure TMDE shipped off base for calibration or repair and return is shipped by traceable means and IAW DAFI 24-602V2. 8.4.8.1. The TMDE Monitor will maintain a file consisting of all supporting documentation for each type of shipment. (T-3) 8.4.8.2. Safeguard any IUID marks during calibration/TMDE activities to the extent possible. In the event the UII is damaged during calibration activities, the TMDE Monitor will notify the responsible Equipment Custodian and/or EAE to replace the mark with the same UII. (T-3) 8.4.9. For deployment purposes, ensure equipment, tools, and HAZMAT items are properly identified, prepa

Test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) used to make or verify meaningful (quantifiable) measurements will be calibrated Technical Order (TO) 33K-1-100- 1, Calibration Procedure for Maintenance Data Collection Codes and Calibration Measurement Summaries; TO 33K-1-100-2-1, PMEL Only - TMDE Calibration Notes, Calibration Interval, Technical Order and Work Unit Code Reference Guide. 1.1.2. The AFMETCAL Program’s primary mission is to support calibration activities to maintain, calibrate, and certify TMDE for the AF, other services, federal agencies, and countries supported through Foreign Military Sales. The AF calibration activities provide organizational, intermediate, depot-level regional maintenance and calibration supporting aircraft, maintenance back shops, pr

Note: Aircraft and equipment TOs may dictate additional restrictions. 8.4. TMDE Management Guidelines. Support Sections will designate a TMDE Monitor who will act as the focal point with the designated servicing PMEL (whether on-base or off-base) for managing the TMDE calibrations requirements for the owning work center. (T-3) The TMDE Monitor will: 8.4.1. Establish procedures for turn-in and pick-up of TMDE requiring calibration. (T-3) 8.4.2. Coordinate emergency calibration requirements. (T-3) 8.4.3. Review quarterly TMDE schedules and annual master identification (ID) lists within 5 duty days of receipt from servicing PMEL.

(T-2) 2.16.4. Ensure Rapid Assistance Support for Calibration, Jet Engine Test Stand Calibrator, Portable Automatic Test Equipment Calibrator, and Transportable Field Calibration Unit are maintained as complete sets and available for immediate peacetime or wartime deployment. (T-2) 2.16.5. Ensure technicians who certify TMDE are qualified, trained, and proficient to do so. (T-2) 2.16.5.1. Submit annual calls and “out of cycle” requests for technical training course quotas through the MFM, as needed. Request Mobile Training Team, PMEL subject matter expert, or AFMETCAL assistance through the

These instructions apply to the movement of TMDE items, commonly referred to as Precision Measurement Equipment (PME), to an off-base support PMEL, to include Air Force Metrology Calibration Detachment when calibration, repair and return of the same items are required (TO 00-20-14, Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program). 4.3.11.6.2. Non-DLMS EDI Shipments of TMDE/PME are not to be processed through supply channels. 4.3.11.6.3. In certain circumstances, shippers may have an official need to move DoD materiel outside of normal DLMS EDI procedures. In those situations, the shipper provides authority for movement and is responsible for the integrity of the shipment. 4.3.11.6.4. All non-DLMS EDI shipment requests will be t

(T-2) If teams are used for other maintenance, plan for teams to work lower priority maintenance that can be easily stopped if priority 1 maintenance is required. 5.8. Stop-Use Procedures. When equipment or vehicle conditions are discovered that pose significant risk to personal injury or equipment damage, units may direct stop-use until investigated and resolved. MAJCOMs will publish procedural guidance. (T-1) 5.9. Calibration Limitation Approval Certification Program. A limited TMDE calibration could seriously impact mission capability of weapon systems. All units will have a comprehensive training program to ensure authorized personnel can interpret TMDE calibration limitations to the specified requir

cribed by HQ SpOC/S4X. (T-2) 3.9.3. Maintenance Indicator Reports will be submitted with the metric inputs in the format prescribed by HQ SpOC/S4X. (T-2) 3.10. Test Measuring and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) 3.10.1. The CoM shall ensure TMDE management is accomplished IAW AFMAN 21-113, Air Force Metrology and Calibration (AFMETCAL) Management, T.O. 00-20-14 and T.O. 33- 1-27, Logistic Support of Precision Measurement Equipment. (T-2) 3.10.2. Ensure maintenance work centers possessing TMDE comply with the requirements detailed in T.O. 00-20-14 and have TMDE calibrated IAW published calibration schedules, T.O. 33K-1-100-1, Calibration Procedure for Maintenance Data Collection Codes and Calibration Measurement Summaries, T.O. 33K-1-100-2, TMDE Calibration Interval, Technical Order and Work Uni
