CDC 2AX7X Vol 2 Section 4

During "Red Ball" maintenance, having a quick reference list (QRL) available is important because it helps in reducing the time needed to research parts. This means that expediters can quickly access the necessary information about the parts they need without having to spend a lot of time searching for it. This improves efficiency and allows for faster decision-making and action, ultimately leading to a more streamlined maintenance process.

Personnel should normally be assigned to a unit for at least 6 months before being selected as Quality Assurance (QA) inspectors. This time period allows them to gain sufficient experience and knowledge about the unit's operations and processes, which is essential for effectively carrying out QA inspections. Assigning personnel for a shorter duration may not provide them with enough exposure and understanding of the unit's functioning, potentially leading to inadequate QA inspections. On the other hand, assigning personnel for a longer duration may not be necessary and could delay the selection process. Therefore, 6 months is the optimal duration for personnel to be assigned before becoming QA inspectors.

The Maintenance Flight is the office of primary responsibility (OPR) for the maintenance group's Crashed, Damaged, or Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) Program operating instructions. This means that the Maintenance Flight is responsible for developing and maintaining the guidelines and procedures for recovering aircraft that have crashed, been damaged, or disabled. They are the main point of contact for any issues or questions related to the CDDAR Program operating instructions within the maintenance group.

"Red Ball" maintenance refers to a situation that requires immediate attention and action. It involves having a sense of urgency, following specific local procedures, and taking priority actions to address the issue. However, it does not require an approved maintenance group (MXG) technical order (TO) compliance waiver, as this waiver is not directly related to the urgency or priority of the maintenance task.

The Wing foreign object damage (FOD) monitor is normally located within the Quality Assurance section. This is because the Quality Assurance section is responsible for ensuring that all maintenance procedures and operations are carried out according to the highest standards. The FOD monitor is an important tool in identifying and preventing foreign object damage to aircraft, so it makes sense for it to be located within the Quality Assurance section, where it can be properly monitored and managed.

A maintenance recovery team member is allowed to work for a maximum of 16 hours before being given 8 hours of uninterrupted rest. This includes their duty time at their home station, travel time, and duty at the recovery site upon arrival. It is important to ensure that team members receive adequate rest to prevent fatigue and maintain their performance and safety.

Crashed, Damaged, or Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) Team members must receive additional academic and hands-on training on an annual basis. This ensures that they stay updated with the latest techniques and procedures related to their role in recovering and handling crashed, damaged, or disabled aircraft. Regular training helps maintain their skills and knowledge, enabling them to effectively carry out their responsibilities and respond to any emergency situations that may arise.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is not a member of the Joint Council on Aging Aircraft (JCAA). The JCAA is an organization that focuses on the safety and maintenance of aging aircraft, particularly military aircraft. The US Army and US Air Force are both members of the JCAA as they operate aging aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is also a member as it plays a role in regulating and overseeing aviation safety. However, the NTSB is not directly involved in the maintenance and safety of aging aircraft, so it is not a member of the JCAA.

The Plans, Scheduling, and Documentation section is responsible for ensuring that Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) equipped aircraft are correctly identified in the weekly schedules. This section is in charge of planning and scheduling maintenance activities, and it is crucial for them to accurately document the ASIP status of each aircraft to ensure proper maintenance and structural integrity.

An equipment identification designator (EID) code is used to identify tools and equipment. The question asks how many digits make up this code. The correct answer is 9. This means that the EID code consists of 9 digits.

After a technician completes a task, a Quality Verification Inspection is performed by the Maintenance Standardization and Evaluation Team (MSET) individual. This assessment ensures that the completed task meets the required quality standards and specifications. It is a thorough evaluation to verify that the work has been done correctly and to the expected level of quality. This inspection helps to maintain consistency and ensure that all tasks are performed to the highest standards.

The Quality Assurance (QA) Chief Inspector is directly responsible to the Quality Assurance (QA) Officer In Charge (OIC)/Superintendent (SUPT) for ensuring the required Maintenance Standardization and Evaluation Program (MESP) functions are performed. This means that the QA Chief Inspector reports directly to the QA OIC/SUPT and is accountable for overseeing the MESP activities to ensure compliance with maintenance standards and evaluation procedures.

The correct answer is 24. The wing foreign object damage (FOD) monitor is responsible for notifying the MAJCOM FOD manager within 24 hours of a FOD incident. This is important because it allows the FOD manager to assess the situation, take appropriate action, and minimize the risk of further damage or accidents caused by foreign objects on the wing.

AFI 21-101, Aircraft Equipment Maintenance Management, provides general guidance for executing an effective maintenance recovery operation. This publication specifically focuses on the management of aircraft equipment maintenance and provides instructions and procedures for maintaining and recovering aircraft. It covers topics such as maintenance planning, scheduling, and execution, as well as maintenance documentation and reporting. Therefore, it is the most appropriate publication for guidance on executing a maintenance recovery operation.

In order for a foreign object damage (FOD) incident to be used to calculate the FOD rate for a unit, the dollar amount of damage must exceed $20,000.

A Major finding in the Maintenance Standardization and Evaluation Team (MSET) individual assessment refers to a condition that poses a significant risk to personnel safety or equipment integrity. This finding indicates a serious issue that needs immediate attention and corrective action to prevent any potential harm or damage.

The Team Chief for the Crashed, Damaged, or Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) Program must conduct a CDDAR exercise once every year. This exercise helps the team to practice and evaluate their skills and procedures in recovering crashed, damaged, or disabled aircraft. Conducting the exercise annually ensures that the team remains prepared and proficient in their roles and responsibilities. It also allows for any necessary updates or improvements to be made to the recovery program based on the exercise outcomes.

AF Electronic Publishing (AF e-Publishing) is the correct answer because it is the portal link that provides access to recurring AF periodicals like Airman Magazine and the Air & Space Journal. The other options, Advanced Distributed Learning Service (ADLS), AF Information Technology E-Learning (AF IT E-Learning), and AF Center of Excellence for Knowledge Management (AFKM), do not specifically mention access to periodicals and are therefore not the correct answer.

The Maintenance Group Commander (MXG/CC) is responsible for the development of wing procedures for control and management of tools/equipment used on the flight line and in aerospace maintenance industrial areas. As the commander of the maintenance group, they have the authority and oversight to ensure that proper procedures are in place to effectively manage and control tools and equipment in these areas. The MXG/CC is responsible for the overall maintenance operations and plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of maintenance activities.

When calibrating navigational equipment, an external power unit is attached while towing an aircraft during compass rose operations. The compass rose is a designated area on an airport where aircraft can be towed in a circular pattern to calibrate and align their compasses. By attaching an external power unit to the aircraft during this operation, it ensures that the aircraft's navigational equipment receives a stable power supply for accurate calibration.

The MXG Commander appoints an officer or NCO as the maintenance group (MXG) Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) project officer. This individual is responsible for overseeing the ASIP project within the MXG, ensuring the structural integrity of aircraft is maintained and any necessary repairs or modifications are carried out. The MXG Commander has the authority to select and assign personnel to various positions within the MXG, including project officers, to ensure the smooth functioning of the unit.

The time-frame used for determining whether an item that falls off an aircraft is considered a reportable dropped object is from engine start to engine shut down. This means that any item that falls off the aircraft during this period must be reported.

The Plans, Scheduling, and Documentations (PS&D) department is the CANN authority to notify when a serially controlled item is cannibalized. PS&D is responsible for managing and coordinating the maintenance and repair schedules, as well as documenting all maintenance activities. They have the necessary information and authority to handle the cannibalization process and ensure that all necessary steps are taken to address the issue.

The extended cannibalization cycle refers to a maintenance strategy where parts from one aircraft are used to repair another aircraft. In this case, the standard time frame for having an aircraft down is 45-60 days. This means that it takes approximately 45-60 days to complete the necessary repairs and maintenance on the aircraft before it can be put back into service.

The correct answer is Operations Officer or Maintenance Superintendent (MX SUPT). This is because without a waiver, only individuals who hold a position of Operations Officer or Maintenance Superintendent have the authority to clear a red X for a lost tool that has not been found. The other options mentioned in the question, such as Flight or Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU) Commander (CC), Flight or AMU Chief, and Squadron Commander (CC), do not have the necessary authority to clear the red X without a waiver.

Radiographic inspections accomplished outside the Non Destructive Inspection Laboratory are classified as unshielded. This means that there is no protective shielding or barriers in place to contain or minimize the radiation exposure during the inspection process. This classification is considered unacceptable as it poses a risk to the safety of individuals nearby who may be exposed to the radiation.

Support personnel must conduct and document a maintenance group commander (MXG/CC) standardized inspection of all support section tools and equipment annually. This means that they need to perform this inspection once every year. This ensures that the tools and equipment are in good working condition and meet the required standards. Conducting this inspection regularly helps to identify any maintenance or repair needs and ensures the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the support section.

The third character "J" in the equipment identification designator (EID) code U6JG00001 identifies the unit.

The Wing Weapons Manager is responsible for coordinating the number of certified load crew team members in support of aircraft generation planning. This role involves ensuring that the required number of qualified personnel are available to perform the necessary tasks related to loading and unloading aircraft munitions. The Wing Weapons Manager works closely with the Maintenance Squadron (MXS) Operations Officer, MXS production superintendent, and Munitions Leadership to ensure efficient and effective operations.

When a dropped object causes casualties or property damage, it must be reported according to AFI 10-206, Operational Reporting. This regulation likely outlines the procedures and requirements for reporting incidents that occur during operations. It ensures that proper documentation is maintained and appropriate actions can be taken to address any issues or prevent similar incidents in the future.

The AF Center for Electronic Distribution of Systems (AFCEDS) is the correct answer because it is the most relevant option for accessing user manuals for various AF computer systems. AFCEDS is specifically designed to distribute electronic systems and information, making it the most likely source for user manuals. The other options, such as AEF Online, AF IT E-Learning, and AFKM, do not specifically mention user manuals or electronic distribution of systems.

The correct answer is "Aircraft generation actions" because when you are primarily concerned with answering the question "What steps need to be taken?", you are focusing on the actions that need to be performed in the aircraft generation planning area. This implies that you are more concerned with the specific tasks or actions that need to be carried out rather than the timing or sequence of those actions.

The correct answer is "Aircraft generation action timing." This option specifically refers to the timing of each step or group of steps in the aircraft generation process. It focuses on the time it takes for the actions involved in generating aircraft to be completed. This is the most relevant choice for someone primarily concerned with understanding how long each step takes in the aircraft generation planning area.
