2 CENR 66-1 Vol XII 30 April 1984 e. The Det 407 Maintenance Control Supervisor will insure that at least one 302X1 is fully qualified tc sign off or clear Red X conditions on ARE equipment only. The training to clear the ARE Red X condition will be in coordination with the host base DCM. Any probiems main- taining qualification will be referred to the Chief of Maintenance, HQ/LGM for resolution. f. The officer-in-charge of a mobile exercise (Pony Express) or his designated represen- tative will report ARE equipment status IAW Chapter 2 when command maintenance technicians are not on location. 4, ARE Equipment Status. Equipment status is divided into three distinct categories. At any given time, the ARE equipment status will be defined as one of the following: a. Fully Mission Capable (FMC). All ARE units are operating normally. Technicians may perform maintenance or component replacement that will not cause mission delay. No condition exists to preclude the collection of a useable sample. Urgency Justification Code (UJC) BE (Priority 05) may be used to requisition parts for mission equipment in this status. b. Partially Mission Capable (PMC). Any ARE operating in a reduced capacity; e.g., pressure regulator or compressor failure, one U-l foil inoperative. Aircraft still able to perform assigned mission with sampling capabilities available only thru deviation from norma} operating procedures (to be determined by local operations officer or designated individual). UIC BE (Priority 05) will be used to requisition parts necessary for the restoration of equip- ment in this status. (Priority 02) UJC AE may be used to meet mission requirements (to be determined by local operations officer or designated individual). c. Non Mission Capable (NMC). Any ARE deficiency that prevents the aircraft from per- forming its assigned mission. UJC AE (Priority 02) will be used to requisition parts necessary for the resolution of equipment problems causing this status. S. Equipment Status Report (ESR): a. PMC and NMC conditions will be reported via an electrically transmitted Equipment Status Report (ESR). ESRs are divided into three categories (Initial, Follow-up, and Final) and are explained below. All sections of any ESR will be completed even if negative. All times will be ZULU times reported in Julian date time groups, i.e., 188/1320Z. Equipment malfunctions within an FMC will be reported via the ESR whenever parts are ordered using UJC BE to restore mission equipment to normal operation. Anytime UJC AE or BE is used, an £SR or follow-up ESR containing the document number, stock/part number, TQ reference, noun, and UJC must be submitted. (NOTE: HQ/LGS and Parent Unit/LGS must be info addressees on UJC AE/BE parts requests.) b. Equipment Status Reports will be submitted on all of the following ARE equipment: {1) U-1 Foil. (2) Pressure System. (3) B/400-A. (4) 0-500/0-500A. (5) FI-2 Foil. (6) ARE Console. (7) Sea Water Sampler. (8) SABRE. (9) F-52 POD, 6. Initial Equipment Status Report: a. An initial ESR will be submitted anytime ARE parts are ordered using UJC BE within an FMC condition. An initial ESR will also be submitted for PMC or NMC conditions when either one of the following conditions exist: (i) The time of return to operation will exceed 12 hours. (2) Gelay cf mission requirements.
CENR 66-1 Vol XII 30 April 1984 3 b. The initial ESR will be submitted, in the following format, via PRIORITY precedence message to the Parent Unit with a ROUTINE info copy to HQ and Depot. FROM: APPLICABLE LOCATION TO: PARENT UNIT//LGM// {NFO: HQ//LGM/NOR/LGS// DEPOT//LGE// APPROPRIATE CLASSIFICATION SUBJ: ARE EQUIPMENT STATUS REPORT - JCN (reference T0-00-20-2-2) A. FMC, PMC OR NMC. B. EQUIPMENT (I.E. UL Foil, Pressure System) C. JULIAN DATE/TIME OF MALFUNCTION. DO. TIME IN COMMISSION (TIC) OR ESTIMATED TIME IN COMMISION (ETIC) (SPECIFY TIC OR ETIC). For FMC ESRs base ETIC on latest information from L&S. E. SPECIFIC ITEM OF EQUIPMENT THAT FAILED AND FULL EXPLANATION OF MALFUNCTION. F. CONCISE DESCRIPTION GF ALL CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AND/OR PLANNED. IF THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AND/OR ADGITIONAL ASSISTANCE OR PARTS ARE REQUIRED, THE REPORT WILL ALWAYS BE SENT ASAP. G. REMARKS (INCLUDING ANY ASSISTANCE REQUIRED). 7. Follow-up Equipment Status Report: a. The follow-up ESR will be used to update a continuing equipment problem for which corrective action may be delayed for any number of reasons. [n most cases, the follow-up &SR will be submitted to provide an updated ETIC; to report major changes in the maintenance posture such as parts requisitions, failure of additional equipment, progress in repair efforts, depar- ture of the aircraft to another location, etc.; or to report any pertintent information not available at the time of the initial ESR. b. When an ETIC cannot be met, a follow-up ESR will be transmitted in sufficient time to arrive at the HQ upon or before the ETIC expiration date, explaining the delay and updating the ETIC. c. The follow-up ESR will be transmitted via ROUTINE precedence message to the same addresses as the initial report. The JCN from the initial ESR will be used in the subject line.

Maintenance Data Collection: a. The AFTO Form 349, Maintenance Data Collection Record, will be used to document main- tenance data on all ARE equipment. Data documented will describe maintenance on any: (1) nd item of ARE equipment categorized as "on equipment". (2) Assemblies, subassemblies, or components removed from end items of equipment cate- gorized as “off equipment". The AFTO Form 349 will be completed IAW TO 00-20-series except block 2 (work center) and block L (CMD ACT ID) will be left blank. Work unit codes are listed in the applicable aircraft -06 technical order. Det 407 will consolidate their AFTO Form 349s and forward them NLT the 15th of each month to Depot/LGMMA with a copy to Squadron/LGM. b. Depot/LG, upon receipt of Det 407s AFTO Form 349s, will complete blocks 2 and L. The completed forms will then be sent to Sacramento ALC for precessing. Copies of the report, when received will be distributed by Depot/LGE to Headquarters/LGM, 1156 TCHOS/LGM and Det 407. OFFICIAL 1 Attachment Monthly Sphere Inventory SUMMARY OF CHANGES Establishes the requirement for ARE Equipment Status Reporting (ESR). Adds option for Det 407 ARE augmentee support to be requested from Depot/LG. Requires monthly sphere inventory. Requires Net 407 maintain a qualified technician to clear Red X conditions on ARE equipment. Tasks officer-in-charge or his representative report ARE equipment status during (Pony Express) exercises when command technicians are not present.
