Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP) exam study guide questions fully solved & updated 2024

What is Maintenance Department/Division Safety? QA is assigned overall responsibility for Maintenance Department safety; however the intent is not to conflict with any portion of the activity's overall safety program but to assist in coordination of the total safety effort. QA's duties within the departmental/divisional safety scope are to disseminate safety posters/literature, report all hazards/mishaps/ unsafe practices within the department, conduct safety meetings at least monthly, and to coordinate with the Aviation Safety Officer. What is Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL)? It provides a central source of up-to-date information for use by all personnel in the performance of their work, and it is an excellent source of reference information to facilitate personnel training and individual improvement. What is Quality Assurance Audit Program? An assessment of the effectiveness of programs managed within the Maintenance Department. Audits serve as an orderly method of identifying, investigating, and correcting deficiencies on a scheduled and unscheduled basis. What are the three types of audits that QA performs? Special. Conducted to evaluate specific maintenance tasks, processes, procedures and programs. They may be requested by the work center at any time or when a new work center supervisor is assigned. Copies of audits are held for one year. * Workcenter. Conducted semi-annually to evaluate the overall quality performance of each work center. All areas of the work center are evaluated including personnel, monitored and managed programs, logs and records, licenses, etc.. * Program audits. evaluate specific programs, providing a systematic and coordinated method of identifying deficiencies and determining adequacy of and adherence to technical publications and instructions. QA shall audit the programs, at a minimum, annually. What's the objective of the NAMP? To achieve and continually improve aviation material readiness and safety standards established by the CNO/COMNAVAIRFOR, with coordination from the CMC, with optimum use of manpower, material, facilities, and funds. The Chief of Naval Operations is in charge of the NAMP. Who is the Maintenance Officer (MO)? LTCMD WHITLEY. Head of the Maintenance Department, the MO manages the department and is responsible to the CO for the accomplishment of the department's mission. Who is the Assistant Maintenance Officer (AMO)? LTCMD GRIBBINS. Assistant head of the maintenance department. The AMO shall assist the MO in the performance of duties and keep the MO fully informed of matters concerning the department. Additionally the AMO coordinates temporary assigned duty personnel, inspects spaces, acts as the administrative officer in their absence, liaisons with the Operations department, manages the SE training and licensing program, utilize NTMPS/FLTMPS for manpower management and additional duties as defined in the NAMSOPS. Who is the Maintenance/Material Control Officer (MMCO)? LT MADERA. Responsible for the overall production and material support of the department. The MMCO coordinates and monitors the department workload while maintaining liaison with supporting activities and the Supply Department to ensure requirements and workload are known and satisfied. Additionally the MMCO is responsible for preparing and publishing the MMP. Who is the Maintenance Master Chief Petty Officer (MMCPO)? MMCPO PARKER. Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Maintenance Department, reports to the MO and advises the CO in all matters affecting aircraft operations, aircraft maintenance, and department personnel. The MMCPO directs all maintenance in an operational unit on a day-to-day basis in support of its operations and assigned missions. The MMCPO's charter is to maintain assigned aircraft and aeronautical equipment 27 in an RFT status while providing training for those in the Maintenance Department to improve the maintenance process. Who is the Quality Assurance Officer (QAO)? LT SCHREINER. Ensures personnel assigned to perform QA functions receive continuous training in inspecting, testing, and quality control methods specifically applicable to their area of assignment. The QAO will also ensure QARs receive cross training to perform those QA functions not in their assigned area. This training should include local training courses, OJT, rotation of assignments, PQSs, and formal schools. Who is the Material Control Officer (MCO)? WO KING. Supply corps officers assigned to a deployable squadron will be assigned as the MCO for the handling of finances, material requisition etc. What are the two types of maintenance described in the NAMP? Rework and Upkeep. What is Rework? The restorative or additive work performed on aircraft, aircraft equipment, and aircraft SE at FRCs, contractors' plants, and such other industrial establishments designated by TYCOMs. What is Upkeep? The preventive, restorative, or additive work performed on aircraft, equipment, and SE by operating units and aircraft SE activities. What are the many different inspections that fall into upkeep inspections/maintenance category? * Turnaround - Conducted between flights to ensure the integrity of the aircraft for flight, verifies proper servicing, and detects degradation that may have occurred during the previous flight. Good for 24 hours, provided that no flight occurs during this period and no maintenance other than servicing was performed. * Daily - Conducted to inspect for defects to a greater depth than the turnaround inspection. It is valid for 72 hours without flight or major maintenance and the aircraft can be flown for 24 hours before another daily is needed as long as it does not surpass the 72 hour time limit. * Special - This inspection is a scheduled inspection with a prescribed interval other than daily or phase. The intervals can be: calendar time, flight hours, operating hours, or number of cycles or events. * Conditional - Requirements are unscheduled events required as the result of a specific overlimit condition, or as a result of circumstances or events which create an administrative requirement for an inspection. * Phase - This inspection divides the total scheduled maintenance requirement into smaller packages, or phases of the same work content. These are done sequentially and at specified intervals. * Acceptance - Performed at the time a reporting custodian accepts a newly assigned aircraft or support equipment from any source and on return of an aircraft from SDLM or other major depot level maintenance. * Transfer - Performed at the time a reporting custodian transfers an aircraft or support equipment What type of rework maintenance is performed? Reliability centered maintenance (RCM). A process to ensure that assets continue to do what their users require in their present operating context. The military adopted the RCM from the commercial aviation industry in the mid-1970s. As a result we now have different types of rework maintenance modeled after the RCM concept such as the Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) and Periodic Maintenance Interval (PMI). What is Monthly Maintenance Plan (MMP)? Provides scheduled control of the predictable maintenance workload, for example, inspections, transfer or receipt of aircraft, and compliance with TDs. By scheduling predictable maintenance, the capability for accomplishing unscheduled work can be determined. In addition, requirements for SE, material, manpower, and other factors affecting the maintenance operation can be determined in advance of actual need. It is prepared and distributed by the 25th of each month at the O-level and the 1st of each month at I-level. What's the Aircraft Logbook? It's a hard bound record of equipment, inspections, scheduled removal items, and installed equipment. Each aircraft logbook shall have a record of rework, major repairs, flight and operational data; also included in the logbook is a record of maintenance directives affecting the aircraft, its components, and accessories. What are the different sections of the Logbook? Non-aging record, Flight time, Inspection records, Repair/Rework, Technical Directive, Miscellaneous History, Preservation and De-preservation record, Installed Explosive Devices, Inventory Record, Assembly Service Record, Equipment History Record, Scheduled Removal Components cards (SRCs), Aviation Life Support System records, and Aeronautical Equipment Service Records (AESRs). What's the primary goal of Maintenance? Take action to retain material in a serviceable condition or to restore it to serviceability". When combined, maintenance management can be defined as "the actions necessary to retain or restore material or equipment to a serviceable condition with a minimum expenditure of resources".
