The document outlines detailed procedures for the drop-off and pick-up of the HH-60W aircraft at a depot facility, particularly focusing on unit requirements for aircraft maintenance and transfer. Key pre-arrival tasks include familiarization with maintenance specifications, submission of AFTO Form 103, documentation of discrepancies, and ensuring all technical modifications or inspections are current. It emphasizes the necessity for thorough record-keeping, correcting operational issues, and preparing logbooks before the aircraft departs for the depot.
Upon arrival, the unit crew must review aircraft discrepancies and component histories alongside depot personnel, ensuring completeness in records and inventories. For aircraft pick-up, a similar examination of the NBNC report and logbooks occurs, ensuring all discrepancies are noted and addressed. The gaining custodian is responsible for performing acceptance inspections and functional checks, alongside arranging necessary configurations for airlift if required.
This comprehensive structure is designed to guarantee that aircraft maintenance adheres to technical standards while facilitating smooth transfers. The procedures underscore the importance of compliance with defined maintenance protocols, supporting the operational efficiency of military aircraft systems in alignment with federal guidelines.
