4. CAP Acft MX CFT
Charter
Examine all facets of the CAP Aircraft Maintenance process and come up with a plan to increase aircraft availability and decrease maintenance costs

5. CAP Acft MX CFT Findings
No standardized aircraft maintenance processes and procedures across CAP
No standardized AMO training and AMO roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined

6. CAP Acft MX CFT
Solutions
AMO Guide

7. CAP Acft MX CFT
Solutions
AMO Specialty Track

8. CAP Acft MX CFT Findings
No system to accurately track, forecast or alert AMOs/LG staff of approaching time-change items, AD compliance or critical software updates
No system to accurately capture and report real-time aircraft status
WMIRS aircraft discrepancy information, condition data and closeout information is not accurate or up-to-date and does not reflect the true condition of the aircraft

9. AMRAD is the CAP’s new Aircraft Maintenance Repair and Documentation System. It takes the place of most of the functions that were in the WMIRS Maintenance Module. It allows new aircraft discrepancies to be entered, transmits them to the AMO for validation and facilitates the flight release process. It allows Aircraft Mx requests to be processed through to NHQ for approval and parts to be ordered, all in one location. It is designed to provide real-time visibility to aircraft status, open and closed discrepancies, maintenance & inspection data, maintenance and repair requests, parts order status and parts tracking

12. Enter New Discrepancy

13. Enter New Discrepancy

14. When a new discrepancy is created for an aircraft assigned to your wing the AMO will see a notification on their AMRAD home screen under the Work Items tab showing “Open Discrepancies” The number in parentheses indicates how many discrepancies are open that have not been validated or processed by the AMO.

16. Enter New Discrepancy

17. AMRAD has enhanced search and report capabilities to allow you to see the data you need, exactly the way you want to see it

22. CAP Acft MX CFT Findings
The CAP aircraft parts process is not standardized, does not have the capacity to handle the volume of parts needed by the field in a timely manner, lacks redundancy and does not have a system to track parts orders, cores, credits, invoices and provide parts order status and visibility to our internal and external customers

23. Parts Order Report

24. CAP Acft MX CFT Findings
CAP policy requiring AMOs and shops to contact NHQ for approval to proceed with repairs; creates unnecessary delays
CAP procurement policy negatively impacts mission capable rates by establishing administrative approval levels in excess of the federal requirements

25. CAPR 66-1 ICL 18-04
Increased the spending limit for AMOs from $200 to $500 for Acft repairs

26. CAP NHQ Procurement OI
Changed OI to streamline Purchase Order approval process, reduced approval time to 1 day

27. ADS-B Update
ADS-B Mandate
1 January 2020

28. Aircraft Status Aircraft Fleet Total in Inventory 563
  Pending retirement               21
  Refurb Program                       3
  Extensive MX                           4
  Available for missions        535

29. ADS-B Update Remaining 40
ADS-B Status as of 8/1/ Total Installations 495
  Remaining   40   

30. Flight ID

31. Flight ID
Call Sign Mismatch
FAA is reporting a large number of naming errors associated with ADS-B Out
Call sign mismatches (CSMM) occur when the aircraft identification on the flight plan does not exactly match the ADS-B transmitted identification

32. Flight ID Call Sign Mismatch
For GA aircraft it is normally the tail number
CAP uses special call signs that enable priority handling by ATC
After a test flight in airspace with ADS-B rules request a performance report
FAA’s Public ADS-B Performance Report Request (PAPR) service.

33. FY19 Aircraft Buy 2 - T206H 5 - 182T 11 -172S Equipped with G1000 NXI
and ADS-B In and Out

34. Aircraft Refurbishment
CAP has contracted with Fresh Aircraft Sales to accomplish aircraft refurbs for us
We will take delivery of the first aircraft next week
They have come in on-budget and delivered the aircraft a month ahead of schedule
We expect to refurbish 4-6 aircraft per year

35. End-of-Year Maintenance
We want to be proactive in closing out our financial records, deobligating POs and paying FY 19 invoices
As we approach the end of the FY we will only approve maintenance to support essential/emergency mission aircraft
AMOs should contact NHQ/LGM for prior approval of ALL acft maintenance activities
