d. Inspection intervals
Ref (g) NA 01-1A-509, Aircraft Weapons Systems Cleaning and C/C
The minimum frequency and extent of these inspections are established by the aircraft programs of the parent service organizations. However, during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance actions on aviation equipment or components, the area involved as well as those within 3 feet or 36 inches (18 inches on each side) of the repair or treatment area shall be visually inspected for corrosion. Additional inspections may be necessary in areas which are particularly prone to corrode, such as magnesium gear boxes, wheel and flap wells, and bilge areas. Areas which are corrosion prone are discussed in Section II of this chapter. GENERAL INSPECTIONS. A general inspection of aviation equipment or components is performed as follows: a. Clean the area thoroughly (as described in Chapter 2) or, for water sensitive areas, wipe the area with a clean cloth dampened with an approved solvent. CAUTION
Prior to removing any access covers or panels primed with TT-P-2760 flexible primer, score the sealant at the edges of the cover/panel with a sharp plastic tool to prevent fraying the paint finish when the panel is removed. b. If corrosion is suspected, examine the area with a 10X magnifying glass and flashlight. Examine edges of skin panels, rivet heads, and corrosion prone areas. If there are blisters, bubbles, or other coating irregularities present, attempt to dislodge the paint by scraping with a sharp plastic tool. If paint does not easily dislodge and corrosion is not suspected, the irregularity is probably confined to the paint film itself and no further action should be taken. When corrosion is suspected but no irregularities are present, apply a strip of 3M No. 250 (preferred) or A-A-883 Type II, flatback masking tape over the clean, dry area. Hand rub the tape for several strokes in order to assure good adhesion, and remove the tape with an abrupt lifting motion. Where paint is removed, inspect and determine the degree of corrosion (paragraph 3-4.).
e. Documentation (MDR-11):
Ref (b) COMNAVAIRFORINST, Vol III, Ch 3, NAMP
Corrosion Control/Treatment Report (MDR-11) - This report is designed for monitoring the Corrosion Prevention and Control Program or for investigating the amount of corrective corrosion treatment necessary. The source of information is the MAF with a general WUC of 040 or MAL Code 170. It is a simple matter to determine whether any specific portion of the aircraft, by WUC, needs additional attention. The report is sorted as follows: (1) Action ORG (major sort). (2) TEC. (3) BU/SERNO. (4) WUC. c. Totals (1) A one-star (*) total is printed for each change of WUC, BU/SERNO, TEC, or ORG. (2) A two-star (**) total is printed for each change in BU/SERNO, TEC, or ORG. (3) A three-star (***) total is printed for each change in ORG.
f. Prevention versus treatment:
Ref (b) COMNAVAIRFORINST, Vol III, Ch 6, NAMP
Corrosion prevention and treatment of aircraft and aeronautical equipment is performed as part of a scheduled maintenance requirement or as an unscheduled maintenance action.

Phase II training consists of required reading, OJT, and practical and written tests. At the O level, the Wing program managers coordinate development of SE written exams covering equipment operating procedures, safety precautions, emergency procedures, and on-aircraft interface/operation. For the I level, the SE Division Officer develops Phase II written examinations with the cognizant Division Officer (IMA/MALS/Air Operations/Weapons Division Officers only).
d. Expiration dates:
SE operator licenses are valid for type equipment and aircraft for 3 years, regardless of activity assigned. SE licenses for self-propelled equipment expires when the state license expires or 3 years, whichever comes first (unless the license is from an auto-extend state). Figures 17-9 and 17-10 outline state driver license extension policies.
e. Proficiency versus requalification:
Transfer to an activity operating the same type/model but a different series merely requires verification of proficiency. Proficiency does not extend the expiration date of the license. It is only a verification through a practical examination that the member can operate the equipment safely. Renewal is a request for requalification and is a new license valid for another 3 years (or until the state license expires). Phase I training is only required to be completed once. For renewal, only the practical examination, QA test, and routing certification must be completed. The original Phase I completion is required to be routed and filed in the training record with the completed renewal certificate.
f. MHE licensing (ashore/afloat):
Forklift trucks are classified as MHE. Forklift operators and explosive ordnance drivers do not require SE operator’s licenses. Forklift operator training is conducted ashore by the Supply Department or Public Works using NAVSEA SWO23-AH-WHM-010 and DOD 4145.19R-1. IMAs ashore may also conduct forklift operator training, after coordinating with the Supply Department to develop a training program which meets or exceeds these requirements. IMAs afloat shall accomplish forklift operator training using, as a minimum, the Support Equipment Forklift Operator course. Procedures for explosive ordnance driver training and licensing are in NAVSEA SWO23-AH-WHM-010 and the Weapons Officer shall verify completion of training requirements prior to licensing.

- When the Division Officer determines that an individual is fully qualified and recommended for certification, the following steps are required:
a. Individual’s training record and Qual/Cert form is annotated with recommended certifications and forwarded to the Board for review.
b. Board members will review the training record to ensure a designated Board member has observed demonstrated proficiency on each explosives/explosive device, WTC’s, and certification levels. No more than 365 days have elapsed between proficiency demonstrations observed by a Board Member for each explosive/explosive device and work task code to be performed with the specific explosive/explosive device, or similar device. No more than 180 days elapsed since member received a formal training lecture covering each explosive/explosive device or family group of devices.
c. If cert/recert is to be granted, the individual, a Board Member and the Chairman will sign in all appropriate blocks of the qual/cert form.
d. A renewal of the certification, whether issued at the time of expiration or before, shall be granted only after the individual has been validated.
e. Line items not requiring recert shall be deleted by making a single line through the entire line entry. The Chairman shall initial and date the deletion in the right hand border.
f. Cert/Recert is valid for a maximum of one year from the date the Chairman signs the qual/cert form.
d. Certification levels (encl. 6)
- The following are the only authorized certification levels, and progressive certification from one level to the next is not mandatory:
1. Team Member (TM) - Basic qualification. Aware of basic safety precautions relative to the task and explosive/explosive devices concerned, has received formal and/or on-the-job training and has been recommended by intermediate supervisor.
- Perform only under direct supervision of a team leader.
2. Individual (I) - Same as TM.
- Has sufficient knowledge and has demonstrated the proficiency to be entrusted with performing the work task alone in safe and reliable operations.
- Capable of interpreting the requirements of applicable checklist, assembly/operating manuals, and SOP.
- This certification level can be used in conjunction with explosives/explosive devices that normally require a team effort to load/download. This is to allow an individual to perform tasks contained in the loading procedure section of checklists without the team leader at the immediate scene. Applies to functions involving cartridge actuated devices in aircraft AEPS systems when a supervised crew concept is not appropriate.
- QA/SO oversight is still required.
3. Team Leader (TL) - Same as I.
- Has sufficient knowledge and has demonstrated the proficiency to direct others in performing the work task safely.
112.26 Discuss the following Aviation Gas Free Engineer Program elements:
Ref (n) NA 01-1A-35 Aircraft Fuel cells and Tanks
Aircraft Confined Space Program. The Aircraft Confined Space Program (ACSP) describes the processes, means, and methods used for recognizing, evaluating, and controlling potential confined space hazards associated with fuel cell and fuel tank maintenance and for communicating those hazards to employees. The ACSP was formerly known as the Aviation Gas Free Engineering Program (AVGFE).
a. Program Manager The Aircraft Confined Space Program Manager (ACSPM) Must be a Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) or a Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representative (CDQAR). The ACSPM shall be designated in writing by the CO or designee. Responsible for the administration of the program within the organization, ensuring all safety requirements within the scope of this manual.
b. Qualification. Successfully complete the NAMTG course C600-3000A. This
Training shall include hands-on instruction on the operation and calibration
of gas detecting equipment. OJT Training shall be completed to acquaint the
EA with the different characteristics of each individual Fuel cell on each
Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) aircraft for which they are to be qualified. If a
Series change for a particular aircraft T/M results in no change to the fuel
cell configuration of the aircraft, then familiarization with one member of
the Series, qualifies the EA on all members of the Series. For example, if an
EA has OJT'd on a FA-18C then they are automatically qualified to certify
FA-18A, B, and D Aircraft fuel cells as well because the configuration of the
cells are identical. However, that person is not qualified to certify the
FA-18E/F because the E/F has a different configuration of cells.
c. Space certification/expiration. Classifications of Permits. The following categories should be used on Permits to indicate the conditions found at the time tests are conducted.
Class 1: Not Safe For Personnel – Not Safe For Hot Work
Class 2: Not Safe For Personnel Without Protection - Not Safe For Hot Work (Provisional Permit)
Class 3: Safe For Personnel - Not Safe For Hot Work
Class 4: Safe For Personnel - Safe For Hot Work
Class 5: Hands-In/Tool-In Maintenance
Class 6: Reclassified Non-Permit Required Confined Space
The period for which Permits are valid and the requirements for testing and maintaining validity of the Permit shall be specified by the EA, not to exceed 12 hours. A change in personnel due to shift change requires updating of the Permit (and all copies) or the issuing of a new Permit.
Periodic testing shall be performed when, in the professional judgment of the Entry Authority, safe conditions within the fuel cell may deteriorate or the limitations of the Permit may be exceeded. Periodic testing shall be performed during any operation that possesses the potential for producing or releasing toxic, flammable, or asphyxiating atmospheres or materials into the fuel cell. The overriding concern is that safe conditions are maintained within the cell during operations and after interruptions in operations. Therefore, retesting, recertifying conditions, and updating of Permits is required when work interruptions occur which could result in deterioration of safe conditions within the cell.
d. Equipment requirements. Only the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) (PMA 260) approved gas detectors shall be used to obtain required test readings of the atmosphere in a fuel cell. (Table 2-5, Item 7.a.)
e. Safety/hazards. A Safety Observer is an individual stationed outside a
fuel cell who monitors the Entrant(s). Each Safety Observer shall:
-Be trained in the proper use of respirators and Cardio Pulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) (‘O’ level only).
-Be trained in the proper use of personal protection equipment (PPE) and
hazards associated with improper oxygen, flammable, and toxic vapor limits.
-Know the hazards that may be faced during entry, which includes
information from MSDS on materials being used and consequences of exposure to
fuel vapor.
-Maintain an accurate count of Entrant(s) in the fuel cell and ensure all the
Entrant(s) are listed on the Permit.
-Communicate with the Entrant(s), by the means specified on the Permit.
-Monitor activities inside and outside the fuel cell to determine if it is
safe for Entrant(s) to remain in the fuel cell.
- Order Entrant(s) to evacuate the fuel cell if any of the following is
detected:
--Any condition in the fuel cell that is not addressed specifically on the Permit.
--Adverse effects of fuel exposure to an Entrant.
--A situation outside the fuel cell that could endanger the Entrant.
f. Documentation. When Permits are issued, distribution shall be as follows:
The original copy shall be placed in a protective cover (if needed) and posted at the main entrance or most commonly used access to the fuel cell.
One legible copy shall be posted at all other access areas that are open and readily accessible to personnel. Each copy may be placed in a protective cover if needed.
One legible copy shall be retained in the EA personal logbook (‘I’ and ‘O’ level).
One legible copy shall be provided to the Aircraft Confined Space Program Manager.
One legible copy shall be provided to the Maintenance Control requesting the service (‘O’ level only).
Other legible copies shall be distributed as required by the administrative or operational requirements peculiar to the activity.

Supplied-Air Respirators. These respirators provide breathing air independent of the environment.
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). This type of respirator allows the user complete independence from a fixed source of air and offers the greatest degree of protection but is also the most complex.
c. Respirator cleaning and storage – Only personnel who have received training through the RPPM shall perform the cleaning, inspection and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment. Store all respiratory protection equipment in a designated clean area.
d. Fit testing - Activities shall fit test each individual required to use a respirator-with a tight-fitting face-piece, at the time of initial fitting and annually thereafter. All tight-fitting positive and negative pressure respirators shall be either qualitatively or quantitatively fit tested by activities initially and annually. To wear full face, negative pressure, air purifying respirators in atmospheres up to their assigned protection factor of 50, personnel must be quantitatively fit tested and the respirator must achieve a fit factor of at least 500, which equates to a safety factor of 10.
e. Documentation - The RPPM shall document respirator fit testing and include, make, model, style and size, method of test and test results, strip chart recording or other recording of test results for quantitative fit test, test date and the name of the instructor/fit test.
