2 2 AFI21-101_AMCSUP_DOVERAFBSUP 2 AUGUST 2017 of Primary Responsibility (OPR) using the Air Force (AF) Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication; route AF Form 847s from the field through the appropriate functional s chain of command (Added) Safety must be a top consideration in all Maintenance Group activities; it only takes a second for someone to get hurt or to damage an aircraft or equipment. There is a chain of events leading to every mishap and our job is to break that chain in any way possible. However, sometimes it is difficult for junior members to break the mishap chain due to their position in the organization and the perception that those who are higher rank are not required to listen to their concerns. Any time a member of our organization witnesses a potentially unsafe situation, the member will call a Time Out by addressing the senior Airman/member present and saying Time Out (Added) A Time Out can be called with or without displaying the card; however, on the card is a guide with a condensed version of the steps that individuals may find useful. Every maintainer and aerial porter will have in their possession the Time Out card (located at when present for duty (Added) The use of Time Out will: (Added) Safely stop all activities in question. The initiating maintenance or aerial port team member will voice their concerns to the team. This will raise awareness to the maintenance/aerial port team of uncertainty felt by a team member due to safety concerns or decision making that does not have written guidance. Most importantly, the time out provides an opportunity to break the error chain prior to a possible mishap from occurring (Added) As soon as possible after a Time Out has been called, the maintenance/aerial port team will take the following actions: (Added) The senior maintenance/aerial port team member (e.g. team supervisor, task lead, Tiger Team lead, highest skill level, etc.) will provide all other team members the opportunity to voice inputs relative to the stated concerns (Added) After considering all inputs, the senior member will direct the team to continue with the current course of action or direct a new course of action based upon the previous team discussion. NOTE: The senior team member is the on-scene decision authority. If necessary, the applicable Production Superintendent (maintenance) or in the case of internal APS issues, the APS Duty Officer, will be the final authority. Finally, if an individual believes their concerns were not properly addressed, they may pursue the issue through their chain of command/management structure without any concern of reprisal or punishment. Commanders at all levels are to investigate any alleged reprisal and take appropriate corrective actions when necessary to fulfill the spirit of this policy (Added) In the event classified information is to be utilized on the aircraft by the aircrew, they will notify all personnel in the immediate area. Maintenance Group personnel will remove all E-tool laptops and Infrared (IR) or Radio Frequency (RF) communication devices (e.g., cell phones) from the flight deck. Equipment must be no closer than the cargo compartment (e.g., bottom of the ladder) of the particular MDS until cleared by the aircrew to return to Maintenance Group activities in the flight deck/relief crew compartment. If Maintenance Group

3 AFI21-101_AMCSUP_DOVERAFBSUP 2 AUGUST activity is required to occur simultaneously during communication of classified information, Maintenance Group personnel will use current paper copies of appropriate technical data (Added) When requested, Maintenance Group personnel will remove the equipment from the area and notify the Production Superintendent to ensure any resulting maintenance or logistics delays are documented appropriately on the sequence of events log in the MOC (Added) All base agencies dispatched to aircraft runway/taxi/parking and maintenance areas will adhere to proper cyber hygiene by ensuring all annual computer security training is complete and up-to-date. Additionally, personnel will not use mission related portable electronic devices for anything other than their mission related purpose (e.g., charging personal devices, gaming, and movies) (Added) See paragraph for Aircraft Structural Integrity Program guidance (Added) The following procedures will be accomplished for all Could Not Duplicate (CND), Repeat, Recurring and Code-3 pilot reported discrepancies (PRD) (Added) A 90 day minimum G081 history will be reviewed for trends or similar system discrepancies (history). These reviews will incorporate any other pertinent historical documentation (e.g. log books). For C-5Ms, the Embedded Diagnostic System (EDS) flight sortie downloads will also be reviewed. This includes the Removable Memory Module (RMM) data (event log, flight history) as applicable (Added) The debrief section will download and upon request, print any discrepancies that occurred during flight from the C-5M equipped EDS RMM card to facilitate maintenance personnel with troubleshooting (Added) The debrief section will upon request, provide the C-5M EDS event log printouts from takeoff to landing to the maintenance technician taking physical possession of the aircraft forms (Added) CND discrepancies will be upgraded to a Red X and cleared appropriately IAW TO paragraph and TO AMC Sup 1 paragraph Additionally, when clearing the CND if there is not a trend or significant history, include the following statement Negative aircraft history (Added) See paragraph for CANN guidance (Added) Unattended aircraft will be configured with all exposed manually actuated windows, hatches, and doors closed (Added) Section NCOIC/Chief will review G081 screen 8063 at the end of each shift to ensure there are no jobs closed without Maintenance Data Collection (MDC) (Added) The 436/512 MXG Transcribed Forms Cover Sheet (located at will be used when reviewing/routing transcribed forms (Added) All maintenance personnel are responsible for the appearance of the aircraft forms binder. They will ensure the forms and forms binders are neat, legible, serviceable, and in correct order as established by the master binder. They must ensure an adequate amount of blank forms are available to complete mission requirements.

4 4 AFI21-101_AMCSUP_DOVERAFBSUP 2 AUGUST (Added) Assigned maintenance personnel, production superintendent and expediter will monitor the currency of Engineering Dispositions (ED) and the applicable AFTO 781 entries (Added) Unattended aircraft will be configured with all exposed manually actuated windows, hatches, and doors closed (Added) Debrief personnel will compare the AMC Forms 278 and en route location debrief forms against the MIS and correct erroneous data entries when found. The AMC Forms 278 and debrief forms will then be processed IAW AFI AMCSUP (Added) Initial AGE training documentation will be documented and maintained in Training Business Area or G081 using applicable course codes (Added) AGE sub-pools are authorized at the following locations (Figure 4.1.): (Added) Northeast of Hot Cargo spot (Added) West side of the ramp access road between hangars 711 and (Added) North side of the North ECP to the flight line near building (Added) West side of the ramp access road, east side of building (Added) South side of the South Ramp, west side of building Figure 4.1.

A local training mission coded as an air abort must meet at least one of the following criteria resulting from an aircraft system malfunction, as determined by the flight crew during mission debrief: (Added) Did not complete 100% of intended AR/SPRO training (Added) Did not complete at least 75% of intended non-ar/spro training (Added) If an aircraft returns to base (RTB) for an aircraft system malfunction and eventually departs again to continue the local training mission, an air abort has not necessarily occurred. The above training completion criteria will apply to the total percentage training that the crew was able to complete for the local training mission regardless of an RTB (Added) If a previously identified maintenance air abort is later determined to be a result of operator error on the part of the crew, the air abort will be considered an ops abort. The applicable Production Superintendent will notify Debrief to adjust the landing status (e.g., Code- 1, -2, or -3) and the When Discovered Code (WDC) (e.g., C In-Flight-Abort, D In-Flight- No Abort) of the discrepancy as required (Added) In accordance with AFI AMCSUP Table 5.1, every maintenance air abort will be loaded as a Code-3 break in the MIS. As a result, the aircraft will accrue at least ten minutes of NMC status to allow the MIS to calculate a fix time. The aircraft will then be statused IAW standard MEL/MESL guidelines (Added) See Chapter 25 for the master standardized AFTO Form 781-series forms binder arrangement (Added) Functional Check Flight (FCF)/Operational Check Flight (OCF) (Added) Functional Check Flights (FCF): (Added) FCFs are determined by the requirements outlined in T.O , Acceptance/Functional Check Flights and Maintenance Operational Checks, T.O. 1C-5A-6/1C- 5M-6, Aircraft Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance Requirements and T.O. 1C-17A-6, Inspection Requirements Manual or as directed by the Maintenance Group (MXG) Commander (Added) The OG/CC (or equivalent) appoints a qualified, thoroughly experienced individual to serve as FCF/OCF OIC. This OIC serves as the focal point for FCF/OCF matters and is the liaison Quality Assurance (QA) works with to schedule FCFs and OCFs (Added) DAFB crews are not currently qualified nor authorized to perform FCFs. AFI 11-2C-5V3, C-5 Operations Procedures and AFI 11-2C-17V3, C-17 Operations Procedures, Chapter 5 outlines the procedures to follow in the event an FCF is required.
