Description:
There is presently no M&U Report or Form that produces something similar to the AFTO Form 244. The AFTO form 244 is the AF-mandated hard-copy/manual means to track and document maintenance discrepancies and inspections for equipment and is maintained on the equipment at all times to allow ready validation of serviceability, or to document discrepancies discovered during use. Require the ability to print pre-filled forms with data from M&U. This allows maintainers and personnel to quickly identify the serviceability of the asset.
Recommended:
Using Data in DPAS, create a Report or Form that provides the data contained in the AFTO Form 244 with field names changed to match DPAS M&U field names.
Mission Critical:
Mandated and critical. If an asset is dispatchable an AFTO Form 244 must be affixed to, and accompany the asset at all times. This form is the only way a user on the flightline can determine if a piece of equipment is serviceable and safe for use.
Benefits:
Ensures equipment is in a safe condition prior to use. Reduces time and improves accountability. It is a safety issue as the AFTO Form 244 is the conduit to communicate discrepancies or status of the asset to operators of the equipment. Policy impacted - AFI 21-101 and 21-103.
Users:
Affects Maintainers, Users of the Equipment, QA personnel. Currently there are 160,000 pieces of equipment bridged to our maintenance group LM. Estimate 60% of the assets in M&U (FH-AFHAF) require hard-copy AFTO Form 244's accompany the equipment at all times.
