DPAS SCR: 02174

Change Request: Policy / Regulatory

Description:

The current automated version of the AFTO Form 244 does not fully comply with Air Force policy requiring accurate documentation of maintenance and inspections on aviation support equipment (ASE) as outlined in TO 00-20-1. Specifically, it does not allow for proper inclusion of status symbols or the documentation of partially mission capable (PMC) conditions, which are essential for tracking ASE readiness and serviceability.

Recommended:

A SCR is underway to incorporate PMC status and additional capabilities into the automated AFTO 244. It would be beneficial to align the automated output with the AFTO 244 with the requirements set forth in TO 00-20-1, would improve accuracy and reduce the risk of documentation errors. Additionally, work plan description and work order data fields should be aligned to populate the AFTO 244 with the Service Requested as documented in the work order. This will provide a more detailed description of the discrepancy listed on the AFTO 244.

Mission Critical:

The requirement to utilize an AFTO 244 form is referenced in AvSE MIS Interim Guidance (update in progress) and is referenced in TO's 00-20-1, 00-20-2 and DAFI 21-101

Benefits:

Standardization of the form would improve accuracy and reduce the risk of documentation errors for field personnel utilizing the automated and official DAF AFTO 244 form, versus having two different forms with different processes.
