  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 and AvSE Interim Guidance. Current guidance requires the phase out ELMS auto-generated 244 and use of DAF AFTO 244 upon completion of inspection or requiring new DAF AFTO 244 whichever comes first.  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. See attached examples
  
  

  Mission Critical: 
  

  The requirement to utilize an AFTO 244 form is referenced in AvSE MIS Interim Guidance 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, AvSE MIS Interim Guidance requires use of DAF AFTO 244 and phase out of auto-generated ELMS 244.
