Maintains  the  material  control  register Maintains inventories of materials on hand Maintains  subcustody  records  for  accountable items held by the department Maintains records of all material transactions and accounts  for  the  expenditures  of  funds  by  the department Furnishes technical advice and information to the local supply activity concerning material requirements for the assigned workload In  IMAs,  the  material  control  center  has  an aeronautical material screening unit (AMSU). This unit  coordinates  the  screening  of  received  materials and  parts  to  determine  the  status  and  repair responsibility  and  capability. PRODUCTION  DIVISIONS.—Normally,   the l-level  maintenance  organization  consists  of  six production divisions, as shown in figure 1-2. The six production  divisions  are  power  plants,  airframes, avionics,  armament  equipment,  aviation  life  support equipment, and support equipment. In this chart you can see that if the OMD and IMA are combined, an organizational  maintenance  division  is  established. Additionally, a support services division may also be established if so desired. However, this discussion deals with the six normal production divisions and their  responsibilities,  minus  organizational maintenance and support services divisions. The type of work that you will perform is the same regardless of the maintenance level at which you are working. If you are an AD, you will work on engines. If you are an AE, you will work on instruments and electrical equipment. If you are an AT, you will work on  avionics  equipment.  However,  the  work  that  you will perform is at a level beyond the capability of the supported activity. In this section, the more important responsibilities  and  functions  of  these  divisions  are presented. Power Plants. ADS staff the power plants division. They perform maintenance on power plants, power plant components, and associated systems. Airframes. AMs are assigned to work centers in the  airframes  division.  The  airframes  division  is responsible for the specified level of maintenance for the airframe and structural components; moveable structures and surfaces, including their hydraulic and pneumatic  control  and  actuating  systems  and mechanisms;  air-conditioning,  pressurization,  visual improvement, oxygen, and other utility systems; and seat and canopy ejection systems and components. Avionics. The avionics division is staffed with the appropriate combination of ratings to provide maintenance  of  avionics  equipment  for  the supported activities: AEs maintain aircraft electrical and  instrument  systems.  AT(I)s  perform intermediate-  level  preventive  and  corrective maintenance  on  aviation  electronic  components supported  by  conventional  and  automatic  test equipment,  including  repair  of  weapons  replaceable assemblies  (WRA)  and  shop  replaceable  assemblies (SRA). The AT also performs microminiature (2M) component  repair,  and  performs  test  equipment qualification and associated test bench preventive and  corrective  maintenance. Armament  Equipment.  AOs  are  assigned  to  the armament division. They maintain aircraft armament equipment and aviation ordnance equipment. Aviation   Life   Support   Equipment.   PRs   are assigned  to  the  aviation  life  support  equipment division. This division is responsible for intermediate maintenance in connection with parachutes, life rafts, pressure suits, oxygen masks, emergency equipment kits, flight clothing, oxygen regulators, automatic parachute  actuators,  and  aviators’  protective  helmets, etc. AME personnel also may be assigned to this division for upkeep and support of the oxygen system, pressurization and air-conditioning systems, and other emergency equipment as assigned within the scope of that rating. Support  Equipment  (SE).  The  Aviation  Support Equipment  Technician  (AS)  performs  the  necessary maintenance on the SE assigned to the maintenance department and supported activities. SE includes such items as test stands, workstands, mobile electric power plants,   and   pneumatic   and   hydraulic   servicing equipment. Q31. Q32. Q33. What is the purpose of the production control work  center? At the intermediate maintenance activity, who provides qualitative and quantitative analytical information to the AMO? At the I-level, power plants, airframes, avionics, armament equipment, support equipment, and aviators’ life support equipment are known as what type of divisions? 1-11
