spare  parts,  and  material  that  are  necessary  to accomplish the workload. The material control work center provides material support to the aircraft. maintenance department by performing the following functions: Ensures  maintenance  and  material  re- quirements for parts and materials are forwarded to ASD by using NALCOMIS Establishes delivery and pickup points for the material that is ordered, and ensures that the material that is received is promptly routed to the applicable work center Establishes procedures to operate the tool room and for tool inventories Initiates surveys in the event of loss, damage, or destruction of accountable items of material and equipment Performs  certain  cost  and  allotment  record accounting, charting, and budgeting of costs Maintains liaison with ASD on maintenance material matters to ensure that material needs of the maintenance department are satisfied Performs an inventory of aircraft upon receipt and transfer to ensure that inventory log entries are  complete,  and  inventory  shortages  are recorded The material control center also maintains aircraft inventory  records.  This  includes  the  inventory  of aircraft upon receipt and transfer. For a complete list of material control responsibilities, refer to the NAMP. AIRCRAFT.—The aircraft division coordinates and   completes   scheduled   (inspections)   and unscheduled  maintenance  on  aircraft  and  equipment. The  aircraft  division  performs  organizational maintenance  tasks  on  power  plants,  airframes,  aviator’s equipment branch, and inspection branch. AVIONICS/ARMAMENT. —The  avionics/ar- mament division performs organizational maintenance tasks in the avionics and armament equipment on aircraft. This division also provides technicians to the aircraft division (inspection branch) to accomplish scheduled maintenance (inspections) on aircraft. LINE. —The line division provides maintenance that supports the day-to-day tasks that are involved in flight  operations.  The  maintenance  that  the  line division provides is limited to servicing and does not involve  repair  of  weapon  systems.  Daily  and turnaround   inspections,   oil   replenishment   and sampling, minor adjustment and checkout of installed aircraft  equipment,  and  assumption  of  custody  and accountability of division support equipment (SE) are responsibilities of the line division. The line division also administers the plane captain assignment and qualification  program.  The  line  division  directs troubleshooters, who are normally personnel from work centers in other production divisions, who are assigned  to  the  line  division. UNMANNED  AERIAL  VEHICLE  (UAV).—A UAV division is established when responsibilities relative  to  the  operation  and  maintenance  of  unmanned aerial  vehicles  are  extensive.  The  UAV  division coordinates  and  performs  periodic  maintenance, inspection, decontamination, and rehabilitation of recoverable UAVs. INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE LEVEL Production Divisions Permanently assigned aviation mechanics and technicians maintain naval aircraft. Organizational charts show production divisions as the lowest element, but this is not in keeping with their level of importance. If it were not for the production divisions, there would be no reason for any other part of the organization. The production elements of an OMA consist of four divisions, as shown in figure 1-1. These divisions maybe further subdivided into branches. Intermediate  maintenance  supports  and  sup- plements   the   work   of   OMAs.   Intermediate maintenance usually performs these functions in a centrally located area for the support of operating aircraft.  These  operating  aircraft  may  be  ashore,  aboard ship, or within a specific geographical area. Since an intermediate maintenance activity (IMA) is not assigned aircraft for operational purposes, its efforts are concentrated in the area of testing and repairing aircraft components. 1-9
