SUMMARY

Q19. Q20. Q21. Q22. EOQ reports for TF34 engines should be submitted for periods that end on what dates? Status/STAR code 11-90 is the code for what type of report? What are the two transmission methods for EOQ reports? What is the deadline for submission of EOQ reports? SUMMARY The Aircraft Engine Management System (AEMS) provides data on inventory management and the reporting of engines, propulsion systems, and modules. Aircraft Engine Management Systems, NAVAIRINST 13700.15, is the governing directive for AEMS. A Status code is used to describe the condition of an engine, the purpose for which the engine is used, or the state or progress an engine has reached in the maintenance cycle. The 11 series Status code is used to describe an installed operating engine. A STAR code describes or gives the reason for strikes, transfers, acquisitions, or removals. A STAR code is always used with an aircraft engine Status code and amplifies the Status code. A controlling custodian is advised of the change of the status, use, or custody of an aircraft engine by an engine transaction report (ETR). An ETR can report a single transaction or several transactions of an evolution (for example, removal and transfer of an engine and subsequent receipt and installation of a replacement engine). AEMS on-line reporting is the preferred method of submitting ETRs for shore-based activities. ETRs are numbered sequentially throughout the calendar year. Data elements 0 through 6 and item 19 are mandatory on all ETRs. When flight hours are reported on an ETR, tenth of hours are dropped without rounding off the hours. ETRs should be retained on file for at least 24 months. After notification of an ETR error by higher authority, an ETR correction report should be submitted within 24 hours. The Aircraft Engine Record card provides for a standardized record for local management of aircraft engines. An Aircraft Engine Record card should be retained for 6 months after an engine is transferred. The type of engine that is being reported upon determines the quarter in which an end-of-quarter (EOQ) report is submitted. The Status/STAR code 11-90 is the code for an EOQ report. An EOQ report may be submitted by the AEMS on-line computer or by naval message. The deadline for an EOQ report is 1200 hours on the 5th working day that follows the end of the reporting period. In this chapter, we discussed the importance of accurate aircraft engine management procedures. We found that each instance of engine status as well as change of custody must be reported daily. Like aircraft inventory reporting, engine management is essential to any naval aviation activity’s primary concern—the ability to perform its mission. 9-12
