First ever deployed PMP performed on Andersen
Members of the 27th Aircraft Maintenance travel, work here from Langley AFB, Va, to finish what has been done by the aircraft of the fifth before the PMP is a long-term maintenance of heavy fighter aircraft, the operator. every 300 flight hours.
"It's like your car," 2nd Lt. Lauren Chaffee, Squadron 27, said the trip. "Every few thousand miles, you will lead the hike. It's a good fighter at all hours of flight 300.. "
This board · process normally takes months to complete. The unit was assigned to the accelerated PMP in 10 days.
"A team of 16 staff who work shifts of 12 hours around the clock to get the job done to make this possible," 1 liter Ikedinachi Akagha, 27 EAMU said: "It's incredible just about able to get this plan does. only. But the action. Everything fell into place so that these better than the past ten day ".
The project has been in operation since January. Agencies to the scenario to try and predict what might go wrong, it's not true.
"We are, in essence, trying to create a plan that is perfect for jet-ever examination of this size," said Tony Akagha said: "The plane was relatively new, an engineer and still are. discovered the problem, as with any new aircraft. "."You are going to have to address some changes that are needed so that you can use those lessons learned to a new aircraft," he added.
To meet their goal, they started by making a table of all time.
"Usually we have a team on a separate plane in the" Master Akagha "With our accelerated PMP, we try to include everything. We have to figure out how many different departments or teams, we have the jet in one. "
The team observed a panel at any of the inspection team may need to get into the PMP. Inspection team then ran through a list of checks to make sure that everything is operational. They then re-board the plane and hand it back to the team that was so low that they can be re - layer jet.
"Despite the crunch, high ops tempo and stress of the operation, just a month long investigation in such a limited time, we pulled it off with a very large," said Lt. Akagha.
When planes arrive within 30 to 40 hours of scheduled flights to the PMP to be a reason, and will not be allowed to fly until they are verified as appropriate. There are different criteria to the 300, 600 and 900 is the jet, especially at the hour of 900, which can detect the most severe and extensive, Tony Akagha said.
"The threat potential and the potential for conflict in this region, we need to ensure that plans are in place in case we need to send a jet to fight when there is too little during the next flight. PMP and the next, "he said.
"It is good to send a jet that is fresh and has been inspected and ready to fight for a long period of time. This is kind of an experiment to see if it might in fact be made and we have not. ".
