5.0 REPAIR/OVERHAUL

5.1 Repair

A repair is classified as that which does not require complete disassembly of the landing gear assembly in order to return it to RFI status. Firm Fixed Price for a repair constitutes the initial test, evaluation and disassembly with repair of the damaged components to remedy the discrepancy noted on the 1577-2 unserviceable tag or as annotated on the Significant Component History Report (SCHR) accompanying the unit. The Firm Fixed Price shall include replacement of all systematically changed parts as required in accordance with the CMM. A repair firm fixed price shall also include final acceptance testing and storage/packaging of the gear IAW the OEM CMM prior to delivery back to the USCG.

Upon receiving the component(s) a visual and functional inspection shall be completed to confirm the specific fault for which the component(s) were dispatched as noted in the SCHR. Additionally, the contractor shall inspect for missing or broken parts and remove any foreign matter or corrosion that is (or) not related to the specific fault. As noted a DD Form 1577-2/1577-3, Unserviceable (Repairable) Tag-Material, or CG-1577-A (11-90), Unsatisfactory Report Tag, will be attached to each non-Ready For Issue (RFI) item describing faults. In the event the landing gear is not tagged with the reason for removal, contact the Contracting Officer to obtain the reason for removal.

Any item requiring complete disassembly in order to be returned as RFI shall be deemed as requiring an overhaul, as such all work shall be place on hold until approved by the contracting officer. No over and above requests will be accepted for a repair service.

NOTE: If it is determined during the initial test and evaluation that the landing gear does NOT need to be repaired, work shall discontinue until the Contracting Officer has been notified for approval.

5.2 Overhaul

An overhaul is classified as that which requires the landing gear assembly to be disassembled in order to return it to a Ready for Issue (RFI) status. A firm fixed price for an overhaul constitutes the initial test and evaluation, disassembly, overhaul, reassembly, and final acceptance test and storage/packaging of the gear IAW the OEM CMM prior to delivery back to the Coast Guard. Overhauls will not be authorized for units that are sent in for repair without approval from the Contracting Officer. Replacement of any of the Housings (P/Ns 19865-000-01, 18966-000-01, 18880-000-02), Piston Tube Assemblies (P/Ns 18991-000-02, 18990-000-03), Swivel Pin (P/Ns 18981), Axle (P/N 19324), or Piston Tube (18922) constitutes an overhaul.

All work shall be done in accordance with the OEM CMM and the SOW. Contractors shall factor this information into their firm-fixed pricing. The Contractor shall provide firm-fixed prices for the items listed in the Schedule; firm-fixed pricing shall be inclusive of all necessary parts, labor, materials (including all materials classified as being systematically replaced per the OEM CMM), and facilities to affect the overhaul upon the contracting officers approval.

The Contractor’s in-house work order may be used to satisfy this requirement if it includes the information requested above. This report shall be attached to the packing slip and shipped with the repaired component.

5.4 Corrosion

USCG aircraft operate primarily around salt water, at low altitude, and are subject to corrosion. During inspection and functional test, the presence of corrosion in a component shall constitute reason for a more thorough disassembly and inspection. Should corrosion be found, disassembly shall be made to the extent necessary to remove corrosion or replace the part, or parts, affected. Corroded parts shall be replaced, except in those cases where removal of corrosion from a part will not impair efficiency or safe operation of the part. Corrosion removal and treatment of affected areas shall be accomplished IAW the CMM and FAA Advisory Circular AC 43-4A, dated 07/25/1991, Corrosion Control for Aircraft (NavAir 01-1A-509 Series).
