This supplement implements and extends the guidance of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 21-303, Technical Orders, 8 October 2006. This supplement applies to all Air Education and Training Command (AETC) aircraft maintenance, trainer maintenance, and support equipment maintenance activities. It does not apply to Air Force Reserve Command or Air National Guard units. All records created as a result of processes prescribed in this supplement are maintained according to Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 37-123 (will convert to AFMAN 33-363), Management of Records, and disposed of according to the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule located at https://afrims.amc.af.mil/rds_series.cfm. Recommendations for change, improvement, or waivers to this instruction should be annotated on AETC Form 1236, Request for Improving/Changing AETC Maintenance Publications. (AETC Form 1236 is prescribed in AFI 21-101/AETC Sup 1, Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management. Refer to that publication for guidance on filling out the form.)

Requests must be approved by the appropriate group commander (or squadron commander, if not assigned to a group) before forwarding to the Maintenance Division (HQ AETC/A4M), 555 E Street East, Randolph AFB TX 78150-4440, for action by the Policy and Procedures Section (HQ

AETC/A4MMP).

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This supplement is substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. This revision was due to the revision of the basic AFI; paragraph 2.4.2 is supplemented because this guidance was moved from technical order (TO) 00-5-1, Air Force Technical Order System, and paragraph 2.4.3 clarifies the requirement for contractor use of methods and procedures technical orders (MPTO) at the job site.

1.3.4.5. The AETC office of primary responsibility (OPR) for TO policy and the centralized technical order management committee is HQ AETC/A4MMP, 555 E Street East, Randolph AFB TX 78150- 4440.

2.4.2. Operations and maintenance group or equivalent commanders may further define a job site for specific situations.

2.4.3. Contractor personnel are not required to have MPTOs at the job site unless otherwise directed.
