chemical agents; their components, and associated substances, presenting real or potential hazards to life and property.

Aviation Maintenance

Management Team

(AMMT) Inspection (Navy-peculiar requirement)

An inspection performed by the NAVAIR inspection team to evaluate the maintenance practices and programs required under the most current 4790 CNAF Instruction and the requirements of this PWS. These inspections will generally be scheduled through the PMA and the inspection team based on availability and operational commitments. Frequency of the AMMT visits generally varies between 18 and 24 months.

Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) Term used to indicate an aircraft is Not Mission Capable (NMC) when aircraft is grounded for maintenance or non-available spare parts.

Back-shop The support services to provide the necessary repair, overhaul, testing and modification of components removed from the airframe.

Catastrophic Failure

Applies only to Over & Above cost to repair Engines when cost to repair exceeds 80% of the replacement cost.

Conditional Maintenance Conditional maintenance requirements are unscheduled events required as a result of specific over-limit condition or as a result of circumstances or events which create an administrative requirement for an inspection and any aircraft maintenance action requiring O&A 40 hours to complete.

Data All management, scientific engineering and logistics information, reports, and documentation which are required.

Defect Any non-conformance of a characteristic with specified requirements.

Not Mission Capable (NMC)

The material condition of an aircraft indicating that it is not capable of performing any one of its missions (as defined in the applicable MEL/MESL/MESM Appendix F), or when a required maintenance action causes the aircraft to be non-airworthy.

NMC time starts when the Contractor is notified of an inoperable condition.

NMC time ends when the Contractor notifies the On-Site

Government Representative (OSGR) or Pilot-In-Command (PIC) that the aircraft is ready for pre-flight inspection or test flight.

If the aircraft is determined to be NMC as a result of a pre-flight inspection or test flight and the cause is attributable to the original fault, NMC time shall continue from the original time of discovery, provided the preflight or test flight inspection is performed within 24 hours after notification is provided to the

OSGR or PIC by the Contractor.

If panels and equipment are removed to conduct area inspections and cannot be replaced within a two-hour time frame, then the entire inspection is considered to have impacted mission capability and shall be documented as NMC. The two-hour rule applies to scheduled maintenance only.

When a new discrepancy is found during pre-flight or test flight, NMC time will start when the OSGR notifies the Contractor of the inoperable condition.

If a new discrepancy is found when the aircraft is not located at the Site (aircraft is off-Site) or when the aircraft is located at the

Site and Contractor personnel are not available, NMC time will start when the Government notifies the Contractor of the inoperable condition. In either case, NMC time will start not later than one hour after time of discovery/flight termination.

Aircraft shall be considered NMC for reporting purposes when the Contractor fails to correct PMC items within 10 days for

Continental United Status (CONUS) and 20 days for OCONUS, unless PMA/PMO waiver granted.

Aircraft shall be considered NMC for reporting purposes when the Contractor fails to correct one or multiple non-grounding discrepancies (except those pending SA incorporation, inspection or corrosion) within 20 days, unless PMA/PMO waiver granted.

Not Mission Capable

Maintenance (NMCM)

The material condition of an aircraft when it is not available for a mission because of scheduled or unscheduled maintenance as required by the PWS.

Scheduled maintenance time for reporting purposes includes routine, detail, calendar, engine and special inspections when the combination of inspection requirements is such that it requires placing the aircraft in an inoperable condition. Scheduled maintenance time does not include time spent performing daily, preflight, turnaround, post-flight or corrosion inspections when the requirements do not require placing the aircraft in an inoperable condition.

Not Mission Capable (NMC)

– MEL/MESL/MESM

Discrepancies against any system on the MEL/MESL/MESM will be considered NMC for the purpose of determining MC rates, if the discrepancy is not corrected within 10 calendar days for

CONUS aircraft and 20 calendar days for OCONUS aircraft.

After the stated time period expires, the aircraft will be carried as

NMC even though the local Commander may elect to fly the aircraft (if other grounding criteria do not exist). If the

Government elects to fly an aircraft against which reduced payment under this provision is being assessed, the Contractor shall be exempt from reduced payment for that aircraft for the duration of the flight.

Any discrepancy against any system on the MEL/MESL/MESM will be included in Daily Status Reports / CDRL A001 (i) and

A002 (ii).

Not Mission Capable Supply

(NMCS)

The material condition of an aircraft when it is not available for a mission because parts or material are not available as required by the PWS.

Noted but not Corrected

(NBNC)

Noted but not corrected (NBNC) discrepancies found during ACI which should normally be discovered and repaired at operating sites prior to ACI induction.

On-Condition Replacement

Parts & Material

Those parts and material replaced based upon their condition (i.e.

broken, worn, out of tolerance limits, configuration change, etc.)

Out-of-Reporting

(synonymous with NRT)

Applicable for contract reporting purposes only and is used to account for aircraft that are undergoing ACI, in preservation, etc.

Partial Mission Capable

(PMC)

The condition status that indicates the aircraft is capable of safe flight and can perform at least one, but not all, of its missions prescribed because of an inoperable/missing item listed in the

MEL/MESL/MESM excluding discrepancies against any system in which aircraft is considered NMC.

Recording of PMC time starts when it is first known that a discrepancy exists, except when caused by an in-flight malfunction, then the time starts at the termination of the flight.

PMC time stops when maintenance has been successfully completed.

Planned Maintenance – as requested on CDRL A001(i)

Supplemental Format

Any “planned maintenance” action which would preclude

TAIRCRAFT aircraft from being “Ready for Training”; i.e. 56 day corrosion inspection, 14 day wash, clearing non-NMCM

Awaiting Maintenance (AWM) discrepancies, etc.

Primary Mission A primary mission shall include day or night flight under

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) conditions, into High Density Air

Traffic Control Zones and through known icing weather and conditions to altitudes requiring cabin pressurization.
