Attachment 7 - F-16 MLG Outer Piston Assembly 1620-01-442-0167 Portfolio.pdf

This is an AMC/AMSC Screening Analysis Worksheet and supporting engineering documentation for the F-16 Landing Gear Outer Piston Assembly (NSN 1620-01-442-0167, Part No. 2006106-109).

The document establishes engineering requirements and procurement controls for this critical safety item (CSI) piston assembly used in F-16 aircraft main landing gear shock struts. The component is designated as a hard critical item requiring engineering source approval and first article testing. Annual procurement is estimated at 181 units with a unit cost of $7,908.10 (total estimated annual buy value: $1,431,366.10). Procurement is restricted to a pre-approved supplier list of 16 qualified sources, including Goodrich Corporation (design control activity, CAGE 6K4C8), Israel Aircraft Industries, Triumph Structures-East Texas, HDI Landing Gear USA, and others. All Canadian company transactions must be processed through Canadian Commercial Corporation. The component requires conformance to drawing 2006106-109 and the Landing Gear Requirements Document (USAF drawing 201416605). First article approval is mandatory for new suppliers or those with extended production gaps, with testing to be conducted at 809 MXSS/MXDEB at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, within 365 calendar days of contract award. The documentation includes comprehensive engineering orders, material specifications (7049-T73 aluminum alloy per SAE AMS QQ-A-367), processing requirements including shot peening, anodizing, and fluorescent penetrant inspection, and unique identification marking requirements. All manufacturing, inspection, and finishing operations must comply with detailed specifications including MIL standards for anodizing, plating, penetrant inspection, and corrosion protection.
