If the last wash occurred within 30 days prior to the scheduled Isochronal/Phase inspection, the MXG/CC may determine if another wash is required prior to the

Isochronal/Phase inspection. Exception: MQ-1/MQ-9 units will establish local procedures for frequency and cleaning requirements.

10 ANGI21-105 7 APRIL 2017

4.2. Documentation requirements are listed in the Technical Order series 00-20.

4.3. Proper lubrication is vital in preventing corrosion. Lubrication prevents water intrusion into bearing cavities and causing corrosion. When personnel wash components, between normal cleaning cycles (flight line washes), re-lubrication is required.

4.4. Units must strictly adhere to scheduled aircraft wash cycles. Units must report all overdue washes directly to NGB/A4MM and the owning SPD.

4.5. Units with aircraft operating near or over salt water must comply with clear water rinsing requirements, IAW T.O. 1-1-691. Deployed units must use every means possible to meet wash and rinse requirements at the Forward Operating Location (FOL). If unable to meet wash and rinse requirements, a wavier must be obtained using the guidelines outlined in

T.O.1-1-691.

5. Corrosion Prevention and Control Training.

5.1. All aircraft maintenance personnel will receive locally developed corrosion prevention and control training under the direction of the Unit Corrosion Manager.

5.2. Refresher training will be accomplished annually IAW IMDS and GO81.

5.3. Personnel in the ASM and LOASM work centers are exempt from routine corrosion prevention and control training.

5.4. Corrosion training does not replace normal on-the-job (OJT) requirements for individuals in any career field.

5.5. The Unit Corrosion Manager or designated representatives will conduct training. The

Corrosion Manager, assisted by the Unit Maintenance Training Manager, updates training materials and information, and develops training curriculum. Training curriculum must include the following:

5.6. Establishing procedures and techniques for identifying corrosion.

5.7. Identifying unit specific weapon systems and equipment corrosion-prone areas.

5.8. Documenting procedures for identifying corrosion.

5.9. Selecting and using sealants, corrosion-preventive compounds (CPCs), and lubricants.

5.10. Selecting and using approved cleaning materials.

6. Aerospace Vehicle Coating and Marking Requirements. This section provides guidance for applying command approved, non-USAF standard aircraft coatings and markings as authorized in T.O. 1-1-8 Application and Removal of Organic Coatings, Aerospace And Non-

Aerospace Equipment. Paint schemes/configurations and USAF standard aircraft markings will be applied in accordance with T.O. 1-1-8 and the applicable aircraft technical order. Fighter

(Legacy) and HH-60 helicopter aircraft will be scheduled through the ANG Regional Paint

Facility, Sioux City, Iowa. This facility is annually funded by NGB/A4M and has the capability to provide a total scuff-sand and repaint following TO 1-1-8 and specific weapon system -23 requirements.

6.1. Coating System Scoring and Maintenance. All units, with the exception of F-22, F-

35, and RQ-4, are required to evaluate/score aircraft coating systems every 6 months for

ANGI21-105 7 APRIL 2017 11

appearance/coating system integrity using applicable technical data or a locally developed system. Supervisors will use scores to determine corrosion treatment/paint scheduling priority. Units are required to adopt maintenance-painting techniques (i.e., spot painting and sectionalized painting as stated in T.O. 1-1-8) to maintain aircraft corrosion protection and appearance between overcoats. Partial painting “sections” of the aircraft will help reduce the effects of mottling and mismatch. Fully over coated aircraft will be documented in the MIS and the individual aircraft AFTO Form 95, Significant Historical Data, for tracking purposes. All aircraft units should rely on spot maintenance painting and sectionalized painting between depot cycles to maintain the coating system integrity.

6.2. Maintenance painting.

6.2.1. Protective coating systems, Conventional and Low Observable, provide protection for aircraft and aerospace ground powered and non-powered equipment surfaces. Specific

Weapon System and Equipment Technical Orders determine protective coating systems selection.

6.2.2. Maintenance painting is the application of coatings to aerospace equipment where the existing coating is deteriorated, damaged, or missing. Conventional and Low

Observable maintenance painting must be kept to a minimum, and comply with federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Maintenance painting of aircraft accomplished solely for cosmetics (beautification) is not authorized on ANG aircraft.

6.2.3. Aircraft stripping and repainting at field level is not authorized. When aircraft repainting is beyond the unit’s capability; request assistance IAW T.O. 00-25-107, Maintenance Assistance. Fighter (Legacy) and HH-60 helicopter aircraft will be scheduled through the ANG Regional Paint Facility, Sioux City, Iowa. This facility is annually funded by NGB/A4M and has the capability to provide a total scuff- sand and repaint following TO 1-1-8 and specific weapon system -23 requirements.

6.2.4. F-16 Aircraft: A scuff sand and overcoat of the aircrafts exterior should be performed at intervals such that the total mil thickness of the finish system does not exceed 18 Mils. A coating Grid sheet (See attachment 8) and a digital coating thickness gauge (LP) will be required to determine when a coating system needs to be de-painted.

When the total coating thickness reaches 15-18 mils, contact NGB/A4M to schedule into the Depot Speed Line Program.

6.2.5. Units equipped with environmentally compliant aircraft painting facilities are authorized to perform mid-interval over coating of aircraft. LO aircraft may be re-painted, per technical data, at units with Restoration Bays. Work processes will be coordinated with local Environmental and Bioenvironmental offices.

6.2.6. A complete scuff and paint is allowable at MQ-1/MQ-9 units if a properly approved paint facility is available.

6.3. Aircraft Markings. Markings will be applied to aircraft as authorized by specific aircraft T.O.s, T.O. 1-1-8, this instruction, and applicable approved waivers (See

Attachment 2, ANG Aircraft Markings, Attachment 3, Typical ANG Tail Marking

Configuration). All aircraft markings and basic paint schemes will be maintained intact, legible and distinct in color. Command standardization of markings by mission design series

(MDS) is of primary concern.

A2.2.1. All aircraft markings and basic paint schemes will be maintained intact, legible, and distinct in color. Standardization of markings (by MDS) is of primary concern.

A2.2.2. Legacy fighter units are recommended to overcoat their aircraft at the mid-point of their scheduled PDM/Speed line cycle to maintain coating system integrity and aircraft appearance. Units will accomplish maintenance painting (touch-up) at home station, when possible, and use the ANG Regional Paint Facility, Sioux City, Iowa, when mid-cycle over-coating is required.

A2.2.2.1. F22 Units/Associates may accomplish coating restoration per specific TO

Instructions where restoration facilities are available. Full de-paint and re-paints will be done by Depot/Contractor personnel.

A2.2.3. Large aircraft units should rely on maintenance painting between depot cycles to maintain coating integrity. Overcoats will be scheduled through the depot/contractor by

NGB/A4MA on a case-by-case basis.

A2.2.4. Fully over coated aircraft will be documented in IDMS/GO81 and the individual aircraft AFTO Form 95 for tracking purposes. Weight and balance after a complete overcoat may be required. Check specific weapon T.O. guidance.

A2.2.5. Maintenance Painting Guideline: Minor: 2-sq ft or less, Major: 2-sq ft or larger.

Minor includes, but not limited to, nicks, scratches, panel edges, rusty fasteners, or when new fasteners are installed during panel up. Major: includes, but not limited to, leading edges, large repairs, removable panels, wheels, or new parts.

A2.3. Marking Options: The following options from T.O. 1-1-8 are delegated to the Wing

Commander:

A2.3.1. May authorize a distinguishing colored horizontal stripe for application on both sides of the middle or top-most portion of the vertical fin and rudder, if applicable. Flat

colors or contrasting grays can be used but must match gloss requirements of the basic paint scheme.

A2.3.2. The state/city name within the tail stripe may be used. Nicknames in the tail stripe are not authorized. Exception: 130 AW Charleston WV is authorized to use ―Charlie West‖ to reduce confusion within military circles with Charleston SC or Charleston AFB.

A2.3.3. Tail art may be used, such as Bird of Prey type marking. Size and location TBD by the unit, but must not interfere with mandatory marking or existing camouflage patterns.

Only flat colors are allowed and must match gloss requirements of the basic paint scheme can be applied. Note: Changing the color(s)/pattern(s) on vertical tail(s) is not authorized without SPD approval.

A2.3.4. May authorize special aircraft markings that reflect mission activity, crew accomplishment, and unit esprit de corps, within the following guidelines:

A2.3.5. Markings can be applied on nose, tails, engine nacelles, gear doors, drop tanks, and travel pods. Markings must be applied in flat colors or contrasting grays that match gloss requirements of the basic paint scheme.

A2.3.6. Names of pilots, crew chiefs, or other members of the flight/ground crew maybe applied, IAW T.O. 1-1-8. Applications of nicknames and/or call signs are not authorized.

Units must remove all air crew & crew chief names and ensure that area(s) where these names are placed are not legible when the stencil or vinyl lettering is removed. These areas may need re-painted prior to deploying into hostile environments.

A2.3.7. May authorize location of placards indicating armament loads on camouflaged aircraft, if not otherwise specified.

A2.4. Nonstandard Markings. All nonstandard markings must be approved by NGB/A4MM.

Semi-gloss or high gloss colors are not authorized on any camouflage or flat gray aircraft. Units will forward a clear/detailed color photograph of their aircraft that depict nonstandard markings.

A letter of approval from the Wing Commander must accompany all photos. Photos (digital) will be provided to NGB/A4MM for approval. If markings are changed in the future, new photos and approval letter from the Wing Commander must be forwarded within 30 days of the change.

Original letters of approval must be kept on file at the unit for inspection purposes. Digital photos can be sent by email (call DSN 612-8488 for email address) or provided on CD by mail to: NGB/A4MM, Attention: Maintenance Functional Manager, 3501 Fetchet Avenue, Andrews

AFB MD 20762-5157.

A2.4.1. Nose Art. For purposes of clarification, “nose art” shall be the term used to identify specialized artwork applied to the aircraft. Nose art is authorized for all ANG owned aircraft.

LO aircraft will use coating materials approved for that specific aircraft. No vinyl or decals will be allowed on the outer mod line of an LO aircraft. Wing Commanders must approve all nose art, in writing, and be responsible for issues associated with its application. Nose art will not exceed 18 inches for fighter aircraft, 36 inches for large aircraft, not infringe on mandatory aircraft markings and meet the gloss requirements of the original paint scheme.

Units that are called upon to perform in a hostile environment may be required to remove nose art prior to deployment or at the FOL. Nose art must:

A2.4.3. Competition Aircraft: Units participating in competitions such as William Tell, Gun

Smoke, Tiger Meet, Red Flag, etc., will follow the guidelines established in the competition rules for aircraft appearance. Competitions should be considered ―come as you are‖.

―Come as you are‖ is defined as no special effort, painting, or additional markings applied to enhance or improve the overall appearance of the aircraft.

A2.4.4. Wing Aircraft: Wing commanders will select aircraft to be specifically marked highlighting the 2-digit unit designator and radio call numbers is authorized using flat white, black or contrasting grays. Tail and nose art can be applied using flat colors that match the gloss requirements of the original paint scheme.

A2.4.5. Special Mission Aircraft: The ANG has a number of ―Special Mission Aircraft‖ assigned. Several of these units maintain aircraft with high gloss paint systems and markings.

These aircraft will be marked IAW T.O. 1-1-8 or specific manufacture/SPD drawings.
