Maintenance Forms and Records Flashcards

A maintenance team is performing a 100-hour inspection on a UH-60. They note several scheduled maintenance items that are due at different intervals (e.g., daily, 40 hours, monthly). Which form is specifically designed to list these special inspections and time-change components to ensure they are tracked and completed?

Answer: DA Form 2408-18, Equipment Inspection List

DA Form 2408-18, Equipment Inspection List, is used to record and track special inspections and components that have a scheduled replacement or inspection interval different from the aircraft's primary inspection schedule. This form ensures these critical, time-sensitive tasks are not overlooked.

During daily maintenance on an AH-64 Apache, a technician discovers a fault. The fault is documented, but the required repair parts are not immediately available, and the fault does not ground the aircraft. According to DA PAM 738-751, which form is used to document and track this uncorrected fault?

Answer: DA Form 2408-14-1, Uncorrected Fault Record (Aircraft)

DA Form 2408-14-1 is the specific form introduced for aviation use to track uncorrected faults on an aircraft that do not render it non-mission capable. It serves as a running list of discrepancies that need to be addressed when parts or time become available.

Which of the following forms serves as the primary record for documenting faults found during pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight inspections, as well as the corrective actions taken to resolve those faults?

Answer: DA Form 2408-13-1, Aircraft Inspection and Maintenance Record

DA Form 2408-13-1, Aircraft Inspection and Maintenance Record, is the primary form used to document faults discovered on an aircraft and the corresponding corrective actions. Part I is for fault information, and Part II is for documenting the fix.

An aircrew completes a mission and needs to record flight duration, duty symbols, landings, and fuel servicing data. Which TAMMS-A form is the correct document for recording this specific operational and servicing information?

Answer: DA Form 2408-12, Army Aviator's Flight Record

DA Form 2408-12, Army Aviator's Flight Record, is used to document all flight-related data for the aircraft and crew, including pilot/crew information, flight times, landings, and servicing data like fuel and oil added.

A critical component is removed from an aircraft due to a malfunction. The maintenance officer needs to ensure the life cycle and maintenance history of this specific, high-value component are tracked from its removal through repair and eventual reinstallation or condemnation. Which form is essential for this purpose?

Answer: DA Form 2408-16, Aircraft Component Historical Record

DA Form 2408-16, Aircraft Component Historical Record, is a detailed log that stays with a specific, serially-tracked component throughout its service life. It documents all installations, removals, and significant maintenance actions, providing a complete history for that part.

A maintenance unit has two identical aircraft; one is mission capable, and the other is non-mission capable (NMC) due to a faulty transmitter. A high-priority mission requires a second aircraft, but the replacement transmitter will not arrive in time. The commander authorizes the removal of the working transmitter from the NMC aircraft to install on the mission-required aircraft. What is this maintenance action called, and what is a key documentation principle?

Answer: Cannibalization; requires documentation of the part removal on the forms of the donor aircraft.

This action is defined as cannibalization: the removal of a serviceable part from one piece of equipment to install it on another to restore it to operational condition. All such actions must be meticulously documented in the maintenance records (e.g., DA Form 2408-13-1) of both the donor and receiving aircraft to maintain accountability and record integrity.
