-
What form is used when you discover a part on an aircraft that needs replacement?
A Visual Information Display System/Maintenance Action Form (VIDS/MAF).
-
Why is it important for you, when entering data on the VIDS/MAF, to press hard and print legibly?
Because failure to write clearly cannot only cause receipt of the wrong part, but the AK might order an item that costs thousands of dollars simply because YOU DID NOT WRITE A PART NUMBER CLEARLY.
-
What is done once your work center determines that a part is required?
Maintenance control assigns the Project and Priority codes that material control uses to requisition the part.
-
Are project codes mandatory on Navy requisitions?
Yes, their absence is cause for rejection.
-
Where can you find complete listings of project codes?

How does maintenance control assign a priority to individual material requisitions?
According to the military importance and the urgency of need of the item.

The Force/Activity Designator (FAD) and urgency-of-need.
-
What will happen if you give an incorrect part number to material control and the part is not available locally (on the station or ship)?
The SK will cross-reference the NSN to the wrong item, and the order will not meet your requirements; the most common result of this type of error is additional downtime (nonflyable status) for the aircraft you are trying to repair.
-
What is done when the wrong part arrives at your squadron?
You must reorder the part and use the correct part number. Then, you must wait while supply processes the order again.

-
When does the term next higher assembly refer to?

-
Do all SM&Rs have six positions?
No.
-

-
Who influences the operation of your squadron or AIMD material control center?

-
What is the Master Cross-Reference List (MCRL)?
It provides cross-reference information from a reference number (a manufacturer’s part number, a drawing number, or a design control number) to its NSN.
-
What type items are listed in the Master Repairable Item List (MRIL) (NAVSUP P-4107)?
Those items of Navy-managed repairable items issued on a one-for-one basis (you must turn in the unserviceable item before you can draw a replacement item from supply).
-
What items are listed in the Consolidated Remain in Place List (CRIPL-01)?
Items that are exempt from the mandatory one-for-one-turn in.
-
What does the Individual Component Repair List (ICRL) let intermediate maintenance activity (IMA) personnel determine?
If they can repair an individual item based on its SM&R code.
-
