Forum: F-16 Procedures

Could anybody answer this question? In USAF, which specialty (APG, Engine, Avionic, Electrician,..) is responsible for what kind of jop on F-16? Is there any specific jop responsiblities chart or terms of reference in USAF?

2A6X1 - AEROSPACE PROPULSION

Specialty Summary: Inspects, maintains, modifies, tests, and repairs propellers, turboprop and turboshaft engines, jet engines, small gas turbine engines, and engine ground support equipment (SE). Manages aerospace propulsion functions and activities. Related DOD Occupational Subgroup: 601.

Duties and Responsibilities:Plans, organizes, and directs aerospace propulsion maintenance activities. Interprets and implements directives and publications pertaining to maintenance functions, including environmentally safe maintenance practices. Determines resource requirements, including facilities, equipment, and supplies. Inspects and evaluates maintenance activities.

Advises, performs troubleshooting, and determines repair procedures on aircraft engines. Diagnoses and repairs malfunctions using technical publications. Solves maintenance problems by studying drawings, wiring and schematic diagrams, technical instructions, and analyzing operating characteristics of aircraft engines and propellers. Inspects, certifies, and approves completed maintenance actions.

Removes, installs, inspects, repairs, and modifies engines, engine modules and components, and propellers and propeller components. Disassembles and assembles engines and propellers adhering to prescribed procedures. Prepares engines and propellers for installation, storage, or transportation. Tests components using bench mockups and test equipment. Installs and removes engines on test stands, and operates, evaluates, and performs test stand functions on engines. Accomplishes operator maintenance on test stands. Inspects and maintains engine ground SE. Operates and performs operator inspections on related SE. Selects, uses, and cares for special tools, hand tools, and test equipment. Uses and disposes of hazardous waste and materials.

Analyzes, interprets, and recommends maintenance actions based on unscheduled engine removals and engine monitoring system data. Coordinates with the base engine manager to analyze scheduled engine removals; recommends forecast actions to the weekly or monthly maintenance schedules.

...but take this with a grain of salt.

A jet engine mechanic (AKA AEROSPACE PROPULSION CRAFTSMAN) may be assigned to a flying AMU or a MXS (Maintenance Squadron) If in an AMU that person would be a specialized crew-chief of sorts to perform line maintenance and engine inspections; while the person assigned to an MXS would be in JEIM (Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance) and perform engine build up/tear down, or uninstalled testing.

Crew Chiefs can also be assigned to the line, or in an inspection capacity. (like a phase dock) so even their job duties will change depending on the actual area of assignment.

Being assigned to the AFSC does allow for the person to be assigned to any area needed. So a person may do something specific at one base, but totally different at a new assignment.

Sir, I am aware of what you provide with your message about Specialty Codes in USAF but in real F-16 community I think something is different.
I wonder that how many section or shop constitute an AMU and MXS, and could you be more specific to say that which shop inludes what specialty? For example I heard that in USAF typical an F-16 AMU is made up of tree different shop ( A, B, C shop ). A Shop is made up of mechanic, crew cheif, hydraulic on the other hand A Shop is made up of Electrician and Environmental Control Sytem specialty and finaly C Shop is made up of Avionic shop. Unfortuanetly I couldn't get any information about typical F-16 MXS.

There are hundreds of task to perform on F-16. What I wonder is that; Who is responsible what kind of task? How do you determine who is responsible a specific work on F-16?

Looks like TEG answered pretty clearly last December. What about his answer did you not understand?
