It covers commander and flight chief duties, inventory procedures, TCMax® and alternate accountability records, and aircrew equipment control. It requires positive equipment accountability, cyber safeguards, removable-media scanning, incident reporting, and documented training.
Applies to: All tools/equipment/electronic devices that are dispatchable to the airfield/maintenance facilities that are used for aircraft maintenance will follow this instruction.
Program must include an inventory process for items leaving/returning from jobs out on the airfield/maintenance facilities (e.g., 19MXG Form 232 or TCMax®). (paragraph 2)
If TCMax® is used but not available (such as at a deployed location or during network outages), units will use the 19MXG Form 232 (CTK Checkout Log) or AF Form 1297 (Temporary Issue Receipt) for accountability and control of tools, equipment, composite tool kits (CTKs) and electronic devices. (paragraph 3)
Aircrew members must account for and maintain positive control of all equipment and personal items after each flight and ensure that any item lost during flight is documented on the AFTO Form 781A for that particular aircraft. (paragraph 4)
Only government equipment authorized by MDS or specialized equipment technical orders will be connected to Platform IT or other DoD IT via Universal Serial Bus (USB), card reader, cannon plug, Bluetooth, Infrared Red (IR), WiFi®, or other connection method yet developed. (paragraph 5)
Government personnel will scan all removable media to include Automated Computer Program Identification Number System (ACPINS), Removable Mass Media (RMM) cards, software downloaded from government sites, e.g. Automated Weight & Balance System (AWBS), Electronic Software Distribution System (ESDS), etc., and flight data or faults from aircraft which facilitate data transfer across an “Air Gap”.
