Responsibilities

Submit air station LCI reports. aircraft corrosion mapping reports. aircraft corrosion hot spot reports. aircraft corrosion mitigation reports, reports on the monitoring of the organic coating process. and the annual aircraft corrosion report

Complete the following by the mutually agreed timeline:

Fabricate test components and fixtures

Provide technical information to support aircraft engineering analysis

Provide corrosion program support and attend meetings designated by the CPM

Provide support to promulgate the ASB's strategic corrosion goals. The support shall require research, development, and improvements to corrosion control processes and policies

Participate in LC ls as the Corrosion Representative at air station units IA W CGTO PG 85-00-300. LCls typically last five (5) days

Manage corrosion mapping program for Government airframes. Perform quality assurance of the data submitted on MPC cards. Within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of corrosion mapping documentation from the Government, approve and release the aircraft Corrosion Mapping ALMIS report. Within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of corrosion mapping documentation from the Government, provide a corrosion mapping report for that aircraft to the CPM. The corrosion mapping report shall include environmental data that affected the corrosion on the aircraft, the locations of the top ten corrosion occurrences ('hot spots') of corrosion, the top ten locations that required the most man hours to repair, corrosion mapping images from select 'hot spots', relevant photographic images of the aircraft taken by the Contractor as the aircraft is processed through the PDM cycle, and if appropriate, amplifying information about the aircraft corrosion

Provide a corrosion mitigation report for corrosion 'hot spots' identified by the CPM

The report shall identify the type(s) of corrosion, an analysis of the corrosion, the root cause(s) of the corrosion, and recommendations for corrosion mitigation. The recommendations shall include a method to measure the performance of the corrosion mitigation

Provide classroom and hands-on corrosion training. Develop curriculums and course materials for the training. Acquire necessary material (such as non-ready for issue or scrap components) for the training. All material used for training shall be approved by the CPM before use

Monitor, analyze, and compile reports with recommendations for corrosion prevention methods, corrosion testing procedures. corrosion technology insertion, storage preservation. And addressing specific or fleet aircraft corrosion issues. Communicate with ALC divisions. Air stations, DOD. and industry on technical issues related to corrosion prevention methods and technology

Review aerospace coating specifications to ensure they meet military and/or industry standards. Serve as a coating shop liaison. Provide weekly reports to the CPM. Make recommendations

Provide a single, combined annual report of areas of severe corrosion on each of the airframe types. Where corrosion mapping data is available, the report shall include, but is not limited to, the locations of the top ten corrosion occurrences ('hot spots') of corrosion, the locations of the top ten locations that required the most man hours to repair, corrosion mapping images from each 'hot spot', relevant photographic images of the hot spots, and amplifying information about the aircraft corrosion

Support engineering analyses by providing technical data, drawings. schematics, and information of aircraft systems and components. The technical information shall be derived from MPCs, technical manual, publications, drawings, OEM documents, or anecdotal sources

Perform fabrication of test components, equipment, fixtures, and other requirements as determined by the ASB. This shall include using various ALC workspaces, power/hand tools, and machinery as necessary
