Cheat Sheet
- Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) -
A cornerstone in any preventative maintenance quiz, PMCS follows Technical Order 00-20-1 and AFI 21-101 to keep equipment mission-ready. Use the mnemonic "I PACED" (Inspect, Protect, Act, Clean, Evaluate, Document) to remember each step on forms like TO 1F-16C-1-2 for F-16 landing gear. Practical drills - such as completing a sample PMCS card under timed conditions - reinforce real-world proficiency.
- Technical Order (TO) Numbering & Navigation -
Essential for answering 2AX7X CDC Volume 1 questions, the TO numbering system (e.g., TO 00-5-1 for general instructions, TO 1C-130A-9-1 for maintenance index) helps you locate data fast. Recall the "GMMI" mnemonic: General, Methods, Maintenance Index, Illustrated Parts Breakdown to navigate any manual. Familiarity with page and figure references speeds up look-ups during hands-on tasks.
- Structured Troubleshooting Process -
At the heart of any Air Force troubleshooting quiz lies the six-step troubleshooting model from AFMAN 21-101: Identify Malfunction, Analyze Cause, Plan Repair, Isolate Fault, Repair, and Perform Functional Check. Use "IAPIRP" (I Identify, Analyze, Plan, Isolate, Repair, Perform) to embed the flow in memory. For example, isolating a hydraulic leak by pressure checks and seal inspections mimics real-world scenarios.
- Trend Analysis & Reliability Metrics -
Vital for a trend analysis quiz, calculating Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF = total operating hours ÷ number of failures) reveals reliability patterns over time. If a generator logs 2,400 flight hrs with 3 failures, its MTBF is 800 hrs - critical for scheduling predict maintenance. Plotting results on simple line charts helps spot performance drifts before they become safety issues.
- Accurate Maintenance Documentation -
A core pillar of the Air Force maintenance protocols quiz, proper use of the AFTO Form 781 series (781H, 781A, 781K) ensures traceability and compliance with AFI 21-101. Remember "HAAK" (781H, A, A, K) to distinguish Health Usage, Aircraft, and Components logs. Logging a turbine oil change on the correct form section builds habits that prevent administrative errors in high-tempo environments.
