What is the primary objective of the CEMS? |
To obtain accurate information on the status, condition, and location of aircraft engines, gearboxes, and modules in the AF inventory
|
|
|

What is used to collect and store information provided by different engine reporting systems? |
Comprehensive Engine Management Systems (CEMS) collects the information and stores it in a central database (CDB)
|
|
|
025
What are the primary objectives of the engine reporting system? |
Maintain accurate and timely engine inventories as well as surveillance of base repair, transportation, overhaul, and historical data in order to forecast funding and replacement requirements
|
|
|
025
What section monitors engine removals and replacements and tracks components at the base level? |
Base-Level Engine Management (EMB) sections
|
|
|
025
What are some functions of CEMS? |
Provides for AF readiness through the condition of information which, when accumulated, indicates the overall view of operational capability; answer the question of how many engines and components are available at any one time; and provides for cost-effective use of available resources, since it allows components and engines to shift from places of excess to high-need areas
|
|
|
025
What are the two categories of status reporting? |
The first is for engine modules; and the second is for tracked components
|
|
|
026
What is the purpose of the AFTO IMT 95? |
For maintaining a permanent history of significant maintenance actions on end items of equipment including, but not limited to, aerospace vehicles, engines, engine modules, and designated -6 TO components
|
|
|
026
What should you do if automated data system is not available for engine status reporting? |
Use the AFTO IMT 95 to collect the data manually and in sufficient detail to update automated systems when practical

What is the purpose of the Lead the Fleet/Pacer Engine Program? |
To determine actual distress modes of an engine and its subsystem in the field
|
|
|
027
What is the Lead the Fleet/Pacer Program? |
An accelerated mission usage program that assists in maturing the engine, modules, line replaceable units (LRUs), shop replaceable units (SRUs), and there subsystems
|
|
|
027
What type of information does the Lead the Fleet/Pacer Program provide? |
Early intelligence on equipment integrity, reliability, and maintainability before the majority of the fleet is impacted, engineering data and procurement lead times for orderly updating and modification of the engine, engine controls, and accessories
|
|
|
027
List the Lead the Fleet/Pacer Program objectives. |
1. Accelerate pacer items ahead of the operational fleet to identify potential premature engine component failures, enable analysis of trends, failure mode/rates, and assist in defining the required corrective actions prior to maturity of the remaining fleet. 2. Accurately update scheduled maintenance requirements. Safely extend hardware limits. 3. Rapidly advance item maximum life limits so they are consistent with the capability of the hardware.

027
How do participating units manage the Pacer engines? |
At twice the normal flying rate until the items are, at a minimum, two years ahead of the top 10 percent (high time) fleet engines
|
|
|
027
Which program does the Lead the Fleet/Pacer Program support? |
The overall engine life cycle management plan
