Ultimate Goal Within Naval Aviation

Zero Incidents, Defects and Mishaps

Concept of QA

To Fundamentally Prevent The Occurence of Defects

Objectives of QA

- Improve the Safety of Flight and Ground Operations


- Improve the Quality, Uniformity, and Reliability of Aircraft and Equipment


- Improve the Quality of Maintenance Materials, Technical Data, and Processes


- Improve the Skills and Consistency in Performance of Maintenance Personnel


- Eliminate Unnecessary Man-Hours and Material Expenditures

Types of Inspections

Final Inspection


In-Process Inspection


Receipt/Screening Inspection

Final Inspection

Specific QA Functions Performed Following the Completion of a Maintenance Task when Proper Accomplishment of the Task can be Determined by Visual Inspection

In-Process Inspection

Required During the Perfomance of Maintenance where Satisfactory Accomplishment of the Task Cannot be Determined After the Task has been Completed (I.E. Witnessing Application of Torque, Functional Testing, Adjusting, Installation, etc.)

Receipt/Screening Inspection

Apply to Material, Components, Parts, Logs, and Records, CM Logsets, etc.



- Receipt Inspections are Normally Conducted to Identify the Material Received, Determine it's Condition and Maintenance Requirements, and Verify the Accuracy of Accompanying Records.

Audits

Periodic or On-Condition Evaluation of Compliance with Specified Policies/Procedures

Monitor

Physical Observance of a Process to Verify Compliance with Procedures

QA

Planned/Systematic Actions Taken to Verify that Items Conform to Specifications and Perform Satisfactorily

Inspection

Physical Examination and Testing of Aircraft, Engines, Equipment, Components, Parts, and Materials to Determine Conformance to Specifications

Personnel Assigned to QA Duties
