Working on the actual aircraft itself: Fuselage, wings, tail section (the actual structure).
Not the landing gear, instruments, engine, lights, fuel lines, wires, etc.
1. Aircraft bodies are called the "fuselage."
2. Ship and tank bodies are called the "hull."
3. The body of a car is sometimes called the chasis (which is really the under-carriage or the steel frame supporting the car's body).
4. The main body of a firearm is called the "reciever (and/or frame or action)."
AFEM-AFM 900-3 refers to a specific Air Force Instruction that outlines the procedures and guidelines for the Air Force's Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP). This instruction focuses on ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of aircraft structures through systematic inspections, evaluations, and maintenance practices. It serves as a framework for managing the structural integrity of Air Force aircraft and ensuring compliance with safety standards.
The job responsible for making plane parts in the Air Force is typically referred to as an "Aircraft Structural Maintenance Technician" or "Aircraft Maintenance Technician." These professionals work on the structural components of aircraft, ensuring they are manufactured, repaired, and maintained to meet safety and performance standards. Additionally, roles in aircraft manufacturing and engineering may also involve creating parts for military aircraft.
The Form 700 is the R.A.F, aircraft maintenance log book.
Aircraft maintenance squadrons typically form a maintenance group in the U.S. Air Force. These squadrons are responsible for maintaining and repairing aircraft, as well as supporting equipment and facilities to ensure the operational readiness of the aircraft.
The name is Air Force, not Land Force or Sea Force. They do, however, have to land their aircraft on a regular basis to refuel and do maintenance and all that sort of stuff. And you can find them in space as well.
Not all aircraft in the Air Force are owned by the Air force or military. A lot of them are leased from companies like Boeing or Lockheed.
Air Force One is any aircraft that the president is currently riding in. Usually he has his own aircraft but any time he changes aircraft, it becomes "Air Force One."
The air force parks its aircraft on parking ramps, Protective Aircraft Shelters (PAS), and in Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS).
Air Force One is the Air Traffic Control call sign for any aircraft carrying the president. Air Force Two can be an identical aircraft, carrying the Vice President.
AFT Form 781D is a document used in the U.S. Air Force for aircraft maintenance documentation. It specifically pertains to the "Maintenance Data Collection" and is part of the series of forms used to track maintenance activities, discrepancies, and inspections for aircraft. This form helps ensure proper record-keeping and compliance with maintenance standards and regulations.
The most expensive Aircraft in the U.S. Air Force is the E-8C JSTARS. Today's cost for each aircraft is 366 Million Dollars.
The Military Airlift Command was the Air Force command responsible for all the Air Force's transport aircraft. In 1992, the Air Force merged MAC's transport aircraft with Strategic Air Command's refueling aircraft and named the new major command Air Mobility Command.
