AIMD AIMD DEPARTMENT Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department CAIMDD overcame all odds in providing maintenance support to the Air Wing. Their task is the off-aircraft component repair and indirect aircraft support established to complement each squadron's effort in keeping their aircraft flyable. AIMD's make-up is of both ship's company and squadron-assigned mechanics, metalsmiths, and technicians. 330 strong able bodied men with their highly specialized training and collective teamwork has been molded into an organization of total support. The success story of AIMD is determined in the optimum reliability of Air Wing aircraft. Independent in function but working in unison toward this common goal and the four separate divisions which make-up AIMD. IM-1 is the Administrative Division of the department. This division provides the departmental office and staff, the Data Analysis branch, Quality Assurance, and Production Control Maintenance. Included also in IM-1 is the ships' C-1A COD, ever vigilant in flying passengers and mail to and from the ship. IM-2 is the General Maintenance Division, responsible for the tear down and repair of a large variety of aircraft engines. These mechanics also provide spetrometric analysis of assorted machine lubricants. The metalsmiths perform all off-aircraft structural and hydraulic repairs, as well as the sophisticated non- destructive testing. Survival equipment, oxygen systems and parachutes are handled in the IM-2 Paraloft. The largest division in AIMD, accounting for over half of the men, is IM-3, the Avionics Division. This group of professionals perform the highly specialized technical repair on Aircraft Communication and Navigation gear, Electrical components, Fire Control Radar components, Electronic Counter Measure Systems, Automated Test Equipment and related computer components for the E-2B and A-6E, and the ship's very flexible calibration laboratory. ' Finally, there is the crew of metalsmiths and technicians in Ground Support or IM-4 Division, whose peculiar talents keep the ship's 400 pieces of Yellow Gear operating, on both the flight and hangar decks. 1 J l i l 1 ll l l l l l 1 l . 1
