It supports all of the squadrons assigned to the ship by providing inter- mediate-level maintenance on compo- nents and sub-systems of the aircraft which the squadrons carry. Without AIMD, the aircraft would quickly experi- ence excessive down time due to the rigorous missions they fly. AIMD keeps the aircraft flying using I2 work centers manned by 58 sailors and a Marine augmentation. During the cruise, AIMD was headed by LCDR J .E. Willford, who, transferred and was replaced by LCDR Steven M. Williams. The MaintenancefMaterial Control Officer is CWO2 Homer C. Tondo and the Leading Chief Petty Offi- cer is AF CM Leroy Fulmer. The heart and brain of AIMD is the Production Control Center. It's role is to 28 direct all of the maintenance done in all the work centers. It also is the adminis- trative and requisitioning center of AIMD. The memory of AIMD is the Quality Assurance Center. Q.A. monitors and manages various maintenance pro- grams. It tracks data for trend analysis and maintains a complete Aviation Technical Publication library which requires continuous updating. Power Plants Shop's main purpose is to perform engine acceptance inspec- tions and repair of dynamic compo- nents, like rotor hubs and drive shafts. The Airfrarnes Work Center manufac- tures and repairs aircraft structural components too complicated for the embarked squadrons to repair. They also perform Non-Destructive Inspection tests which detect structural component defects too small to see with the human eye. I The Hydraulics Work Center manu- factures hoses and tubes for aircraft hydraulic systems. Paraloft is responsible for maintaining aviation survival equipment, like life rafts and vests. COMXNAV repairs and aligns all communication, navigation and elec- tronic countermeasure equipment in the squadron aircraft. ELECTRICALXINSTRUMENT per- forms tests and repairs on aircraft instruments and flight control systems. The Calibration Laboratory is respon- sible for the proper calibration of torque and pressure equipment used to per- form maintenance and to monitor equip- ment. Support Equipment services and repairs the ship's tow tractors, fork lifts and firefighting units, and other equip- ment used in moving and servicing air- craft. l l l l is lx l 3 I
