-assurance functions.

AFMC Supp 8.6.2 and 8.32.2.1 add:  Specific Training Requirements.  All QA personnel must be trained or possess sufficient technical knowledge to effectively

perform their duties.  The Maintenance Wing Quality Manual or QAP will identify specific technical and weapons system training requirements.  QA personnel are required to meet minimum qualifications on PAC certified tasks being assessed, and must meet

any qualification (mandatory formal training) requirements defined in AFMCI 21-108, Maintenance Training & Production Acceptance Certification (PAC) Program.

AFMC Supp 8.10.7 and 8.35.6.3 Personnel Evaluations (PE).  A PE is an evaluation of a maintenance action or inspection by an individual or team.   QA will provide notice not

AFMC Supp 10.4.2.4 and 10.12.2.4 Biennial Review.  Each tool kit type will be reviewed biennially for content and verification that the kit type contains the required type and quantity of tools.  This review will involve both management and production personnel and will focus on eliminating excess, duplicate and infrequently used tools.  The review will be documented and forwarded to the center tool manager.  If it is discovered during the review that numerous add-ons to TKCRLs have occurred for the majority of tool kits in a given skill, task, or work area, the supervisory function will ensure the template is updated for that particular skill, task or work area by adding the additional tools to the template and the TKCRL.  An updated TKCRL will then be printed and given to the personnel with that particular template.

AFMC Supp 10.8.1 Supervisors will ensure assigned personnel are familiar with lost

tool procedures.

AFMC Supp 10.8.1.4 If the item is not located, the local release authority will determine when the search may be discontinued.

pilot when communications beyond the standard EOR marshalling hand signals is required unless otherwise directed by MDS specific technical data.  If the air-craft is not equipped with a ground intercom system, ground control talker cards will be used when communication with the aircrew becomes necessary.

AFMC Supp 14.15.16 Fire Control Panel Operation in Hush Houses/Noise Suppressors.  This section applies to all Hush Houses/Noise Suppressors designed for enclosed aircraft

and uninstalled engine operation (e.g., T-9, T-10, T-1 1) with fire suppression systems control panels.  Management will ensure only qualified personnel are certified to use the hush house/noise suppressor fire control panel.  The following certification requirements apply:
