10-7.1. GENERAL. The initial emergency salvage steps taken at the Organization/Unit level are only designed to stop further corrosion damage, particularly to avionic equipment exposed to salt water, water immersion, or fire extinguishing agents. The ability to immediately induct avionic equipment into the IMA for cleaning, drying, preservation, repair, and operational check is limited. In many cases, the equipment may not be accessible for some time depending upon an Accident Investigation Board. It is essential that the IMA be ready to provide services after major multi-aircraft incidents.
10-7.2. EMERGENCY RECLAMATION TEAM. The Intermediate Maintenance Activity Emergency Reclamation Team Officer will assist the Maintenance Control Officer in establishing an initial screening of avionic equipment. Both officers will determine the condition of each piece of equipment and whether the Intermediate Maintenance Activity has the capability to
execute further reclamation. Repairable equipment damaged beyond the capability of local repair shall be cleaned, preserved, packaged and forwarded to the appropriate maintenance repair facility for screening and repair in accordance with applicable service directives.
10-7.2.1. (N) Tagging. Units to be shipped to the appropriate maintenance repair facility for further disassembly, cleaning, preservation, repair, and operational check shall be tagged (Water/Crash/Fire Damage Form, NAVAIR 3750/1 or Water/Crash/Fire Damage Form label NAVAIR 4035/13 (Volume IV, Chapter 2)). The tags shall indicate the type of cleaning and preservation, in accordance with Volume II of this manual. Post tags on outside of shipping container of damaged part.
10-7.2.2. (AF) Tagging. All parts and components removed from the aircraft, missile, or equipment shall be “green” tagged (DD Form 1577-3) for identification, description of the accident/incident experienced, listing of the contaminants and chemical materials to which they were exposed, and to indicate the type of CPC applied. CPC’s shall be removed prior to reusing the equipment.
10-7.3. INITIAL SCREENING PROCEDURE. Avionic equipment that is damaged beyond local repair capability must be inspected to see if it was adequately cleaned and preserved. Equipment shall be cleaned and preserved, as appropriate, prior to packaging and shipment to the next level repair activity. Each piece of avionic equipment will be screened to determine the following:
a. Extent of damage. b. Local repair capability. c. Cleaning method. d. Drying method. e. Preservation method.
10-7.4. CLEANING PRIORITY. After initial screening, cleaning priority will be established by the IMA Emergency Reclamation Team Officer.
10-7.5. DISASSEMBLY INSPECTION PROCEDURE. The extent of damage by smoke, heat, or flame must be determined. Most avionic equipment contains dissimilar
metals and particular attention shall be given to dissimilar metal joints. Equipment exposed to salt water, water immersion, and fire extinguishing agents shall be inspected as follows:
Solvent, Degreasing 7
MIL-PRF-680
a. Remove Corrosion Preventive Compounds, MIL-C-81309, MIL-DTL-85054, MIL-L-87177, and MIL-PRF-16173 with Degreasing Solvent, MIL-PRF-680 Type III (Volume IV or V, Chapter 2), to facilitate inspection.
b. Remove all covers, access panels, modules, and normally removed components.
c. Examine the individual items thoroughly for evidence of salt water, fire extinguishing agents, smoke, oil films, heat, and fire damage.
d. Examine the individual items for evidence of corrosion.
e. Examine encapsulated and conformal coated laminated circuit boards for damage caused by salt water, fire extinguishing agents, and cleaning solvents. Pay particular attention to conformal coatings and circuit board laminates that are discolored, softened, or deformed.
f. Examine electrical cables, wires, and harnesses for signs of damage and deterioration from cleaning solvents. Pay particular attention to any signs of softened or cracked wire coating.
g. Disassemble and inspect electrical connectors and receptacles for damage and signs of corrosion. Pay particular attention to seals and gaskets.
h. Examine hermetically scaled components for damage and signs of deterioration from cleaning solvents. Pay particular attention to hermetically sealed pressurized equipment. Broken sealed units shall be forwarded to next higher level of maintenance if considered beyond local repair capability.
i. Examine electric motors, generators, inverters, miniature synchro transmitters, and receivers for
damage. Pay particular attention to lubricated fittings and sealed bearings.
j. Examine control boxes for damage and signs of deterioration from cleaning solvents. Pay particular attention to faceplates, seals, and rubber boots around toggle switches and knobs.
k. Examine shock mounts, mounting racks, cases, chassis, and cover plates for buckling, disfiguration, and fire damage. Check painted surfaces for cracks or nicks. Pay particular attention to rubber shock mounts. l. Disassemble and inspect all components for smoke and heat damage.
10-7.5.1. Undamaged Items. Items that show no signs of damage or corrosion shall be functionally checked in accordance with the applicable service directives. Equipment shall be put back into service in accordance with established procedures.
10-7.5.2. Damaged Items. Those items that show damage shall be repaired as specified by the applicable service directives.
10-7.6. EMERGENCY CLEANING AND PRESERVATION PROCEDURES. The cleaning and preservation procedures shall be as follows:
a. Equipment exposed to salt water, water immersion, or fire extinguishing agents and cleaned at the Organizational/Unit Maintenance Activity, shall be inspected as specified in paragraph 10-7.5. General corrosion removal and preservation shall be as specified in Chapters 4 and 9.
b. Equipment exposed to salt water, water immersion, or fire extinguishing agents and not cleaned at the Organizational/Unit Maintenance Activity, shall be cleaned as specified in paragraph 10-4.
(1) Where possible, use the primary cleaning method outlined in paragraph 10-4.2.
(2) For equipment to be put back into service, dry as specified in paragraph 10-5.2. Preserve as specified in Chapter 5.
(3) For equipment to be sent to depot for processing, dry and preserve as specified in paragraph 10-5.2.
Distribution:
To be distributed in accordance with the initial distribution number (IDN) 313397, requirements for TM 1-1500-344-23-3.
