MAINTENANCE<br />
Page 10<br />
When it comes to maintenance, platoons tend to dissolve. The crew chiefs and maintenance pilots<br />
of <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Company</strong> work as a team in our hangar to get the job done. We all rotate through the<br />
schedule, when our flight rotation ends, we work on the maintenance team until it is our turn to fly<br />
again. When we have an aircraft in phase, the production control team will choose a crew chief to<br />
work with our contractors to get the aircraft through the inspection. Lately, due to people going on<br />
leave, and various other reasons, the maintenance team has been a bit of a skeleton crew most of<br />
the time. The pool of crew chiefs has been a little thin, and everyone takes their turn on the flight<br />
schedule, including the maintenance officers. We get a lot of help from our civilian counterparts.<br />
They handle the phases and most of the heavy maintenance. Somehow, we manage to pull it off<br />
and maintain one of the best operational readiness rates in the battalion.
