Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited 12/3/2012

Background
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Started in 2008 due to field communication issues, and to track down reasons for missing data Currently there are 7 AFBs operating the F-22
Scattered among several MAJCOMs: ACC, PACAF, AETC, AFFTC and ANG Visit 1 per quarter

Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited 12/3/2012

Format
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Brief OG and MXG commanders on usage and overarching topics Meet with AMUs and FSs to discuss issues on the unit level Meet with the LO shop to go over any coatings issues and stripping techniques Meet with the NDI shop to discover any complications with tools or procedures Meet with ACC representatives to cover not only base issues but the fleet as a whole*
*Only occurs at ACC HQ base
Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited 12/3/2012

Purpose
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Present current usage and discuss ways to alleviate severity Make sure commanders are knowledgeable about who we are and what we do
Rotate ~ every 2 years

Provide communication channels for any future problems Alert field of any upcoming/ongoing issues, find out any issues the field is experiencing unbeknownst to the SPO

Weight Reduction
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Reducing weight by removing stores to minimum requirements


4% life savings, which works out to ~2 more years of service

Saving high G maneuvers until later in flight


Lower fuel weight

Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited 12/3/2012

12

Flight Procedures
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Distance to range restrictions


Range is close to base, less chance to burn fuel weight before maneuvering

G warm-up maneuvers
Accounts for 10% of all high Nz events Recommended performing at higher altitude to lower wing loads

Software
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Software update added an ICAW from Over-G monitoring that was not in previous OFPs
Field started seeing ICAWs, mostly during demo flights, and was unaware of the cause

Further update resulted in a nuisance OverG Hard Landing ICAW that asserted on startup
Happened randomly and only on some jets

Meeting with the field/pilots allowed us to address the changes in the flight software so they were aware and could alter their planning accordingly

NDI
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

Ultrasonic inspections were shut off to protect aircraft safety


TOD was generically created and for old UT systems Ensure that bases were submitting an AR to get proper procedures AR database can be accessed to match inspections without submitting new request

Tasks currently being reworked
