(1) OCM concept for aircraft depot repair candidates is used in
place of using accumulated flying hours or calendar time.
(2) ACE guides are established for each aircraft within a
mission, type, design and series.
(3) A profile threshold is established by AMCOM. Aircraft
meeting or exceeding the established threshold are candidates for
programmed depot maintenance. Analysis of ACE data enables AMCOM to
call aircraft into depot maintenance by serial number on a "worst
case basis".
(4) MACOMs will be provided the Department of the Army approved
retrograde schedule of aircraft requiring programmed depot
maintenance for the ensuing fiscal year by mission, type, design,
series and serial number. The induction schedule will be finalized
60 days prior to the start of each quarter.
