Which system is used to account for man hours and for tracking and monitoring maintenance and inspections?

• A. Aircrew Personal Equipment Record (OPNAV 4790/159)
• B. Aircrew Systems Record (OPNAV 4790/138)
• C. VIDS/MAF (OPNAV 4790/60)
• D. Support Equipment Preoperational Record (OPNAV 4790/52)

Answer: (C)

Tracking maintenance work and the time spent on it is handled by the VIDS/MAF system, specifically the Maintenance Action Form (OPNAV 4790/60). This form is the record that captures each maintenance action, the man-hours charged, and the status of inspections and repairs. It provides a clear log of what work was done, who performed it, and when, which supports readiness planning, workload management, and keeping aircraft available for operations. Other records serve different purposes: the Aircrew Personal Equipment Record and Aircrew Systems Record track aircrew gear and systems, not maintenance hours; the Support Equipment Preoperational Record covers checks of ground support equipment before use. So the system for counting man-hours and tracking maintenance and inspections is VIDS/MAF.
