February 2010Protecting Readiness to Meet Today’s Challengesproviding all aviation support to Mojave Viper, OIF and OEF‐A pre‐deploymenttraining for all infantry battalions held in Twenty‐nine Palms, CA.Figure 32 displays RC flying hour readiness indicators. This level of combinedbaseline and contingency funding allows Navy and Marine Corps RC aircrews tomeet minimum flight time requirements, maintain readiness in all mission areas andmeet operational demands.Figure 32 – Reserve Component Flying Hour ProgramFY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011GOALTACAIR ‐ Navy T‐2.6 T‐2.6 T‐2.6 T‐2.6TACAIR ‐ USMC T‐2.0 T‐2.0 T‐2.0 T‐2.0Reserve Squadrons (%) 98% 98% 97% 98%Monthly Flying Hours per Crew (USNR & USMCR) 13.6 13.8 13.3 N/AReserve Component Aircraft Depot MaintenanceThe RC aircraft depot maintenance program is integrated with the ActiveComponent program to fund repairs, overhauls, and inspections, within availablecapacity, and to ensure sufficient quantities of aircraft are available to operationalunits. The goal of the airframe rework program is to provide enough airframes tomeet 90% of Primary Authorized Aircraft (PAA) for non‐deployed squadrons for theActive and Reserve Components. The engine rework program objective is to obtainzero net bare firewalls and fill 90% of authorized spare requirements for each RCengine type/model/series (TMS) by returning engines/modules to a Ready‐for‐Issue(RFI) status. Other depot maintenance includes the repair of aeronauticalcomponents for aircraft systems and equipment under direct contractor logisticssupport.The FY 2011 budget provides optimized capability within fiscal constraints.
