Publisher's Synopsis
This United States Army manual, Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-04.7 Army Aviation Maintenance October 2020, provides techniques concerning aviation maintenance operations from aviation brigade to platoon level. The primary focus of this ATP involves performing maintenance, across the aviation brigade, within an aviation maintenance company (AMC) and aviation support company (ASC). It also includes information for sustainment-enabling organizations at echelons above brigade across the Army sustainment enterprise. The principle audience for ATP 3-04.7 are commanders, maintenance leaders, officers, noncommissioned officers (NCOs), maintenance technicians, and maintenance trainers. The term 'aircraft' refers to all Army aircraft types (rotary wing [RW] aircraft, fixed-wing [FW] aircraft, and unmanned aircraft systems [UAS]); unless a specific aircraft has been identified in this publication. The terms combat aviation brigade (CAB) and AMC align with the Army's force design for Army Aviation. Terms and definitions for which this publication is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized, and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. ATP 3-04.7 applies to all Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, United States Army Reserve, civilian, and contract maintenance personnel. Commanders must consider the contents of this document and the specific circumstances in which they find themselves (national military objectives, available forces, threat capabilities, and rules of engagements) when planning maintenance operations.
