Outstanding and completed maintenance
actions
NOTE: As on the T-34, the outstanding
and completed maintenance actions are
logged on the pink and yellow gripe sheets.
These sheets (Figure 3) are part of the
VIDS/MAF form (OPNAV Form 4790/60),
which is filled out during the maintenance
debriefing for that flight. The pink and
yellow gripe sheets are identical, being
copies of the original form.
The pink gripe sheet identifies outstanding
maintenance actions for the aircraft and is
offset from other maintenance forms to
make outstanding maintenance readily
apparent. Safety of flight maintenance
items are indicated by a mark in the DOWN
box. The aircraft cannot be flown if any
outstanding safety of flight maintenance
actions exist. Non-safety of flight
maintenance actions, indicated by a mark
in the UP box, indicate that the aircraft can
fly, but with reduced capability.
The yellow (manila colored) gripe sheet
identifies a maintenance action that has
been completed and will have an entry in
the CORRECTIVE ACTION block and
signatures in the following blocks:
CORRECTED BY, INSPECTED BY,
SUPERVISOR, and MAINT CONTROL.
When reviewing the gripe sheets, first verify
that there are no outstanding safety of flight
maintenance actions, indicated by a check
mark in the DOWN box at the bottom of a
pink gripe sheet. If no safety of flight
maintenance items exist, review the non-
safety of flight discrepancies, so you will
understand what capabilities (if any) the
aircraft lacks. Based on this information,
you can determine if the aircraft is
