What are the 3 categories of periodic inspections for an AUR? 

A, C, and D

100

When inspecting the container humidity indicators, you notice the circle has turned white and shows no blue, pink or lavender. What is the likely cause of this? 

The indicator has probably become wet

100

If the LOW PRESSURE indicator light illuminates on the test set but the pneumatic pressure is not low, what action is to be taken? 

operate the PRESSURE RESET switch in order to reset the indicator. 

100

Do you place the AOTD inside the test set cavity when performing a "LEAD RESISTANCE TEST" ?

No. A short plug goes in place of an AOTD. 

100

What does the TS-4044B/D (GCS) test? 

Tests operation of GCS

200

What is a CAT A inspection? 

Sample inspection/test of All-Up-Round (AUR) missiles or GCS's in containers both have which have not been opened since last inspection.

200

You just dropped an unpackaged Target Detector on the floor from 2 inches. What is the required action? 

Reject it. unpackaged TD's dropped from any height are rejected.

200

Why is it important to properly "NULL" (or ZERO) the GCS during the test? 

Adjustment of both azimuth and elevation is critical to properly align GCS to IR source (simulator).


200

When shall the PTS-15 calibration test be carried out? (frequency)

Once per year

200

What does the Spring Pin Gauge test?

Safe-Arm selector handle spring pin 

300

!!DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!

What is a CAT C inspection? 

A complete inspection/test of AUR missiles or GCSs removed from the container for seven or more consecutive days but not flown on aircraft since last inspection.

300

You just dropped a Wing on the floor from a height of 4 feet. What is the required action? 

Inspect for damage. Continue using if not damage found. 

300

What is the torque value for the GCS nitrogen plug? 

50 in/lb +/- 10

300

If the test set fails its calibration test. What is the required action? 

Contact LCMM await further instruction

300

What does the Amptec 620A-4 Igniter Circuit Tester test? 

Tests GCS squib resistance, rocket motor igniter circuit

400

What is a CAT D inspection? 

Inspection/test of AUR missiles flown one or more times since last inspection. The category has 20 captive flights, 60 day and 180 day inspection requirements.

400

To check the Safe Arm selector handle spring, the spring pin inspection gauge must be used. How many pounds of pressure is applied and for what duration is the force applied? 

30 lbs @ 5 seconds

400

You get a "NO-GO" on test number 51. Before troubleshooting the problem, you must first repeat the test. How is this accomplished? Your test then passes, what is your next COA? 

Place test set switch into RESERVED position. Press and release the PROCEED button. Once GCS has a "GO", place switch into GCS position and press and release PROCEED

400

!! DOUBLE JEOPARDY !!

When should the PTS-15 LEAD RESISTANCE TEST be carried out? 

Quarterly or when the AOTD harness has been replaced. 

400

What does the 0-4 lb scale instrument test? 

Cager release-pull test

500

What event must occur for a missile to be downloaded and inspected for the following special inspection: "missile subjected to extreme vibration"

a missile subjected to over "G" during captive flight.
Inspect coupling rings and grooves, fins, wings. Inspect and test GCS. Replace AOTD

500

!! DOUBLE JEOPARDY !!

What is the cookoff time for a warhead? 

80 seconds

500

Prior to sending a GCS to depot level repair for failed test, what 4 things must you do as part of your due diligence? 

always question the IR target simulator (replace), the test set (perform self-test), the coolant tank (replace), and the umbilical cable (replace).


500

You just dropped a containerized TD from less than 1.5 feet (0.4572 m), what is the required action? 

Inspect IAW CFTO (Table 2 of WP006_02)

500

What is the Safety Clip Assembly device used for? 

To prevent unintended arming of the rocket motor and to provide an easily seen indication of rocket motor being in the SAFE position.
