Aviation maintenance controllers/production controllers are responsible for planning, directing, and controlling the performance and execution of Aviation Maintenance Department functions at the organizational and intermediate levels. They are responsible for technician aircraft maintenance and aeronautical repair that ensure the unit's combat readiness or ability to perform its mission. They must be able to establish department goals and to develop the plans to meet those goals.

Commanding Officers are responsible for the inspection and quality of materials under their cognizance; however, aviation quality assurance representatives, collateral duty quality assurance representatives, and collateral duty inspectors are accountable to the quality assurance officer and aircraft maintenance officer within the Maintenance Department.

Aircraft maintenance chiefs supervise the establishment and functions of a fixed-wing/helicopter/tiltrotor/unmanned aerial vehicle maintenance and repair activity. They assist in directing, supervising, and coordinating the activities of aviation-enlisted personnel performing aircraft maintenance duties.

Aircraft power plants test cell operators, inspect, test, and perform corrective maintenance to aircraft gas turbine engines and engine systems. Perform test cell operations and minor repairs to test cells. This MOS will be assigned only to qualified aircraft power plants mechanics, MOSs 6122, 6123, 6124, 6222, 6223, 6226, and 6227.

Aircraft nondestructive inspection technicians perform non destructive testing of metals in aircraft structures and aircraft/engine components. This MOS will be assigned only to qualified Aircraft Structures or Hydraulic Pneumatic Mechanics, MOSs 6062, 6092, 615X or 625X.

Individual material readiness list asset managers manage Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) asset inventories on Local Asset Management Systems (LAMS), as set forth by the Naval Aviation Maintenance program (NAMP) and the Aircraft Maintenance Material Readiness List (AMMRL) Program at IMRL program reporting activities.

Aircraft welders fabricate and repair aircraft metals through basic welding using the Gas/Tungston/Arc/Welding (GTAW) process on aluminum alloys, steel alloys, stainless steel alloys, and precipitating hardening nickel based alloys. This MOS will be assigned only to qualified Aircraft Structures Mechanics, MOS 6092.

Aircraft maintenance administration specialist maintain aircraft log books, naval aircraft maintenance publications/files, and prepare reports, logs records, directives, and correspondence in an aircraft maintenance and repair activity. Initial formal training is at the Aviation Maintenance Administration Course at the Naval Air Station, Meridian, MS.
