In the Air National Guard, Tactical Aircraft Maintenance specialists are tasked with taking care of aircraft when pilots aren't flying them, ensuring they're repaired and maintained to be ready at any time.  This involves supervising flight and crew chiefs, conducting quality assurance tests and overseeing maintenance support functions. In many regards, this role is as important to the successful deployment of Air Force aircraft as the pilots who fly them. There is a lengthy list of responsibilities for these airmen, which varies slightly depending where they're stationed and what aircraft they're assigned. But in all circumstances, aircraft maintenance specialists perform end-of-runway, post-flight, preflight, thru-flight and phase inspections. They also perform integrated combat turns and hot pit refuels, advise on problems maintaining, servicing and inspecting aircraft and related aerospace equipment, and troubleshoot and maintain aircraft structures, systems, components, and related equipment. In addition, these airmen remove and install aircraft components, conduct functional tests of repaired components and systems and adjust, align and rig aircraft systems. It's up to them to supervise aircraft being jacked, lifted or towed. Another key part of the tactical aircraft maintenance specialist's job is to conduct inspections of aircraft, including structures, systems, components and related systems. They'll then interpret inspection findings and determine what of corrective actions might need to be taken.  And finally, tactical aircraft maintenance specialists coordinate the maintenance plans for Air Force aircraft, assist and supervise launching and recovering aircraft, perform crash recovery duties as well as staff and supervisory management functions.
