Who does the Aircraft Parts Store (APS) contact to verify a MICAP condition?

The Aircraft Parts Store (APS) contacts the Maintenance Production Superintendent to verify a MICAP (Mission Impaired Capability Awaiting Parts) condition because this individual is responsible for overseeing the maintenance of aircraft and ensuring that all parts required for operation are available and accounted for. The Maintenance Production Superintendent has the authority and knowledge of ongoing maintenance activities, which allows them to accurately assess whether a part is truly needed to restore aircraft capability.

This role involves coordinating with various maintenance personnel and is crucial in determining the urgency and necessity of obtaining parts that fall under MICAP reporting. Therefore, this direct line of communication helps streamline the repair processes and ensures that the right parts are prioritized for ordering, thus maintaining aircraft readiness.
