The LCAP provides leadership an evaluation of a unit's ability to perform key logistics processes in a safe, standardized, repeatable and technically compliant manner. The assessment is a graded, and uses a five-tier rating scale (outstanding, excellent, satisfactory, marginal and unsatisfactory). In 2009, Dyess received an overall satisfactory rating. The inspection lasts five working days and will be conducted on all working maintenance shifts. Assessments are rated as pass or fail and include over-the-shoulder evaluations of unit quality assurance inspectors performing personnel evaluations and quality verification inspections. For any items not compliant, squadrons will correct the issue on the spot or, if necessary, develop an action plan and document what they're doing to correct the problem. "Maintenance Airmen are required to follow technical orders step by step to ensure Aircraft maintenance activities are executed in a safe and efficient manner, without causing any preventable damage in the process " said, Capt. Jon Van Nostrand, 7 MXG LCAP lead. The maintenance teams have been preparing for the inspection since December, 2010.
