REPORTING EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (EIR)
If the Standard Aircraft Maintenance Trailer needs improvement, let us know. Send us an EIR. You, the user, are the
only one who can tell us what you do not like about your equipment. Let us know why you do not like the design or
performance. If you have Internet access, the easiest and fastest way to report problems or suggestions is to go to
https://aeps.ria.army.mil/aepspublic.cfm (scroll down and choose the "Submit Quality Deficiency Report" bar). The In-
ternet form lets you choose to submit an EIR, a Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR) or a Warranty Claim Action
(WCA). You may also submit your information using an SF 368 (PQDR). You can send your SF 368 via e-mail, regular
mail or facsimile using the addresses/facsimile numbers specified in DA PAM 750-8, The Army Maintenance Manage-
ment System (TAMMS) Users Manual. We will send you a reply.
CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
CPC of Army material is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so
that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items. Corrosion
specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It is commonly
caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage in metals
can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking. Plastics, com-
posites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen), salvation (sol-
vents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or light. Damage
from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking. SF 368, PQDR should be submit-
ted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual.
