The Helicopter Program at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRC Southwest) involves Planned Maintenance Interval One and Two for many helicopters utilized by the US Navy and Marines. FRCSW services these aircraft at NAS North Island and MCB Camp Pendleton in California, as well as MCAS Yuma, Arizona and MCAS Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE INTERVAL ONE & TWO (PMI 1/PMI 2)

The PMI 1 and PMI 2 programs are essential to the NAVAIR long-range vision of increased reliability and reducing the number of hours involved in maintaining aircraft, the Integrated Maintenance Concept. By adding Airframe and Avionics Changes during the PMI process, an improvement in workflow and efficiency has been realized while reducing downtime. These programs were first pioneered at FRCSW, and have been expanded to include the helicopter line.
