The 49th Equipment Maintenance Squadron Phase Inspection Section is responsible for performing intermediate maintenance on several dozen F-16 Vipers from the 849th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. During this aircraft inspection, they take the jet apart and inspect high-fail areas throughout the aircraft.
In 2019, the team shaved off 23K man hours while increasing their inspection rates by 20%. This revamp made them the fastest F-16 phase inspection team in the Air Force.
