Which record tracks a specific piece of gear on loan from I-level?

• A. Aircrew Personal Equipment Record (OPNAV 4790/159)
• B. Aircrew Systems Record (OPNAV 4790/138)
• C. VIDS/MAF (OPNAV 4790/60)
• D. Support Equipment Preoperational Record (OPNAV 4790/52)

Answer: (B)

Tracking a piece of gear loaned from I-level requires a record that specifically documents aircrew equipment as a system, including items issued on temporary loan, with details like item description, part/serial number, issue date, return date, and condition. The Aircrew Systems Record is designed for this purpose, serving as the official ledger for equipment issued to aircrew and managed through the maintenance and issue cycle. It ensures accountability and readiness by keeping track of where the item is, its status, and any maintenance or inspection needs while it’s not permanently assigned to a single user. The other forms serve different purposes: the Aircrew Personal Equipment Record is for personal gear issued to the aircrew member, not typically for items borrowed from I-level; VIDS/MAF handles maintenance actions on aircraft and components rather than tracking loaned gear; and the Support Equipment Preoperational Record covers preoperational checks for ground support equipment, not aircrew-issued gear.
