Procedures and tests are outlined in TM 38-301-1 and 2. Equipment limits and trends are provided in TM 38-301-3.
Army results are uploaded to the Logistics Information Warehouse (LIW) and can be retrieved from it. Abnormal results are annotated on DA Form 3254R and 2407 or SAMS-E DA Form 5990E. However, processes for implementing sampling on new components, addition/subtraction of laboratory tests, and establishing/changing limits are not well documented. As mentioned in Section M.5.4.3, level and trend limits should be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that they are still applicable. M.6.2.2 Off-aircraft At-Line:
Any implementation of at-line testing should interoperate with the ground-based CBM information systems such as the ground data station and provide actionable maintenance recommendations to the operator of the device as approved by the authority for continued airworthiness. 253
