ENLISTED AVIATION WARFARE
SPECIALIST (EAWS) COMMON CORE
EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
2026 - 2027
How many data points are used
13 data points
Data Accuracy uses
Analyze high system failures/man hours - Identify desirable product
improvements - Analyze inspection requirements - Adjust component
scheduled removal intervals - Improve I-level repair capabilities -
Identify failed items under warranty - Establish realistic manning
factors - Determine and justify modifications and engineering
changes - Establish equipment reliability factors - Determine tooling
and equipment requirements - Predict probable failures through
analysis - Determine status of compliance with mission readiness
type TDs - Monitor aircraft readiness trends in support of
congressional and joint service intiatives
Amount of Local data uses
10
Local data uses
High man-hour operating equipment - Man hours lost to
cannibalization and remove of items - Areas with skill or training
deficiencies - Efficient or inefficient use of available manpower -
,Items with high failure rates - Inadequate troubleshooting - Reasons
for ground/inflight aborts - High usage items - Status of TD
compliance - Sarranted item failure and repair
How many naval core capabilities
6 core capabilities
Forward Presence
Establishes maritime forces in regions throughout the world.
Deterrence
Preventing wars is as important as winning wars. Being superior
scares people
