I said it was a simple description- yes there are bucu other things involved- most figured out ahead of time by the AOG crew for major items to be disconnected, removed, etc. Then an experienced crew will notyonly document each step, but most likely find other items not planned.
One would be amazed at just how good the crews are- and do similar work almost anywhere in the world under extreme conditions.
In the late 40's and ealy 50's when douglas was top dog in commercial- Douglas proudly had the absolute best equivalent to an AOG crew and parts. Boeing at that time had the when you drive it off the lot ,its yours,- have a nice day.
But with the advent of the 707, Boeing finally realized that that attitude would not help sales, The result was to set up the current Boeing AOG system. Douglas cut theirs for cost savings and outrageous charges, the rest is history...
