Summary/Abstract: The Romanian Air Force wanted to increase the interoperability with its NATO partners by bying F-16 aircraft from the Portuguese Air Force. In this respect, the Government of Romania undertook the necessary steps based on the gradual grow of the operational capability starting with a first phase of making operational one squadron of 12 F-16 A/B MLU aircraft in the year of 2017, declared surplus by the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Portugal. The 86th Air Force Base Borcea has been assigned to receive these aircraft.In order to operationalize this squadron it is needed to implement in logistics service from the Air Force Headqurters and in 86th Air Force Base a new and efficient maintenance system to safely operate the Romanian F-16 bought from the Republic of Portugal. This article is the first baseline which tries to define the general requirements of that maintenance system to support the aircraft which will arrive to Borcea begining with september 2016.
