End item group numbers are “00”. Column (2) - Component/Assembly. Column (2) contains the names of components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules for which maintenance is authorized. Column (3) - Maintenance Function. Column (3) lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in Column (2). (For detailed explanation of these functions, refer to “Maintenance Functions” outlined previously). Column (4) - Maintenance Level. Column (4) specifies each level of maintenance authorized to perform each function listed in Column (3), by indicating work time required (expressed as manhours in whole hours or decimals) in the appropriate subcolumn. This work time figure represents the active time required to perform that maintenance function at the indicated level of maintenance. If the number or the complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at different maintenance levels, appropriate work time figures are to be shown for each level. The work time figure represents the average time required to restore an item (assembly, subassembly, component, module, end item, or system) to a serviceable condition under typical field operating conditions. This time includes preparation time (including any necessary disassembly/assembly time), troubleshooting/fault location time, and quality assurance time in addition to the time required to perform the specific tasks identified for the maintenance functions authorized in the MAC.
