Explanation of Columns in the MAC -- Continued
Column (4) -- Maintenance Level. Column (4) specifies each level of maintenance authorized to perform each
function listed in Column (3), by indicating work time (expressed as manhours in whole hours or decimals) in the
appropriate subcolumn. This work time figure represents the active time required to perform the maintenance function
at the indicated level of maintenance. If the number or complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance functions
varies at different maintenance levels, appropriate figures are to be shown for each level. The work time figure
represents the average work time 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/quality control time in addition to the time required to perform the specific tasks identified for the
maintenance functions authorized in the MAC. The symbol designations for the various maintenance levels are as
follows:
C -- Operator or crew maintenance
O -- Unit maintenance
F -- Direct support maintenance
H -- General support maintenance
L -- Specialized repair activity (SRA)
D -- Depot maintenance
NOTE
The ”L” maintenance level is not included in column (4) of the MAC. Functions to this level of
maintenance are identified by a work time in the ”H” column (4), and an associated reference code is
used in the REMARKS column (6). This code is keyed to the remarks and the SRA complete repair
application is explained there.
Column (5) -- Tools and Equipment Reference Code. Column (5) specifies, by code those common tool sets (not
individual tools), common Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), and special tools, special TMDE,
