figure in the appropriate subcolumn(s), the lowest level of maintenance authorized to perform the func-

tion at the indicated category of maintenance. If the number or complexity of the tasks within the listed

shown for each category. The number of task-hours specified by 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 prepara-

tion time, troubleshooting time and quality assurance/quality control time in addition to the time required
