maintenance authorized to perform the function listed in Column 3. This
figure represents the active time required to perform that maintenance
function at the indicated category of maintenance. If the number or
complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at
different maintenance categories, appropriate "work time" figures will be shown
for each category. The number of man-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
preparation time, troubleshoot ing 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 Maintenance
