B-3. Column Entries
a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists group numbers, the purpose of which is to identify components,
assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next higher assembly.
b. Column 2, Cornponent/Assemnbly. Column 2 contains the noun names of components, assemblies,
subassemblies, and modules for which maintenance is authorized.
c. Column 3, Maintenance Functions. Column 3 lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in

d. Column 4, Maintenance Category. Column 4 specifies, by the listing of a "work time" figure in the
appropriate subcolumn(s), the lowest level of 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 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 preparation time, troubleshooting 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 allocation chart. Subcolumns of column 4 are as follows:
C - Operator/Crew
O - Organizational
