PMCS PROCEDURES - Continued
Procedure Column. This column briefly describes the procedure by which the check is performed. It contains all the information
required to perform the checks and services, including appropriate tolerances, adjustment limits, and instrument gage readings.
Not Fully Mission Capable If: Column. This column contains the criteria that will cause the equipment to be classified as not
mission capable because of inability to perform its primary mission. An entry in this column will:
a. Identify conditions that make the equipment not mission capable for readiness reporting purposes.
b. Deny use of the equipment until corrective maintenance has been performed.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Leakage definitions for operator PMCS shall be classified as follows:
Class
I
Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
Class II
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not enough to cause drops to drip from item being
checked/inspected.
Class III
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked/inspected.
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakages (Class I or II). Of course, you must consider the fluid
capacity in the item/system being checked/inspected. When in doubt, notify your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or Class II leaks, continue to check fluid levels as required in your PMCS.
Class III leaks should be reported to your supervisor or Unit Maintenance.
