figure represents the active time required to perform that maintenance function at the indicated level of
maintenance. If the number or complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at different
maintenance levels, appropriate work time figures will be shown for each level. 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 undertypical field operating conditions. This time includes
preparation time (including any necessary disassembly/assembly time), troubleshooting/fault location time, and
