MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION CHART (Continued)

to the electrical system. Inspect, service and make operational, capacity, and

pressure checks to hydraulic systems. Perform servicing, functional adjust.

ments, and minor repair/replacement to the flight control, propulsion, power

train, and fuel systems. Accomplish air frame repair that does not require

extensive disassembly, jigging, or alignment. The manufacture of air frame

parts will be limited to those items which can be fabricated with tools and

equipment found in current air mobile tool and shop sets. Evacuate un-

serviceable modules/components and end items beyond the repair capability of

AVUM to the supporting AVIM.

(b) Less than Company Size Aviation Units: Aviation Elements organic

to brigade, group, battalion headquarters, and detachment size units are

normally small and have less than ten aircraft assigned. Maintenance tasks

performed by these units will be those which can be accomplished by the air-

craft crew chief or assigned aircraft repair person and will normally be

limited to preventive maintenance, inspections, servicing, spot painting, stop

drilling, application of nonstress patches, minor adjustments, module/component

fault diagnosis, and replacement of selected modules/components. Repair

functions will normally be accomplished by the supporting AVIM unit.

(2) Aviation Intermediate Maintenance (AVIM) provides mobile, responsive

"One-Stop" maintenance support. (Maintenance functions which are not conducive

to sustaining air mobility will be assigned to depot maintenance. ) AVIM may

perform all maintenance functions authorized to be done at AVUM. Repair of

equipment for return to user will emphasize support or operational readiness

requirements. Authorized maintenance includes replacement and repair of

modules/components and end items which can be accomplished efficiently with

available skills, tools, and equipment. AVIM establishes the Direct Exchange

(DX) program for AVUM units by repairing selected items for return to stock

when such repairs cannot be accomplished at the AVUM level. The AVIM level

inspects, troubleshoots, performs diagnostic tests, repairs, adjusts, cali-

brates, and aligns aircraft system modules/components. AVIM units will have

capability to determine the serviceability of specified modules/components

removed prior to the expiration of the Time Between Overhaul (TBO) or finite

life. Module/component disassembly and repair will support the DX program

and will normally be limited to tasks requiring cleaning and the replacement

of seals, fittings, and items of common hardware. Air frame repair and

fabrication of parts will be limited to those maintenance tasks which can be

performed with available tools and test equipment. Unserviceable reparable

modules/components and end items which are beyond the capability of AVIM to

repair will be evacuated to Depot Maintenance. AVIM will perform aircraft

weight and balance inspections and other special inspections which exceed AVUM

capability. Provides quick response maintenance support, including aircraft

recovery and air evacuation, on-the-job training, and technical assistance

through the use of mobile maintenance contact teams. Maintains authorized

operational readiness float aircraft. Provides collection and classification

services for serviceable/unserviceable material. Operates a cannibalization

activity in accordance with AR 750-2. (The aircraft maintenance company within

the maintenance battalion of a division will perform AVIM functions consistent

with air mobility requirements and conservation of personnel and equipment

resources. Additonal intermediate maintenance support will be provided by the

supporting nondivisional AVIM unit.)
