105.11 Discuss the three levels of aviation maintenance.<br />

MAINTENANCE LEVELS<br />

Maintenance tasks are divided into the number of levels required so common<br />

<strong>standard</strong>s can be applied to the many and varied aircraft maintenance activities of<br />

the military establishment. They are increments of which all maintenance<br />

activities are composed. JOINT PUB-1-02 defines the three levels as depot,<br />

intermediate, and organizational.<br />

DEPOT -LEVEL MAINTENANCE<br />

Maintenance done on material requiring major rework or a complete<br />

rebuild of parts, assemblies, subassemblies, and end items, including<br />

manufacture, modification, testing, and reclamation of parts as<br />

required. D-level maintenance serves to support lower levels of<br />

maintenance by providing technical assistance and performing<br />

maintenance beyond the responsibility of O-level and I-level maintenance.<br />

D-level maintenance provides stocks of serviceable equipment by using<br />

more extensive facilities for repair than are available in lower level<br />

maintenance activities.<br />

INTERMEDIATE -LEVEL MAINTENANCE<br />

Maintenance which is the responsibility of, and performed by, designated<br />

maintenance activities for direct support of using organizations. Its phases<br />

normally consist of calibration, repair or replacement of damaged or<br />

unserviceable parts, components, or assemblies; the emergency<br />

manufacture of nonavailable parts; and the provision of technical<br />

assistance to using organizations.<br />

ORGANIZATIONAL-LEVEL MAINTENANCE<br />

Maintenance which is the responsibility of, and performed by, a using<br />

organization on its assigned equipment. Its phases normally consist of<br />

inspecting, servicing, lubricating, adjusting, and replacing parts,<br />

minor assemblies, and subassemblies.<br />
