TM55-1680-358-12&Pservice and make operational, capacity, and pressure checks to hydraulic systems. Perform servicing, functionaladjustments, and minor repair/replacement to the flight control, propulsion, power train, and fuel systems. Accomplish airframe repair that does not require extensive disassembly, jigging, or alinement. The manufacture of air frame parts willbe limited to those items which can be fabricated with tools and equipment found in current air mobile tool and shop sets.Evacuate unserviceable modules/components and end items beyond the repair capability of AVUM to the supportingAVIM.(b)Less than Company Size Aviation Units: Aviation elements organic to brigade, group, battalionheadquarters, and detachment size units are normally small and have less than ten aircraft assigned. Maintenance taksperformed by these units will be those which can be accomplished by the aircraft crew chief or assigned aircraftrepairman and will normally be limited preventive maintenance, inspections, servicing, spot painting, stop drilling,application of nonstress patches, minor adjustments, module/component fault diagnosis, and replacement of selectedmodules/compononts. 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). AVIMmay perform all maintenance functions authorized to be done at AVUM. Repair of equipment for return to user willemphasize support or operational readiness requirements. Authorized maintenance includes replacement and repair ofmodules/components and end items which can be accomplished efficiently with available skills, tools, and equipment.AVIM established the Direct Exchange (DX) program for AVUM units by repairing selected items for return to stock whensuch repairs cannot be accomplished at the AVUM level. The AVIM level inspects, troubleshoots, performs diagnostictests, repairs, adjust, calibrates and alines aircraft system modules/components. AVIM units will have capability todetermine the serviceability of specified modules/components removed prior to the expiration of the Time BetweenOverhaul (TBO) or finite life. Module/component disassembly and repair will support the DX program and will normallybe limited to tasks requiring cleaning and the replacement of seals, fittings, and items of common hardware. Air framerepair and fabrication of parts will be limited to those maintenance tasks which can be performed with available tools andtest equipment. Unserviceable reparable modules/components and end items which are beyond the capability of AVIMto repair will be evacuated to Depot Maintenance. AVIM will perform aircraft weight and balance inspections and otherspecial inspections which exceed AVUM capability. Provides quick response maintenance support, including aircraftrecovery and air evacuation, on-the-job training, and technical assistance through the use of mobile maintenance contactteams. Maintains authorized operational readiness float aircraft. Provides collection and classification services forserviceable/unserviceable material. Operates a cannibalization activity in accordance with AR 750-50. (The aircraftmaintenance company within the maintenance battalion of a division will perform AVIM functions consistent with airmobility requirements and conservation of personnel and equipment resources. Additional intermediate maintenancesupport will be provided by the supporting nondivisional AVIM unit.)B-2 Use of the Maintenance Allocation Chart (Section II)a.The Maintenance Allocation Chart assigns maintenance functions to the lowestB-2
