maintenance requirements. NMCM time starts
when the condition is discovered except when the
discovery is made in flight in which case NMCM
time starts at the termination of flight. NMCM
stops when maintenance is completed or
interrupted by a supply shortage. Work stoppage
resulting from parts nonavailability is reported as
NMCS. NMCM time resumes when required
supply item(s) are delivered to the maintenance
activity. NMCM is further defined as NMCM
scheduled (S) and NMCM unscheduled (U).
NMCM Hours = NMC Hours - NMCS Hours.
NMCMSNot Mission Capable Maintenance
ScheduledThe sum of equipment maintenance
hours. documented for scheduled engine
inspections, special inspections, phase inspections,

considered NMCMS if panels and equipment
removed to conduct area inspections cannot be
replaced within 2 hours or if the aircraft has been
utilized to the maximum allowable operating limit
prior to the scheduled maintenance requirement;
for example, +10 percent, +3 days. NMCMS =
Hours NMCM Hours - NMCMU Hours.
NMCMUNot Mission Capable Maintenance Un-
scheduled.
NMCSNot Mission Capable SupplyThe material
condition of an aircraft that is not capable of
performing any of its missions because
maintenance required to correct the discrepancy
cannot continue due to a supply shortage. NMCS
time starts when a supply demand has been made
