TATTurnaround TimeTAT is:
The time period that commences with the time
an aircraft is removed from an operating unit to
undergo a rework process and terminates when
the reworked aircraft is returned to an
operating unit. A change of reporting and
controlling custody is not necessarily involved;
however, a change in physical custody is
always involved. TAT is the sum of the
following: time enroute from an operating unit
to the naval facility, time awaiting rework,
time in rework, time awaiting flight check after
rework, time in a COMNAVAIRSYSCOM
ready-for-issue status, and time enroute to an
operating unit.
The time needed to service, inspect, and check
an item prior to recommitment.
The interval between the time a repairable item
is removed from use and the time it is available
for reissue in a serviceable condition.

changes and bulletins and consist of information
that cannot be disseminated satisfactorily by
