instructions and guidance for personnel in battle damage assessment and repair of military assigned
aircraft/equipment with military speciic requirements.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this document.
b. Electronic delivery of this manual is required (see 3.2).
c. If missions are to be other than those identiied by the light manual (see 3.5.2).
d. If performance of inspections is to be other than as speciied herein (see 4.1).
e. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 Technical manuals. The requirement for technical manuals should be considered when this speciication

6.4.1 Aircraft battle damage assessment and repair (ABDAR). Maintenance actions taken in wartime to
quickly return battle damaged aircraft to some degree of mission capability, through effective use of
maintenance resources to assess, defer repair, repair, or cannibalize those aircraft.
6.4.2 Assessors. Personnel from aircraft maintenance career ields who have been trained to evaluate
the extent of battle damage, determine repair, deferrability, estimate repair times, specify repair to be
accomplished, and estimate the resultant capability of the aircraft.
6.4.3 Coded. Shading and cross-hatching of structural drawings, indicating category of structure (see
Figure 5).
6.4.4 Damage classes. The damage classes referenced in 3.12.2 are deined as follows:
6.4.4.1 Class A, degraded capability. Damage limits that result in establishing operational restrictions
when repair is not accomplished. The only purpose of this damage class is to permit restricted use of
the aircraft when time to repair is an operationally critical factor.
6.4.4.2 Class B, repairable damage. Damage limits which permit structural repair within 24 hours or less,
per single repair. Repairs, to restore static strength and stiffness of the damaged component for Category I,
II, and IV structures, will restore full operational capability of the aircraft for at least one more light.
