PMCS Table
Your PMCS table (next page) lists the inspections and care of your equipment required to keep it good operating condition.
Explanations of the column headings are as follows:
• Item No. The item number column of your PMCS table is to be used for reference. When completing DA Form
2404, include the item number for the check/service indicating a fault. Item numbers also appear in the order that
you must do checks and services for the intervals listed.
• Interval. This column of your PMCS table tells you when to do a certain check or service.
• Location, Item to Check/Service. This column of your PMCS table provides the location and the item to be
checked or serviced.
• Crewmember, Procedure. This column of your PMCS table tells you how to do the required checks and services
and which crewmember(s) is responsible for each check or service. Carefully follow these instructions. If you do
not have the tools, or if the procedure tells you to, have Unit maintenance do the work.
• Not Fully Mission Capable If. This column tells you when and why your equipment cannot be used.
