Repair: An end item repair is the action taken to return the end item to a serviceable condition by replacing all exposed consumable items and only the damaged recoverable parts that do not meet the TO inspection criteria. Repair consists of end item testing to determine deficiencies, disassembly as required to support maintenance actions required, thorough cleaning, refurbishment or replacement of all disturbed components not meeting inspection criteria, replacement of all soft parts (seal, gaskets, etc.) exposed during repair, re-assembly of assemblies and subassemblies, performance of all adjustments and alignments, test and calibration of subassemblies and end items and final inspection (e.g., safety wiring, painting, affixing of decals) IAW the applicable TOs and approved test documents to restore the end item to a serviceable condition.

Repairable: An unserviceable item that can be repaired and restored to a serviceable condition.

Re-usable Component: Non-accountable, expendable part or assembly that may be re-installed in an end item after inspection / repair and deemed serviceable.

It consists of items or assemblies of equipment, including standard or general purpose items or components that are interconnected and interdependent so as to become a new functional entity for ST purposes. It does not include material, ST, facilities (except foundations and similar improvements necessary for installing special test equipment), and plant equipment items used for general plant testing purposes.

Special Tooling (ST): Jigs, dies, fixtures, molds, patterns, taps, gauges, other equipment and manufacturing aids, all components of these items, and replacement of these items, which are of such a specialized nature that without substantial modification or alteration; their use is limited to the development or production of particular supplies or parts thereof or to the performance of particular services. It does not include material, STE, facilities (except foundations and similar improvements necessary for installing ST), general or special machine tools or similar capital items.

Support Equipment (SE): All equipment called out in applicable technical orders required for LRU, SRU and component test, repair, overhaul, and / or modification.

Technical Order (TO): An Air Force publication that gives specific technical directives and information with respect to the inspection, storage, operation, modification, and maintenance of Government equipment.
