for the worst performers. d. Mission Impaired Capability, Awaiting Parts (MICAP) – This metric is used by the MECSIP Manager to identify those parts where the supply or distribution of spares is impacting aircraft availability. The responsibility for generating and tracking MICAP normally rests outside MECSIP, and it is not the intent of MIL-STD-1798 for MECSIP to assume the responsibility for generating this data. Rather, it is understood that MECSIP can benefit through the data supplied by those generating MICAP data. It is recommended that the MECSIP Manager retrieve this data and track and analyze this data for MECSIP improvement opportunities. e. Not Mission Capable rate ((NMC) (S), (M), and (B)) – Not Mission Capable is used by the MECSIP Program to indicate the discrepancy that pre

at designated time intervals. Durability critical components are defined in MIL-STD-1798 as primarily mechanical items “whose failure may entail costly maintenance and or part repair and replacement of which, if Source: https://assist.dla.mil -- Downloaded: 2026-07-20T01:43Z Check the source to verify that this is the current version before use. MIL-STD-1796A(USAF) 12 not performed, would significantly degrade performance and operational readiness.” This category generally has very limited application in electronics, but in cases where it does apply, the design should include ample margin to preclude early and unscheduled maintenance which could adversely impact the operational capability and availability of the weapon system. “Safety of flight tests” include any test or analysis needed to

blications. (T-2) 4.5. RCM must be sustained and continuously used to update failure management strategies throughout the entire life cycle of the program. Any PM program, which was determined by an analysis process other than NAVAIR 00-25-403 RCM, may be sustained using the original method. (T-2) 4.6. RCM analyses must be documented in a digital data format capable of being imported. (T-2) 4.7. MIL-STD-1798, Mechanical Equipment and Subsystems Integrity Program (MECSIP), Subtask 4, requires the Program Office (PO) to conduct RCM, Maintenance Steering Group (MSG)-3, Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) or equivalent analysis to identify PM.
