What does a C3 capability code denote?

A C3 capability code denotes partial capability. This designation indicates that a system or component is functional but may not be able to perform all tasks at full efficiency or effectiveness. In the context of the Navy Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), recognizing a C3 capability code is essential for determining the availability and readiness of equipment. It helps maintenance personnel understand that while the equipment can perform some critical functions, certain restrictions or limitations exist that could affect overall mission performance. Understanding this coding system aids in resource allocation and planning, ensuring that maintenance actions are prioritized appropriately to address any deficiencies.
