Code 2 Aircraft or system has minor discrepancies but is capable of further mission assignment within normal turnaround times. Code 3 Aircraft or system has major discrepancies in mission essential equipment that may require extensive repair or replacement prior to further mission assignment. The discrepancy may not affect safety-of-flight and the aircraft may be NMC flyable. Code 4 Aircraft or system has suspected or known radiological, chemical, or biological contamination. Code 5 Aircraft or system has suspected or known battle damage. |

AFI 21-101 Table 1.1 Pg. 28
Priority 1 Aircraft on alert status, war plan or national emergency missions, including related Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE), munitions and munitions support equipment (MSE). Priority 2 Primary mission aircraft, related equipment, for the first 8 work hours after landing or start of recovery or within 6 work hours of a scheduled launch, alert or test flight and during simulated generation/ORI. Air evacuation, rescue, weather mission aircraft, related AGE, munitions, and munitions support equipment. All transient support, and FAA aircraft. Flight or missile crew training simulator, other training equipment or related AGE required repair, which is impacting the mission by preventing or delaying student training. Priority 3 Aircraft, engines, air launched missiles and related equipment undergoing scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, that if not performed will prevent or delay mission accomplishment. Administrative aircraft within 8 hours of scheduled flight or on alert status with standby crews. Time change requirements for nuclear weapons. Repair cycle assets to satisfy a MICAP condition. Spares not available in supply. Critical end items and spares not available in supply. Routine maintenance of aircrew or missile-training simulator, or other training devices or related AGE or sites and aircraft or equipment used for maintenance training. Avionics shop electronic AGE and automated test stations. Priority 4 Routine or extensive repair of primary air mission and related AGE and repair cycle assets. Administrative aircraft undergoing scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Routine maintenance of AGE, not otherwise listed above. |
