(a)
You are the assigned operator and have not operated the equipment since the last weekly
PMCS were performed.
(b)
You are operating the equipment for the first time.

Leakage. Leakage definitions for operator/crew PMCS shall be classified as follows:
Class I
Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
Class II
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause drops to drip from item
being checked/inspected.
Class III
Leakage of fluid great enough to cause drops to fall from item being checked/inspected.
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakages (Class I or
11). Of course you must consider the fluid capacity in the
item/system being checked/inspected. When in doubt, notify
your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid
levels as required in your PMCS.
Class III leaks should be reported to your supervisor or unit
maintenance.
