Which type material covers aeronautical support equipment costing more than $250 but less than $3500, with initial provisioning by ALC but no subsequent replacement?

• A. Type 1
• B. Type 2
• C. Type 5
• D. Type 6

Answer: (D)

This question tests how aeronautical support equipment is categorized by cost and provisioning method. For items with a unit cost between $250 and $3,500 that are provisioned in the initial fielding package by the Aviation Logistics Center and are not scheduled for routine replacement, the management category used is the one assigned to that lifecycle path. This approach keeps mid-range, non-replenishable ASE available at start without creating ongoing reordering cycles. In practice, items within this price band are issued during initial provisioning and aren’t automatically replaced during normal operation, striking a balance between upfront availability and lower long-term stock costs. Other categories cover different price ranges or different replacement/replenishment policies, so they don’t fit this specific combination of cost, provisioning, and non-replacement.
