Reliability and maintainability of Navy C-9B Aircraft and JT8D-9A Engines, as currently configured, must not be adversely affected. 6. Any increase in Aircraft Empty Weight must not exceed 350 pounds. 7. The system must be supportable by 2-level maintenance concept, O to D. 8. The system should require no new or critical logistics support resource requirements. 9. Must not require any additional transportability requirements.
