Which helicopter readiness condition is similar to Condition III, except that minor maintenance may be performed if no restoration delay is involved?

Understanding how readiness levels govern maintenance and how quickly an aircraft can be mission-ready is the key. This question asks which level allows a bit more than the next lower level: minor maintenance can be performed as long as it won’t delay restoration to service. That means you’re at a readiness state that still guarantees a 60-minute alert, but with the allowance to do small repairs if they won’t hold up bringing the helicopter back to full readiness. In other words, you accept minor maintenance work only when it won’t cause restoration delays, and you’re prepared to have the aircraft ready within an hour. That description matches Condition IV with an Alert 60.
