25 NAVAIR GENERAL a. This WP contains descriptive information concerning the many elements of naval aviation that are covered by TMs. b. It is intended to make the user aware of the many and diverse categories of manuals required to properly support the operation and maintenance of naval aircraft and equipment TYPES OF TECHNICAL MANUALS a. TMs are divided into two major types, operational and maintenance. (1) These manuals are the basic source of information for definition of operating instructions, tactical applications, and the maintenance and upkeep of hardware. (2) They are also the main source of support for a training program. b. OPERATIONAL MANUALS are manuals and other forms of documentation that contain a description of weapon systems with instructions for their effective use. (1) These manuals, i.e., Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures (NATOPS), tactical manuals, weapons loading, etc., contain informative descriptions of the weapon system, systems integration, operating instructions, operational application, safety and emergency procedures and other pertinent data exclusive of maintenance procedures. (2) Operational Manuals cover peculiar weapon system requirements for pilot training and flight instructions, aircraft tactics, including operational requirements related to computer initiated functions and actions, weapons loading, and in selected cases, cargo handling. (a) NATOPS Flight Manuals contain information related to weapon system operation, emergency procedures and installed system integration, and operation. 1 The intent and purpose of these manuals is the enhancement of operational safety through standardization of ground and flight procedures. The manuals are issued by the direction of NAVAIR under a Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) letter of promulgation, which stipulates that the procedures contained therein are mandatory. 2 The requisitioning and automatic distribution of NATOPS flight manuals is the function of the central technical publications librarian (CTPL). Management of the NATOPS flight manuals normally falls under the control of the NATOPS Officer. (b) Pilot s Pocket Checklists/Flight Crew Checklists are an abbreviated extension to NATOPS data released in a special knee pad checklist format. They contain performance and reference data and emergency, normal, and special procedures. They are step-by-step abbreviations of the amplified NATOPS procedures prepared for direct cockpit application. (c) Functional Check Flight Checklists are required to determine whether the airframe, power plant, accessories, and other items of equipment are functioning in accordance with predetermined standards while subjected to the intended operating environment. Such flights are conducted when it is not possible to determine proper operation by ground checks, i.e., aerodynamic reaction, air loading, or signal propagation. 3

26 NAVAIR (d) Tactical Manuals supplement the flight manual. Described therein is information on tactics, weaponry, and air combat maneuvering with procedures and techniques to be used that are based on tactical situations and mission assignments. These documents are also under CNO cognizance, and as a result thereof, are integrated into the Naval Warfare Publication (NWP) program. (e) Airborne Weapons/Stores Loading Manuals promulgate information required to convert aircraft armament systems to respond to various mission assignments, perform functional checkout of aircraft weapons control and release systems, and describe the loading/unloading of airborne weapons or stores. tactical doctrine. 1 The manual explains standard loading criteria and procedures predicated on 2 These documents are also released under a letter of promulgation specifying that the procedures stipulated are mandatory. (f) Weapons Loading Checklists are abbreviated step-by-step procedures taken from the amplified procedures displayed in the weapon/stores loading manuals. These are normally used for training as well as for direct loading/unloading support. (g) Cargo Loading Manuals have been prepared for selected cargo-type aircraft. 1 They contain procedures for loading, securing, and unloading of cargo. As far as possible, all typical loads (ground equipment, troops, engines, etc.) and other assigned transport missions are covered and illustrated. 2 Displayed information covers the description of the aircraft and its cargo features, the preparation of the aircraft for loading, general instructions for cargo loading/unloading, load security, and loading of specialized cargo. Most cargo loading documentation is subject to controls identical to NATOPS. c. MAINTENANCE MANUALS are documents containing a description and instruction for the effective use and support of the weapon system from a viewpoint of upkeep and repair. These manuals incorporate maintenance procedure information such as operation, troubleshooting, fault detection, installation, testing, assembly, disassembly, repair, and supply support in the form of an illustrated parts breakdown. (1) General Engineering Series Manuals cover standard aviation maintenance practices, which apply to all aircraft rather than to a particular type, model, or series. (a) These documents serve as useful training tools and preclude duplication of standard practices in other manuals. (b) In the event that there is a conflict between the manual for a specific system and the procedures contained in the general engineering series manual, the latest dated issue of either the maintenance manual or general engineering series manual shall take precedence. (2) Technical Documentation List is prepared similar to an index but structured with a view to assisting maintenance personnel in the selection of appropriate manuals required for maintenance support. (a) All manuals applicable to a weapon system are listed. (b) The listings are presented in three basic formats: 4

27 NAVAIR Numerically by assigned TM number. number. 2 By system, subsystem, and component part number or type designator to TM 3 By Support Equipment part number or type designator to TM number. (3) Maintenance Instruction Manuals (MIMs) provide both general and specific instructions required for maintenance at organizational, intermediate, or depot levels of maintenance on aircraft, weapons systems, equipment, components, and support equipment. (4) Wiring Manuals are comprised of wiring data/diagram, wiring list, wiring repair, wiring connector repair, and a functional flow diagram documentation. (a) Wiring data/diagram manuals describe functions and makeup of each power control/signal as interfaced with mechanical systems and in composite wiring information for all systems, subsystems, and equipment as installed in an aircraft weapon system. (b) Wire lists are computer generated tabular listings used as reference data to cross reference wire number to junction point list and junction point to wire number list. (c) A wire repair manual furnishes temporary and permanent repair data for every wire used in an aircraft weapon system. The wire connector repair document comprehensively supplies all maintenance information requirements for disassembly, repair, and assembly of each specific wiring connector. (d) Functional flow diagram publications are maintenance support documents, used in conjunction with troubleshooting procedures to provide point-to-point closed loop wiring of the aircraft weapon system and its systems and subsystems. (5) General Aircraft Information Manual can be subdivided into Plane Captain s Manual, Ground Handling Manual, and General Information and Servicing Manual. Contained therein is a general description of the aircraft, which shows dimensions, aircraft stations, access openings, engine operation, ground or carrier handling/servicing, hazardous areas, and emergency procedures. (6) Work Unit Code Manuals, Expanded Numbering System Manuals and Unified Numbering System Manuals are used as maintenance aids and recording guides in conjunction with Maintenance Data Systems. They identify codes or numbers assigned to system-related equipment codes pertaining to servicing and maintenance functions. They are used inputting maintenance information into automated databases. (7) Weight and Balance Data Manuals (NAVAIR 01-1B-40) are used jointly with the U.S. Air Force. They provide a standard system for recording field weight and balance of certain aircraft. (a) The original manufacturer prior to delivery of the aircraft to the Navy prepares the initial development of forms, charts, and records contained in the manual. (b) The document remains with the aircraft during its entire service life and provides a means of maintaining a continuous, current record of the aircraft s basic weight, balance, and loading data. The records are maintained by the aircraft-reporting custodian and overhaul activities and must be brought up to date prior to any transfer of aircraft. (c) NAVAIR 01-1B-50, USN Aircraft Weight and Balance Control Manual, provides requirements, procedures, and responsibilities for weight and balance control of Navy aircraft. 5

28 NAVAIR (8) Crew Station/In-Flight Maintenance Manuals were specifically designed for large, highdensity avionics aircraft employing sophisticated computer-controlled, integrated weapon systems. (a) They are an aid in maintaining mission capability and assist in accomplishment of rapid fault detection and possible corrective action while the aircraft is still airborne are prepared to the same general specifications as aircraft manuals. (b) However, they are tailored to their specific functional application. Information covers basic description, theory and troubleshooting, checkout, assembly, disassembly, maintenance, servicing, and handling. (9) Airborne Missile Weapons Assembly Checklists provide an abbreviated, unclassified, procedural reference, which can be used as a guide for step-by-step assembly of missiles or weapons. (10) Structural Repair Manuals contain specialized repair information required by maintenance personnel to determine the extent of aircraft structural damage and instructions for performing a permanent or one time flight repair. (11) Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) Manuals contain a listing of weapon systems/ component parts keyed to line art illustrations. The IPB serves a dual function to assist both maintenance and supply. (a) Material is illustrated by exploded view, listed in the order of top-down breakdown and referenced to material availability through Source, Maintenance, and Recoverability (SM&R) code listings. (b) The IPB is prepared as a part of the Work Package (WP), but also may be an associated document to the related maintenance manual or incorporated in the basic manual as a separate WP. It is used to identify, requisition, issue, and provide information on storing parts required for maintenance support. (12) Power Plants Manuals are referred to as reciprocating engines, jet propulsion/ turboshaft engines, rocket type jet engines, and Auxiliary Power Units (APUs). (a) Organizational (installed) maintenance is covered in the power plants volume of the Maintenance Instruction Manual prepared by the aircraft manufacturer. However, uninstalled intermediate and depot information is defined in specialized engine documentation prepared by the engine manufacturer. (b) Content coverage extends from intermediate servicing and repairs to Complete Engine Repair (CER) to overhaul, all with an IPB. In some cases, CER is supported by a deck of Complete Engine Repair Requirements Cards (CERRCs). (13) Planned Maintenance System (PMS) documentation is a series of manuals that portray selected maintenance requirements and inspections. (a) These manuals provide the basis for planning, scheduling, and actual performance of scheduled maintenance requirements. The requirements are scheduled with intervals based on the predominant failure mode, such as calendar time, flight/operation hours, or numbers of cycles/events. (b) Some of the more important applications are: 1 Turnaround Checklists have been prepared to support inspection of exterior and interior aircraft surfaces in an abbreviated walk-around order. The requirements cover those items necessary to determine obvious defects that may have occurred during each flight, i.e., pre-operational, post-operational. 6

29 NAVAIR Daily/Special/Preservation/Conditional/Aircraft Service Period Adjustment (ASPA) Manuals cover the minimum daily inspection requirements, as well as servicing, special inspections, and, if applicable, conditional inspections. Special inspections are defined as those that are performed on a prescribed number of days, flight hours, operating hours, or cycles. After thorough cleaning has been accomplished, preservation inspections are made of all areas of the aircraft for evidence of corrosion or other deterioration in order to permit accurate assessment of the preservation process at the end of the preservation period. Conditional inspections are unscheduled inspections that must be accomplished as the result of an overstressed or overlimit condition, i.e., excessive G forces, hard landings, overspeed or overtemp engines, etc. ASPA evaluations are conditional maintenance actions, which are depot level evaluations of aircraft general material condition. 3 Phase Maintenance Requirements Cards divide the total scheduled maintenance requirements into small packages (phases) of approximately the same work content, which are accomplished sequentially at specific intervals. 4 Periodic Maintenance Information Cards (PMIC) identifies all scheduled or forced removal items and their replacement intervals. They also contain a record of applicable technical directives, a maintenance requirements index (by system), and a conditional inspection listing. 5 Airborne Weapons Assembly Manuals provide organizational and intermediate maintenance activities with detailed information for weapons uncanning/recanning and inspection, component unpackaging/repackaging and inspection, and weapons assembly and inspection criteria for assembled weapons. 6 Cross Servicing Schedules/Guides contain information required by NATO activities for spares and servicing of U. S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft without the use of special types of equipment. d. OTHER TECHNICAL MANUALS are grouped in a variety of categories predicated on the type of equipment used and the peculiarities of the maintenance requirement. The following paragraphs identify and briefly explain each of the more frequently seen categories (figure 1). (1) Technical Manuals for Research And Development (R&D) shall be no more complete or extensive in coverage than essential to support operation and on site maintenance during the life of the test program. Documentation required in support of R&D, which could be applicable to the NAVAIR TM, will be procured in a format that may be readily expanded into formal manuals in accordance with appropriate specification requirements. (2) Technical Manuals Developed for Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) or Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) are prepared to control specifications and shall be complete and adequate for their intended use. They shall reflect the applicable maintenance concept. (a) The selected levels of maintenance control depth of coverage.

50 NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL STYLES a. MILITARY SPECIFICATION MANUALS (1) Prepared to specific requirements in support of defined maintenance concepts, predetermined maintenance level coverage, and are accompanied by an Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) that reflects Navy provisioning actions for spares and spare parts. (2) Specifically tailored to represent the intended Navy use for training, operation, upkeep, and repair support as applied to weapon system availability and fleet readiness. (3) Are prepared in either conventional or work package concept style and format. (4) Conventional style and format manuals are arranged in topic-sectionalized fashion by chapters containing sections. Work package concept style and format manuals are arranged sequentially by functions and tasks within a function as stand alone maintenance units containing all data required for specific task performance. b. COMMERCIAL MANUALS (1) Considered for procurement only when available for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment. Must precisely reflect configurations of the equipment and the data must be compatible with Navy maintenance plans. (2) Established with provisions for copyright releases and authority for maintaining commercial manuals throughout the expected life cycles of the equipment. Should not have any restrictions against reproduction and distribution for government use. (3) Prior to acquisition, are evaluated for NAVAIR/user acceptability to determine if they are candidates for procurement, whether in their present forms or subject to modifications. (4) When accepted, are assigned a NAVAIR number to facilitate indexing, filing, stocking, and distribution requirements CONVENTIONAL MANUAL ARRANGEMENT a. The conventional topic-sectionalized technical manual format is still being used for NAVAIR TMs. b. In the conventional manual format, the manual is sectionalized and each section normally addresses one phase of maintenance related to the end item of equipment such as; Operation, Principles of Operation, Testing, Troubleshooting, etc. c. An IPB may be contained as a section in the manual or may be developed as a separate manual WORK PACKAGE MANUAL ARRANGEMENT a. To foster improvements in technical information, greater emphasis has been placed on data accessibility, adequacy, accuracy, and overall documentation usability. b. The maintenance demands of higher technology systems resulted in a TM concept defined as a functionally assembled document, arranged in the general order of workflow, and grouped into small units covering individual tasks. These are called Work Packages (WPs). 2

51 NAVAIR c. WP functional elements include system/equipment description and principles of operation, testing and troubleshooting, system maintenance, wiring data/schematics and diagrams, and an IPB. Each of these elements is further broken down systematically into smaller units as required by system complexity, integration, and Logistic Support Analysis (LSA). d. WPs within the TM are defined as self-supporting units of information containing all data required for a technician to perform a specific task. e. WPs are based upon an LSA, or approved maintenance plans, and reflects defined repair concept requirements as contained in the integrated logistic support plan. f. ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE MANUALS are planned on a weapon system basis covering on-aircraft troubleshooting, equipment installation, and removal. g. INTERMEDIATE AND DEPOT MAINTENANCE MANUALS are focused on off-aircraft maintenance by shop or work enter and narrowed to fault isolation, repair of end assemblies, and selected shop repairable modules or units. h. WORK PACKAGE NUMBERING (1) The individual WP is assigned a number that appears in the upper right hand corner of every page. (2) The WPs are numbered in their order of arrangement within the TM. (3) The WP number is a five-digit number arranged in blocks of three and two digits respectively, with one blank space between the third and forth numerals i.e., (a) The first three digits are assigned on the initial issue of the manual. Starting with 001, the numbers could progress in numerical sequence through 999. (b) Except for WP 001, the last two digits are used when a change (or revision) to the manual is issued adding a new WP whose technical content logically places the WP between two existing WPs. When this occurs, the new WP is numbered XXX 01. Example: WPs issued to be inserted between existing WPs , , and , would be numbered and respectively. (c) The only exceptions in the use of the last two digits are the assignment of WP to the Numerical Index of Part Numbers and WP to the Numerical Index of Reference Designations. In special circumstances, a contractor may request an exception to the military specification from the NATEC, for the use of the last two digits WORK PACKAGE MANUAL FORMAT a. Margin information, i.e. TM number, WP number, change designation, and page number, have been repositioned at the top left and right of the page. This was accomplished to enhance usability and readability. b. Because of the capability to reproduce WPs separately, each package has been developed with its own title page. The title block identifies the function/task by title, level of maintenance, and effectivity notice (i.e., EFFECTIVITY: Serial Nos through 34567). c. One of the first elements of information provided is a listing of reference material required in the WP. 3

52 NAVAIR d. Also included is an alphabetical index of titled paragraphs in the WP and an applicable technical directive listing. e. Strategically located early in the text of most WPs is a listing of support equipment and consumable materials required to perform the task. A typical WP title page is illustrated in figure 1. f. CONTENT FORMAT (1) Content depends on the specific task to be performed, the authorized depth of information required, and the sequence of performance. (2) The WP concept permits the preparing activity to tailor the document to fit the specific maintenance demands of the unit under repair. (3) Organizational Maintenance Data (a) Organizational data is system oriented. (b) Organizational system maintenance will normally cover removal, installation, alignment, and adjustment in task order. (c) Descriptive information and principles of operation data are packaged in the order of operational signal flow or mechanical operating sequence by component. (d) Testing and troubleshooting are assembled by functional block logic and by action sequence with consideration being given to mode selection and failure probability. Where possible, specific points of entry to the text must be identified to preclude the necessity of running a complete endto-end test after each corrective action. WP. (e) IPBs should be prepared as a part of the maintenance WP but may be a separate (4) Intermediate/Depot Maintenance Data (a) Intermediate/depot level documents are simpler to use because the arrangement and assembly of WPs is based on component, rather than system breakdown. (b) Intermediate/depot level WPs are assembled in a pyramid fashion based on standard top-down breakdown of the component, or by the tasks necessary to remove/install a particular component. (c) Where the volume of data permits, end item description, principles of operation, and troubleshooting can appear as a series of introductory WPs preceding the maintenance data. (d) The first maintenance package would cover the removal/installation and IPB of components from the end item and other pertinent related information. components. (e) Tasks would then follow through the disassembly/assembly of the removed (f) IPB data is contained in the intermediate/depot WP, providing maximum information to support a total WP concept. 4

53 NAVAIR g. INFORMATION ACCESSIBILITY (1) Logical assembly through work packaging and highly visible numbering and paragraph titling help tremendously but the major emphasis must be placed on indexing. (2) Within the TM itself an Alphabetical Index appears as WP This index replaces the standard Table of Contents in conventional manuals as a locator for the desired WP number. (3) The second level of indexing appears on the title page of each individual WP (figure 1). Each titled paragraph is listed in alphabetical order and level of subordination JOB PERFORMANCE AIDS (JPA) [ALSO KNOW AS MULTIMEDIA JOB PERFORMANCE AIDS (MJPA)] a. Job Performance Aids (JPA), sometimes called Multimedia Job Performance Aids (MJPA) are video representations of maintenance procedures used to better explain complicated maintenance actions in Technical Data. They are linked to the TM from which they are developed and will be updated in lockstep with the maintenance action, which they enhance. b. JPA will be distributed along with updates to the TM containing that maintenance action. 5

64 NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL UPDATED METHODS a. Technical documentation usability is defined as how effectively the presented information describes the system or equipment configuration and required maintenance data. b. In general, hardware configurations and maintenance concepts are fluid. These changes are usually the results of efforts to improve either mission or maintenance capabilities. Therefore, it is mandatory that the Naval Air Systems Command (NASC) maintain an effective, update method to ensure that TMs keep pace with hardware configuration. c. TMs are updated through the issuance of Rapid Action Changes (RACs)/Interim Rapid Action Changes (IRACs), Formal Changes, Revisions, Pick-up Revisions, or NAVAIR TM Notices. d. For revisions and changes to Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) program publications, refer to OPNAVINST TECHNICAL MANUAL RAPID ACTION CHANGES a. TM RAPID ACTION CHANGES (1) TM RACs are applicable to TMs supporting all in-production and out-of-production NAVAIR weapons systems such as: maintenance instruction manuals, related component equipment manuals, maintenance requirement cards, illustrated parts breakdown, support equipment, weapons handling and loading manuals, calibration manuals, and other related procedural manuals. (2) Rapid Action Changes to NAVAIR TMs shall be of the two following types: (a) RACs are issued by Naval activities or Contract Administrative Offices (CAOs) as a complete formal change to a TM (including all associated front matter). (b) IRACs are issued by Naval activities or Contract Administrative Offices (CAOs) as an interim change to provided urgent TM change data. IRACs are released in two types, Type A and Type B. (c) More detail on RACs and IRACs are discussed below. (3) One or more of the following conditions must exist for an TM RAC to be issued; (a) Hazards to safety of personnel, (b) Impairment of safety of flight, (c) Aircraft grounding, (d) Mission capability or fleet readiness, (e) Equipment damage, or (f) Environmental impact restrictions. (4) The following conditions are not approved reasons for issuance of a TM RAC: 2

65 NAVAIR (a) Update of data pertaining to hardware familiarization, such as: theory of operation; description of an existing unit or control unless required in conjunction with revised installation, assembly, disassembly or maintenance procedures; (b) Format changes; involved); (c) Grammatical changes (unless safety, equipment damage, flight limitation, etc., are (d) Typographical errors; (e) General non-procedural information; (f) Naval Air Training and Operation Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) flight and tactical manuals are excluded from the TM RAC Program. (Refer to OPNAVINST ). (5) The determination to issue TM RACs shall be made by the commercial or government cognizant TM preparing activity in coordination with the program NATEC Technical Data Logistics Element Manager (LEM). (6) The incorporation of RACs and IRACs into the affected TMs (paper copy) shall be within two working days upon receipt. (7) All outstanding TM RACs should be against the latest formal change or revision to the manual. If this is not the case a TPDR should be issued against the manual. (8) RACs and IRACs shall be numbered consecutively throughout the life of the TM beginning with RAC or IRAC number 1. All numbers shall be assigned by the NATEC LEM or designee approved by the program LEM. (9) If RACs and IRACs are issued with incorrect data, it shall be corrected by issuing the next RAC numbered in sequence with only the affected pages corrected. More detail on issuing corrected RACs (paragraph 7-2b) and IRACs (paragraph 7-2c) are discussed below. (10) In all cases where a RAC or IRAC is cancelled, the user shall receive all information that the users may have been previously discarded as a result of the direction given in the cancelled RAC or IRAC. This will ensure users have all pertinent data, regardless of the issuance and subsequent cancellation of a RAC or IRAC. (11) All Foreign Military Sales (FMS) unique TMs including customized and sanitized are numbered uniquely and therefore all IRACs applicable to these manuals must be issued or reissued against the unique FMS TM number. (12) Exceptions. (a) Electronic Rapid Action Changes (ERACs) support the sustainment of Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM) and accomplish the purpose and function of IRACs in a digital format. (b) ERACs meet the electronic requirements of specific platforms and are issued in accordance with those conditions warranting an IRAC as defined in MIL-DTL (c) Individual program requirements dictate the presentation systems used to display ERACs and drive the specific format of those ERACs issued. 3

66 NAVAIR b. RAPID ACTION CHANGES (1) RACs are complete, formal changes to applicable TMs. (2) In addition to the pertinent technical content change information, RACs provide all the associated TM format data, such as title page, front matter, indices, etc. (3) RACs shall be used to disseminate urgent TM change information when funding, contractual and programmatic conditions make their use practical. (4) Distribution of electronic and hard copy RACs shall be in accordance with current NATEC web-posting guidelines found on NATEC Technical Manual Application System (TMAPS) website. (5) The RAC date shall be the cut-off date (copy freeze date) of the technical data being included in the RAC. (6) If a RAC is issued with incorrect data, it shall be corrected by issuing the next RAC numbered in sequence with only the affected pages corrected. (a) The TM title page shall contain a supersedure statement, which reads, "This RAC supersedes RAC No. _." TM Notice. (b) Minor errors not affecting technical content may be corrected by issuing a NAVAIR (7) RACs replacement pages or added pages are to be prepared in the same style and format as the affected TM (See paragraphs 7-3 and 7-4). (8) Formal updates shall include incorporation of all outstanding IRACs pertaining to the TM. IRACs not incorporated during the update shall be cancelled and reissued against the updated TM using a new IRAC number. c. INTERIM RAPID ACTION CHANGES (IRACs) (1) IRACs may be used when funding, contractual and programmatic circumstances make the use of RACs impractical. Formal incorporation of an IRAC into the TM is still required and must be accomplished by a formal change, revision, or RAC. (2) IRACs are issued in two types: (a) Type A issued as a Naval Message to provide urgent TM change data, with the exception of graphic images, schematics, wiring diagrams, etc., which are unsuitable for delivery by Naval Message (figure 1). 1 Upon receipt of an applicable Type A IRAC, TM users are directed to annotate the IRACs applicability to effected pages and maintain the IRAC behind the title page of the manual. information. 2 Type A IRACs provide information that applies to text and routine tabular (b) Type B issued as a hard copy or digital file to provide urgent TM changes for schematics, wiring diagrams, or other graphic images, and other forms of graphic data that cannot be included in a Type A IRAC. 4

67 NAVAIR Type B IRACs are preceded with a naval message notification. TM users are directed to maintain the notification message behind the title page of applicable manual until receipt of Type B IRAC. The originator of the TD will send an electronic copy to NATEC, via , address to nani_irac@navy.mil. 2 Upon receipt of an applicable Type B IRAC (figure 2), TM users are directed to insert enclosed change pages. The notification message is then removed and the applicable cover letter is maintained behind the existing title page and additional effected pages are annotated as applicable. 3 Type B IRACs shall be developed in a manner that allows the fleet user to download and print them from the NATEC website, so that the user can easily insert and replace them within the existing TM. (3) The main purpose of an IRAC is to ensure that the same correct technical information and its related requirements are communicated to those that require the information. Refer to WP for IETMS procedures. The following details must be included in the IRAC: (a) A notice that pen and ink changes are never authorized. (b) The exact location and description of the change explained in detail. (c) The text of the IRAC shall be clear, accurate, concise, and shall be worded in the same style and format as the affected TM. (4) All IRACs will be validated prior to release. The name of the person who performed validation of the IRAC, including activity name, code, telephone number, and address shall be provided in the IRAC. (5) IRAC Type A date shall be the Date Time Group (DTG) of the message and Type B date shall be the cut-off date (copy freeze date) of the technical data being included in the IRAC. (6) The incorporation of the IRAC into the TM shall be accomplished during the next scheduled formal update, but no later than 12 months after their release date whichever comes first. This shall be accomplished by issuance of a routine change, revision or pickup revision, in conjunction with the incorporation of additional source data, as applicable. (7) Cancelled IRAC numbers will NOT be reused. (a) When a Type A IRAC is issued with obsolete, incorrect, or incomplete data, it shall be cancelled and superseded by a new IRAC. The new IRAC shall reference the IRAC number and date or Date Time Group (DTG) of any previous IRACs it cancels. In the "Related Information" paragraph state that "Reference X is cancelled and superseded by this IRAC." (b) When a Type B IRAC is issued with obsolete, incorrect, or incomplete data, it shall be corrected by issuing the next IRAC number in sequence with the affected pages corrected. (c) IRACs not incorporated during a manual update, or received after the TM data cutoff date (copy freeze date), shall be cancelled and the data reissued as a new IRAC using a IRAC number against the current change or revision of the affected manual. (8) IRACs shall be prepared in a clear and concise manner to be as customer friendly in its meaning as possible. Grammar and spelling shall be checked via both automation and in visual proof reading. 5

68 NAVAIR (a) Any schematics that are included will be accurate and match with the explanation of the procedures and or processes referred to in the IRAC. (b) Type B IRAC's title block shall be encapsulated and contain "INTERIM RAPID ACTION CHANGE" in bold capital letters. (9) Security classification of an IRAC shall be determined from the content of the change. Classification of the IRAC shall not exceed the classification of the affected TM. (a) The security classification of an IRAC can be lower, but not higher, than the security classification of the TM being changed. (b) Security marking shall be in accordance with current security.

69 NAVAIR d. IRAC INCORPORATION INTO THE TECHNICAL MANUAL NOTE For electronic linking of IRACs to digital TMs, refer to MIL-DTL-81748E paragraph 3.9. (1) The following procedures shall be used when incorporating IRACs into paper TMs (see figure 3): (a) Insert a copy of the IRAC directly behind the title page and note its existence on the manual page to which it applies. (b) Mark the specific change area affected and annotate the changed page or card listed on the A page with a vertical line in the margin next to the changed data, opposite the binding. 1 For double-column material, mark the center margin if the inner paragraph is affected and the outer margin if the outer paragraph is affected. 2 For single-column material, mark the specific change area affected with a vertical line in the margin opposite the binding edge. 3 The line shall extend the entire length of the material affected. The entry shall be made in pencil to allow the erasure of the line in the margin in the event of another IRAC affecting the same area. (c) If the IRAC directs the insertion of a new page into a TM or a new card into an MRC deck, then the new page or card shall have the appropriate identifying information across the top and be annotated with the statement SEE IRAC ## in the text area of the page or card. (d) Enter the IRAC number in pencil in the margin. (e) Retain all IRACs, including cancelled IRACs, in the manual until receipt of the next formal update to the manual that includes a reference to each IRAC. (f) Indicate the cancellation of an IRAC in the appropriate margin, indicating that it has been cancelled and by what authority (i.e. CANCELLED BY IRAC #, RAC #, Change #, etc.) (2) The following procedures shall be used when incorporating IRACs affecting manuals on CD-ROM: (a) Affix an adhesive label to the CD-ROM case annotated with the applicable NAVAIR publication number and the IRAC number. The information on the adhesive label should be legible and positioned to allow for additional IRACs as they occur. (b) Maintain the IRAC on file until receipt of the superseding CD-ROM. (c) For IRACs affecting Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMS) maintain a copy of the IRAC in the IRAC/ERAC binder until an Electronic Rapid Action Change (ERAC) has been received, installed and verified within the IETM. (d) A QA Subject Matter Expert (SME) shall review all printed material for completeness and ensure proper control. (3) The following procedures shall be used for deploying activities when incorporating IRACs affecting manuals on JKCS: 7

70 NAVAIR (a) Maintain an IRAC/ERAC binder for each work center utilizing JKCS. This binder will contain all unincorporated IRACs for publications maintained on JKCS. It shall be reviewed and purged monthly after JKCS is updated. only. (b) Non-deploying activities may maintain an IRAC/ERAC binder for reference purposes (c) A QA Subject Matter Expert (SME) shall review all printed material for completeness and ensure proper control FORMAL CHANGE TO A CONVENTIONAL MANUAL a. Manuals that are prepared in accordance with MIL-STD in the non-work package format are referred to as conventional manuals. b. A routine manual change is the official release of new or corrected pages to a part or portion of an existing document. c. A change consists of replacement pages for that area of the manual affected by the change. This approach provides both an economical and expedient method of issuing new or corrected material to the user. d. Upon issue of the change, it is necessary for the recipient to remove the superseded pages and insert the new pages. (1) When a change is issued, existing page numbers, paragraph numbers, figure numbers, and table numbers are not changed. (2) Supplemental numbers are assigned to new pages, paragraphs, figures, and tables. (3) Except when a number is added at the end of a sequence (in which case the next consecutive number is used), paragraphs, illustrations, and tables are numbered by adding an alphabetical suffix (i.e. A, B, C) to the preceding paragraph, illustration, table, or page. (a) The same applies to added pages except that such pages shall not be added between a right-hand and left-hand page. (b) When new material is to be added to a right-hand page any overrun shall be carried to the left-hand page and the overrun from this shall be placed on an added page. Therefore, such added pages shall always be assigned even numbers such as 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B, etc. (4) Each page containing changed or added material bears the word Change XXX placed at the bottom of the page in the same corner and on the same line with the page number. (5) For foldout pages, the change number is placed in the lower-outer corner of the page beneath the Figure title. (6) This change number requirement is applicable to all added pages, including those placed at the end of a manual. (7) Change Symbology. 8

71 NAVAIR (a) Except as stated below, text and table changes, including new material on added pages, are identified by a vertical line or change symbol in the outer margin for double-columned material and margin opposite binding edge for single-columned material which extends the entire length of the material affected. (b) Pages with emergency markings (black diagonal lines around three edges) are an exception and may have the vertical line or change symbols placed along the inner margins. changed. (c) Previous change symbols on a page are deleted when a page is subsequently (d) Symbols show current changes only. 1 The vertical line change symbol shall be 3/32 inch in width. It may be 3/64 inch for pages showing emergency markings, if the symbol is not placed at the inner margin. 2 When a change symbol, such as a number sign #, plus mark +, black circle, black square, the letter C, R, or X is issued, its meaning is explained in the introductory portion of the manual. (e) Change symbols will not be used for: 1 Introductory material. 2 Indexes and tabular data where the change cannot be identified. 3 Blank space resulting from the deletion of text, an illustration, part of an illustration, or a table. 4 Correction of minor inaccuracies, such as spelling, punctuation, relocation of material, renumbering of paragraphs, etc., unless such correction changes the meaning of instructive information and procedures. 5 Replacement or addition of a complete part, chapter, or section. (f) With the exception of diagrams and schematics, illustrations, line drawings, and photographic changes are normally identified by a miniature pointing hand. The hand points to the general area of changed information. (g) Shading and screening are used for diagrams and schematics to highlight the area containing the changed information. (h) Extensively changed presentations are indicated by a screen border around the affected area. (i) Other presentation methods of the use of change symbols other than those addressed above must be approved by NATEC and will be reflected on the A page and introductory matter of the manual FORMAL CHANGE TO A WORK PACKAGE (WP) MANUAL (MANUALS PREPARED TO MIL- DTL-81927) a. A WP may be changed when one or more pages have been affected by the current change to the WP manual, or when a WP must have a Rapid Action Change (RAC) issued against it. A changed 9

72 NAVAIR WP shall consist of a changed WP title page and those pages affected by the change to the WP, including unchanged backup pages, if applicable. b. When a change is prepared to a WP manual or volume, the change may consist of one or more added or changed WPs. (1) When required, WPs may be deleted from the manual during a change cycle. Since WPs are assigned permanent numbers, deleted WP numbers shall not be reassigned to add WPs. (2) The numerical index of effective work packages/pages shall account for all added, changed, or deleted WPs affected by the change, as well as previous changes to the manual, if applicable. If one or more individual WPs have been changed, the change shall be listed on the A page. c. The first change following the basic issue to the manual shall be numbered Change 1. Subsequent changes issued shall be numbered consecutively. d. The change number and date shall be placed below the publication number on all pages affected by the change. If a page has been previously changed, the previous change number and date shall be removed and replaced by the current change number and date. e. A changed WP shall incorporate changed or added material and delete material no longer applicable to the subject of the WP. Paragraphs, illustrations, tables, pages, and index numbers on illustrations added between existing ones shall be assigned the preceding number plus consecutive capital letter suffixes. (1) Added pages shall always be assigned even numbers such as 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B, etc. in order to maintain continuity when printing. (2) Suffix letters I and O shall not be used. Other than the addition of suffix letters, existing identification numbers and suffixes shall not be renumbered. f. The change number and date shall be the same on a changed WP title page as the manual change number and date. The change number and date shall be placed in the upper left corner, below the publication number. g. Added or deleted material in a changed WP shall be prepared as follows: (1) Except when a number is added at the end of a sequence (in which case the next consecutive number is used), paragraphs, illustrations, and tables are numbered by adding an alphabetical suffix (i.e. A, B, C) to the preceding paragraph, illustration, table, or page. (a) The same applies to added pages except that such pages shall not be added between a right-hand and left-hand page. (b) When new material is to be added to a right-hand page any overrun shall be carried to the left-hand page and the overrun from this shall be placed on an added page. Therefore, such added pages shall always be assigned even numbers such as 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B, etc. (2) Added material shall be placed in proper sequential order within the WP. If this causes an overrun, the material that will not fit on the existing page shall be placed on an added page. If blank space is available on either the preceding or following page of the one affected, this space may be used for overrun material; however, correct sequential order of material must be maintained. 10

73 NAVAIR (3) Deleted paragraphs, procedural steps, or callouts following index numbers on illustrations shall be indicated by placing the word Deleted after the affected item; for example, r. Deleted. Or 2. Deleted. (4) Deleted pages shall be accounted for by placement of a note at the bottom of the preceding page or at the top of the succeeding page; for example, Page 7 Deleted. The note shall be placed within the required image area (with marginal copy). h. Changes to text, tables, and illustrations including new material on added pages shall be indicated by change symbols. All existing change symbols shall be eliminated from pages affected by the current change. After removal of previous change symbols, new change symbols shall be inserted, highlighting material changed or added during the change to the WP. i. Change Symbology. (1) The text and tabular data affected by the change to a manual is indicated by the letter R or a change bar in the left margin for left column changed material and in the right margin for right column changed material (double-column format manuals) or in the right margin for single-column format manuals. (2) Change symbols for illustrations are in accordance with the following: (a) IPB illustrations do not require change symbols. (b) On line drawings (other than diagrams), a miniature pointing hand is used to highlight the area containing the changed information. (c) When several changes are made at once in the same area of an illustration, a change bar may be used to indicate a general area. (d) A vertical line next to changed text and callouts on illustrations is used in lieu of a pointing hand. (e) A change bar may also be used on a graph to indicate a change. (f) When an illustration has been extensively changed, a change bar is placed across the top of the reproduction area (full-page illustrations) or in the left or right margin as applicable (partial page illustrations). (g) On diagrams, bordering or pointing hands are used to indicate the area containing the changed or added information. (h) A change bar around the affected presentation, or a change bar indicates extensively changed or added areas across the top of the image area affected. (i) Other presentation methods of the use of change symbols other than those addressed above must be approved by NATEC and will be reflected on the A page and introductory matter of the manual REVISION OF A NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL a. Conventional format figure 4 and Work Package format figure 5. b. A revision is a second or subsequent edition of a manual that supersedes the previous edition. A revision constitutes a complete reissue of a manual with all updated information incorporated. 11

74 NAVAIR c. Identification of a revision is made by a supersedure notice on the title page and a new issue date PICK-UP REVISION TO A NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL a. This is an economical way of putting out a complete manual to alleviate a low stock situation in the warehouse. Before printing a new change the change is collated into the manual and the whole manual is printed for distribution and stock. b. A pick-up revision incorporates the basic manual, all previous changes and the new data that would require the issuance of an additional change. Only those changed, revised or added WPs/pages shall have the current change number and date. (1) Other existing WPs/pages shall be reissued without changes to dates, change symbols or other modification. (2) A supersedure notice is placed on the title page as reading: This manual supersedes A1-XXXXXX/NAVAIR XXXXXX dated with change X. The latest change information, change dated DD MMM YYYY has been incorporated in this issue NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL NOTICES a. The NAVAIR TM Notice is the method for correcting minor errors in NAVAIR TMs that do not require the issuance of a formal change. b. It shall apply only to unclassified TMs, including PMRM issued as cards, and checklists. Issuance of the NAVAIR TM Notice is limited to omissions/corrections of title and A pages, and replacement of missing pages and dates, not for correction to technical content. (1) Replacement text pages shall be issued only to correct typographical errors or to replace illegible copy. (2) Replacement pages shall be prepared in the same style and format and shall not exceed five pages. c. NAVAIR TM Notices shall not be used to correct and/or change the technical content of NAVAIR manuals. d. The NAVAIR TM Notice shall contain the publication number, a date which is at least one day later than the formal change date or the basic date if there are no changes of the manual, card(s), or checklist to be corrected and a clear, concise reason for the Notice. The identifier, Notice, shall be in boldface type and placed on the four corners. e. NAVAIR TM Notices are not listed on A pages of NAVAIR TMs. f. NAVAIR TM Notice sheets shall be retained directly behind the title page (figure 6). Retain NOTICE until incorporated by a change or revision. 12

84 NAVAIR CONTROL OF CLASSIFIED PUBLICATIONS a. As directed in Department of the Navy Information Security Program Regulation, SECNAVINST , each Commanding Officer will designate a Security Manager to be responsible for the administration of the Information Security Program for the command. b. Each command shall publish written security procedures specifying how the requirements of SECNAVINST will be accomplished within the command. c. Close coordination between the CTPL and the command s Security Manager is essential. Procedures will be established for the dissemination of classified material originated or received by the CTPL SUPPLEMENTS a. A supplement is a subsidiary document that complements information in a manual. b. It is prepared as specified in the basic contract or order and conforms in style and format to the requirements of the specifications used to prepare the basic manual. c. CLASSIFIED SUPPLEMENTS (1) When classified information comprises 10 percent or less of the manual s contents and is concentrated in one area of the TM, the information is normally prepared as a classified supplement to the manual. (2) Such action permits the basic manual to be issued at a lower classification or as an unclassified manual. (3) The title pages of both the basic manual and the supplement contain a cross-reference note to each other. (4) In the conventional numbering system, a classified supplement (either confidential or secret) is generally identified by a suffix letter, A, to the last numerical digit of the publication number. On the other hand, Technical Manual Identification Numbering System (TMINS) uses a C for confidential and an S for secret. d. SUPPLEMENTS TO DOD TECHNICAL MANUALS (1) Occasionally, elements of DOD make joint use of weapon systems or equipment. Under these circumstances the documents supporting the equipment are established for joint use. However, these manuals are normally prepared to the specifications and support concept of the executive or procuring service. (2) The Navy, because of its unique shipboard operational environment, must employ maintenance concepts and support criteria peculiar to its shipboard requirements. As a result, its selection of maintenance actions, support equipment, and spare parts differ greatly from that of other services. (3) To support unique Navy shipboard requirements, NAVAIR procures either a separate manual or a supplement to an existing manual. (4) A supplement carries the same title and manual number as the basic document, plus one or more alphabetic or numeric suffixes and the word supplement printed at the top of the title page. 2

85 NAVAIR other. (5) The title pages of the basic and the supplement shall contain a cross-reference to each e. COMMERCIAL MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS (1) When a commercial manual has been approved, but requires additional data to make it completely adequate, a supplement will be prepared. (2) A supplement is prepared to provide additional instructions, definition of maintenance concept, illustrations, and parts list data including SM&R codes. (3) A supplement shall be prepared in accordance with the technical manual general style and format requirements of military specification MIL-STD APPENDICES a. An appendix is used to include material in a manual that is not a part of the normal sequence of the manual, such as tables, charts, etc. Such added material becomes an integral part of the affected manual. b. When required, appendices follow the last section of a manual. Each appendix is identified with a capital letter, i.e., Appendix A. c. Pages, paragraphs, illustrations, and tables for appendices are numbered in Arabic numerals, preceded by the capital letters of the appendix, i.e., A-10 is the tenth page or paragraph in Appendix A; Figure B-10 is the tenth illustration in Appendix B; Table C-10 is the tenth table in Appendix C. d. Appendices will not appear in work package manuals SECURITY AND CLASSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS a. GENERAL (1) Department of the Navy Information Security Program Regulation SECNAVINST provides all departments of the Navy activities and personnel with regulations and guidance for classifying and safeguarding classified information. (2) For Weapon System/Equipment/Component technical manuals, the applicable Navy security classification guidance (OPNAVINST ) and/or the Contract Security Classification Specification (DD Form 254) are the authority for classifying TMs. OPNAVINST and DD Form 254 are reviewed every 2 years and maintained current through coordination with NAVAIR Security (AIR- 07T). b. SAFEGUARDING CLASSIFIED TECHNICAL MANUALS (1) Storage, disposal, and handling of all classified TMs must conform to SECNAVINST regulations. (2) The NAVAIR TMs described in this publication are prepared in accordance with classification categories for unclassified, confidential, secret, or top-secret security requirements. (3) Classified TMs are appropriately marked and identified and must be safeguarded in accordance with SECNAVINST regulations. 3

86 NAVAIR (4) SECNAVINST regulations also establish the basic policy that no person shall be granted access to classified information that is subject to investigation under the provisions of this regulation unless it is clearly consistent with the interests of national security. c. IDENTIFYING SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF TECHNICAL MANUALS The security classification of each TM can be determined by viewing the technical data for that manual on the NATEC website at d. SECURITY CLASSIFICATION CHANGES (1) Changes in classification of TMs will be processed as rapidly as possible after such action is approved. (2) These methods are used to accomplish technical manual classification change actions: (a) Letter correspondence authorizing downgrading actions. (b) Change or cancellation notices printed on title pages of TMs received. (c) Electronic messages authorizing immediate classification actions. (3) Receipt of change notices through these methods constitutes authority for all holders of classified technical manuals to mark copies in accordance with the announced changes. e. PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DECLASSIFICATION OF TECHNICAL MANUALS (1) Users shall inform the cognizant NATEC LEM before taking local action to declassify TMs. (2) The NATEC LEM will request the NAVAIR Security Office (AIR-07T) and/or the appropriate command to confirm the classification. (3) Accordingly, the cognizant NATEC LEM will advise the user of the proper classification. f. REPORTING UNSATISFACTORY SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF TECHNICAL MANUALS (1) If any using activity has reason to believe that security considerations fail to fully support the classification assigned to a specific manual, or the assigned classification is no longer applicable (downgrading required), the using activity should bring this issue to the attention of the activity s Security Officer. (2) The using activity should then submit a TPDR, in accordance with the requirements described in WP g. QUESTIONS CONCERNING CLASSIFICATION OR SECURITY OF TECHNICAL MANUALS (1) Questions concerning classification or security of TMs shall be referred to the SECNAVINST regulations and the using activity s Security Officer for additional guidance. 4

96 NAVAIR GENERAL a. Code numbers are assigned to manuals for the purpose of identification. The numerical and alphabetical combination of a NAVAIR TM number identifies the basic equipment category, main groups within the category, specific item of equipment, type of usage, type or model designation and specific type of manual. b. Code numbers are identified as the conventional numbering system and the Technical Manual Identification Numbering System (TMINS) CONVENTIONAL NUMBERING SYSTEM a. The NAVAIR manual conventional numbering system consists of a prefix and combination of numbers and letters divided into three parts separated by dashes (figure 1). b. Additional numbers may be added to designate multiple volumes of a manual. c. The TM prefix, i.e., NAVAIR, identifies the command responsible for developing and maintaining the manual (figure 2). d. The three parts that make up the remaining portions of the number are as follows: (1) Part I of the TM number is a two digit number (in some cases, two digits and a letter) that designate the general subject classification or major category of the manual, i.e., 01 for airframes, 02 for power plants, 03 for accessories, etc. (Refer to WP ). (2) Part ll of the TM number consists of numbers and/or numbers and letters that identify either the basic aircraft model, manufacturer of specific aircraft and engine or the specific class, group, or subcategory of the manual, i.e., NAVAIR 01-F14AAA (Grumman), 01-75PAA (Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company), 02B-10 (Pratt & Whitney) or NAVAIR (jet engine fuel system and related equipment) (figure 3). (3) Part lli of the TM number may or may not have identifiable numerical significance within the airframe, missile, and power plant series. The number usually identifies a particular type of manual, i.e., NAVAIR 01-XXXX-2 (-2 maintenance), NAVAIR 01-XXXXX-3 (-3 structural repair), NAVAIR 01-XXXXX-4 (-4 IPB), etc. (figure 4). (a) Additional numbers may be added to indicate system grouping breakout by volume or subsystem grouping by sub-volume, i.e., NAVAIR 01-XXXX-2-2. The second -2 indicates the second volume of the maintenance series, which is usually grouped by system. Periods in a TM number should only be used when a manual is part of a multivolume set due to its size and requires more than one 3- inch binder to store it in. (b) If the number assignment is NAVAIR 01-XXXX (or 01-XXX-2-2-3), the.3 (or -3) indicates a sub-volume or sub-system within a grouping. (c) This system does not hold true in all cases. In many TM number assignments, the suffix numbers are assigned in numerical sequence for identification only and have no significance as to the type of manual. e. TMs currently assigned a NAVAIR number will not be renumbered under the Technical Manual Identification Numbering System (TMINS). A dual system, conventional and TMINS will remain in effect indefinitely. 2

97 NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERING SYSTEM (TMINS) a. The TMINS is a numbering system developed in coordination with other Systems Commands. This change was in response to a Naval Material Command sponsored project for standardizing TM numbers and their method of assignment. b. The numbering system was promulgated by N IDX-000/TMINS. c. The NAVAIR version of the TMINS was implemented by NATEC. d. The intent of TMINS was to provide a single user oriented numbering and indexing system and to satisfy the requirements of the Naval Material Systems Command for identifying, referencing, and requisitioning TMs and their associated revisions/changes. e. TMINS assigns each TM a unique identifying alphanumeric number patterned after the 13 digit stock number, i.e., 0000-LP The 13-character TMINS number serves as the TM identification number. f. In addition to its identification number, TMINS contains a provision for adding a suffix, using a C, for confidential and an, S, for secret. g. TMINS numbers are not to be used for requisitioning purposes. Use stock numbers for requisitioning. h. CONSTRUCTION (1) Most of the following information has been taken from NAVAIR Instruction and is provided herein to acquaint the reader with the basic philosophy of the TMINS system. (2) TMINS is a 13-character alphanumeric technical manual code number (figure 5). The number is developed using Command, Commodity, Weapon System Designation, Subject Identifiers, Work Unit Codes, and acronyms. i. SAMPLE CODE DEFINITIONS BY DIGIT (figure 6). As an aid to understanding the numbering system, selected codes have been provided. Figure 6 is organized by digit position within the overall TMINS number and then some of the codes one would expect to find. j. SAMPLE CONVENTIONAL/TMINS MANUAL NUMBER COMPARISONS (figure 7). A listing of TMINS as compared to conventional numbers is provided for information purposes only. k. SAMPLE TMINS NUMBERS (figure 8). A sampling of TMINS manual numbers is provided for illustrative purposes USE OF STOCK NUMBERS AND BAR CODES ON NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUALS a. NAVICP Philadelphia manages NAVAIR TM warehouse stock as items of supply. Use of stock numbers and bar codes is an integral part of the NAVICP Philadelphia supply operation. b. By adding the stock number and bar code to the title page of each TM, the item manager at NAVICP Philadelphia can provide positive identification and timely instruction on where the stock should go. Also, issue accuracy is improved since the stock number and bar code can be matched to the issue documents that cite the stock numbers and bar codes. 3

98 NAVAIR c. In accordance with NAVSUPINST and NAVSUPINST , a stock number and/or bar code has appeared in the lower left corner on title pages of all NAVAIR TMs distributed after 1 August The stock number should be used on all requisitions for NAVAIR TM as described in WP CD-ROM NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR PDF MANUALS (See table 1) a. The numbering system consists of a 13-position code, i.e., A1-CDF18AD-001. (1) Positions one and two (A1) indicate a NAVAIR TM and positions three and four (CD) indicates this is a CD-ROM. (2) Positions one through four will always be "A1-CD". (3) Positions five through seven indicate the type of manual (i.e. F18). (4) Positions eight through ten are to be used for additional characters to describe the type of manual when three digits are not sufficient (i.e. F18C/D). (5) When additional characters are not required these digits will be zeros. For instance, the first E-2C CD-ROM would be A1-CDE2C and the first F/A18A/B/C/D CD-ROM would be A1- CDFA18AD-001. (E2C). (a) Designations for all other weapon systems peculiar TMs will use a three-position code (b) The zero (0) is used in position five (TD) as a placeholder when not used as an identifying character, e.g., 0TD for Technical Directives. (c) Positions eight through ten are to be used for additional characters to describe the type of manual when three digits are not sufficient. (d) Positions eleven through thirteen will be in a sequence beginning at 001 and continuing, as required, to the highest sequence, 999. through ten. (e) A fully outfitted CTPL will have several types of TMs as indicated in positions five b. Exceptions to the above numbering system are permitted for: (1) existing technical data in digital format such as Electronic CAD/PAD, NA CD. The designator indicates the material contained within is Cartridge Actuated Devices; and (2) technical data requested such as CD on Demand (COD). c. COD's are numbered similarly to the weapons system; positions one through four are A1-CD. Positions five through ten are the Unit Identification Code (UIC). (1) Positions eleven through thirteen are an alphabetical serial code beginning with AAA for the first CD-ROM ordered. (2) This 13-position code will represent this CD-ROM for as long as it is needed. (3) Subsequent orders for the manuals therein will use the same number, even if the composition is revised. 4

99 NAVAIR (4) The front of the CD-ROM will state that it supersedes previous issues. d. Examples of CD-ROMs are shown in figure 9. 5

128 NAVAIR NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL PROGRAM (Quality Assurance) a. GENERAL (1) Management Requirements. NAVAIR has established a centralized management program for the acquisition and maintenance of Technical Manuals (TMs). The acquisition and maintenance of all TMs must be effectively managed through the life cycle of the system/equipment that the TMs support. (2) Technical Manual Management Agency (TMMA) (Refer to NAVAIRINST ) (a) NATEC is the NAVAIR designated Technical Manual Management Agency (TMMA) responsible for implementing TM policy and managing and coordinating the NAVAIR TM program. (b) Primary management responsibilities for TMs are vested in the NATEC Technical Data Logistics Element Management Department. b. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM (Refer to NAVAIRINST ) (1) A continuing TM Quality Assurance (QA) Program must be maintained to assure the adequacy, accuracy, and usability of technical documentation. (2) To further enhance this effort, NAVAIRSYSCOMHQ authorized the establishment and implementation of a QA Branch within the Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Command (NATEC) organization to manage QA functions. (3) Quality in documentation is attained through a uniform program of monitoring contractor production, joint government and contractor in-process reviews, contractor validation, fleet verification, and fleet use. (4) The Technical Manual Quality Assurance functions have been delegated to Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Command (NATEC) QUALITY ASSURANCE BRANCH QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES a. For a TM to be of use in a Navy fleet maintenance environment, its information must be accurate, adequate in depth and scope of coverage, clear in meaning, usable, and complete. b. The text and illustrations must be arranged in logical, functional order and properly indexed to make the information readily accessible to the user. c. The content must accurately describe the equipment being covered and it must cover all configurations in the fleet. d. Quality assurance is the means used to assure that TMs are adequate, accurate, and usable DEFINITIONS a. Full appreciation and understanding of the policy and requirements criteria covering the TM Quality Assurance Program require that the basic definitions of various program elements be thoroughly understood. Detail information is contained in AL-855TM-GYD

129 NAVAIR b. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM PLANNING CONFERENCES (1) The primary objective of the Quality Assurance Program Planning Conference is to ensure an adequate understanding of all contractors' quality assurance requirements relative to a specific TM acquisition. (2) The conference will also provide the opportunity for establishing contacts and providing guidance on various quality assurance techniques, which can be applied to the TM preparation processes and procedures. c. GUIDANCE MEETING (1) At the request of the NATEC LEM, FST, contractor, or Preparing Activity, NATEC QA Branch will coordinate and schedule a guidance meeting at a negotiated site. (2) The guidance meeting is convened to ensure that the contractor/preparing activity is experienced in the latest TM specifications, that source data is adequate and available to the writer, and that all other logistics elements affecting the manual are in place or programmed. (3) If available, the manual outline will be reviewed and approved. (4) In some cases, user activities will be invited to participate and provide their expertise. d. IN-PROCESS REVIEW (1) The in-process review (IPR) is specifically designed and implemented to generate improved government quality control/contractor coordination and communication during the TM preparation stages. It is anticipated that many problems can be detected and solved prior to the initial issue of the manual. (2) It is intended that this process reap benefits such as early problem detection, proper source data use, reduced cost and man-hour expenditure, as well as guaranteeing manual preparation in strict accordance with contract requirements, specifications, maintenance plans, and user needs, (3) IPR's are held at the contractor's facility but can also be held at a designated Navy facility. the Navy. (a) IPR's intended for locations other than the contractor's facility must be approved by (b) The contractor may request IPR's at any time during the term of contract when assistance or clarification is desired. (c) The Navy will request additional IPR's when it appears the program is not proceeding according to schedule. (4) The Preparing Activity/Navy will act as recorder and record decisions, results, and findings during the IPR's utilizing the Technical Manual Evaluation Record (TMER). The Navy will provide a copy of all recorded IPR comments to all parties concerned. (5) The Navy and the contractor shall resolve IPR findings that involve problem areas or findings that require further evaluation before final disposition. Discrepancies or deficiencies found as a result of the IPR shall be corrected prior to certification or acceptance of the TM. (6) User activities may be invited to participate when technical expertise is required. 3

130 NAVAIR e. VALIDATION (1) Validation was developed and imposed in contracts in an effort to detect and correct technical errors in data being developed for fleet operation and maintenance prior to manual issue. It was designated as the process by which the contractor tests a TM for adequacy and accuracy. (2) Validation is normally conducted at the contractor's facility, but under certain circumstances may be conducted at the user site. It entails the actual performance, by contractor personnel, of operation and maintenance procedures, including checkout, alignment, removal and installation, disassembly and assembly instructions, and associated checklists to ensure their technical accuracy and adequacy. (3) All disassembly and assembly or removal and installation procedures are validated by actual performance. All other data, such as troubleshooting procedures, SM&R codes in IPB's, schematic diagrams, wiring lists/data, etc., contained in maintenance manuals, and other descriptive data is check against current, approved source data. f. VERIFICATION (1) Verification is a proofing process by which the Navy assures adequacy, accuracy, and usability of the TM in the user's environment. (2) Verification is conducted by using approved production equipment and Navy approved support equipment under the coordination responsibility of a NATEC QA Specialist. (3) Fleet maintenance personnel, of the maintenance level required by the manual, test and prove written procedures. (4) Comments are recorded and dispositioned by the preparing activity resulting in TM changes, which assure a more accurate manual for use in the fleet environment. manual. (5) Dedicated participation by the user activity is required to guarantee the quality of the g. ADEQUACY REVIEW (1) The adequacy review is convened and chaired by NATEC QA Specialist who is assisted by fleet technical personnel to determine TM accuracy, adequacy, and usability. (2) When contractually required, adequacy reviews monitor the preparation of IPB and documentation in support of the PMS and may be conducted on maintenance instruction manuals to determine adequacy prior to verification. Adequacy reviews are conducted on IPB's to ensure that the coverage is in accordance with the approved SM&R codes while PMS documentation is reviewed to ensure it is ready for fleet evaluation. (3) Adequacy reviews are also performed on commercial manuals, government manuals from other services, foreign military services manuals, existing NAVAIR manuals that have a history of errors, and any other type of manual being considered for the assignment of a NAVAIR number. (4) Adequacy reviews are held at the contractor's facility but can also be held at a designated Navy facility. (a) Adequacy reviews intended for locations other than the contractor's facility must be approved by the Navy. 4

131 NAVAIR (b) The contractor may request adequacy reviews at any time during the term of the contract when assistance or clarification is desired. (c) The Navy will request additional adequacy reviews when it appears the program is not proceeding according to schedule. (5) The Navy will act as recorder and record decisions, results, and findings during the adequacy review utilizing the TMCR. The Navy will provide a copy of all recorded adequacy review comments to the contractor. (6) The Navy and the contractor shall resolve adequacy review findings that involve problem areas or findings that require further evaluation before final disposition. Discrepancies or deficiencies found as a result of the adequacy review shall be corrected prior to certification or acceptance of the TM. h. FLEET REVIEW (1) A Fleet Review is a review performed on some NAVAIR manuals that are being considered for change or revision, to ensure that they meet the needs of the user. (2) Fleet reviews are normally convened by the Technical Manual Cognizant Field Activity (TMCFA) or NATEC QA Specialist and are assisted by a team of Fleet Technicians. 5/(6 Blank)

134 NAVAIR TECHNICAL PUBLICATION DEFICIENCY REPORTING PROGRAM a. Technical publication deficiencies are prepared in accordance with the Naval Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP) and reported using the Technical Publication Deficiency Reporting (TPDR) process. The process provides simplified procedures for reporting technical publication safety hazards (Category 1or CAT 1) and routine deficiencies (Category 2 through 4 or CAT 2 through 4) found in NAVAIR TMs. b. This work package (WP) will familiarize users of NAVAIR manuals with how to report deficiencies in TMs. They are not used for reporting deficiencies in instructions or notices. c. For the purpose of this work package, a deficiency is defined as a TM lacking some form of quality, faculty, or characteristic necessary for accuracy and completeness. Some of the more prevalent deficiencies are: (1) Incomplete information, (2) Technical inaccuracy, (3) Erroneous information, (4) Incorrect artwork, (5) Missing details, (6) Incorrect/lacking part numbers, (7) Format errors affecting maintenance, (8) Warnings/Cautions not identified, (9) Incorrect operating procedures, (10) Incomplete troubleshooting, (11) Incorrect or non-working electronic links, (12) Inaccuracies of any other kind. d. Originators must submit separate TPDRs for each discrepancy whether the discrepancies are in the same or a different manual. This will facilitate tracking and final resolution of a valid TPDR for incorporation into the affected technical manual. IETM users may additionally submit via electronic format TYPES OF DEFICIENCY REPORTING PROGRAMS a. There are two types of manuals used to support Naval Aviation. (1) They are TM and Naval Aviation Tactical Operations Procedures Standardization (NATOPS). (2) Each has a separate and distinct process for reporting deficiencies. (3) Both methods will be outlined in this work package. 2

135 NAVAIR b. Deficiencies discovered in NAVAIR TDs (WP ) shall be reported using the same methods as TMs. (1) CAT 1 and CAT 2 through 4 TPDRs against NAVAIR 17-20, 17-50, and series manuals are to be submitted using the process outlined in WP They are not to be submitted to NATEC. (2) Refer to COMNAVAIRFORINST , and OPNAVINST for a complete description of types of TMs, and detailed instructions on the use and transmittal of TPDRs. c. Refer to WP for IETM procedures TECHNICAL PUBLICATION DEFICIENCY REPORT a. CAT 1, 2, 3 AND 4 TPDR REPORT CONTROL NUMBER (RCN). The originating activity assigns a Report Control Number (RCN), which is also used as a tool in tracking the TPDR. (1) When utilizing CAT 1 message, the RCN is comprised of four elements. (a) The first character is the service designator code (N, V, or R) of the originating activity, N is for Navy and Marine Corps aviation nondeploying units, V is for Navy and Marine Corps aviation Atlantic Fleet operating forces, and R is for Navy and Marine Corps Pacific operating forces. (b) The next five characters are the originating activity Unit Identification Code (UIC), for example for (c) The middle two digits are the last two numbers of the calendar year, for example, 06 (d) The last four digits are locally assigned control number, sequentially assigned by the originator and revert to 0001 at the beginning of each calendar year. One set of sequential numbers will be used by each originating activity for all NAMDRP reports and are assigned sequentially without regard for the type of report. (2) When utilizing CAT 2 through 4 on the NATEC web site, RCN is comprised of the three elements identified in paragraph b(1)(b) through (d) above. See COMNAVAIRFORINST for other types of reports that are included in the NAMDRP report numbering system. b. CATEGORY 1 TPDR (CAT 1) is required when a technical publication deficiency is detected which, if not corrected, could result in death or injury to or loss of aircraft, equipment, or facilities. (1) A CAT 1 TPDR (see figure 1) priority message shall be submitted within 24 hours after discovery of a deficiency. Originators will include NATEC as an addressee on messages using the plain language address (PLAD): NATEC SAN DIEGO CA//6.8.5//. (2) Reference to IETM bookmarks or other descriptive files that will be uploaded to the NATEC website could be included in paragraph 22m (Recommendations block on the CAT 1 TPDR message). 3

136 NAVAIR c. CATEGORY 2, 3, AND 4 TPDR (CAT 2, 3, and 4) are non-safety related TM deficiencies which, if not corrected, may impact mission readiness but would not result in either death or injury or loss of aircraft, equipment, or facilities. These deficiencies include technical errors, wrong measurement values, incorrect use of support equipment (SE), wrong sequence of adjustments, part number errors or omissions, etc. They are defined as follows: (1) Category 2 or CAT 2 is required when a non-safety related technical data deficiency results in ineffective maintenance practices that directly impacts mission accomplishment in an adverse manner, causing a maintenance delay of eight hours or more. All non-safety measurement value discrepancies (PSI, torque values, voltage readings, etc.) shall be submitted as a CAT 2 discrepancy. In addition, part number discrepancies causing a maintenance delay of eight hours or more shall be submitted as a CAT 2 TPDR. (2) Category 3 or CAT 3 is a non-safety related technical data deficiency, for which an acceptable workaround caused a maintenance delay of less than eight hours. In addition, part number discrepancies causing a maintenance delay of less than eight hours shall be submitted as a CAT 3 TPDR. (3) Category 4 or CAT 4 is a technical data deficiency of a non-technical or administrative nature, that has no safety or mission impact. CAT 4 TPDRs include misspelled words, List of Effective Page or typographical errors. NOTE CAT 4 TPDRs shall not be used to report illegible or incorrect part numbers or measurement values, including torque, voltage, pressure, or other measurement readings. These are not considered typographical errors and shall be reported as CAT 1 or 2, as previously defined. d. CAT 2, 3, and 4 TPDRs shall be submitted digitally using NATEC web site at (see figure 2). Submission of digital TPDRs allows for quicker receipt, review, response, and resolution by the cognizant Fleet Support Team (FST)/Lead Maintenance Technology Center (LMTC). In addition, TPDRs statuses and reports may be obtained. The TPDR originator receives notification of changes in the status of the TPDR if an address was provided during TPDR submission (1) If web site entry is not possible, TPDRs may be submitted via to nani_tpdr@navy.mil.

144 NAVAIR NAVAIR TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE (TD) SYSTEM a. The TD system is the only authorized medium for directing the accomplishment and recording of modifications and one-time inspections of NAVAIR accepted equipment. b. NAVAIR INSTRUCTION contains governing policy instructions on the TD system. NAVAIR is the management and procedures manual for the TD system. c. The Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL) will maintain a master file of applicable TDs. Copies of TDs properly stamped, issued, and controlled by the CTPL are authorized for use in work centers. NOTE Effective TD changes and bulletins, which affect Aviation Life Support Systems (ALSS) equipment and clothing, and are issued between changes or revisions to ALSS manuals, should be recorded in the appropriate section of the manual as directed by the TD change or bulletin. The modified section of the manual for the affected equipment shall be annotated in the outer margin of the page with a vertical line and the number of the TD change or bulletin. A copy of the TD change or bulletin will be filed in a separate binder in the ALSS work center. When ALSS manuals are updated, these changes will be incorporated into the applicable chapters and the text of the chapters updated to reflect these TD changes and bulletins. IMAs may hold, in the work center (on a controlled basis), copies of TDs considered to be ongoing. d. Deficiencies discovered in the TD system shall be reported as a CAT 1 TPDR Message or as a CAT 2, 3 or 4 TPDR (WP ) TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE TYPES a. A TD is a collective term, which includes four types of technical issues: Formal Change, Interim Change, Bulletin, and Rapid Action Minor Engineering Change (RAMEC). b. FORMAL CHANGE. A Formal Change TD directs the accomplishment and recording of a configuration change; that is, a material change, a repositioning, a modification, or an alteration in the characteristics of a system. Normally, a Change is issued as a formal (hard copy) document identified as an Airframe Change (AFC), Avionics Change (AVC), Support Equipment Change (SEC), etc. c. INTERIM CHANGE. Urgency sometimes dictates dissemination of a TD by message or message format letter when enclosures are required. Under these circumstances this action is designated as an Interim Change. d. BULLETIN. A Bulletin directs a one-time inspection to determine whether a given condition exists and specifies what action shall be taken if the condition is found. (1) It may contain instructions for corrective action using approved repair procedures, provided no change in material or configuration is involved. (2) Or, it may require issuing a change TD to remedy a deficiency. (3) Bulletins are disseminated as Naval messages or as message format letters when enclosures are required. 2

145 NAVAIR (4) When required and appropriate, a Bulletin may include direction for issuing an IRAC or for creating a local MRC to establish continuing inspection requirements for the same action. Grounding Bulletins restrict flight operations by requiring inspection prior to further flight, preflight, turn-around, daily inspection, next equipment use, or within the next ten flight hours. e. RAPID ACTION MINOR ENGINEERING CHANGE (RAMEC). The concept of the RAMEC program is "fleet self-help". A RAMEC directs the accomplishment and recording of a minor configuration change. (1) RAMECs are issued by Naval messages or letters (in message format) as change TDs (e.g., AFCs, AVCs). (2) NAVAIR , Appendix D, describes the management and procedures functions of the NAVAIR RAMEC TD system. (3) NAVAIR or specifically designated approval authority at cognizant field activities shall issue these types of technical directives. (4) TYCOM/Controlling Custodian re-addresses and disseminates RAMEC TDs to subordinate activities TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE CATEGORIES a. Four categories of TDs are assigned in accordance with the importance and urgency of accomplishing the work involved. The four TD categories are: Immediate Action, Urgent Action, Routine Action, and Record Purpose. b. IMMEDIATE. This category shall be used when an uncorrected, unsafe condition exists which could result in fatal or serious injury to personnel; or extensive damage to or destruction of valuable property; and such conditions embody risks that are calculated to be unacceptable. (1) The urgency of this category requires immediate action to: (a) Ground aircraft, (b) Prevent launch of missiles, or (c) Deny use of related support equipment or munitions. reports. (2) Assignment of this category shall be justified by incident, accident, hazard, or similar (3) CNO/CMC concurrence is mandatory. c. URGENT. This category shall be issued under the governing factors of combat necessity or potential hazardous conditions that could result in injury to personnel, damage to valuable property, or unacceptable reductions in operational readiness. (1) These conditions compromise safety or embody risks that are calculated to be acceptable only within definite time and/or performance limits. (2) Urgency of this category requires compliance within specified time limits. to: (3) If compliance is not accomplished by expiration of time limit, this category requires action 3

146 NAVAIR (a) Ground aircraft, (b) Discontinue use of air-launched weapons, (c) Prevent launch of missiles, equipment, (d) Discontinue operation of ground communications, electronic or meteorological (e) Discontinue use of support equipment, personnel equipment, materials, or munitions. d. ROUTINE. This category shall be issued for conditions that embody degrees of risk calculated to be acceptable within broad time limits. (1) The uncorrected existence of these conditions could: (a) Constitute a hazard through prolonged use, (b) Have a negative effect on operational effectiveness or readiness, (c) Reduce tactical utility or supportability, (d) Reduce operational service life. (2) Routine Action category shall not be assigned to Interim Change TDs or Bulletins. e. RECORD PURPOSE. The Record Purpose category is assigned to Formal Change TDs issued to document configuration changes that have been incorporated in all affected equipment by the change designer/originator before the TD is issued. (1) The primary purpose of the Record Purpose TD is to provide the official record of an engineering change for Technical Directive Status Accounting (TDSA) purposes. (2) Some additional criteria governing use of Record Purpose TDs are: (a) TDs that require forced retrofit or changes to spares in the inventory may not be assigned the Record Purpose category. Purpose. (b) TDs issued to supersede and formalize Interim Change TDs may not be Record (c) Bulletins, Interim Change TDs, RAMECs, and other message TDs may not be assigned the Record Purpose category. (d) The Record Purpose category may be assigned only to Formal Change TDs and only when the period for change incorporation in all affected systems is 18 months or less from date of NAVAIR Change Control Board (CCB) approval. (e) Record Purpose TDs may be used to support changes applicable only to Foreign Military Sales (FMS), on an exception basis, when approved by the NASC. 4

147 NAVAIR METHODS OF UPDATING TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES a. AMENDMENT. An amendment to a TD clarifies, corrects, adds to, deletes from, makes minor changes, extends a target completion date, or cancels an existing TD, revision or amendment. (1) An Amendment shall include: TD category, TD title, TD number, TD code, amendment number, issue date, target completion date, subject, references (if required), purpose, detailed instructions, signature, prepared by, and verified by. (For example refer to WP , figure 3) (2) The PURPOSE section of Amendments shall state the reason the amendment is required. (3) When applicable, an amendment to a TD shall explicitly state additional work required on equipment modified or inspected in accordance with the basic TD, existing amendments, or previous revision. (4) A maximum of three amendments may be issued before a revision shall be required. (5) Amendments are identified numerically (e.g. AVC 3500 Amendment 1). b. REVISION. A Revision is a completely new edition of an existing TD. (1) The DOCUMENTATION AFFECTED section of Revisions shall state that the revision supersedes the basic TD or previous TD Revision and all existing amendments thereto. (2) The PURPOSE section of Revisions shall re-state the purpose of the basic TD, and in addition, state the reason the revision is required. (3) When applicable, a Revision to a TD shall explicitly state the additional work required on equipment modified or inspected in accordance with the basic TD, existing amendments, or previous revision. (4) If a rescinded/completed TD requires reactivation status, it shall be issued as a Revision. (5) Revisions are identified alphabetically (e.g., AVC 3500 Revision A) TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE COMPLETION, SUPERSEDURE, AND CANCELLATION a. COMPLETION (FORMERLY RESCISSION). Completion is the normal process by which TDs are moved from active TD files to the history TD files when records show all compliance have been accomplished. The terms Completion and Target Completion Date have replaced Rescission and Rescission Date. (1) A completed TD is not cancelled or repealed. It has simply been moved administratively to an inactive (History) file to facilitate and better focus management attention on active TDs. (2) All TDs, except Interim Changes, are assigned Target Completion Dates. This date represents a future point in time when compliance requirements are expected to be complete. (3) A TD does not have to be extended past its Target Completion Date, or reactivated to be complied with. COMNAVAIRSYSCOM (AIR ) should issue kits on demand. Kits should be ordered and compliance actions should be performed regardless of whether a TD is in active or completed status. 5

148 NAVAIR (4) Completed TDs shall not be discarded. They shall be retained as a permanent record of system configuration by NATEC and at the designated compliance maintenance level. b. SUPERSEDURE. Supersedure is the process by which an issued/published TD is removed from active files upon issue of a superseding TD. (1) Interim Change TDs are superseded by Formal Change TDs. (2) TD Revisions supersede the basic TDs, including all previously issued amendments and revisions to them. c. CANCELLATION. Cancellation terminates compliance requirements and removes TDs from the active files. (1) Cancelled TDs may be discarded. (2) TD cancellation is affected by issuing a TD amendment. (3) Cancellation is applicable to any TD, if after approval, a program manager decides it should be terminated for any reason TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES ISSUED IN PARTS a. When a TD is to be issued in parts, the first or basic issue of the TD will always be Part 1, even though it will not be identified as such in the TD number. Subsequent issues shall be identified by Arabic numbers as Part 2, Part 3, etc. (e.g., F/A-18-AFC-234 Part 2). b. The Issue Date for each part will be the date that specific part was issued. c. Each part shall be a complete, stand-alone TD VALIDATION OF PROPOSED TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES a. Validation is an engineering process by which the originator of a change validates the change instructions by accomplishing all required tasks on applicable systems to ensure the modified items function as intended. b. Validation is usually conducted at an organic depot or contractor facility, but may be conducted at an operational site as directed by the NAVAIR Assistant Program Manager of Logistics (APML)/Logistics Manager (LM). Software changes usually are validated by designated Software Support Activities (SSAs) VERIFICATION OF PROPOSED TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES a. Verification is a TD installation/compliance process where a naval activity tests an unissued TD for accuracy and adequacy. b. Verification is the actual installation of change kits, incorporation of changes or performance of inspections by personnel of the prescribed skill, using a proposed TD, support equipment and special tools available at, and in an environment comparable to the average service facilities of the lowest authorized compliance maintenance level. c. Verification is the responsibility of the APML. d. TDs calling for compliance by naval activities shall be verified prior to issue. 6

149 NAVAIR e. TD verification shall be assigned a sufficiently high priority to enable completion of the required action within the prescribed time limit. f. If a verifying activity determines a TD to be unsatisfactory or deficient in any respect, that activity shall report difficulties, make recommendations or corrections, and request instructions from the APML/LM. g. Exceptions to verification requirements are identified in NAVAIR , Section III CONCURRENT VALIDATION/VERIFICATION OF TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES Concurrent validation/verification shall be accomplished in accordance with the instructions contained in NAVAIR , Section III CTPL TD MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE (See WP ) TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE REQUISITIONING PROCEDURES a. FORMAL TD AND BULLETIN CLASSIFICATIONS (1) TDs fall into two distinct classifications, Formal (Hard Copy) TDs and Bulletins. (2) The procedures for requisitioning vary, based on the classification of the TD involved. b. FORMAL (HARD COPY) DOCUMENTS (1) These TDs are printed by the Defense Automated Printing Service (DAPS) and stored at Defense Distribution Depot Susquehanna Pennsylvania, Mechanicsburg, PA. (2) They are stock numbered and listed in the NAVSUP P2003. (3) To order required TDs, the MILSTRIP/NLL system will be used (WP ). c. MESSAGES OR MESSAGE FORMAT LETTERS (IF ENCLOSURES ARE REQUIRED) (1) Interim Change Messages or Message Format Letters (a) Shall be distributed by the NAVAIR Address Indicator Group (AIG) and supplemental AIG number system. (b) Other affected addressees shall be included when a supplemental AIG number has not been established.

170 NAVAIR GENERAL a. The issue priority code system is established to ensure that requirements are processed in accordance with the importance of the mission of the requesting activity and the urgency of need. b. The provisions of this system are applicable to all requistioners authorized to request supply support from and within any military supply distribution system. c. This system establishes criteria for both the requisitioner and the distribution system. d. The Force/Activity Designator (FAD) and the Urgency of Need Designator (UND), although not directly applied to requisitions, are the governing factors needed to determine the Issue Priority Code which is applied directly to requisitions. e. A general background of the requirements for assigning these priority codes is provided below to afford a more thorough understanding of the issue priority code system. f. Refer to OPNAV Instruction for complete coverage FORCE/ACTIVITY DESIGNATOR (F/AD) a. A F/AD (Roman numerals I through V) is assigned by the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Department of Defense (DOD) staff, or individual DOD components to indicate the mission essentiality of the unit, organization, installation, project, or program to meet national objectives. b. The FAD, combined with the Urgency of Need Designator (UND) code (an alphabetic character), selected by the requiring activity, determines the priority designator. c. This designator expresses the basic military urgency for material movement and issue transactions. The Force/Activity (F/A) consists of the following: (1) A unit, organization, or installation performing a specific function or mission. (2) A body of troops, ships, aircraft, or a combination thereof. (3) A function, mission, project or program including those under military assistance (grant aid and/or sales). (4) The FAD is assigned in accordance with the mission essentially as follows: (a) Designator I. Primarily assigned only on combat conditions. This designator is assigned, however, during special peacetime missions, such as top national priority or declared emergencies. 24 hours. (b) Designator II. Primarily assigned for combat ready forces maintained to deploy within (c) Designator III. Primarily assigned to combat ready forces maintained to deploy within 30 days in support of those covered in Designator II. (d) Designator IV. Primarily assigned to combat ready forces maintained to deploy within 30 to 90 days. 2

171 NAVAIR (e) Designator V. Assigned to all other activities, including administrative/staff units not covered in Designators I through IV URGENCY OF NEED DESIGNATOR (UND) a. The UND is assigned in relationship to the function or mission performed by the activity. b. These designators (letters A through C) are assigned primarily as shown in figure 1 and as follows: (1) Designator A: Assigned for emergency and immediate requirements for non-available material without which the force/activity concerned is unable to perform mission or tasks. Assigned for material required to eliminate existing work stoppage. (2) Designator B: Assigned for immediate/urgent requirements for non-available material without which impairs the capability of the force/activity concerned or the operational capability of aircraft/equipment. Missions can be performed but with decreased operational effectiveness and efficiency. (3) Designator C: Assigned for material requirements for initial outfitting and filling allowances, scheduled maintenance, routine stock, repair or maintenance of supply support and stocks not immediately required PRIORITY DESIGNATOR a. Combining the assigned FAD and the appropriate UND will enable the requisitioner to determine the appropriate Priority Designator. b. It should be noted that an assigned FAD normally limits the requisitioner to choosing form three priority designators consistent with the UND. c.

174 NAVAIR GENERAL a. The TM system cannot operate effectively at the user level without a definitive management system. This control revolves around the technical publications library. b. The aeronautical technical publications library serves two important logistics functions. (1) First, it provides a positive source of up-to-date information for the use of technical personnel in the performance of their work. (2) Second, it is the major source of reference information to facilitate personnel training and individual improvement. c. To properly perform these functions, the technical publications library must maintain sufficient copies of applicable manuals. d. COMNAVAIRFORINST directs all Navy and Marine Corps Aviation activities to the contents of this manual for establishment of an aeronautical technical publications library. e. This Work Package (WP) provides operating activities with sufficient detail to establish a technical publications library system ESTABLISHING A TECHNICAL PUBLICATION LIBRARY a. Initial outfitting begins with an initial outfitting letter on official letterhead from an activity that is newly commissioned or reactivated and from existing activities transitioning to a new or different aircraft or missile model (figure 1). b. This request is submitted to NATEC distribution. NATEC personnel will prepare a file with the applicable TMs and TDs in a.dbf (database format) and send file to activity via or regular mail if no address was provided. (1) Activity CTPLs will be provided an Initial Outfitting List (IOL), on CD-ROM, of all the manuals for their weapon platforms, including the general series and common TMs. . (2) When a TM is added or changed on the website, the appropriate CTPLs will be notified via c. The file will be forwarded to the requesting activity. d. The activity will tailor the IOL for the quantities of each NAVAIR TM or TD required and submit the tailored IOL for requisitioning of the publications (figure 2). e. CTPL must enter a record into NATEC FOXPRO TPL or TMAPS ELMS program database for each copy of a NAVAIR manual requested. Those on FOXPRO TPL submit an ADRL file to NATEC Distribution. Not required for TMAPS ELMS users. f. Upon receipt of tailored IOL and ADRL files, NATEC forwards requisitions for appropriate supply action and updates the NATEC ADRL database. The activity will receive files indicating the following information: (1) Document numbers used for the Commissioning. (2) NAVAIR numbers that cannot be identified. 2

175 NAVAIR (3) NAVAIR numbers that are cancelled. (4) NAVAIR numbers that are number assignments only. (5) NAVAIR numbers that are restricted issue. g. CTPL will note discrepancies in the NATEC TPL program, and research for corrections. h. Once the received manuals have been recorded, filed and distributed, it is mandatory that a complete requirements analysis be conducted. (1) Indexes should be screened to identify possible new requirements and all activity publication users consulted to determine total requirements of manuals. (2) QARs must be involved in this process to ensure all required publications are obtained. i. Additional requirements can be satisfied immediately by submission of one-time MILSTRIP requisitions (WP ). j. If an activity desires up-to-date information on the status of its manual requisitions you have three options: (1) Go to the DAAS Dayton website (WEBREQ) at (NOTE: The DAAS website requires a user ID and password, which may be applied for online). (2) Go to the NAVICP website at htps://nll1.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/ (NOTE: The NAVSUP website requires a user ID and password, which may be applied for online). (3) Call NAVICP Customer Services at commercial (215) , DSN , or commercial k. An ADRL file must be submitted to NATEC Distribution whenever automatic distribution requirements is changed, and must be submitted at least once annually via TPL Program. ADRL for TMAPS ELMS users is submitted automatically via the ELMS Program each time quantities are adjusted. l. The CTPL shall maintain an accurate ADRL for all manuals used by their unit. m. The ADRL must include all manuals required regardless of media or whether acquired via NATEC website, Joint Knowledge Caching Server (JKCS), CD-ROM, or in paper format. n. Each activity s CTPL shall continuously review and submit current ADRL requirements in order for NAVAIR to accurately assess funding requirement for initial print and distribution of manuals TYPES OF LIBRARIES a. To be effective, the technical publication library must be a centrally managed function. Therefore, based on an activity s organization, there may be three types of libraries; (1) a CTPL, (2) a number of dispersed libraries in the work centers, (3) and there may also be a Naval Warfare Publications (NWP) library maintaining NATOPS and Tactical manuals in the Operations Department. 3

176 NAVAIR b. CENTRAL TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS LIBRARY (CTPL) (1) A CTPL shall be established to coordinate and manage TM functions. (2) This library shall be solely responsible for the analysis of an activity s requirements, procurement of documents, receipt and local distribution, security compliance, maintenance, and update of all TMs under their cognizance. (3) The CTPL shall act as the activity s single point of contact with NATEC concerning automatic distribution requirements of all NAVAIR manuals including NATOPS/tactical manuals. (4) Inventory control of the NATOPS/tactical manuals will require special management attention with the unit s NATOPS officer (WP ). (5) Because of the size and unique characteristics of the operating unit, it may be more feasible to establish an additional CTPL. (6) When this system is elected, each library operation will be considered a CTPL, responsible for establishing/directing additional controls on dispersed libraries in accordance with WP (7) For continuity, effective operation and adequate training, personnel assigned to a CTPL should be retained in the billet a minimum of 1 year. c. DISPERSED LIBRARY (1) When one CTPL is designated within the activity, all other libraries shall be subordinate to, and under the management control of the CTPL. (2) Work center (W/C) or Depot supervisors are responsible for informing the CTPL of additional manual requirements and replacement of damaged manuals. (3) Dispersed library functions shall be assigned and performed as outlined in WP (4) Dispersed libraries will be responsible for the storage, update, and user availability of the publications issued to them. (5) Personnel assigned as a dispersed librarian, should be retained in the billet a minimum of 6 months. d. NAVAL WARFARE PUBLICATIONS LIBRARY (1) The Naval Warfare Publications (NWP) Library provides for central administration of Naval Warfare Publication including aircraft tactical manuals (NWP 55 Series). (2) When the CTPL controls the NATOPS/Tactical manual distribution, inventory control of the NATOPS and or the tactical manuals will require special management attention with the unit s NATOPS officer (WP ). (3) The guidelines for the organization and administration of the NWP Library are contained in the NWP 1-01, Naval Warfare Publication System. 4

Automatic Distribution Requirements are those manuals and TDs an activity requires NATEC to distribute automatically when revisions or changes are released or when new manuals or TDs are created and distributed affecting equipment the activity is supporting. b. Detailed instructions for submitting automatic distribution requirements of NAVAIR manuals media is contained in the NATEC Technical Publications Library (TPL) Program (WP ). c. ADRL for TMAPS ELMS users is submitted automatically via the ELMS Program each time quantities are adjusted. d. TMAPS ELMS users will utilize the "Audit Library" feature in the program. e. Upon NATEC receipt of the ADRL from an activity, it will normally take only a few days for the new requirements to take effect. (1) However, receipts by the activity may not be visible for at least ninety (90) days, based on the requirements submitted and updating of the manuals. (2) Library personnel must ensure that issued/held manuals are up-to-date by reviewing the TPL program Audit Report performed against the latest returned ADRL (WP ). f. NATEC will acknowledge receipt of new distribution requirements by or letter depending on the method by which it was received. If no response is received by the activity within 30 days after submission, send follow-up by letter, message, to nani_distribution@navy.mil, or FAX to (619) (DSN ) to NATEC requesting status of ADRL file receipt. g. NATEC personnel will upload the activity s ADRL file into a master distribution file. h. Once an activity s ADRL has been entered, all future manual updates will be automatically distributed by NATEC through a mailing label system. i. When a manual is issued or revised, mailing labels are released to a printer, which distributes to those activities identified on the mailing labels. j. When an activity s location changes their mailing address, NATEC Distribution must be notified 30 days prior to their movement. Activities using FOXPRO TPL Program will submit an updated ADRL, and those using ELMS will update their mailing address in "Customer Account". k. Contractors who elect to go on automatic distribution for manuals should be aware that they will be charged, and verification of contract will be required in writing from the defense command that entered into or manages the contract. 7

The ADRL is the activity s automatic distribution requirements on the NATEC master distribution b. A copy of the activity s ADRL is available on the NATEC website for review if the activity is receiving questionable documentation, i.e., receipt of wrong quantities of manuals from the automatic distribution system. c. Letters, or telephone calls requesting a copy of the activity s ADRL are accepted by NATEC (see figure 3). d. Upon receipt of a returned ADRL from NATEC or downloading the file from the NATEC website, an activity should compare the listing with the TPL program ADRL file. (1) This process will identify any discrepancies between the desired quantities as entered in the TPL program and what NATEC carries in the master distribution file. (2) If changes are needed or errors are found, activities must submit corrections utilizing the ADRL function of the TPL program (WP ) or by making the appropriate changes on their customer account on the NATEC website. e. Activities whose libraries contain more than 10 manuals are required to submit ADRLs annually to NATEC. (1) ADRLs must also be submitted when requirements change. (2) Activities with 10 or less NAVAIR manuals should submit a formal letter to NATEC to update their automatic distribution requirements along with a point of contact. (a) An alternative to submitting an ADRL annually is to update your automatic distribution requirements directly on the NATEC website. (b) Updating your requirements on the NATEC website satisfies the annual requirement to submit an ADRL file. f. Activities must place their actual requirements on their ADRLs to ensure receipt of required quantities. (1) This includes requirements for electronic as well as paper manuals. (2) When the requirement for a publication is for electronic format only then the pub type in the TPL program must be <E> vice <N>. This will eliminate the distribution of excess paper manuals. 8

181 NAVAIR AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION MAILING LABEL a. See figure 4 for an example of a mailing label. b. An understanding of the mailing label format is essential for library personnel. With this knowledge, obvious errors can be detected and corrective action taken. c. The mailing label format is as follows: (1) NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL NUMBER. Allows quick comparison of mailing label to contents of envelope. (2) NATEC ASSIGNED ACCOUNT NUMBER. Consists of the activity s Standard Navy Distribution List (SNDL) number and a sequential number assigned by NATEC to identify individual activities. (3) QUANTITY REQUESTED. Identifies quantity enclosed, and should correspond to activity ADRL requirements. (4) TECHNICAL MANUAL STOCK NUMBER. The stock number of the manual enclosed PUSHED PUBLICATIONS a. As new equipment/weapons systems are developed and procured by NAVAIR, the manuals are sometimes PUSHED to the user by NATEC based on the type equipment codes (TEC) submitted on your ADRL file as cited in WP b. The user must be able to readily identify these PUSH manuals and determine if: (1) The manuals are, in fact, required and (2) The quantities are sufficient. c. If these PUSH manuals are determined to be required and the quantities require modification, then the user must submit an update to the ADRL. Note that PUSH manuals are not automatically added to an activity s ADRL. d. Prior to discarding the label from received manuals, the user should review the label with the TPL database. e. If the publication is not in the TPL file, the publication could be one that was PUSHED to you based on the equipment codes you selected on your ADRL submission AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION ERRORS a. When errors in the automatic distribution system are encountered, the following action should be taken: (1) The cognizant NATEC TPS should be contacted for assistance. Most often, the problem can be resolved with the assistance of the TPS (WP ). (2) If the problem cannot be resolved, a letter or should be sent or telephone call made to NATEC. 9

192 NAVAIR LIBRARY RESPONSIBILITY a. Activity Commanding Officer is responsible for the development, establishment, and operation of technical library services in support of local operations and maintenance. b. Activity Commanding Officer shall designate an appropriate officer or Depot Department Head to implement and carry out policies and procedures to effectively maintain an aeronautical technical library. c. Management of the technical library is a function assigned to the Quality Assurance (QA) Division of Navy and Marine Corps Aviation Units and to an appropriate Department at the Depots. d. The technical library s responsibilities include functions and tasks as follows: (1) Maintain a CTPL, which is adequate to complete the assigned functions of the activity. Retention of master copies of publications within the Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL) is optional. (2) Requisition, receive, screen, review, route, distribute, as necessary, and file all incoming technical publications. (3) Establish dispersed libraries and necessary control functions. (4) Establish and maintain a training program for assigned library personnel, including dispersed librarians. (5) Develop an automatic verification program using the guidance provided in WP (6) Establish and maintain a program to distribute data to dispersed libraries.

220 NAVAIR LIBRARY OPERATION a. Dispersed libraries fall under the management control of the CTPL or under the department they service at the Depots. b. DTPLs shall be recommended jointly by the appropriate Work Center Supervisor/Division Officer and designated in writing by the Quality Assurance (QA) Officer. c. The CTPL custodian or responsible Depot Department shall be responsible for providing training and assistance to both the work center/depot supervisors and the dispersed librarians. d. Such training will be provided at least quarterly. e. Work center/depot Data Center Supervisors shall: (1) Ensure dispersed libraries maintain only the required number of copies of applicable manuals on hand. (2) Avoid excessive stock piling and ordering of manuals. (3) Ensure all manual requests (that are part of dispersed library) are submitted to the CTPL for procurement. (4) Provide the necessary guidance, supervision and support necessary to manage the dispersed library. (5) Establish procedures within each work center to identify the location of all manuals held using the Locator Listing option of the TPL program. (6) Ensure the DTPL is assigned in writing using figure 1 and has completed training requirements prior to assignment (figure 2). f. The CTPL uses the NATEC TPL program to locate manuals under its control. Dispersed libraries require only a visible, readily accessible list for publications and their location. This listing is provided in the TPL program. g. Ensure that when manuals are no longer required, they are returned to the CTPL with justification for the return. The CTPL will dispose of the manual(s), annotate the TPL Program, maintain a record of these manuals and submit a new ADRL disk STORAGE PROCEDURES FOR PUBLICATIONS a. In the dispersed libraries, because of the multiplicity of copies of the same manual media, the composition of the binders will be left to the discretion of the work center supervisor. b. It may be necessary to have several binders, one at each workstation, with the same set of manuals, enabling more than one worker access to the manuals. c. Sets of MRC decks, two or more copies of the troubleshooting manual or other media are usually the reason for not having the manuals in the same storage criteria as used in the CTPL. 2

221 NAVAIR d. While the CTPL uses the TPL Program to locate TMs under its control, dispersed libraries require only a visible, readily accessible list for manuals and their location. (1) This listing is provided as the Locator Listing. (2) Primary emphasis must be on ready accessibility of the manual to the user. e. CD-ROMs shall be arranged alphanumerically in CD-ROM number sequence and stored in an appropriate storage cabinet or container with the CD-ROM end label readily visible BINDERS a. Similar to those used by the CTPL will also be used by the dispersed libraries. b. The numbering system for NAVAIR TMs and directives contained in binders used by the dispersed libraries will be identical to the CTPL. c. Within the binders, the manuals shall be arranged alphanumerically by NAVAIR publication number (WP ) CLASSIFIED PUBLICATIONS STORAGE Classified publications storage will be in accordance with SECNAVINST M and local procedures established by the command and the CTPL. 3

230 NAVAIR NATEC TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS LIBRARY PROGRAM a. The NATEC Technical Publications Library (TPL) FOXPRO Program and the TMAPS Enhanced Library Management Systems (ELMS) are the only two automated systems authorized for use in managing CTPL technical data. (1) The TPL Program is designed for usage on the Windows Operating System (OS) on an IBM compatible Personal Computer (PC). (2) Recommended minimum hardware requirements include 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM, a 20 GB hard drive, a 3-1/2 high-density floppy drive, a 24X CD-ROM drive, and a color monitor. (3) Recommended OS is Windows NT 4.0 or newer, but program will run on all windows operating systems from Windows 98 and newer. b. Use of the TPL program or TMAPS ELMS is required for all activities requiring automatic distribution of more than 10 NAVAIR Technical Manuals. (1) Those activities requiring 10 or less manuals on automatic distribution should write a letter to NATEC listing their technical manual requirements, including quantities. These requirements must be submitted annually. (2) For those activities requiring more than 10 manuals the Automatic Distribution Requirements List (ADRL) shall be prepared using the ADRL option of the TPL program and submitted via to nani_adrl@navy.mil. (3) If is not available the file may be mailed to NATEC at the address shown on the ADRL cover letter printed when the disk is prepared. c. Submission of an ADRL is REQUIRED at least annually to ensure your activity continues to receive required manuals. Your 12 month cutoff date is calculated from the date of your last ADRL submission or the last change you made to your ADRL directly on the NATEC website. (1) For audit purposes a printed copy of your ADRL submission must be retained in your transaction file. (2) ADRL listings received back from NATEC must also be retained in your transaction file. d. ADRL for TMAPS ELMS users are submitted automatically via the TMAPS ELMS Program TPL PROGRAM FEATURES a. The TPL program is completely menu driven and self-contained as delivered. If it is to be installed for the first time no other software is required to run this program. If earlier versions of the TPL program were previously used, current versions will recognize that and update the database to the latest configuration when installed over the existing version. b. Context sensitive help is available throughout its operation. To access HELP, move the cursor to the item in question and press <F1>. (1) In addition, no duplicate entries are allowed. 2

231 NAVAIR (2) A backup option to provide a backup of your data is available and a backup is required at least weekly but should be performed each time you exit the program when a change has been made to the data. It is recommended that a backup be performed for each workday of the week so that you would have more than 1 backup in the event of a hardware failure. c. The TPL program keeps track of all manuals in the central and dispersed libraries including changes. (1) It also keeps track of all manuals that have been deleted from the active library for a 1(one) year period from the deletion date. (2) Maintenance of a dead file is required in the event of a possible aircraft accident investigation. The dead file is automatically purged of manuals that have been there for more than 1(one) year every time a dead file listing is printed. A dead file listing should be done at least quarterly. d. A complete listing of features is contained in the TPL program documentation available from the MAIN menu TPL PROGRAM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS a. To download and install the latest version of the NATEC TPL program go to the NATEC website at and read and save the READxxx.TXT file (xxx is a number representing the version number. This file explains how to download and install the program. b. The complete program documentation may be read or printed from the main menu. c. A complete set of library operating procedures may be read or printed from the main menu TPL PROGRAM BACKUP PROCEDURES a. You should run the backup option of the program upon exiting the program if you make changes to the database. b. Each activity SHOULD maintain five (5) backup disks, one for each working day of the week. c. You should format these disks at least quarterly to ensure the disks are not bad. A backup MUST be run at least weekly TPL PROGRAM REPORTS a. The Automatic Distribution Requirements List (ADRL) Report from the TPL program is used to output, either, a file to be attached and submitted by to NATEC, or a floppy disk of the activity s NAVAIR technical manual requirements along with a cover letter in the event you must mail in the disk. (1) The ADRL Report is used by NATEC to update the automatic distribution requirements file to identify those publications for which future manual revisions and technical directives will be distributed to your activity. When submitting your ADRL by , identify your Account number and send it to mailto:nani_adrl@navy.mil (WP ). (2) The ADRL requires the following information: (a) Aircraft/equipment supported. If manually entering a code that is not on the pull down list, be specific and use the five (5) digit Type Equipment Codes. 3

232 NAVAIR These codes are required to identify requirements for technical directives and new manuals that may be required (WP ). 2 When asked to enter aircraft/equipment, press <F1> to access a pick-list. 3 Move to the appropriate item and press <ENTER> or <ESC> to automatically enter the proper code. 4 Follow this procedure until you have entered all supported aircraft/equipment. (b) Maintenance level. Organizational, Intermediate, Depot, etc. This provides preselected minimum quantities of technical manuals and technical directives and is used in conjunction with aircraft/equipment supported. (c) Distribution Account Code (DAC) 1 This is a 10-character code. 2 The first five (5) are the activity s Standard Navy Distribution List (SNDL) code and the last five (5) are NATEC assigned sequence numbers. zip codes here. 3 The parts of the DAC are not separated by a dash. Do not use UIC numbers or 4 This code is available on mailing labels currently being sent to the CTPL. (Enclose a label if in doubt.) (WP ). (3) Technical directives will be automatically distributed for the aircraft or equipment applications identified on the ADRL disk. No further action is required (WP ). (4) New publications associated with the maintenance level and aircraft or equipment applications identified on the ADRL disk will be distributed only once, unless identified on the floppy disk by publication number. (a) If future revisions to the new publication are required by the activity, add it to the TPL program database for subsequent submittal to NATEC. (b) If additional copies of the publication are required now, submit a MILSTRIP requisition to NAVICP Philadelphia (WP ). b. The report named COMPLETE LIBRARY is useful for annotating changes, such as issuance of Change Entry Certification Records (CECRs) and the return of them from the work centers, return of technical manuals no longer required, and correction of erroneous entries. (1) When the annotated report has sufficient entries, update the TPL program database and obtain a new report, or highlight the changes you have entered and continue using the current listing. (2) When used in this way the COMPLETE LIBRARY listing should always contain the most current data on each manual in the library. c. A description of reports named COMPLETE LIBRARY, PARTIAL LIBRARY, LOCATOR, WORK CENTER, DIVISION, OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTS, DEAD FILE, CHECKED OUT MANUALS, CLASSIFIED MANUALS, MISCELLANEOUS FIELD, and QUANTITIES BY WORK CENTER is included in the complete program documentation accessible from the MAIN menu. It may be displayed on the screen or printed for further study. 4

233 NAVAIR VALIDATION TPL PROGRAM DATABASE a. When an ADRL is received at NATEC it undergoes a validation and is made available to the originating activity. (1) The distribution file update process at NATEC provides for a computer validation of TM on the floppy disk. (2) The numbers must represent active (i.e., not cancelled) NAVAIR TMs with distribution controlled by NATEC. b. Validated TM numbers will be added to the distribution file immediately. c. TM numbers that cannot be computer validated will be identified to the originating activity for resolution. After resolution, the activity should update their TPL program database with corrected numbers, delete extraneous entries, add additional requirements, and resubmit the ADRL to NATEC. d. Typical reasons that TM numbers cannot be computer validated are as follows: (1) Too few or too many characters in publication number. (2) Wrong character in publication number (i.e., letter O vice zero). (3) Distribution of manual not controlled by NATEC (i.e., NAVAIR Series). (4) Cancelled publication. No further distribution will be made. (5) Special distribution list approval required for issue controlled manual. (6) Possible omission or error in NATEC standard list. e. Cancelled TMs and TMs under distribution control of other activities, as well as local data, may be retained in TPL program for control purposes. (1) Cancelled manuals retained must be clearly marked "CANCELLED" on the title page and a pub title other than "N" or "E" must be assigned. In accordance with figure 1, the ELMS Program suggests pub type "X". (2) For TMs under distribution control of other activities, the PUB TYPE code must be any letter than "N" or "E" in the TPL Program database to prevent transfer to the ADRL REPORT floppy disk. (See figure 1 for publication types authorized for use in both FoxPro and ELMS) REQUIRED TPL OPERATIONS Required TPL program operations include: (1) Run ADRL option and submit ADRL file or edit on-line in Account Update Screen of TMAPS process on NATEC website whenever requirements change, but at least annually. (2) Run DEAD FILE report at least quarterly. (3) Run ERROR listing report at least monthly. (4) Use to generate CECRs. 5

240 NAVAIR CREATION, STORAGE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF DIGITAL NAVAIR TECHNICAL DATA a. NATEC is responsible for defining and enforcing all policies relative to the creation, storage, and distribution of digital technical data for NAVAIR. The driving force behind NAVAIR technical data policy is to ensure standardization, ease of use by the fleet maintainers, and the economical, fast and efficient delivery of technical data to the fleet. b. To ensure configuration management and control of technical data, NATEC is the designated central repository for all NAVAIR technical manuals, whether they are in paper or digital format. (1) NATEC will distribute all TMs in paper, CD-ROM, or any other digital format. This includes all classes of IETMs. NATEC. (2) Any deviation from this policy will require a written waiver from the Commanding Officer of c. The NATEC website and/or Joint Knowledge Caching Server (JKCS) are the ONLY official repositories for storage and distribution of NAVAIR technical manuals. (1) The use of share drives or sub-folders is limited to activities not having JTDI. (2) Where in use these drives/sub-folders must be updated weekly to ensure the latest publications are maintained. (3) NAVAIR TMs for maintenance purposes shall not be distributed without a written waiver from the Commanding Officer of NATEC. d. As stated above, it is the policy of NAVAIR and NATEC to standardize digital technical data formats and viewing environments to ensure ease of use and reduce training required for the fleet maintainers. (1) All new digital technical manual projects will be coordinated through NATEC, prior to final design and development, to ensure adherence to standards and minimize potential negative impact on fleet operations. (2) It is NATEC s policy that all IETMs shall be viewable using a standard web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer with an appropriate browser plug-in, as required. (3) All digital manuals below class 3 IETMs shall be viewable using a standard web browser. The current standard for low-level digital technical manuals on the NATEC website is Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). It is understood that technology will evolve and standards may change. (4) However, it is NATEC s policy to follow standard industry web-based practices, which will ensure standardization in the future and reduce the Navy s reliance on costly, proprietary technical data solutions. Any deviation from these policies shall require a written waiver from the Commanding Officer of NATEC. e. The NAVAIR standard for authoring new technical manuals is the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). SGML provides data tags and other functionality that increases the value of technical data for re-use and database applications. (1) In authoring technical manuals in SGML, it is critical that standard Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and style sheets be employed to ensure the ability to share and re-use technical data across the NAVAIR team. (2) The NAVAIR 3001 DTD is an evolving standard and will be used in the development of new SGML based technical manuals. 2

241 NAVAIR (3) Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an evolving standard in the Internet environment and may be used in the future for authoring new technical manuals. (4) HTML is not authorized for authoring technical manuals because of its lack of content and limited re-use capability NATEC TECHNICAL MANUAL WEBSITE OVERVIEW a. The NATEC Technical Manual Website provides distribution of NAVAIR Electronic Technical Manuals via the World Wide Web/Internet. (1) The Website; (a) will be the single distribution point for NAVAIR TMs authorized for use. (b) is operated and maintained by NATEC at NAS North Island in San Diego, California. (2) The website s Universal Resource Locator (URL) address is b. Access to the NATEC website is user-id and password controlled. (1) In order to receive an account, a user must complete the user account request on the NATEC website. (a) All mandatory information must be filled in and military and federal government employees must have a current address ending in.mil. (b) Government contractors must complete additional access request forms to ensure continued security of sensitive NAVAIR technical data. (2) Feedback and comments for the website can be provided to NATEC by selecting webmaster feedback on the website. c. Access to the website requires a reasonably fast connection to the Internet, a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer, and the Adobe Portable Data Format (PDF) reader/viewer. cost. (1) The Adobe PDF viewer can be downloaded from the Adobe website on the Internet at no (2) NATEC has chosen PDF (image & hidden text) as the best option for displaying legacy technical manuals on our website. Conversion to PDF is relatively inexpensive compared to other options. PDF is a commercial standard format for displaying information on the web. (3) PDF is also the chosen format for the other services for their lower class electronic technical manuals. In addition, PDF provides book marking and text search capabilities. (4) Other formats such as SGML, HTML, XML, and higher level IETMs will be supported as required for individual NAVAIR programs. d. The website is designed to make access to the technical manual, work package, chapter, illustration, or figure as fast and easy as possible. The website can be searched by Type Equipment Code (TEC), platform, technical manual number, or title, and supports text searches within the manuals. e. Although NAVAIR technical manuals will be available on the NATEC website, the activity central technical publications librarian (CTPL) will continue to be responsible for local technical library management and control. 3

242 NAVAIR (1) Local policies and procedures relative to technical library management remain the responsibility of the activity. (2) These policies shall be sent to the TYPE WING for applicability in other activities. (3) Downloading of electronic manuals from the NATEC website shall be monitored and controlled by the CTPL. (4) Reproduction of partial or complete manuals will be handled in accordance with this WP paragraph 16 of this manual. f. Until the fleet has Internet access at all maintenance facilities, afloat and ashore, NATEC will continue to support paper and CD-ROM versions of technical manuals, where required. (1) For short notice detachments prior to usage, respective Type Wing or Marine Air Wing shall authorized and review all local reproduction of CD-ROM(s) prior to usage. (2) Manuals issued via CD-ROM are authorized for use only when issued with the approved NAVAIR CD-ROM label affixed. (3) CD-ROMs currently in use are authorized for continued use until their next update. (4) The current supply (MILSTRIP) requisition procedures will continue to be supported and paper technical manuals will be printed and distributed in situations where the maintainer cannot use the web or CD-ROM. g. It should be noted with regards to the usage of electronic versions of NAVAIR TMs, COMNAVAIRSYSCOM message dated 28 June 2002 states "This message is not authorization nor does it direct anyone to eliminate paper manuals unless activities have all required infrastructure, including local storage and access, availability and sustainment of portable electronic display devices (PEDDS), and the demonstrated ability to use electronic media to perform the full range of maintenance actions as directed by the appropriate TYCOM." h. CD on-line ordering is available via NATEC website. (1) All CDs should only be used as backups to other electronic media (Web or JTDI) or paper. (2) TMs on the CDs are only as current as the date printed on the face label. CTPL will not receive updates for TM(s) on COD. (3) When notification is received that a publication within a CD on Demand (COD) has been updated, a new COD must be requested. (4) A request will not be made earlier than ten working days after notification. (5) Because COD can be managed many ways, the Type Wings shall provide specific written guidance as to management procedures JOINT KNOWLEDGE CACHING SERVER (JKCS) a. JKCS Server is a local caching server under the Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) program for technical publications and other technical data. TMs on the server are obtained through your ADRL. If you require a new TM on this server update the ADRL first. (1) JKCS Server has been installed onboard several ship, shore and oversea installations. 4

(a) Select the JKCS/TM Server Site IP Address List link. (b) This will display a table of all current JKCS/TM Server sites. b. JKCS Servers at shore sites are updated automatically each night via NATEC website. (1) Ship's will be updated manually via monthly CDs from NATEC. (a) Upon receipt of CD updates, the CTPL shall deliver to ADP for immediate updating the JTDI Server. (b) It is imperative that these CD's are loaded onto the JKCS immediately. (2) The latest set of CD updates received is authorized for continued use until next set is received. (a) The TMs listed are considered up-to-date until superseded by the next CD update. (b) Although these TMs are considered up-to-date, the IRAC/ERAC binder must be reviewed prior to viewing JKCS. c. Manuals residing within the JTDI delivery management system including JKCS local server. JTDI top-tier server farm including hosted platform specific web pages are authorized for maintenance use with the same restriction as manuals downloaded from the NATEC website. Reproduction of partial or complete manuals will be handled in accordance with WP paragraph 16 of this manual. d. It is the maintenance facility s responsibility to control manuals printed from the Web/JKCS to ensure obsolete versions of technical manuals are not being used for aviation maintenance. e. The minimum requirements for a TM printed from the web or the JKCS would be; the Title Page, all referenced material, all of the Numerical Index of Effective Work Packages/Pages, and the desired work packages or pages. (1) A QA Subject Matter Expert (SME) shall review all printed material for completeness and ensure proper control. manual. (2) The Remarks field of the TPL Program is to be annotated to reflect the composition of the (3) It would be assigned a copy number, and changes to the manual would be controlled by the issuance of CECRs (WP ). f. The following procedures shall be used for deploying activities when incorporating IRACs affecting manuals on JKCS: (1) Maintain an IRAC binder for each work center utilizing JKCS. The IRAC binder will contain all unincorporated IRACs for publications maintained on JKCS. It shall be reviewed and purged monthly after JKCS is updated. (2) An IRAC binder shall also be made available for each PEDD maintained. 5

244 NAVAIR (3) The IRAC binder will contain all unincorporated IRACs for TMs maintained on JKCS and shall be reviewed prior to searching for TM. (4) This binder shall be purged monthly after JKCS is updated. (5) Purged IRACs shall be kept on file with the ADRL CD and viewed prior to looking at TM on the ADRL CD. (6) Non-deploying activities may maintain an IRAC binder for reference purposes only. g. An ADRL CD set ordered from NATEC shall be used as a back up for JKCS. Deploying activities must order the ADRL CD set 30 days prior to deployment. h. For help in resolving JTDI/JKCS problems, contact one of the following for assistance: Phone: JTDI@ingr.com Website: i. JTDI/JKCS CTPL's and User's Guides are available on the internet The CTPL shall train the dispersed librarian(s) in the use of JKCS to include the responsibility to control printed material. j.
