CHAPTER 2 PUBLICATIONS In chapter 1, you were given an overview of the maintenance system, maintenance administration, Visual Information Display System/Maintenance Action Form (VIDS/MAF), and Naval Aviation Logistics Command Information System (NALCOMIS). In this chapter, you will learn about some of the publications that you will use to perform your duties. Good technical manuals are necessary to maintain modern weapons systems. The Navy’s combat readiness depends upon the quality of these publications and the knowledge and skill of maintenance personnel using them. Technical publications provide information and direction in your own technical language. They are prepared by the manufacturer of the specific aircraft model, engine, or equipment and by NAVAIRSYS- COM or its field activities, according to specifications issued by NAVAIRSYSCOM. The information contained in these manuals include the current, authoritative directions for material upkeep, check, test, repair, and operation. This provides for optimum product performance. All personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of aircraft, engines, and associated equipment and systems must know how to use these publications. For more information concerning the technical manual program, refer to Naval Air Systems Command Technical Manual Program, NAVAIR 00-25-100, and OPNAV Application Guide and Index for Navy Standard Technical Manual Identification Numbering System, OPNAV N0000-00-IDX-000/TMINS. NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUAL PROGRAM LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Define the purpose of technical publications. Identify the manual that outlines the management of the NAVAIR Technical Manual Program. Recognize the types, styles, and formats of NAVAIR technical publications. Recognize the systems used to identify technical manuals. Describe the means of updating technical manuals. The primary purpose of technical publications is to help you perform your assigned maintenance tasks. If you are to maintain complex weapons systems, you must be able to get the required information from technical manuals. The Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of the Navy (DON), and the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) work together to maintain and improve the quality of aeronautic technical publications. The NAVAIR 00-25-100 manual describes the NAVAIR Technical Manual Program and provides guidance on maintaining technical manuals. It covers such topics as audit/inventory, deficiency reporting, storage, establishing libraries, ordering, changes, and responsibilities for use within a command. It also covers the use of Army/Air Force publications in the NAVAIR system. All personnel in the aviation maintenance ratings use this manual to maintain and manage technical manuals. Q1. As a technician, if you are to maintain complex weapons systems, where must you obtain the required information? Q2. What manual provides guidance on maintaining technical manuals? TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS Technical publications prepared for the NAVAIR technical publication system are presented in specific types, styles, and formats. You should be familiar with the basic types, styles, and formats, and their intended use. Types of Technical Manuals Technical manuals are divided into two major types, operational and maintenance. These manuals are the basic source of information for definition of operating instructions, tactical application, and the maintenance and upkeep of hardware. They are also the main support or reference for the training program. Operational Manuals. Operational manuals contain descriptions of weapons systems with instructions for their effective use. These manuals, such as the Naval Air Training and Operating 2-1
