aircraft, uninstalled aircraft engines, and dangerous materials. They also contain instructions for long-term, extended shipment, short-term (fly away), and water damage or fire-fighting chemical damage types of preservation. Included in these manuals are required material and equipment and individual detailed preservation procedures for each component. Electronics (16 Series) Manuals in the 16 series are identified by a numbering system like the one used with aircraft manuals. It consists of a three-part designation that follows a prefix. The subdivisions of some of the 16 series manuals are discussed in the following paragraphs. General. The general (NAVAIR 16-l series) manuals publications of many types. The contents do not fit any other subseries. They include manuals that pertain to general maintenance practices, training manuals. design guidance data, etc. A complete list is available in the current index of each publication. Radio and Radar. Manuals in the 16-5Q and 16-5S subseries pertain to older equipment. As such, they do not conform to present standardization formats. They include miscellaneous operation and maintenance data for radio and radar equipment. Joint Nomenclature Electronic Test Equipment. Manuals found in this subseries normally appear in the standard format. One example of a manual in this subseries is the Handbook Service Instructions for the Radio Sets AN/ARC-94, AN/ARC-102, AN/ARC-119, and AN/ARC-120, NAVAIR 16-30ARC-94-1. Support Equipment Manuals (17 and 19 Series) Although Aviation Support Equipment Technicians (ASs) perform maintenance on support equipment, personnel in the other aviation maintenance ratings must operate the equipment. Therefore, operating instructions should be available. The 17 series (machinery, tools, and test equipment) and 19 series (ground servicing and mobile equipment) of aeronautic technical publications cover most types of support equipment (SE). The manufacturer of each item of SE must furnish instructions for operating and maintaining the equipment throughout its service life. Like aircraft MIMs, these publications are prepared by the manufacturer and issued under the authority of NAVAIRSY SCOM. SE manuals are stocked and listed the same as technical manuals. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PUBLICATIONS Navy technical manuals, because of multiple application, are used jointly between other elements of the Navy, such as the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWARSYSCOM), and other services (U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force). These manuals normally carry the identification number of each using service. They are under the management control of the primary executive service, which can be easily identified because their publication code number will be the first listed on the cover. However, to simplify their identification and index listing, they are indexed in the NAVSUP 2002 by their NAVAIR or TMINS number. AUTOMATION-TYPE TECHNICAL MANUALS Automation-type technical manuals do not follow normal documentation practices and standards. They appear on paper or mylar punch tape, magnetic tape, molded templates, or film. Often, they are used with programmed automatic or semiautomatic test equipment. They are used to monitor the operation of the equipment. Policy for the management of these manuals is contained in NAVAIRINST 13630.1. PLANNED MAINTENANCE SYSTEM PUBLICATIONS Planned Maintenance System (PMS) publications consist of maintenance requirements cards (MRCs), periodic maintenance information cards (PMICs), checklists, and sequence control charts and cards (SCCs). These publications provide a basis for planning, scheduling, and complying with scheduled maintenance requirements. The requirements are scheduled with intervals, such as calendar time, flight or operating hours, or number of cycles or events based on the predominant failure mode. In instances where conflict exists among PMS publications and other directives, the PMS publication takes precedence. PMS publications are discussed in the following paragraphs. Q27.
