contains the instructions necessary for a complete
overhaul of the engine (overhaul as performed by
naval aviation depots). It is used by organizational and
intermediate maintenance activities.
Under the NAVAIR publication numbering
system, the IPB manual is identified by a -4 or a -504
in part III of the publication number. The IPB is
divided into three sections-an introduction, a
group assembly parts list, and a numerical index.
The IPB illustrates, lists, and describes all parts and
special SE necessary to maintain the particular
engine model.
Under the TMINS numbering system, there are
three basic types of engine manualsone each for
intermediate maintenance, depot maintenance, and
an IPB. Several other special manuals are available
for some engine models, but they usually apply to
intermediate or depot maintenance.
AERONAUTICAL COMPONENT AND
EQUIPMENT MANUALS
Aeronautical component and equipment manuals
cover all types of aircraft accessory and related
equipment. Some of the most common types are listed
below:
2-27
Accessory (03 series)
Instrument (05 series)
Armament/Ordnance (11 series)
Electronics/Avionics (16 series)
Machinery, Tools and Test Equipment (17
series)
Ground Servicing and Mobile Equipment (19
series)
General component and equipment manuals can
be prepared as individual intermediate or depot
volumes, or as a combination. Occasionally, these
manuals include general or specialized organizational
data not included in the weapons systems series.
However, organizational data appears in the prime
weapons system manual whenever feasible. Design
complexity, data volume, and the maintenance plan or
engineering analysis determine the selection of
content coverage and volume assembly.
If the equipment is of a highly complex design
with variations in maintenance capability and support
materials at different levels, the manuals are normally
coded for separate intermediate- and depot-level
coverage. However, when logistic support
requirements, workload procedures, and basic support
equipment are similar at the intermediate- and
depot-level, the manuals are coded for a combined
intermediate- and depot-level publication.
SPECIAL APPLICATION TECHNICAL
MANUAL SERIES
Technical manuals within this category contain
operation and maintenance and/or procedures that
apply to a variety of equipments associated with
aircraft maintenance. Short descriptions of these types
of manuals are contained in the following paragraphs.
Aircraft Hardware and Rubber
Material (04 Series)
The 04 series manuals provide descriptive
maintenance information on maintenance
consumables, such as aircraft wheels and tires.
Electronics, Airfield Lighting and
Related Accessories (08 Series)
These manuals provide information and
instructions covering the installation, adjustment,
operation, maintenance, and IPB of airfield lighting
facilities for night operation at temporary or advanced
air bases. The 08 series is being combined with the 16
series for electronics equipment. The 08 entry in the
NAVSUP 2002 will refer you to the 16 entry.
Aviation Life Support Systems (ALSS)

instructions for operation and maintenance of all
personal survival equipment. These manuals include
instructions for ejection seats, parachutes, survival
equipment, portable oxygen equipment, and anti-G
and exposure suits. Manuals are provided for each item
covering description, special tools, preparation for
use, storage or shipment, operation instructions,
inspection, maintenance, lubrication, troubleshooting,
and an IPB. Each manual contains only those portions
applicable to that item of equipment.
