applicable to aircraft carrier flight and hangar deck operations. It is a valuable reference for planning a predeployment training program to qualify maintenance personnel for carrier operations. NAVAIROSH REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SHORE ESTABLISHMENT, NAVAIR A1-NAOSH-SAF-000/P5100-1 The purpose of this manual is to provide, in one document, guidance on acceptable work place safety and health standards ashore that are to be implemented within the Naval Air Systems Command. You should study all safety instructions and make them a permanent part of your training syllabus. Q36. Q37. Q38. Q39. What is the purpose of the Naval Aviation Safety Program, OPNAVINST 3750.6? What safety-related publication provides guidance on the administration of the NAVOSH program Navywide? What information is contained in OPNAVINST 5100.19? What is the purpose of the manual NAVAIROSH Requirements for the Shore Establishment, NAVAIRA1-NAOSH-SAF-00/P5100-I? TECHNICAL DIRECTIVE SYSTEM LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the Technical Directive System and how technical directives are updated, numbered, and categorized. The Technical Directive (TD) System controls and issues all technical directives. This system standardizes the method of issuance for such directives. It is the only authorized means for directing the accomplishment and recording of modifications and onetime inspections of NAVAIR accepted equipment. The TD system is an important element designed to maintain equipment in a configuration that provides the optimum conditions of safety, operational, and material readiness. This system encompasses two styles of technical directives differentiated by their method of issue. The two styles are formal TDs (letter) and interim TDs (message). In general terms, they are both handled as letter technical directives. These directives contain instructions or information of a technical nature that cannot be satisfactorily distributed as revisions or changes to technical manuals. This information (instructions) is distributed and classified into four TD types: changes, interim changes, bulletins, or rapid action minor engineering changes (RAMECs). A change is a document containing instructions and information that directs the accomplishment and recording of a material change, a repositioning, a modification, or an alteration in the characteristics of the equipment to which it applies. A change directs that parts be added, removed, or changed from the existing configuration, or that parts or material be altered, relocated, or repositioned. Normally, a change is issued as a formal (hard copy) document identified as a Power Plants Change (PPC), Airframe Change (AFC), Support Equipment Change (SEC), etc. An interim change is a technical directive issued by message or message format letter that dictates urgent dissemination. A bulletin is an interim document comprised of instructions and information that directs a onetime inspection to determine whether a given condition exists. It specifies what action is to be taken if a given condition is found or not found. A rapid action minor engineering change (RAMEC) is a message TD, which provides for quick action on minor changes that offer significant advantages to the operating forces. NAVAIRINST 5215.10 contains complete information on the RAMEC program. Management and procedure functions of the NAVAIR RAMEC TD system are described in NAVAIRSYSCOM Technical Directives System, NAVAIR-00-25-300. Q40. Q41. Q42. Q43. Q44. Q45. What is the purpose of the Technical Directive System? What are the two styles of Technical Directives (TDs)? What are the four types of instructions to be distributed under the Technical Directive System? A technical directive issued by message or message format letter that dictates urgent dissemination is known as what type of change? An interim document that directs a onetime inspection to determine if a given condition exists is known as what type of technical directive? What is a rapid action minor engineering change (RAMEC)? 2-31
