material on a graph. When an illustration is 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). On diagrams, bordering or pointing hands indicate the area containing the changed or added information (fig. 2-11). Extensively changed or added areas are indicated by a change bar around the affected presentation. or change bar across the top of the affected image area. Rapid Action Changes (RACs) The function of the RAC is to expedite the dissemination of urgent operation and maintenance change information. RACs are applicable to all In-Production and Out-of-Production NAVAIR weapons system maintenance instruction manuals, related component equipment manuals, maintenance requirements cards, illustrated parts breakdowns, support equipment, weapons handling and loading manuals, calibration manuals, and other related procedural manuals. For more in-depth information, message format and incorporation procedures for RACs, refer to NAVAIR 00-25-100. Q7. Q8. Q9. Q10. Q11. Q12. Q13. Q14. Q15.

TECHNICAL MANUAL NUMBERING SYSTEM LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the categories used in numbering technical manuals. The numerical and alphabetical combination used for a NAVAIR technical manual 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. There are two numbering systems presently in use by NAVAIR: the older NAVAIR publication numbering system and the newer Technical Manual Identification Numbering System (TMINS). You must be able to use both numbering systems. NAVAIR Publication Numbering System The NAVAIR manual publication number consists of a prefix (NAVAIR or NA for NAVAIRSYSCOM) that designates the command responsible for developing or maintaining the manual. The manual number is divided into three parts, separated by a dash (-). Additional numbers may be added to show multiple volumes of a manual. The three parts that make up the NAVAIR manual number are discussed in the following paragraphs. Part I of the publication number is the category. Normally it is a two-digit number (in some cases two digits and a letter). It designates the major category of the manual; for example, 00 tells you that this is a general manual; 01 is for airframes, 02 is for power plants. Refer to NAVAIR 00-25-100 for a complete breakdown of publication numbering categories. Part II of the publication number is made up of numbers or numbers and letters. They identify either a basic aircraft model, the manufacturer, or the specific class, group, or subcategory of the manual. For example, in figure 2-16, the number F14AAA in view A identifies the aircraft model. In view D, 75PAC identifies Lockheed as the manufacturer of the P-3C airframe. Part III of the publication number usually identifies a particular type of manual. For example, -1 identifies the NATOPS flight manual, -2 the maintenance instruction manual, -3 the structural repair manual, and -4 the illustrated parts breakdown. 2-14
