use a regular single-line log entry for each
part. The priority that appears in the log
entry is the overall category assigned to the
TD.
When a TD is composed of several parts to
be accomplished at different times, make
separate consecutive log entries for each
part, indicating the priority and status of
each. Never include a multiple-part TD in a
block entry unless all parts of the TD have
been incorporated.
In instances where a single line has been left
for a directive that has not been received and
a multiple-part TD is subsequently received,
enter part 1 on the applicable TD page.
Reference to the remaining parts of the TD
should be made in this entry. The remaining
parts of the TD should be recorded on the
applicable TD revisions page.
Occasionally, your activity may need to remove a
TD. This is especially true with power plant changes
(PPCs). Document the removal of a TD much like the
incorporation of a TD. On the TD logbook page, simply
draw a single line through the previous Status code, and
enter Status code "Q" in the same block, along with the
initials of anyone authorized to sign logbooks. Finally,
you must make an entry on the Miscellaneous/History
record, specifying reason for removal of the TD,
location of parts removed, the authorizing reference,
and any other pertinent information.
For a detailed description of the TDSA system, you
should refer to OPNAVINST 4790.2 and The NAVAIR
Technical Directives System, NAVAIR 00-25-300.

MISCELLANEOUS/HISTORY (OPNAV
4790/25A)
This section of the logbook (fig. 6-9) is used by
operating activities to record significant information
that affects the aircraft for which no other space is
provided in the logbook.
Examples of such information include:
Abnormal flight characteristics
Peculiar troubles of an undetermined nature
Damage to the aircraft
Major component changes not logged
elsewhere
Instance of aircraft or equipment exposure
to large quantities of salt water, fire extin-
guishing agents, or other corrosive elements
Authorizations for service period extension
and PED, and operational service months
(OPSERMOS) adjustment as a result of an
ASPA inspection
Verification of flight hours in period and
since new on acceptance and transfer
The original activity that accepts an aircraft for the
Navy should make a Miscellaneous/History logbook
entry that shows the date the acceptance check flight
was flown. A date, signature, and activity
accomplishing the action will accompany all entries in
this section. At the time of standard rework, items of
historical value are transcribed to a new form and
retained as a permanent part of the logbook.
When making entries on the Miscellaneous/
History record, you should make sure that you
accurately describe the situation that led to the entry.
Some situations require specific wording to accurately
describe the situation. Specific wording assists
maintenance crews in the repair process by accurately
describing what happened and at what maintenance
level the situation occurred. Such wording also
provides uniformity of entries from activity to activity.
Some situations that require specific wording include:
Changes in the aircrafts or equipments
authorized inspection interval.
Change in the inspection induction date or
hourly sequence of aircraft or equipment.
Hydraulic contamination testing reveals
Navy standard class V contamination has
been exceeded.
