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
