MAJOR CATEGORIES OF NAVAIR TECHNICAL MANUALS LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the major categories of technical manuals. NAVAIR technical manuals are grouped in categories according to type and peculiarities of the requirement. Based on intended use, publications are tailored to improve usability. Manuals that you will use the most are discussed in the following paragraphs. GENERAL SERIES MANUALS (00 SERIES) As indicated by its title, the technical manuals within this series contain information of interest to a major portion of the aviation community. Part of this series is the technical manual indexes, which will be discussed later in this chapter. Also included are standard aircraft characteristics manuals, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (DCNO) (Air Warfare) training literature, documentation management and procedures manuals, and other miscellaneous publications. The general series (00 series) contains the aviation training literature (00-80 series). These publications are issued by the authority of the DCNO (Air Warfare). Included are various air safety manuals and general aviation manuals prepared on subject material related to military skills, ratings, or operational maintenance procedures. These manuals are available through normal supply channels. An additional volume has been added to the new technical manual system for late model aircraft. This is the “zero” volume.
