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
