stores loading manuals provide standardized weapons system release and control checks as well as loading, arming, and safing procedures for weapons systems. Tactical Manuals Tactical   manuals   define   aircraft   operational parameters as well as weapons and stores clearances. They also state combat capabilities and CNO-authorized   limitations. Q1. What type of publication contains a schedule of forced  removal  items  and  their  replacement intervals and a record of applicable technical directives? Q2. What type of publication covers minimum daily inspection requirements for servicing and the performance  of  special  and  conditional inspections? TECHNICAL MANUAL NUMBERING SYSTEMS LEARNING  OBJECTIVE:  Recognize  the two technical manual numbering systems that are used within the Naval Establishment. The  structure  of  numerical  and  alphabetical combinations of 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  num- bering  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 consists of three parts, separated by dashes (-). Additional numbers may be added to show multiple volumes of a manual. 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   Naval   Air   Systems   Command Technical  Manual  Program,  NAVAIR  00-250-100,  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 3-1, 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. Additional numbers may be used to show system grouping breakout by volume or subsystem grouping by subvolume. For example, in the number -2-2, the second   -2   indicates   the   second   volume   of   a maintenance manual. In the number -2-2.1, the .1 indicates a subvolume within the grouping. Figure 3-1 shows examples of technical manual number assignments. TECHNICAL MANUAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERING SYSTEM (TMINS) The TMINS numbering system is part of the effort to standardize technical manual numbers for all ships, aircraft, and equipment. Navy Standard Technical Manual  Identification  Numbering  System,  NAV- AIRINST  4160.1,  establishes  the  TMINS  for aeronautic publications. The TMINS provides a single user-oriented  numbering  and  indexing  system.  It  meets the  requirements  of  all  systems  commands  for identifying,  referencing,  and  requisitioning  technical manuals and changes. The system also makes it easier to identify and order manuals for the operating forces and other users. It is compatible with automatic data processing (ADP) procedures. The OPNAV Applica- tion Guide and Index, OPNAV N0000-00-1DX-000/ TMINS, should be available in your technical library. By using this guide and index, you will be able to understand and use the TMINS. The  TMINS  assigns  each  technical  manual  a unique identifying alphanumeric designation patterned after the 13-digit National Stock Number (NSN); for example,  A1-F18AA-NFM-500.  It  serves  as  the 3-3
