ADRL Requirements Submission

M. W. Miscellaneous field listing—lists all manuals with data in the MISC field in alphanumeric order. Quantities of manuals by workcenter—is an AUDIT 2002 listing that lists each copy of each manual in the activity with NAVAIR number, date, change number, change date, work center, and location. ADRL Requirements Submission The ADRL Requirements Submission option (fig. 3-9) places all your NAVAIR or Air Force technical manual requirements on a diskette for submission to NATEC (NAVAIR) or the appropriate Air Force activity. The program also generates the transmittal form for your ADRL request when you may need to mail the file. If you have modem or Internet capability, you should transmit your NAVAIR ADRL file to NATEC via the Streamlined Automated Logistics Transmission System (SALTS) or Internet. Toolbox Utility The Toolbox Utility option (fig. 3-10) lets you print CECRs; list outstanding or all issued CECRs, print a tickler file listing, view the dead file, print a list of daily requirements, or order manuals via modem, message, or by diskette submission. TECHNICAL PUBLICATION INITIAL OUTFITTING A newly commissioned or reactivated activity must request initial outfitting of general and specific technical manuals. This is done by submitting a request to NATEC. Activities submit initial outfitting requirements by using the automated TPL program. The request includes the type of manuals required. These manuals include general publications and specific publications for a particular aircraft, missile, and engine in the inventory of the activity. An initial outfitting request should be specific and should include the following information: *** PLEASE READ *** This program calculates the number of copies per manual you need by counting each copy. When you control manuals where all copies are not in your database, then your automatic distribution quantity can be wrong in the ADRI report. Examples of this would include such manuals as the functional checkflight checklists, which are consumable, or NATOPS manuals, which are normally maintained by the NATOPS department. To adjust for this situation you can indicate the correct distribution quantity in the remarks field of the first copy of the manual. To do this, insert a plus sign (+) as the FIRST character in the remarks field, immediately followed by a 3 digit quantity – for instance, +050 would indicate a quantity of 50. REMEMBER: the + sign in the remarks is only a workaround for unusual situations, normal procedure is to have one record in your database for each copy of the manual you manage. NOTE: You can still place any additional information in the remarks field following the quantity without a problem. Would you like to continue?
