contained  in  NATOPS General Flight and Operating Instructions, OPNAVINST 3710.7. Maintenance technicians who use the publications in the performance of their daily work will discover most technical publication deficiencies. However, as an AZ, you may occasionally discover an error in quality or content in a technical publication. The deficiency may not be limited to a typographical error and  may  include  technically  inaccurate  or  other erroneous information. If you find such an error, you should report it no matter how trivial it may seem. What you think is only a simple misprint may have serious implications. Category 1 (CAT 1) TPDR A CAT 1 TPDR should be submitted whenever a technical publication deficiency is detected which, if not  corrected,  could  result  in  death  or  injury  to personnel, or damage to an aircraft, equipment, or facilities. Submit for a CAT 1 TPDR by priority naval message within 24 hours of discovery of the deficiency. Validity/incorporation notification will be accom- plished within 1 working day after receipt. Category 2 (CAT 2) TPDR Use a CAT 2 TPDR for a routine deficiency in a technical  publication.  Routine  deficiencies  include technical   errors,   incorrect   measurement   values, improper use of support equipment, wrong sequence of adjustments, wrong measurements, part number errors or omissions, and microfilm deficiencies, such as poor film quality. To report a CAT 2 TPDR with the TPL program, select the TPDR function from the View/Edit screen. An electronic transmission of a CAT 2 TPDR significantly reduces submission and response times. Benefits  include  automatic  acknowledgement  of receipt,  status,  reporting  capability,  and  validity/ incorporation notification. You can also submit a CAT 2  TPDR  by  forwarding  a  Technical  Publications Deficiency Report, OPNAV 4790.66 form. Validity/ incorporation notification will be accomplished within 10 working days after receipt when you forward an OPNAV  4790/66. NOTE: A CAT 1 TPDR message or CAT 2 TPDR should  not  be  used  as  justification  to  make  a pen-and-ink   change   to   a   NAVAIR   technical publication  under  any  circumstance.  Physical  alteration of  technical  content  in  a  NAVAIR  technical publication,  including  pen-and-ink  correction,  is  not permitted. Q31. What  program  establishes  requirements  for reporting  substandard  workmanship,  deficiencies in  material  and  technical  publications,  and improper quality assurance procedures? Q32. What  report  should  be  used  to  report discrepancies in new or newly reworked aviation material? Q33. What  report  should  be  used  to  report discrepancies   in   an   aviation   technical publication that include incorrect part numbers or incorrect operating procedures? What  form  is  used  to  report  deficiencies  in NATOPS manuals? Q34. Q35.  What report should be submitted to report a deficiency in an aviation technical publication that, if not corrected, could result in death or injury to personnel? Q36.   A  category  2  technical  publication  deficiency report (CAT 2 TPDR) should be used to report what  type  of  technical  publication  deficiency? Q37.  A   valid   category   1   technical   publication deficiency report (CAT 1 TPDR) or category 2 technical publication deficiency report (CAT 2 TPDR) may be used to alter the technical content of  NAVAIR  technical  publications.  (True  or False) SUMMARY A periodic maintenance information card (PMIC) is a Planned Maintenance System publication that contains information such as a schedule for a forced removal  item,  an  item  replacement  interval requirement, and a record of the applicable technical directives for a system. A maintenance requirements card (MRC) contains the minimum daily inspection requirement for servicing or the requirements for inspection. You  will  work  with  two  publication-numbering systems that are used within the Navy to identify technical  publications—an  older  Navy  (NAVAIR) Technical Manual Numbering System and the current numbering   system,   the   Technical   Manual Identification Numbering System (TMINS). TMINS is patterned after the 13-digit national stock number. The Navy Stock List of Publications, Forms, and Directives,  NAVSUP  PUB  P2002,  contains  the information needed to order Navy publications, forms, 3-29
