Study Notes

Prototype

A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process.
It is used to evaluate a new design to enhance precision by system analysts and users.

Technical Directives

Technical Directives (TDs) are used to authorize retrofit changes and provide detailed instructions for installing those changes.
Assignment of TD category is based on the timeframe of greater than 36 months, but not to assign a compliance timeframe.
Compliance timeframes will be assigned in the Compliance element of each TD.

Record Purpose

The Record Purpose category is assigned to Formal Change TDs issued to document configuration changes that have been incorporated in all affected equipment by the change designer/originator.
The Record Purpose category may be assigned only to Formal Change TDs and only when the period for change incorporation in all affected systems is 18 months or less from the date of CCB approval.

Training Equipment

TDs shall be titled “Training Equipment” when the action required affects training equipment under the management control of NAVAIR PMA 205.
TECs and TEBs are managed by PMA 205 and are authorized by SUSTAINMENT GROUP, TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES/BULLETINS BRANCH.

Service Life

No TD code is assigned to Service Life Bulletins (SLBs).
SLBs are used to issue immediate or urgent changes to defined life limits of systems or equipment under the cognizance of NAVAIR.

Technical Directive Developmental Stages

TDs pass through several developmental stages during preparation, validation, verification, approval, and publication.
ALL IDPs and BSDs must be posted to the NATEC website along with their associated TDs, unless waived by NAVAIR SUSTAINMENT GROUP, TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES/BULLETINS BRANCH.

Technical Directive Validation

Validation is an engineering process by which the originator accomplishes all tasks required by a proposed change to ensure the modified items function as intended.
Validation must be performed for all TDs unless a waiver is approved.
Bulletins must follow this validation process also, even though there is no modification.

Technical Directive Verification

Verification is the process for determining the accuracy and adequacy of a proposed TD and reporting results to the preparing activity.
Verification is the actual installation of change kits, incorporation of changes, or performance of inspections by personnel of the prescribed skill, and performed at the compliance level approved by the CCB action.
Successful verifications are authorized installations and may remain installed if approved by TYCOM.
