In addition, the manual also assigned roles and responsibilities for establishing, managing, monitoring and executing end-to-end TM processes. 3-1 USE OF THE TECHNICAL MANUAL 3-2 Navy TMs contain a description of weapons systems, weapons, components, and equipment with instructions for their use and maintenance. TMs are usually divided into two main types: operations and maintenance. They are grouped in a variety of categories predicated on the type of equipment used and the intended maintenance requirements. 1 NAVAIR 00-25-100 002 00 01 April 2022 3-3 Some of the more frequently seen categories are: operations manuals, such as Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) Flight Manual and associated pocket checklists and Tactical Manual/Naval Aviation Technical Information Product (TACMAN/NATIP); maintenance manuals such as Maintenance Instruction Manuals (MIMs), including wiring repair manuals (WRMs), structural repair manuals (SRMs), and illustrated parts breakdown (IPB) manuals. A complete list of manuals is provided in WP 004 00. 3-4 COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department is assigned the responsibility of establishing, managing and monitoring the end-to-end policies, processes and execution for TMs. NAVAIR acts as the primary fleet champion for ensuring NAVAIR technical publication products have quality content and usability, in addition to this work package, which contains an overview of the TM management processes and the individual roles and responsibilities are standardized for “look and feel,” and distributed by standard processes in a timely manner. 3-5 It must be recognized not every task or maintenance procedure must, or will, are described in the manual. Standard shop practice, basic technical knowledge, task complexity and safety considerations are governing criteria for determining new manual requirements and/or change or revision requirements to existing manuals. When local user activity controversy arises concerning these areas, Type Commanders (TYCOMs) must render a decision concerning use or applicability. 3-6 When new instructions or procedures are required they will be incorporated into the TMs. Users can contribute to manual change through the utilization of the Technical Publications Deficiency Report (TPDR) through Joint Deficiency Reporting System (JDRS) (WP 015 00). For NATOPS flight and Tactical manuals, OPNAV Form 3710/6, NATOPS/Tactical Change Recommendation, other acceptable means as specified in COMNAVAIRFOR M-3710.7 or Airworthiness Issue Resolution System (AIRS website) shall be used (WP 015 00). 4-1 MISSION ALIGNED ORGANIZATION/INTEGRATED PROGRAM TEAM (MAO/IPT) ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF TECHNICAL MANUALS 4-2 The Program Management Office (PMO), through the Integrated Program Team/Fleet Support Team (IPT/FST), Logistics Element Managers (LEMs) or Data Managers (DMs) organization, identifies the need for TMs in support of new weapon systems, subsystems, support equipment, related hardware, firmware, or software procurements, or in support of hardware or software modification procurements, i.e., approved Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). 4-3 COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department personnel are assigned responsibility for overall policy and processes for the centralized acquisition and sustainment of TMs. This responsibility entails development and maintenance of policy, procedures and specifications that ensure distribution and documentation that will effectively support weapons and equipment in the hands of the fleet user. 4-4 Under the MAO/IPT the COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department is assigned the responsibility of establishing, managing, and monitoring the end-to-end policies, processes and execution thereof for technical publications. The COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department acts as the primary fleet champion for ensuring that NAVAIR’s technical publication products achieve quality in content and usability, are standardized in “look and feel,” and are distributed by standard processes in a timely manner. 4-5 The LEM is the single point of contact for the program for all matters relating to the end-to-end management of publications for that program. The LEM’s responsibilities include coordination and management of efforts across NAVAIR sites/organizations and contractors producing TMs. The LEM area of responsibility extends to oversight of IPT processes that may affect fleet Central Technical Publications Library (CTPL) management of the TM product. COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department managers should be engaged early in order to partner with programs to avoid stovepipe corporate or fleet processes. 4-6 AUTHORIZED ISSUING COMMANDS. TMs issued within the naval establishment for aircraft and related systems operation and maintenance are issued under the direction of the Commander, Naval Air Systems Command. Those TMs concerned with flight personnel training and air operations are issued by the authority of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and under the direction of the Commander, Naval 2 NAVAIR 00-25-100 002 00 01 April 2022 4-7 DISTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL MANUALS: COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department defines all policies relative to the distribution, repository and archive of technical manuals. NATEC is responsible for executing NAVAIR’s policies relative to the distribution, repository and archive of technical manuals. 4-8 To ensure configuration management and control of technical data, NATEC is designated as the authoritative source and technical manual repository for all NAVAIR TMs, whether they are in paper or digital format. NATEC will coordinate the distribution of all TMs in paper, CD-ROM, or other approved digital media. Any deviation from this policy will require a written waiver from NAVAIR Technical Data Branch. 4-9 The NATEC website and/or Joint Delivery Management System (JDMS) are the ONLY official repositories for storage and access to digital NAVAIR TMs. Deviations from this policy will require approval from NAVAIR Technical Data Branch. Manuals on a local JDMS/TM Server are authorized for maintenance use with the same restrictions as manuals downloaded from the NATEC website. If there is a difference in configuration between the NATEC Website and JDMS, the NATEC Website will be the authoritative source. Distribution of NAVAIR TMs for maintenance purposes without a written waiver from COMFRC FST HQ Technical Data Department is prohibited. Additional data is available concerning digital TMs in WP 011 00. 5-1 USE OF OTHER NAVY/ARMY/AIR FORCE PUBLICATIONS IN THE NAVAIR SYSTEM 5-2 In addition to the documents prepared and published by NAVAIR, the Technical Manual Program uses various TMs and publications prepared by other Naval Systems Commands, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Air Force. In most cases, joint use TMs will be issued a publication number by each using service with the top number being the service having cognizance of the manual, i.e., Navy, Air Force, and Army. 5-3 Joint use Air Force and Army TMs should be requisitioned in accordance with the instructions identified in WP 006 00. Requisition other NAVAIR publications media by following the procedural instructions appearing in WP 006 00. 6-1 APPROVED TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS LIBRARY PROGRAM 6-2 The NATEC Technical Manual Application System (TMAPS) Enhanced Library Management System (ELMS) is the only automated system authorized for use in managing NAVAIR technical data in the CTPL. The ELMS application user is not required to submit an Automatic Distribution Requirements List (ADRL) because their requirements are updated as "real time" via the NATEC TMAPS website. For further guidelines in validating TMs maintained by the customer, refer to WP 010 00. 6-3 If assistance is required, please contact a Technical Data Management Specialist (TDMS) (WP 003 00) or send email to [email protected]. 7-1 USE OF SHALL, MUST, WILL, SHOULD AND MAY 7-2 The usage and intended meaning of “shall,” “must,” “will,” and “may” utilized in the preparation of this publication as follows: "Shall,” “must" and “will” indicate procedure is mandatory.
