Inspection/Servicing Manual."
3.2.4.2.2 Special, preservation, and conditional manual(s) (SE/ATE).
a. Special inspection manual (SE/ATE). Requirements sensitive to the occurrence of a
prescribed number of days, operating hours, or cycles that are not compatible with
inspection intervals shall appear on Special Inspection cards (for example, 7, 14, or 21
days; 10, 35, or 75 hours). When assembling special cards, every effort shall be made to
limit to eight hours EMT the time required to perform any special inspection or
combination of special inspections which, because of their intervals, become due
simultaneously. The following detailed requirements apply:
(1) Corrosion inspection requirements. The corrosion inspection program for items that
are predominantly calendar sensitive shall consist of special inspections based on a
cumulative number of days. These requirements are to inspect corrosion-prone areas
for degradation that may have occurred during the preceding inspection interval.
Corrosion-prone area illustrations shall be provided where necessary for clarity.
(2) Engine removal/installation requirements. Engine removal/installation requirements
(when required) shall be contained in the special cards by reference to the applicable
maintenance manual (for example: "Remove engine in accordance with NAVAIR 01-
XXX-X"). These cards shall list the total time required, consumable maintenance
materials, and replacement parts needed to accomplish the removal or installation of
the engine.
(3) Engine bay area requirements. Inspections of equipment, components, and/or
structures within the engine bay area that are practical only with the engine removed
shall be programmed as specials at the same interval as the scheduled engine removal.
The applicable cards shall contain the following: "NOTE: To be performed when the
QECA is removed for scheduled inspection."
(4) Installed engine requirements. All engine, propeller and QEC maintenance
requirements which are performed on the installed engine/QEC that do not have
intervals compatible with those established in the phases shall be included as specials.
b. Preservation/depreservation requirements (SE/ATE). Preservation requirements shall be
provided for short term (six months maximum) preservation. Preservation requirements
shall include initial preservation procedures, scheduled maintenance to be accomplished
while the SE or ATE is preserved, and depreservation procedures (see 3.3.26c).
c. Conditional inspections (SE/ATE). Conditional inspections are those unscheduled
