v. If electronic methods of entry will be used for Chart A data (not applicable to printed
manuals) (see 3.5.9.3.4).
w. When new additional work with limited applicability TCTO supplements are approved (see 3.6.3).
x. If a DTD is required (see 4.2).
y. If a printed copy(ies) of the TCTO or electronic copy of the TCTO and/or BOM will be
included for each kit being furnished (see 5).
6.3 Technical manuals. The requirement for technical manuals should be considered when this speciication
is applied on a contract. If technical manuals are required, speciications and standards that have been
authorized and assigned an Acquisition Management Systems Control (AMSC) number must be listed on a
separate Contract Data Requirements List (DD Form 1423), which is included as an exhibit to the contract.
The technical manuals must be acquired under separate contract line item in the contract.
6.4 Deinitions.
6.4.1 Immediate Action. The type of TCTO used to correct safety conditions which could result in fatal or
serious injury to personnel, or extensive damage or destruction of property.
6.4.2 Interim TCTO (ITCTO). A time compliance technical order that, because of urgency, is issued by the
Air Force by electrical means (i.e., message) that is not a formal TCTO.
6.4.3 Routine Action. The type of TCTO issued for any conditions not covered under immediate or urgent
action TCTOs, used to give instructions to correct equipment or procedural deiciencies of a material,
mechanical, operational, or tactical nature, the uncorrected existence of which could:
a. Constitute a hazard through prolonged continued usage.
b. Have a deteriorative effect on operational eficiency.
c. Reduce tactical or support utility.
d. Reduce operational life or general service utilization of systems or commodities.
6.4.4 Routine Action Record TCTO. A Routine Action Record TCTO is used when a retroit change is of
such magnitude or complexity that it must be accomplished by contractors, mobile depot maintenance,
or speciic Air Force activities higher than organizational or intermediate level and for which detailed
instructions would not be required.
6.4.5 Single TCTO method. The single TCTO method is used only on items which are tracked through
the Comprehensive Engine Management System (CEMS). The single TCTO consists of all information
required to accomplish the one time inspection, replacement or installation of components, retroit change or
alteration to the design or construction of the equipment. For example, the single TCTO would provide
instructions for removal of the part from the aircraft, modiication of the part, installation of the part in
the aircraft and returning the aircraft to service.
6.4.6 Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO). A TCTO is prepared to authorize use of changed
computer programs, impose or direct temporary usage restrictions, accomplishment of modiications/retroit
changes, special "one time" inspection/replacement of components of systems/equipment, or in combination,
where applicable.
6.4.7 Urgent Action. The type of TCTO used to correct potentially hazardous safety conditions that could
result in injury to personnel, damage to property, or when conditions cause unacceptable reductions in
combat eficiency.
