MIL-DTL-38804D
3.5.2.9.4 Security Assistance Program (SAP). When kits are procured by an AFMC/AFCA/AFSPC
organization that includes SAP (Grant-Aid/Foreign Military Sales [FMS]) customers, special handling
instructions shall be provided by the acquiring activity (see 6.2p.). These shall be listed under "NOTES"
(see 3.5.2.9).
3.5.2.9.5 Single TCTO method. When the single TCTO method is used (see 6.4.5), the preparing activity
shall insert the following note: "This TCTO is issued under the single TCTO method. No companion
aircraft or commodity TCTO(s) shall be issued."
3.5.2.9.6 Omitted note heading. When none of the preceding conditions exist (subparagraphs 3.5.2.9.1
through 3.5.2.9.5), the NOTE heading shall be omitted.
3.5.2.10 STINFO Disclosure Notice, Distribution Statement, Export Control Notice, and Destruction
Notice. The acquiring activity shall provide the appropriate STINFO Disclosure Notices, Distribution
Statements, Export Control Notices, and Destruction Notices in accordance with MIL-STD-38784. These
statements shall be placed at the bottom of the irst (title) page/screen of all TCTOs and supplements thereto
3.5.3 Application (paragraph 1).
3.5.3.1 Identiication. Subparagraph 1.1 shall completely identify the major item, component, assembly,
part number, and serial numbers affected by the modiication, retroit change or inspection (see Figure
1 through Figure 6). It is not necessary to list serial numbers for each item/system affected when the
TCTO applies to the complete inventory, except when the item is still in production. The statement "all
series" will also sufice. Where it is more practical, only the serial numbers of those items/systems not
affected may be listed and so identiied. When required for clarity, identiication may be made through use
of a tabular listing (see Figure 1). TCTOs issued to authorize use of computer programs and changes
shall identify the major item and the applicable serial numbers plus the Computer Program Identiication
Number (CPIN) assigned to the program. They shall also identify the quantity of computer programs to
be furnished to each activity possessing the applicable equipment.
3.5.3.1.1 Production change. Where an equivalent retroit change or inspection is incorporated in production,
the production change point shall be speciied in subparagraph 1.1 (see Figure 3).
3.5.3.1.2 Removal from service. When removal from service is necessary to permit accomplishment of a
commodity TCTO, subparagraph 1.1 shall identify the system TCTO to effect the removal from service
action. The corresponding system TCTO application paragraph shall also relect the commodity TCTO by
which the corrective change is effected. For TCTOs issued under the single TCTO method (see 6.4.5),
removal from service information shall be contained in the single TCTO.
3.5.3.1.3 Training equipment. When the acquiring activity speciies that training equipment is involved,
subparagraph 1.1 shall completely identify the training equipment affected. When retroit changes affect both
a system and a simulator, separate TCTOs shall be issued; one in the system series and one in the 43-series
(simulator) with cross reference to the respective TCTO numbers assigned.
3.5.3.2 Kit applicability. When the acquiring activity speciies (see 6.2q.) that kits are involved,
subparagraph 1.2 of this TCTO section shall provide the kit applicability by serial number of the equipment
or by other suitable identiication if the items are not identiied by serial number. If kits are not required,
this paragraph shall read: "Kits are not required by this TCTO."
3.5.3.2.1 Multiple kits. If the acquiring activity so authorizes (see 6.2r.), TCTOs may prescribe multiple
kits, provided that only one kit per TCTO shall be applicable to a single serial numbered item of equipment.
This is essential for coniguration and kit management. Applicability shall be given by model/part number of
the equipment, serial number of the equipment and applicable kit (see Figure 3). Two or more kits shall not
be shown as applicable to a single serial numbered system or equipment. To ensure that there is only one
kit per TCTO applicable to a single serial numbered item, the following instruction is provided: If, after
issuing a TCTO, the acquiring activity determines additional components are required which would result in
additional kits or re-engineering of the original kit, a new TCTO or supplement shall be issued with
a new Data Code number. The new TCTO or supplement shall specify that it must be accomplished
either concurrently with or subsequent to the original or basic TCTO.
