systems equipment, rockets and electronic systems\). Some systems may require an inspection requirements manual only, or work cards only. For other systems a combination of both inspection manual and work cards may be more suitable. This specification provides for electronic delivery of data through the use of the Document Type Definitions \(DTD\) listed in Appendixes A through F. \(Appendix E has been deleted.\)

access or ground support equipment, etc. Care shall be taken to put all items located in the same dificult

access area in the same package to minimize time involved in gaining access to the equipment.

3.6.5.3.4 Combining packages. Instructions on whether phased packages can be combined and the number

of packages authorized at one time for an approved inspection shall be as speciied by the acquiring

activity (see 6.2ad.) and relected in the foreword of the phased work cards. Typical statements are:

"Accomplishment of multiple packages for interval greater than the basic phased interval is not authorized,"

or "Combining 2 packages for a 50 hour interval or 4 packages for a 100 hour interval is authorized.

Combination of more than 4 packages for other intervals is not authorized."

3.6.5.4 Periodic inspection work cards. Periodic inspection work cards shall relect the requirements in the

inspection manual and shall provide for a complete inspection of the aircraft or equipment.

3.6.5.5 Isochronal inspection work cards. Isochronal inspection work cards shall relect the requirements in

the inspection manual. The following inspection work cards shall be included in isochronal inspections:

a. Home station check inspection work cards.

b. Minor inspection work cards.

c. Major inspection work cards.

3.7 Checklists (see Figure 20). Appendix F provides the DTD for electronic delivery of checklists.

3.7.1 Checklist front matter. Front matter shall be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-38784.

3.7.2 Checklist size and arrangement. Print Presentation: Unless otherwise speciied by the acquiring

activity, checklists shall be prepared in 5 by 8 inch size (see 6.2ae.) and be arranged head to head. When

speciied by the acquiring activity, checklists shall be prepared in 8 � by 11 inch size and/or be arranged

head to foot (see 6.2af.). When arranged head to foot, the technical manual identiication number shall be at

the upper right and, the page and change numbers shall be in the lower right.

Electronic Presentation: Data shall be formatted as a scrolling table.

3.7.3 Style and format of text pages. Text shall be single spaced, except between procedural steps

where double spacing shall be used.

Print Presentation: Style, format, and numbering shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-38784 except that if

the checklist chapters bear titles such as Normal Procedures, Emergency Procedures, Alert Procedures, etc.,

the pages of each chapter shall be numbered N-1, N-2; E-1, E-2; A-1, A-2; etc.

Electronic Presentation: Normal Procedures, Emergency Procedures, Alert Procedures, etc., shall be identiied

in the TOC and linked to the data in which it applies.

3.7.4 Illustrations. Illustrations shall be included only when absolutely necessary to preclude continuous

reference to critical data in applicable maintenance manuals. They shall be limited to charts or graphs that

contain information which is variable such as temperature or humidity stabilization prior to testing.

3.7.5 Maintenance/operation (non-light crew) checklists. The parent manuals shall be used as the source

documents for obtaining the basic checklist requirements. Checklists shall condense required tasks. They

shall standardize, control, integrate, and time phase tasks. They shall be prepared to prevent potential

injury or loss of life to personnel. Tasks shall be listed in the most logical and convenient sequence

of accomplishment. Checklists shall tell what to do and when it shall be accomplished. They shall

not contain instructions on how to do a task.

3.7.5.1 Maintenance/operation (non-light crew) checklist format. Checklist tasks shall be presented in a

demand/response format, when practical, with the demands at the left and the responses at the right. The

responses shall be in upper case letters or igures. Blank lines shall be provided to the right of the responses

as check spaces. If insuficient space is available, the blank line shall be entered below each response. Normal

readings (and tolerances, if applicable) shall be shown in the response column. Leaders shall be inserted

between the columns; e.g. "Demand......Response". The demand/response presentation need not consist of a

complete sentence. The function title shall be in upper case letters and shall be underlined. All controls such

as switch names and switch positions shall be as marked on the hardware. All other tasks shall have only
