MIL-DTL-5096G
6.6.14 Minor inspection. Minor inspections consist of inspections to determine if conditions exist which
could result in failures or malfunctions prior to the next scheduled inspection and are more searching
in scope than the home station check inspection.
6.6.15 Notes. A note is a short message which describes an unusual procedure or condition to which
special attention must be paid for any reason (but it may not replace a caution or warning.)
6.6.16 Parent manuals. Parent manuals are those that contain complete operational and maintenance
instructions and from which checklist items are extracted.
6.6.17 Periodic inspection. Periodic inspections are accomplished upon accrual of a number of lying
hours, operating hours, or at the expiration of a calendar period.
6.6.18 Planned inspection concept. Method of performing speciic preventive
maintenance and inspection
requirements on a scheduled basis and predetermines the numbers and skills
of maintenance personnel
required to accomplish the predictable portion of the inspection. It effectively
utilizes maintenance personnel
in accordance with their skills against a time schedule using work cards and
sequence charts.
6.6.19 Prelight/preoperation inspection. A (light) preparedness inspection that checks items that, due to
environment, are subject to damage by outside forces, such as ground equipment, maintenance crews,
elements of nature, etc. This inspection also checks items that, due to design characteristics, normally require
service or veriication of service prior to the irst light/operation of the day.
6.6.20 Preventive maintenance. The normal inspection, upkeep, and lubrication of equipment which may be
required to maintain serviceability of equipment which has been subjected to usage, wear and deterioration.
6.6.21 Special inspection. An inspection which supplements other inspections (daily, preoperation, periodic,
lying hours, operating hours, or calendar) and are accomplished because of speciic circumstances or upon
occurrence of speciic conditions or events. This may also include those requirements having a prescribed
interval or frequency which do not coincide with the scheduled periodic, phased or isochronal inspection.
6.6.22 Special inspection and maintenance requirements. The special inspection acceptance and functional
check lights, depot level inspection, and maintenance level requirements are performed to determine item or
weapon system serviceability. Special inspections include the following:
a. Functions to be accomplished at the expiration of a speciied number of lying hours, equipment
hours of operation, and lapse of calendar time.
b. Functions to be accomplished after the occurrence of a speciied or unusual condition or incident,
and when accepting an aircraft after extensive modiications.
6.6.23 Support equipment. All articles required to make a weapon system, command and control system,
support system, advanced objective, subsystem, or end item or equipment operational in its intended
environment. This includes all equipment required to install, launch, arrest, guide, control, direct, inspect, test,
adjust, appraise, gage, measure, assemble, disassemble, handle, transport, safeguard, store, actuate, service,
repair, overhaul, maintain, or operate the system, subsystem, end item, or component. This comprises special
tools and test devices, including measurement standards required for support of items supporting equipment.
6.6.24 Thrulight inspection. This inspection is a between lights general visual examination of certain
components, areas, or systems, to assure that no defects exist which would render the aircraft unsuitable
for light continuance.
6.6.25 Veriication. Veriication, in the context of this speciication, equates to the contractor s quality
assurance program for validating the content of the WP/SWP. Suggested validation methods include:
a. Actual performance. Using production conigured equipment, hands-on performance of the
procedure using the technical instructions as written.
b. Simulation. Using production conigured equipment and the technical manual procedure,
simulate the actions required by comparing the task steps to the hardware, while not actually
removing any equipment.
c. Table top analysis. Primarily for non-procedural data, compare the technical content to source
data to ensure the technical accuracy and depth of coverage.
