MIL-DTL-5096G
3.2.1.1.1 Frequency requirements. The determination of each individual requirement and how frequently
these requirements should be scheduled, shall be accomplished from the source data collected from
MECSIP process spelled out in the MIL-STD-1798, Mechanical Equipment And Subsystems Integrity
Program (see 2.2.1) and the acquiring activity.
3.2.1.1.2 Basis. Initial requirements as determined by the acquiring activity (see 6.2e.), shall be based on
technical and maintenance analysis, using the following objectives of an eficient maintenance program:
a. To prevent deterioration of the inherent design levels of reliability and operating safety.
b. To accomplish this protection at the minimum practical costs.
3.2.1.2 Excluded information. The inspection requirements shall not explain procedures for removal or
installation of equipment nor contain instructions for repair or adjustment. Reference to this type of
information shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-38784.
Electronic Presentation: References shall be linked to the data to which it applies.
3.2.1.3 Functional nature requirements. The design of a weapon or support system may include various
functional systems (i.e. made up of components from several systems). In such cases, the inspections may
be broken out by functional systems, as necessary, under suitable headings.
3.2.1.4 Additional considerations. Preparation of the inspection requirements may involve more than just
inserting data applicable to systems or end items. The impact of a component failure upon the remainder of a
functional system, the impact of a part failure upon the remainder of a functional system, and the impact of
a part failure in a component shall also be considered. If visual inspection or other nondestructive inspection
can be utilized to detect wear or other evidence of impending failure, those factors shall be weighed in
determining scheduled maintenance. When preparing structural inspections, consideration shall be given in
determining what stresses are applied to the structure and what structural components are likely to be affected.
3.2.1.5 Syntax. The syntax for stating inspection requirements shall be "Noun" followed by the adverse
condition to be sought. Example: "Exhaust Nozzle for cracks and corrosion."
3.2.1.6 Inspection intervals. To simplify recording and scheduling of inspections, all inspection intervals
shall be divisible by the lowest interval, rounded to the conservative side. This information cannot be any
more speciic. Since this speciication covers all inspection manuals, and covers all intervals from hours
to years, the details need to determined by the acquiring activity.
3.2.1.7 Components coverage. Unless otherwise speciied by the acquiring activity, all installed subsystems,
components, etc., shall be covered. The acquiring activity will provide a listing of any items, components
or subsystems exempt from coverage (see 6.2f.).
3.2.2 Arrangement and contents (-6 manual). Appendix A provides the DTD for structured content and
SGML ile delivery of the -6 manual. The manual shall be arranged and divided into chapters as follows:
Front matter
Chapter 1
Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance Requirements
Chapter 2
Special Inspections and Maintenance Requirements (includes Depot Level
Requirements, Acceptance and Functional Check Flight)
Chapter 3
Replacement Schedule
Chapter 4
Repair Restrictions
Print Presentation: The manual shall be prepared in 8 ½ by 11 inch format.
Electronic Presentation: Data for chapters 1 through 4 shall be formatted as a scrolling table viewable
by section.
3.2.2.1 Front matter (-6 manual). Front matter shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of
MIL-STD-38784 except that the foreword shall contain the statements shown in Figure 1, with appropriate
changes for the type of equipment being addressed. The need for additional information applicable to a speciic
weapon system or any modiications to the foreword shall be as speciied by the acquiring activity (see 6.2g.).
