6.1.2 Exceptions.
6.1.2.1 Electronic Rapid Action Changes (ERACs). ERACs support the sustainment of
Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM) and accomplish the purpose and function of
IRACs in a digital format. ERACs meet the electronic requirements of specific platforms and
are issued in accordance with those conditions warranting an IRAC as defined in this
specification. Individual program requirements dictate the presentation systems used to display
ERACs and drive the specific format of those ERACs issued. Although not identified in this
