principles of operation, local assembly and manufacturing procedures, wiring data, etc. The final
output of the task development phase is the technical manual outline (see NAVAIR
00-25-700 and MIL-DTL-81927).
3.2 Review of existing related technical manuals. Upon completion of the task analysis, a
review of existing related documentation, including commercial manuals, shall be conducted to
determine if the coverage requirements of the task analysis can be met by reference to NAVAIR
manual (including the manual(s) being developed, or adding selected commercial manuals to the
NAVAIR technical manual inventory). Documents that are considered part of the related
hardware (such as Test Program Instructions) that contain all or part of the testing and
troubleshooting instructions shall be referenced. If all or part of the minimum requirements
determined by the task analysis are not included in the referenced material or other related
documentation, the contractor shall notify the requiring activity. The contractor shall advise the
requiring activity of any commercial manuals meeting the coverage requirements of the task
analysis. The requiring activity will determine if the selected commercial manual will be procured
and/or the missing data will be added to the referenced material or the manual under preparation.
3.3 Aircraft Maintenance Instructions Manuals (MIMs).
3.3.1 Breakout and arrangement of maintenance information. The initial step in the
preparation of a set of organizational maintenance manuals shall be the identification of the
technical manuals required for support of the aircraft at the organizational maintenance level
(refer to NAVAIR 00-25-700).
3.3.1.1 Division of existing manuals. When specified in the contract, existing maintenance
manuals shall be divided as described in MIL-DTL-81927. Division shall be performed when
segregation of data by system or functional element is mandatory to improve usability. When
such division is required, the two or more manuals shall be rearranged and prepared as another
manual within the set. The existing data should be used, as far as feasible, in the new manual.
WPs shall be renumbered as required.
3.3.2 Aircraft systems and equipment MIMs.
3.3.2.1 Operation instructions for aircraft systems and equipment. Operation instructions for
aircraft systems and installed equipment should be provided in NATOPS manuals and shall not be
covered in the aircraft MIMs. General operating procedures performed by squadron
organizational maintenance personnel should be provided in the aircraft general instructions
manuals (refer to 3.3.3).
