6.4 Deinitions. For the purposes of this document, the following deinitions apply.
6.4.1 Accessory. An item which is required to mate the munition/weapon to the aircraft and which remains
as an integral part of the system (e.g. pylon, missile launcher and adapter, Multiple Ejector Rack (MER),
Triple Ejector Rack (TER), and other bomb racks).
6.4.2 Checklists. Checklists are condensed versions of the loading procedures in the manuals.
6.4.3 Integrated Checklist. A technical order pertaining to the loading of two or more different types of
munitions/weapons. For example: AIM-120 (nonnuclear) and AIM-9 (nonnuclear), or AIM-9 B61 (nuclear).
6.4.4 Loading/unloading. Terms applied when a munition/weapon or an accessory loaded with a
munition/weapon is placed on, or removed from, an aircraft (e.g. single bombs, preloaded accessories,
preloaded rocket launchers, preloaded dispensers).
6.4.5 Munitions. A general term covering nonnuclear munitions.
6.4.6 Nonnuclear munitions. Nonnuclear bombs, fuzes, warheads, missiles, rockets, mines, destructors,
pyrotechnics, LAU-Series Rocket Launchers, SUU-42/A and SUU-65 series dispensers, chemical materials, and
items; such as, impulse cartridge jettison charges, training items, ammunition, and other non-aircraft inventory
items considered similar or relative to nonnuclear munitions, including accessories which have been preloaded.
6.4.7 Technical orders. The term "technical order" as used herein applies to both manuals and checklists.
6.4.8 Veriication. Veriication (section 4), in the context of this speciication equates to the contractor s
quality assurance program for validating the content of the manuals and checklists. 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 cond equipment and the manual procedures and checklists,
simulate the actions required by the task steps.
c. Table top analysis. Primarily for nonprocedural data, compare the technical content to source
data to ensure the technical accuracy and depth of coverage.
6.4.9 Weapons. A general term covering both nuclear bombs/missiles.
6.5 Bombs/weapons loading procedures. Loading procedures, for a speciic weapon to be loaded on an
aircraft equipped with more than one type of bomb rack, may be presented in one section, by preixing
minor procedural differences with applicability notations (see 3.1.5). However, loading procedures, for a
speciic weapon on an aircraft which has an internal and external carriage capability, could dictate individual
sections for each station loading (e.g., weapon bay) (see 3.3.3).
6.6 Chapter, section, and paragraph titles. Items with "(munitions)" indicate the requirement is also
applicable to the nonnuclear munitions loading procedures manual and nonnuclear munitions loading
6.7 Emergency procedures. Emergency procedures are included in standard data package 37 (see 3.11.2.2.3).
6.8 General safety requirements. Standard data package 37 contains most of this information (see
3.6.2.1 and 3.11.2.2.2).
6.9 Illustrations. References to illustrations in the text need not state speciically the purpose of
the illustration, if the purpose is obvious. Illustrations may be used more than once, if necessary,
for clarity (see 3.1.2).
6.10 Integrated combat turnaround procedures. These procedures are used by qualiied personnel to
service, maintain, and load/unload munitions on aircraft under combat or combat training turnaround
conditions (see 1.4).
6.11 Integrated loading procedures checklists. These checklists may contain a combination of procedural
steps from -16 (nuclear) and -33 (nonnuclear) loading manuals (see 3.2.7.1).
6.12 Loading procedures checklists. These checklists will be assigned the basic number of the Stage A
cross-servicing guide (i.e., 1F-4C-2CL-X) (see 3.11.1).
