scope:

This specification covers the requirements for the preparation of inspection and maintenance requirements (-6) manuals, acceptance and functional check flight procedures (-6CF) manuals, functional check flight (-6CL) checklists, inspection (-6WC) work cards, inspection flow/sequence charts, general requirements for all checklists, and specific requirements for maintenance checklists (as applicable to aircraft, Communication Electronic (CE) equipment, air/ground launched missiles, drones, support/systems equipment, rockets and electronic systems). Some systems may require an inspection requirements manual only, or work cards only. For other systems a combination of both inspection manual and work cards may be more suitable. In addition to "paper" delivery, this specification provides for electronic delivery of data through the use of the Document Type Definitions (DTD) contained in Appendixes A through F. Beneficial comments (recommendations, addition, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: HQ AFLC/ENCS, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-5000 by using the self addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.
