The technical content structure for these work packages shall be consistent from work package to work package. IPB illustration(s) shall be utilized to support the procedural maintenance steps. Other maintenance illustrations shall be included where a critical measurement, dimension, alignment, or inspection location must be identified. Supporting schematics and diagrams shall also be included.
Supporting wiring/cabling diagrams or wire run lists shall also be included or provided in separate WPs (refer to 5.3.12 and 5.3.13). a. Maintenance work packages shall include all authorized maintenance tasks. Tasks shall consist of complete start-to-finish maintenance procedures in a logical order of work sequence. Maintenance tasks are described in 5.3.1.1. b. Normally a repairable assembly requires complete coverage in a separate WP. However, when testing and troubleshooting and additional tools and test equipment or materials are not required, coverage may be included within the WP for the next higher assembly.
When coverage for the repairable assembly is co-located with the next higher assembly, procedures for the repairable assembly should stand alone. c.
