that makes
sense
. What are
the
other
changes
?
The new TM
s
still have
chapters, but there are
no sections
.
In the table of contents, you will see
chapter numbers
followed by work
package
sequence numbers
.
I have a
question.
What
happened to the
appendixes
?
Those numbers represent planning for the
future
. Suppose a new work package is
needed. Let's say it's needed in sequence
between WP 0001 and WP 0002. By using
those middle two numbers, the number
on the new work package would be
0001 01. The first page of a WP
that has found a home between
WP 0001 and WP 0002 would
be 0001 01-1.
The information
once contained in
the appendixes is
now in the last
chapter, called
Supporting
Information
.
Each type of
appendix is now a
work package within
the
supporting
information
chapter
.
Do we still
make changes the
same way
?
No, not
exactly. You’ll
still receive a
change package
,
but when a work
package has
changes, you’ll
get a
whole new
one
. Just pull the
old WP out and
put the new
one in.
Wow, that's
great. Our pubs clerk
will
love it
.
the new style
TM sounds pretty
good, but what
about the TM
s
on
CD-ROM
?
I thought
we were going
to a
paperless
world
?
The CD-rom
will have the
same
new
format. You can read them on
a
laptop
or
print out
the work
package you need. When a
revision comes out, you’ll
get a
new CD-rom
.
But in some situations,
CD-rom
s
still aren't
practical
-
-mainly for
operator manuals. In those cases, these new
work package TM
s
on paper will do the trick.

I get it.
But what about
the
two numbers
in the
middle
?
