      (c) FST/LMTC/manufacturer responses for 1 year or until final FST/LMTC/manufacturer response (closing action) is received, whichever is greater
      (d) Follow-up NAMDRP messages/correspondence. Not required if web site technical dialog
      correspondence is used.
      (e) RCN log.
      (f) Applicable references or cross reference locator sheets.
      (5) Keep a log to ensure NAMDRP reports, including EMRs, are assigned unique RCNs.
      (6) Initiate follow-up action when replies have not been received within prescribed time frames per paragraph 10.4d. Include RCN in all follow-up messages.

      (Figure 2-5) in the individual's qualification/certification record.
      (2) When required, draft reports and submit to QA.
    • page 10-3
    • What is an HMR?
    • HMRs provide a standard method for reporting material deficiencies which, if not corrected, could result in death or injury to personnel, or damage to or loss of aircraft, equipment, or facilities. Such incidents are reported regardless of how or when the discrepant condition was detected.
    • page 10-6
    • Reports meeting the criteria for HMRs and warranting EI requests should be transmitted how?
    • Reports meeting the criteria for HMRs and warranting EI requests should be transmitted as dual message reports, for example, HMR/EI request.
    • page 10-6
    • Give examples warranting an HMR.
    • (1) Malfunction or failure of a component part which, if not corrected, could result in death or injury to personnel, or damage to or loss of aircraft, equipment, or facilities. Submitting naval aircraft mishap reports required by OPNAVINST 3750.6 does not negate the requirements for submitting reports required by this instruction.
      (2) Configuration deficiency (when discovered) which constitutes a safety hazard in aeronautical equipment (aircraft, SE, or components).
      (3) Urgent action or assistance is required and corrective action must be completed at an early date because of operational requirement.
      (4) Detection of a design that would allow incorrect installation of parts resulting in possible system malfunction or failure.
      (5) In-flight or ground loss of aircraft parts in which maintenance or material factors are involved. TFOA is used when referring to such incidents. TFOA includes incidents generally categorized in other areas, such as a FODed engine which sheds parts or a helicopter rotor blade pocket failure.
    • page 10-7
    • What factors requires you to submit an EI?
    • b. Submit EI requests under any of the following when:
      (1) Safety is involved. This includes EI requests prepared in conjunction with aircraft mishaps and HMRs when unsafe conditions exist.
      (2) Additional technical or engineering information is required to complete an aircraft mishap investigation.
      (3) Aircraft readiness is seriously impaired due to poor material reliability (including SE).
      (4) A component is rejected through NOAP after all authorized repairs are attempted.
      (5) Environmental issues force material or process changes conflicting with existing publications or
      TDs.
      (6) Directed by higher authority.
    • page 10-7 and 10-8
    • What factors requires you to submit a PQDR?
    • PQDRs are used to report deficiencies in new or newly reworked material which may indicate
      nonconformance with contractual or specification requirements or substandard workmanship. Failures must
      have occurred at zero operating time, during initial installation, operation, test, check, turn-up, or first flight.
      Discrepancies discovered after initial use do not qualify for PQDR reporting and shall be reported as EIs or
      HMRs (as appropriate). PQDRs are targeted toward reporting possible deficiencies in QA during the
      manufacturing or rework process. The goal is to improve the quality of work done by NAVAIRDEPOTSs,
      contractors, and subcontractors. SECNAVINST 4855.3 and SECNAVINST 4855.5 provide overall Navy
      PQDR policy.
    • page 10-8
    • What factors requires you to submit a CAT I PQDR?
    • CAT I PQDRs are used for all quality deficiencies which may cause death, injury, or severe
      occupational illness; would cause loss of or major damage to a weapons system; critically restricts the
      combat readiness capabilities of the using organization; or would result in a production line stoppage.
    • page 10-8
    • what is the alotted time given to submit a CAT I PQDR after discovery of the deficiency?
    • CAT I PQDRs shall be submitted by routine precedence message, via the NAMDRP web site,
      within 1 working day after discovery of the deficiency.
    • page 10-8
    • True or False.
      PQDRs may be reported by telephone or in person
    • True
      PQDRs may be reported by telephone or in person when urgency dictates. Oral communication shall be confirmed by message
    • page 10-9
    • True or False
      You may combine CAT I PQDRS and EI's
    • False
      Do not combine CAT I PQDRs with EIs.
    • page 10-9
    • When do you submit a CAT II PQDR?
    • CAT II PQDRs are used for quality deficiencies assessed to have significant and widespread material or human resource impact but do not affect safety of personnel or impair combat efficiency
    • page 10-9
    • What is an ADR?
    • The ADR identifies/documents in newly manufactured, modified, or reworked aircraft, including aircraft that have completed PMI, to ensure better quality maintenance and rework procedures
    • page 10-9
    • How ADRs categorized?
    • Discrepancies are categorized as critical, major, or minor.
      (1) Critical defects constitute hazardous or unsafe conditions, or as determined by experience and judgment could conceivably become so, thus making the aircraft unsafe for flight or endangering operating personnel.
      (2) Major defects could result in failure or materially reduce usability of the unit for its intended purpose.
      (3) Minor defects are not likely to materially reduce usability of the unit or product for its intended purpose, or depart from established standards
    • page 10-10
    • What is a TPDR?
    • TPDRs provide a simplified procedure for reporting technical publication safety hazards and routine deficiencies found in COMNAVAIRSYSCOM technical publications. They are not used for reporting deficiencies in instructions or notices.
      b. Technical publications include MRCs, checklists, WUC manuals, shop process cards, MIMs, weapons or stores loading manuals, conventional or nuclear weapon checklists, stores reliability cards, IPBs, TDs, and technical manuals.
    • page 10-13
    • What factors requires you to submit a CAT I TPDR?
    • A CAT I TPDR message (Figure 10-5) is required when a technical publication deficiency is detected which, if not corrected, could result in death or injury or damage to or loss of aircraft, equipment, or facilities.
    • page 10-13
    • How long do you have to Submit a CAT I TPDR?
    • CAT I TPDR priority message shall be submitted within 24 hours of discovery of a deficiency
    • page 10-13
    • Waht factors requires you to submit a CAT II TPDR?
    • CAT II publication deficiencies include technical errors, wrong measurement values, incorrect use of SE, wrong sequence of adjustments, part number errors or omissions, etc. NATEC (Code 3.3.5) has created a TPDR data base within TMAPS on the NATEC web site (https://www.natec.navy.mil/). Digital TPDRs allow for quick response and resolution, as well as specific FST/LMTC POC information for each publication. As much as possible, CAT II TPDRs shall be entered directly into the NATEC web site. Status of TPDRs can be checked in the TPDR database and the originator receives an email each time the FST/LMTC changes the status of the TPDR (if originator provides email address during submission). If web site entry is not possible, submit TPDRs (Figures 10-6 and 10-7) via email to nani_tpdr@navy.mil
