CEA Fundamentals Block 2

Standard Publications

Issued by order of the Secretary of the Air Force, Chief of staff USAF, commanders, and staff officials at all levels to announce policies, assign responsibilities. prescribe procedures, direct actions and provide information for Air Force personnel.

- Two types: Directive and Non-Directive

Directive Publications

orders from the secretary of the Air Force and other command levels that are necessary to meet the requirements of law, safety, security, and otherwise where common direction and standardization benefit the Air Force

Ex: AFI, AFPD, AFMAN, OI, AFS

Non-Directive Publications

Suggest guidance that can be modified to fit the circumstances

Ex: Pamphlets and Bulletins

What are 3 sections in Standard Publications?

Cover Page

Body

Attachments

Changes

In aviation changes are inevitable and as an aircrew member it is your responsibility to ensure your Publications are correct

Aircraft and equipment are frequently updated and procedures refined to ensure safety and continued.

Supplements

Adds information to a basic publication and corrects publication errors, clarifies, and supersedes or changes requirements and procedures of the basic publication.

*AFPD CANNOT be supplemented

Posting Supplements

Always file supplements numerical sequence in descending order.

Posting changes and supplements correctly and timely is the responsibility of each aircrew member.

Air Force Technical Order

TO's cover aircraft specific information such as systems operations, limitations, amplified and abbreviated checklist procedures, and performance data.

Also show the proper steps to follow during emergency and troubleshooting aircraft problems.

Types of TOs

AFTOs are broken down in 2 different types: Time Compliance TO (TCTO), Abbreviated TO's.

TCTO

Are the authorized method of directing and providing instructions for modifying equipment and preforming initial one-time inspection. There are 3 types: Immediate action (serious death), urgent action (hazardous condition), and routine action (tech deficiencies).

Abbreviated TO

These are primarily work simplification devices.

checklist (CL) Provides "abbreviated" systemic step by step procedures for the operation/maintenance of systems and equipment.

What is the structure of TO's?

Flight Publications Improvement Program

The purpose of this program is to identify problems and improve the quality of aircrew publications

Air Force Doctrine

is a statement of officially sanctioned beliefs, warfare principles, and terminology that describes and guides the proper use of air, space, and cyberspace power in military operations.

AFDP 1

Air Force Doctrine Publication 1

is the USAF's foundational doctrine publication and outlines elemental properties of air power and provides the airmen perspective.

Why we fight? (Our foundational purpose)

Who we are? (Our values)

What we do? (Airpower)

How we do it? (Tenants of Airpower)

Mission Command

Effective and efficient means of deploying airpower

Flexibility and Versatility

What tenet of airpower allows airpower to exploit mass and maneuver simultaneously?

Synergistic Effects

What tenant of airpower is the coordinated application of military power to pressure adversaries?

Persistence

What tenant of airpower denies adversaries the opportunity to seize?

concentration

What tenant of airpower focuses on the overwhelming power at a decisive time and place and is imperative to war?

Priority

The application of airpower is balanced against its ability to conduct simultaneous operations at all levels.

Balance

Air Commander balances Joint Operations and tenants of air power
