About this file

This is Chapter 7 (Components) from Technical Order 14S1-3-51, which provides specifications and requirements for survival equipment components and inspection procedures. The chapter outlines mandatory minimum components for survival vests/parachute spacer kits and details three types of required inspections: special inspections (performed when conditions warrant), preflight/screening inspections (for newly received equipment), and periodic inspections.

The document specifies that items prone to spillage/melting must be placed in polyethylene interlocking bags, and units may locally purchase the highest available SPF sun protection products if required levels are unavailable. It requires MAJCOM approval in writing for components not listed in the minimum component tables. The beginning of a components table is shown, listing required radio equipment including the AN/PRQ-7A with Battery (NSN 5825-01-590-7641) and Beacon Distress SKED or PRC-648 with Battery. This technical order appears to be the governing document referenced in solicitation FA483025Q0009 for Life Raft Survival Desalinators.

CHAPTER 7

COMPONENTS

7.1 GENERAL.

Items listed in the minimum component tables will be installed. All other components listed within Chapter 7 series tables are considered optional and may be selected regardless of end item. Units must consider factors such as size, weight, and egress when making selection of optional components. All other components must be approved by applicable Major Command (MAJCOM) in writing (i.e. organizational email/organizational distribution list).

NOTE

• Any item prone to spillage/melting will be placed in polyethylene interlocking bags or suitable substitute.

• Lead MAJCOM will ensure approved technical guidance is available to support mission requirements and vest/kit configurations not included in this publication. Designated aircraft program offices will determine baseline equipment requirements for their Mission Design Series (MDS).

• Organizations preparing for deployment or contingency operations should consult their owning MAJCOM and/or applicable Area of Responsibility representative for additional Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) requirements.

7.2 INSPECTION.

NOTE

Units may local purchase the highest available Sun Protection Factor (SPF) sun ointment/lipstick for use in survival kits, if the required SPF level is not available.

All components will be subject to the following type inspections.

7.2.1 Special Inspection. A special inspection will be performed on equipment in service or in storage whenever conditions warrant. The inspector or supervisor will determine the extent of the special inspection. If conditions warrant, the inspector or supervisor shall direct a complete inspection of the equipment regardless of last inspection date.

7.2.2 Preflight/Screening Inspection. All equipment received from supply will have a screening inspection prior to use/installation. The preflight/screening inspection will consist of a visual inspection of equipment for obvious defects that may cause malfunctions.

7.2.3 Periodic Inspection. Periodic inspections of components will be accomplished in accordance with Paragraph 2.6.

NOTE

If component inspection requirements are not identified, AFE technicians will inspect the general condition of the item to ensure serviceability. General condition includes, but is not limited to: dents, cracks, leaks, corrosion, loose or missing screws, and any other visible signs of wear that could adversely affect the items intended operation.
