TO 00-5-15, TECHNICAL MANUAL: AIR FORCE TIME COMPLIANCE TECHNICAL ORDER (TCTO) PROCESS (14-MAY-2014)

TO 00-5-15, TECHNICAL MANUAL: AIR FORCE TIME COMPLIANCE TECHNICAL ORDER (TCTO) PROCESS (14-MAY-2014)., This publication supersedes TO 00-5-15, dated 1 January 2010. Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO) provide instructions to modify military systems or commodities within specified time limits, initiate special “one time” inspections to impose temporary restrictions and track support system and equipment configuration on systems or equipment. TCTOs for fielded systems and equipment are planned, prepared and issued by the responsible Equipment Specialist/Technical Content Manager (ES/TCM) (or Modification Manager) under the authority of the affected system/equipment Program Manager/Supply Chain Manager (PM/SCM). The Technical Order (TO) Manager is responsible for assisting an ES/TCM or Modification Manager with the development and publication of TCTOs and related TO Updates. This publication is a major revision of the TCTO process. The intent of this revision is to provide updated information achieved through Technical Content Manager (TCM) generated changes, changes from the TO 00-5-15 TCTO Working Group comprised of Equipment Specialists (ES), and Technical Order Management recommended changes received from technicians at the Major Commands (MAJCOM) via the AFTO Form 22 process. This TO prescribes instructions and procedures for the Air Force TCTO process (see Figure 3-3 TCTO Development Process Flow Diagram, and Figure 3-8, TCTO Implementation Process Flow Diagram).
