Chapter 1 — AEROGRAPHER'S MATE RATING 



parts, principles of operation, system interrela- 

 tions, numerical values considered necessary 

 to operation and maintenance, and safety pre- 

 cautions. 



The Watchstation (300 Series) section in- 

 cludes questions regarding the procedures the 

 individual must know to operate and maintain 

 the equipment or system. A study of the items 

 in the 200 series section provides the individual 

 with the required information concerning what 

 the system or equipment does, how it does it, 

 and other pertinent aspects of operation. In the 

 300 series section, the questions advance the 

 qualification process by requiring answers or 

 demonstrations of ability to put this knowledge 

 to use or to cope with maintenance of the sys- 

 tem or equipment. Areas covered include nor- 

 mal operation; abnormal or emergency operation; 

 emergency procedures which could limit damage 

 and/or casualties associated with a particular 

 operation; operations that occur too infrequently 

 to be considered mandatory performance items; 

 and maintenance procedures/instructions such as 

 checks, tests, repair, replacement, etc. 



The 400 Series section consists of the quali- 

 fication cards. These cards are the accounting 

 documents utilized to record the individual's 

 satisfactory completion of items necessary for 

 becoming qualified in duties assigned. Where the 

 individual starts in completing a standard will 

 depend on his assignment within an activity. The 

 complete PQS should be given to the individual 

 being qualified so that he can utilize it at every 

 opportunity to become fully qualified in all 

 areas of his rating and the equipment or system 

 for which the PQS was written. Upon transfer 

 to a different activity, each individual must 

 requalify. The answers to the questions asked 

 in the qualification standards may be given 

 orally or in writing to the supervisor, the 

 branch or division officer, and maintenance 

 officer as required to certify proper qualifica- 

 tion. The completion of part or all of the PQS 

 provides a basis for the supervising petty 

 officer and officer to certify completion of 

 the PQS section of the PAR (if applicable). 



Bibliography for Advancement Study 



The Bibliography for Advancement Study, 

 NAVEDTRA 10052 (Series), is a very important 

 publication for anyone preparing for advance- 

 ment. This bibliography lists required and rec- 

 ommended Rate Training Manuals and other 



reference material to be used by personnel 

 working for advancement. NAVEDTRA 10052 

 is revised and issued once each year by the 

 Naval Education and Training Support Command. 

 Each revised edition is identified by a letter 

 following the NAVEDTRA number. When using 

 this publication, be sure that you have the most 

 recent edition. 



If extensive changes in qualifications occur 

 between the annual revisions of NAVEDTRA 

 10052, a supplementary list of study material 

 may be issued in the form of a BUPERS Notice. 

 When you are preparing for advancement, check 

 with your Educational Services Officer or your 

 Training Petty Officer to see whether changes 

 have been made in the qualifications. If changes 

 have been made, see if a BUPERS Notice has 

 been issued to supplement NAVEDTRA 10052. 



The required and recommended references 

 are listed by rate level in NAVEDTRA 10052. If 

 you are working for advancement to third class, 

 study the material that is listed for third class. 

 If you are working for advancement to second 

 class, study the material that is listed for sec- 

 ond class, and remember that you will also be 

 examined on the references listed at the third 

 class level. 



NOTE: Personnel preparing for advancement 

 will be examined on the TOTAL BIBLIOGRAPHY. 

 Publications listed for a given paygrade fre- 

 quently make specific reference to other publi- 

 cations. These specific referrals are part of 

 the TOTAL BIBLIOGRAPHY. Emphasis must 

 be placed on the military/technical TOTAL 

 BIBLIOGRAPHY for each paygrade; examina- 

 tions are based on it. 



In using NAVEDTRA 10052, you will notice 

 that some Rate Training Manuals are marked 

 with an asterisk (*). Any manual marked in 

 this way is MANDATORY — that is, it must be 

 completed at the indicated rate level before 

 you are eligible to take the Navy-wide exami- 

 nation for advancement. Each mandatory man- 

 ual may be completed by passing the appropriate 

 Nonresident Career Course that is based on the 

 mandatory training manual; passing locally pre- 

 pared tests based on the information given in 

 the training manual; or in some cases, success- 

 fully completing an appropriate Class A School. 



Do not overlook the front section of 

 NAVEDTRA 10052 which lists the required and
