Description / Abstract:
These recommendations apply to the user's manual for any computer
program pertaining to aircraft
ECS. This includes computer programs for:
a. Cabin air conditioning and pressurization performance.
b. Avionics equipment cooling system performance.
c. Engine bleed air system performance.
d. Compartment and equipment thermal analysis.
e. Environmental protection system performance.
These recommendations apply to user's manuals for generalized computer
programs as well as those
for a specific component or system.
The user's manual is a document which defines all procedures necessary
for a user to initiate and
utilize the program and obtain output data. The user's manual does not
normally contain procedures
or information required solely for modifying the program. Such
procedures or information are
contained in a programming or operator's manual; however, they may be
contained in supplemental
documentation to the user's manual.
These recommendations apply to computer programs which will be
voluntarily released to users or are
required to be released by contract. It is the intent of this
recommend practice that proprietary
data not be included in the user's manual.
