Which publication is used for performing a turnaround on the aircraft?

The publication that is used for performing a turnaround on the aircraft is the F/A-18 Turnaround Manual. This manual provides detailed procedures, checklists, and guidelines specifically tailored for the turnaround operations on the F/A-18 aircraft. It includes essential information that ensures all systems of the aircraft are thoroughly checked and operational before the aircraft is sent out again, ensuring both safety and efficiency.

The other publications mentioned serve different purposes. The A1-F18-(AC)A/B(AE)C/D(EA)E/F-MRC-100 is primarily focused on maintenance, inspection, and repair aspects rather than the specific operational procedures required for a turnaround. NAP-100 might cover broader naval aviation practices but does not focus exclusively on turnaround procedures. The Standard Operating Procedures Manual generally provides guidelines for various operational topics, which may include turnaround procedures but lacks the specificity and detail provided by the F/A-18 Turnaround Manual.
