TO THE USER
Section A, Part I contains a comprehensive index of the entire AAR Manual of Standards and Recommended Practices, Sections A through S. This index is arranged in three sections:
A numerical list of all M specifications, RP recommended practices, and S standards.
An alphabetical list by subject.
A list organized by the MSRP section
EFFECTIVE 08/10/07
Each list shows the standard, recommended practice, or specification number, the subject, and the
section of the Manual of Standards and Recommended Practices in which that document is located.
In addition, all Circular Letters that affect a document since its most recent publication are also
identified.
Note: Each individual section of the Manual of Standards and Recommended Practices also includes a table of contents for that particular section.
HOW TO USE THIS INDEX

This index of the Manual of Standards and Recommended Practices contains each of the file indices
from the individual sections (A-II through S). You can search this index in one of three ways:
1. Locate a document by its number using the Numeric Index on page A-I1.
2. Locate a document by its title using the Alphabetic Index on page A-I21.
3. Locate a document by searching a particular section in the Section Index on page A-I41.
The right-hand column of each index contains the word Check if a document is affected by a Circular Letter that was issued subsequent to the release of the manual containing the document. You
may click the link (if viewing the PDF) or go to the section entitled Current Circular Letters to
view a list of Circular Letters issued for each affected document.
DISCLAIMER
The Current Circular Letters section lists the Circular Letters that have been issued subsequent to the release of the MSRP
specifications, standards, and recommended practices shown in MSRP-A1. This list is intended to improve accessability to
the users. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that individual MSRP sections reflect interim revisions inplemented via
Circular Letter. This list of Circular Letters is current as of the date printed in the margin. Any changes issued via AAR
Circular Letter after that date will not be included.
