We deliver operation, maintenance and parts manuals for subway and light rail vehicles, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, refueling stations, battlefield hospitals, chemical detection systems, asphalt plants, aviation life support equipment and a wide range of other complex systems.

Operation & Operator Manuals

Clear guidance for safely operating equipment and systems

Maintenance & Repair Manuals

Step-by-step procedures for troubleshooting, preventive maintenance and repairs

Parts Manuals & Illustrated Parts Catalogs

S1000D-Compliant Publications

Our process starts with raw engineering data, drawings, schematics, bills of materials, and close collaboration with your subject matter experts to ensure every manual is accurate, complete and operationally ready.

Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals

IETMs

Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) replace static PDFs with searchable, connected content. Users can move seamlessly between procedures, illustrations, schematics, and parts data—all in one place, on any device. Built to support large, S1000D-compliant data sets, our IETMs reduce training time, cut errors, and keep technicians focused on the task instead of the manual.

IETM procedure view with linked steps, figures, and parts callouts — Procedures stay connected to figures, callouts, tools, and parts.

Search results inside an IETM on a tablet — Find the right procedure fast—across the full manual set.

The problems IETMs solve

Time lost searching: critical info spread across large PDFs, volumes, and appendices
Broken workflow: jumping between procedure, figure, parts list, and warnings kills momentum
Revision confusion: outdated pages, mismatched volumes, and “which file is current?”
Higher error rates: missing context and unclear visuals lead to incorrect steps and rework
Slow onboarding: new techs take longer without guided navigation and linked references

What D&R delivers

Searchable, browser-based IETMs designed for speed and clarity
Hot-linked references across procedures, figures, tools, parts, and warnings
Illustrations and callouts that make procedures easier to execute correctly
Structured content support for S1000D / XML deliverables when required
Change tracking to keep updates controlled and traceable
