Several jobcards have a note on page one stating 'ALL PART NUMBERS (P/N) LISTED ARE TYPICAL PART NUMBERS (P/N'S) AND MAY NOT BE CURRENT. REFERENCE THE ILLUSTRATED PARTS CATALOG (IPC) FOR CURRENT PART'. I feel that this statement is a disclaimer by the [Powerplant] Engineering Department to relieve themselves of their responsibility; as stated in the General Manual (G/M) 12-20-10 to maintain the accuracy of the Job Instruction Card (JIC).
A Turbine Shop Mechanic reports several jobcards have disclaimers that he feels relieves the responsibility to maintain accurate jobcards.
