Document Control & Numbering
Controlled-document register and numbering scheme for the Rocket Fast Drones flight-operations documentation set. All documents are version-controlled in the company git repository and this wiki.
Numbering scheme
Section titled “Numbering scheme”RFD-<TYPE>-<NNN>
- RFD — Rocket Fast Drones Pty Ltd (ABN 78 699 460 270).
- TYPE — document class:
| Code | Class |
|---|---|
| OM | Operations Manual |
| TM | Training Manual |
| QRH | Quick-Reference Handbook / checklist card |
| TR | Technical Reference / configuration note |
| FTL | Flight-Test Log |
| SB | Service Bulletin (fleet airworthiness notice) |
- NNN — three-digit sequential number within the class (001, 002, …).
Each controlled document carries: its number, a version (vMAJOR.MINOR), an owner/approver,
a status, and an in-document revision log. Individual wiki pages are chapters of a
controlled document — the document number and version apply to the manual as a whole.
Version & status conventions
Section titled “Version & status conventions”- Version
vMAJOR.MINOR— MINOR increments on content edits; MAJOR increments on release / major restructure. Draft manuals sit atv0.xuntil first release atv1.0. - Status —
DRAFT(under construction, not for operational use) →RELEASED(approved for use) →SUPERSEDED(replaced; retained for history). - Every page footer states UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED — the controlled version is the one in the RFD document system / this wiki.
Change control
Section titled “Change control”The Owner/Approver (below) approves all changes and status transitions. Substantive edits are
made on the git develop branch, recorded in the document’s revision log, and take effect on the
next wiki sync.

SBs are issued by email to registered owners and recorded here. Compliance with a mandatory SB is a condition of continued airworthiness support. On receiving an SB: confirm whether your serial numbers are affected, comply within the stated deadline, and record the action in your maintenance log.
| SB number | Date | Affected aircraft / serials | Subject & required action | Compliance deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
