What type of information is NOT typically found in an IPB?

The correct answer is operating procedures, as these are not typically included in an Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB). An IPB is primarily a document used in the field of aviation maintenance that provides detailed information about the parts of a system, such as their part numbers, nomenclature (descriptions or names), and the quantities required for assembly or replacement.

The primary purpose of an IPB is to support maintenance and repair by detailing the individual components and facilitating the ordering of parts. This includes the part numbers, which are essential for identification and procurement, and nomenclature, which offers clarification on what each part is and its function. Additionally, the quantity section indicates how many of each part are needed for a specific assembly or repair task.

However, operating procedures focus on the steps and methods needed to perform tasks or use equipment safely and effectively. These procedures are typically found in separate documents, such as maintenance manuals or technical publications, rather than in the IPB itself. Thus, while an IPB is invaluable for ensuring correct parts usage, it does not encompass the procedural aspects of working with those parts.
