Creating FCD – An overview

Create FCD - A summary of the activity

This page enables you to create the Fleet Campaign Directive (FCD), to communicate a minor engineering change that does not involve configuration changes, or revisions to approved tasks. A unique number identifies the fleet campaign directive (FCD). Based on the option settings, the system either generates the FCD number automatically, or enables you to enter it manually. To generate the number automatically, you must specify the numbering type in this page.

You can specify the category to which the FCD belongs, user status, description and the ATA chapter to indicate the system on which the FCD has to be performed.

The reference document details such as the Modification Committee Meeting number, date on which the MCM was convened, Maintenance Change Request (MCR) number, revision number of the MCR and the source document type can be specified.

You can specify whether the FCD is applicable for the aircraft, component or engine. You can assign a priority for the FCR and enter the background details and reason for generating the FCD.

The execution details of the FCD, such as the work center in which the FCD must be performed, estimated time and man-hours required for the execution of the FCD, must also be defined.
