This page allows you to create fault codes for standard faults that occur during aircraft operation. Tell me more.
Select the hyperlinked ATA # in the multiline of the “Select ATA Chapter” page.
The “Create Fault Code” page appears.
The system displays the following in the “ATA Details” group box:
|
ATA # |
The ATA chapter, which is selected in the “Select ATA Chapter” page. The fault code created is grouped under this ATA chapter. |
|
Chapter Description |
The textual description of the selected ATA chapter. Zoom facility available. |
Enter the following in the “ATA Details” group box:
|
Fault Code Type |
Use the drop-down list box to classify the fault code based on its origin. The system provides the options “OEM” and “Airline”. Select “OEM”, if the fault is already described in the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) fault isolation manual. Select “Airline”, if a fault description does not have a corresponding fault code. The system sets the field to “OEM” by default. |
|
Base Aircraft Model # |
Use the drop-down list box to specify the aircraft model for which the fault code is applicable. The system displays a list of all the aircraft models defined in the “Aircraft” business component that are in “Active” status. |
Note: The Base Aircraft Model will be regarded as the Primary aircraft model for the fault code.
Enter the following in the “Fault Details" multiline:
|
Fault # |
The unique code to identify the fault (Alphanumeric, 25). Mandatory. |
|
Fault Description |
The textual description of the fault (Alphanumeric, 80). Mandatory. |
|
Fault Particulars |
Any additional remarks pertaining to the fault (Alphanumeric, 2000). For example, the possible causes and the maintenance tasks performed to rectify the fault may be entered here. |
|
Fault Category |
Use the drop-down list box to classify the fault as “Cabin” or “Observed”. |
|
Cabin faults are faults that do not affect the airworthiness of an aircraft. Observed faults are faults that affect the airworthiness of an aircraft and are therefore of primary concern. | |
|
Key Word |
The unique key word to identify the fault code (Alphanumeric, 25). Mandatory. |
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to mark the fault codes to create model effectivity or cause code or to delete the fault codes.
Click the “Delete” icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the selected fault code.
Click the “Create Fault Codes” pushbutton to create the fault codes selected in the multiline.
The system creates the fault codes under the selected ATA chapter. The system sets the status as “Active”, if the fault code type is “OEM” and the status as “Fresh”, if the fault code type is “Airline”.
To proceed, carry out the following
Select the “Edit Model Effectivity” link to specify the aircraft models where the selected fault code can be applied.
Select the “Edit Cause Code” link to create cause codes for the selected fault code.
Creating fault codes – An overview
This page allows you to create fault codes for standard faults that occur during aircraft operation. You can create a fault code by assigning a unique code and specifying a description and a key word for the fault code. The system creates the fault codes under the ATA chapter selected in the previous page.
You can classify the created fault codes into two types as “Observed’ and “Cabin”. Observed faults are those, which affect the airworthiness of an aircraft. “Cabin” faults are those, which do not affect the airworthiness of an aircraft. You can also categorize the fault codes as “OEM” and “Airline”. Faults, which are defined by the original equipment manufacturer, are categorized as “OEM” faults and faults, which are defined by the airline, are categorized as “Airline” faults. Airline faults are further differentiated from the OEM faults using a different numbering system.

Faults, based on its origin, can be classified as “OEM” or “Airline”. Classify the fault code as “OEM”, if the fault is already described in the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) fault isolation manual. Classify the fault code as “Airline”, if a mechanic or pilot identifies the fault.
Set the “Fault Code Type” field to “OEM” to create a fault code of the “OEM” type.
Set the “Fault Code Type” field to “Airline” to create a fault code of the “Airline” type.
Create fault codes of different category
Faults, based on whether they affect the airworthiness of an aircraft or not, can be categorized as “Cabin” and “Observed” faults.
Set the “Fault Category” field to “Observed” to create a fault code of the “Observed” category.
Set the “Fault Category” field to “Cabin” to create a fault code of the “Cabin” category.
