Defining ETOP twin position rule for aircraft configuration

This page allows you to update the ETOP twin position code details for the aircraft configuration. Tell me more

Select the “Edit ETOP Twin Positions” link at the bottom of the “Edit Position Attributes” page.

The “Edit ETOP Twin Positions ” page appears.

The system displays the following fields in the “Aircraft Configuration Details” group box:

Aircraft Reg #	The aircraft registration number selected in the main page.
Aircraft Model #	The model to which the aircraft is associated.
Revision #	The revision number of the aircraft configuration.
Configuration Class	The configuration class to which the aircraft model is associated.
Level Code	The level number of the reference position code and its associated part number.
Ref. Position Code	The reference position code, for which the twin position code must be entered.
Reference Part #	The part associated to the reference position code.

Note: The system lists the ETOP twin position codes that are already defined for the reference position code and the reference part number, in the multiline:

Enter the following fields in the “Twin Positions” multiline, if you wish to add twin position codes:

Twin Position Code	The position code that is parallel to the reference position code displayed in the “Ref. Position Code” field (Alphanumeric, 25). Mandatory. Ensure that the position code is already associated to the aircraft configuration and is in “Active” status.
Part #	The part associated to the position code entered in the “Twin Position Code” field (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory. The part number should have already been associated to the reference position code in the aircraft configuration.
	Help facility available.

The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit ETOP Twin Positions” pushbutton:

Level Code

The level at which the twin position code and part number occurs in the aircraft configuration hierarchy.

Note: Ensure that at least one position code is entered in the multiline. Also, the part number should be unique within the multiline.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline if you wish to mark the twin position code for deletion.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the twin position codes selected in the multiline.
Click the “Edit ETOP Twin Positions” pushbutton to update the twin position code details.

Note: If the twin position code identified here occurs once or occurs in more than one level in the aircraft configuration, the system displays the position code details along with the level number. You can also delete the level, for which you do not wish to include the position code has the twin position code for the reference position code.

Defining ETOP twin position rule for aircraft configuration – An overview

ETOP twin position codes are the position codes that are parallel to a reference position code. This rule restricts any maintenance activity being carried out simultaneously in the reference position code and the twin position code. This is required to govern the reliability of aircraft while performing ETOP.

In this page, you can enter the twin position code and the part number, for the reference position code and reference part number selected in the “Edit Position Attributes” page. The twin position code and the part number must have already been associated to the selected aircraft configuration.

The system updates the twin position code details and stores the name of the currently logged in user and the current server date. If the twin position code occurs in more than one level in the aircraft configuration, the system displays the position code details along with the level number. You can also delete the level in which the position code appears if you do not want to include the position code as the twin position code for the reference position code.
