This page allows to view the details of the selected aircraft configuration. Tell me more

Select the “View Aircraft Configuration” link in the “Select Aircraft” page. Alternatively, select the hyperlinked aircraft registration number in the same page.

The “View Aircraft Configuration” page appears.

The system displays the configuration details of the aircraft in the “Aircraft Configuration” group box. Details such as "Position Code", "Part #", "Part Description", "Part Serial #" and "Component ID" are displayed in the form of the tree structure with ‘Aircraft Reg #’ as a parent level node. If a component exists for a position code, and if a Piece Part is defined for that position code level in the configuration, the system displays the first level position code along with a folder for Piece Part #. The tree display format is as shown below:

- Aircraft Reg # || Model #

- Position Code II Part # II Part Description II Serial # II Component #

- Piece Parts

Part # II Part Description II Quantity

- Piece Parts

Part # II Part Description II Quantity

Note: In the tree structure above, the system displays “Mfr. Part # - Mfr. #” combination, if the parameter “Enable Manufacturer Part # control in transaction” under the Category ‘Manufacturer Part #’ is set as “Yes” in the “Set Inventory Process Parameters” activity of the “Logistics Common Master” business component. If the parameter is set as “No”, the system displays “Part #”.

Display the record in 'Dark Green' color, if the position code is attached.
Display the record in 'Red' color, if the position code is empty and 'Component Mandatory' is 'Yes'.
Display the record in 'Black', if the position code is empty and 'Component Mandatory' is 'No'.
Display the record in ‘Italics’, if the position code is ‘Inactive’.

Color Identifiers for Piece Parts:

Display the record in 'Dark Green' color, if the Piece Part quantity is greater than '0'.

Viewing aircraft configuration information – An overview

You can view the details of the selected aircraft configuration in this page. The system displays the aircraft registration number, model to which the aircraft belongs, configuration class associated to the aircraft, status and revision number of the aircraft configuration.

For viewing the position code details, you can carry out a search based on the position code, part number, the parent part number, ATA chapter to which the position code is associated or the level code. Details such as the position code, part number fitted to the position code, position code status and its type are displayed. The level at which the part number and the position code occur in the aircraft configuration hierarchy is also displayed in the multiline. Figure 1 illustrates the method in which the level codes are generated in the aircraft configuration hierarchy.

The system indicates whether the part number can be used in a cargo aircraft and whether the part can be used in the aircraft that can fly in the reduced vertical separation minimum limit (RVSM). The zone and the position formula number where the position code physically exists, and the ATA chapter number that denotes the system to which the position code belongs, is also displayed.

You can also view the document that contains the drawing related to the part.
