Discrepancies are reported by the pilot or the cabin crew in the Journey log. The mechanic reports discrepancies in the Hangar work order or component work order. In the technical log, you can identify resolution procedures or create an engineering service request to identity the resolution procedures.

Defer MR

The maintenance report can be resolved by specifying the work units for rectifying the discrepancy. The maintenance report can also be deferred or carried forward in case of non-availability of spares, non-equipped maintenance station, or to avoid delay.

• Select the “Edit Deferral Report” link, to add discrepancies to the maintenance report and record time-based and usage-based deferral details for the reported discrepancies.

• Select the “Revise Deferral Limits” link in the “Edit Technical Log” page, to modify the deferral limits for discrepancies that are already deferred.

Report various actuals for the maintenance report

You can report the various actuals such as the employee, resource, part consumption and component replacement details for a maintenance report.

• Select a maintenane report in the muliline of the “Edit Technical Log” page.

• To update resource actuals, select the “Report Resource Consumptions” link.

• To update parts consumption and to view part details, select the “Report Spare Part Consumptions” link.
