Enter the following filter criteria to search for an aircraft. Data entry in the following fields is optional:

Aircraft Reg #	The registration number of the aircraft (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the registration number in full or specify it partially using the “” character. The system retrieves all aircraft with registration numbers similar to the number entered here. Alternately, you can also enter Nose # in the field. You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “” character, similar to A/C Reg #. The smart search retrieves aircraft with Reg. # / Nose # similar to that you have entered in the field
Manufacturer #	The number identifying the manufacturer of the aircraft (Alphanumeric, 45). You can enter the manufacturer number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all manufacturer numbers that are similar to the number entered here.
Aircraft Model #	The number identifying the aircraft model (Alphanumeric, 20). You can enter the model number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the aircraft belonging to the model specified here.
Configuration Class	Use the drop-down list box to specify the configuration class to which the aircraft belongs. The system lists all the active configuration classes that are defined for the aircraft in the “Configuration” business component. Leave this field blank if you wish to retrieve all the aircraft irrespective of the configuration class. The system leaves this field blank by default.

Click the “Search” pushbutton to display the search results in the “Aircraft Record List” multiline.

The system retrieves only those aircraft records that are in “Active” status.

Note: The system will not retrieve aircraft that are in “Phased-Out” condition.

The system displays the following fields in the “Aircraft Record List” multiline, based on the filter criteria entered:

Aircraft Reg #

The registration number of the aircraft.

Comments	Any other remarks pertaining to the freezing or updating of the aircraft record (Alphanumeric, 2000).

Note: Ensure that at least one record is selected in the multiline.

Select the “View Aircraft Configuration” link to view the configuration details of the aircraft.
Click the “Freeze Records” pushbutton to freeze the aircraft records.

Note: The system automatically moves the frozen records from the “Aircraft Record List” multiline to the “Unfreeze Records” multiline, on clicking the “Freeze Records” pushbutton.

The system performs the following:

Updates the record status of the aircraft as “Frozen”.
Updates the reference document type as “Manual”.
Updates the transient status of the associated hangar work orders and component work orders that are in “Fresh”, “Scheduled”, “In-Progress” or “Completed” status to “Hold”, along with the comment “Aircraft Record Frozen”.
Updates the transient status of the technical logs that are in “Fresh” status to “Hold”, along with the comment “Aircraft Record Frozen”.
Updates Record Status of all attached components and assemblies in Configuration as 'Inactive', if the process parameter 'Update Record Status of the attached components as "Inactive" on Freeze of Aircraft Record?'under entity type Aircraft Entry and entity Aircraft is 1/Yes in the Define Process Parameters activity of Common Master.
Click the “Update Attributes” pushbutton, to update the attributes for the aircraft records.

The system performs the following on clicking the “Update Attributes” pushbutton:

Updates the condition of the aircraft and all its lower level components as “Phased Out”, if the “Aircraft Condition” is set as “Phased Out”.

Update status and condition for aircraft records – An overview

This page allows you to freeze and unfreeze aircraft records. You can also update the attributes such as aircraft status, AOG status and aircraft condition for the aircraft record. You can search for an aircraft by providing filter criteria such as aircraft registration number, manufacturer number, aircraft model number and configuration class. Based on the search criteria, you can retrieve the aircraft records that are in “Active” status in the “Aircraft Record List” multiline for freezing and/or updating attributes. You can also retrieve the aircraft records that are in “Frozen” status and unfreeze them.
