Selecting part number for updating configuration – An overview

This page allows you to select a part for which the configuration details must be updated. If you know the part number for which you wish to update the configuration details, you can enter it directly. Otherwise, you can carry out a search based on the part number, base part number, ATA chapter number and manufacturer of the aircraft. You can also search for a part by specifying the next higher assembly of the part number, which is otherwise the parent part number, in the search criteria. The details of the selected part, such as the part number, description, base part, component modification status and the manufacturer of the aircraft are displayed.
