Create Non-Standard based Task – A summary of the activity

Task is the basic unit of the maintenance work performed on the equipment. Tasks can be classified as standard tasks and Non-Standard tasks. standard tasks represent planned activities, which are typically derived out of the maintenance program. They are suggested by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Details such as periodicity, applicability, resource or tool requirements can be specified for standard tasks. Non-Standard tasks are the unscheduled, unplanned tasks carried out during the Non-Standard kind of maintenance. Repetitive usage of a Non-Standard task can lead to it being re-classified as a standard task.

The Non-Standard tasks will be generated by the system while creating the work order.

Use this activity to convert Non-Standard tasks to standard tasks. The ”Select Non-Standard Task ” page allows you to specify the search criteria and select the Non-Standard task. The selected Non-Standard task can be converted to the standard task in the “Create Non-Standard based Task Information” page.

The “Edit Work Area / Zone Information” page allows you to specify the work area or zone where the task must be executed. You can specify the spare part and the resource details in the “Edit Part Requirements” and “Edit Resource Requirements” pages. The “Edit Access Panel Information” page allows you to specify the access panel details for performing the task.

The “Edit Model Effectivity” and the “Edit Aircraft Effectivity” pages allow you to specify the applicability of the task to the model and to the aircraft within the model. The component and the periodicity details can be entered in the “Edit Component Effectivity” and “Edit Periodicity Information” pages. In the “Edit Notes” page, you can record any additional information pertaining to the Non-Standard task.

Getting familiar with the pages inside

What you can do in this activity

Inactivate Non-Standard task

Define aircraft model or component effectivity for the task

Maintain multiple revisions of the task

Create task involving multiple subtasks, resources and parts

Specify access panels for the task

Identify multiple work areas and zones for the task

Specify date-based and parameter-based periodicity for the task

Inactivate Non-Standard task

You can inactivate a non standard task, so that it is disabled from future reference in other activities.

• Go to “Create Non-Standard based Task Information” page.

• Check the “Disable Non-Standard Task” box to inactivate the non standard task.

Define aircraft model or component effectivity for the task

If the task is applicable for “Aircraft”, you can define the model effectivity, that is, indicate the aircraft models for which the task is applicable.

• Use the “Edit Model Effectivity” page to identify aircraft models for the task.

• Use the “Edit Aircraft Effectivity” page to identify the individual aircraft, belonging to the specified model, for the task.

If the task is applicable for “Engine” or “Component”, you can define the component effectivity, that is, indicate the components for which the task is applicable.

• Use the “Edit Component Effectivity” page to identify the components for the task.

Maintain multiple revisions of the task

A task can contain multiple revisions. Modifications to the task can be traced though the revision numbers. The revision number represents the number of changes the task has undergone.

• Go to “Create Non-Standard based Task Information” page.

• Enter the revision number for the task in the “Revision #” field.

Create task involving multiple subtasks, resources and parts

• You can define multiple sub tasks for the maintenance task and specify the sequence in which they have to be carried out while executing the maintenance task. Use the “Sub Tasks” multiline in the “Create Non-Standard based Task Information” page to enter sub task details.

• Use the “Edit Resource Requirements” page to enter resources required for executing the task.

• Use the “Edit Part Requirements” page to enter parts required to execute the task.

Specify access panels for the task

Access panels provide work area access for performing the maintenance task. Executing a maintenance task may involve opening of one or more panels to access a component or the area inside the component.

• Use the “Edit Access Panel Information” page to identify the access panels for the selected task

The access panel tasks will be executed based on the sequence in which the access panels are identified for the task.

Identify multiple work areas and zones for the task

Work area is the physical location where the work has to be carried out. This can be inside or outside the aircraft. Zones are the different areas inside the aircraft.

• Use the “Edit Work Area / Zone Information” page to identify multiple work areas or zones for the task.

Specify date-based and parameter-based periodicity for the task

The periodicity decides the optimum limits within which the task is to be performed. Periodicity can be in terms of calendar duration and or on the basis of one or more consumption parameters (like flight hours / flight cycles). This becomes very important especially for MPD type and CMM tasks.

You can define the schedules based on dates as well as parameters.

• Use the “Edit Periodicity Information” page to define date-based and parameter-based schedules.
