Processing discrepancies – A summary of the activity

In this activity,you can process discrepancies that are pending as well as deferred for an aircraft. Discrepancies are typically the symptoms of the problem, which are observed by the person in charge, like pilot, mechanic or the cabin crew and are recorded in the flight log. The mechanic creates  discrepancies in the “Discrepancy Processing” business component.

The rectification may not be carried out as and when the discrepancies are identified so the mechanic may defer the maintenance work on faulty part due to reasons such as non-availability of spares, under equipped maintenance station, or to save operation time. In such cases the  discrepancy is termed as “Carried forward”.

In this page, those pending and deferred discrepancies that are not processed for the aircraft are displayed in the multiline. The details such as discrepancy report number, its description, ATA on which the discrepancy is observed, fault, cause and part on which the discrepancy is observed, are displayed. You can select the discrepancy and associate to the visit package for processing. You can also specify the work center where the discrepancy has to be processed.

The system inherits all the work units defined for the discrepancy and updates the “Processed (Y/N)” field in the “Discrepancy Processing” component to “Yes”.
