Help On EAN

This page allows you to retrieve the details of the engineering advice notes that are already defined. You can carry out a search based on the aircraft model number, aircraft registration number, part number, serial number, nose number, component number, key word, ATA number or background details. The system displays the EANs that match the filter criteria in the multiline.

Click the lens icon positioned next to the “Engg Advice Note #” field in the main screen.

The “Engg Advice Note Information” page appears.

Enter the following in the “Search Criteria” group box to search for an engineering advice note. Data entry in the following fields is optional:

Exec. Doc. #

Use the drop-down list box to specify the type of the execution document with reference to which the Engineering Advice Note has been created, for which the details are to be retrieved.

The system lists the following options:

A/C Maint. Exec. Ref – Select this option to retrieve the Engineering Advice Notes, which have been created with reference to the Aircraft Maintenance Execution Reference document(s).
Hangar Work Order - Select this option to retrieve the Engineering Advice Notes, which have been created with reference to the Hangar Work Order(s).
Component Work Order - Select this option to retrieve the Engineering Advice Notes, which have been created with reference to the Component Work Order(s).

In the editable field (Alphanumeric, 40) provided alongside, enter the execution document number corresponding to the type of the execution document selected for which you want to retrieve details in the multiline. You can enter the execution document number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system displays all the EANs having the number corresponding to the type of execution document specified.

Selecting EAN for modification – An overview

This page allows you to select an EAN for modification. If you know the EAN number, you can enter it directly. Otherwise, you can carry out a search based on the engineering advice note number, the category to which the EAN belongs, the applicability of the ESR, the ATA chapter number associated to it and the user status. The system retrieves the EANs, which are in the “Fresh” status, based on the search criteria entered.

This page also allows you to select an EAN and cancel it. The engineering service requests associated to the cancelled EAN are disassociated from the EAN and are available again for processing. The status of the selected EAN is updated to “Cancelled”.
