Ability to Dual Authenticate employee during Task Discrepancy Sign- off in MechanicAnywhere Reference: AHBG- 15535 Background A task/ discrepancy on completion must be signed- off by authorized personnel ( Mechanic/ Inspector) possessing pre- defined/ specific skill sets. Typically, in scenarios where sign- off is performed by means of Mobile devices, the mechanics complete the work and sign- off the task. Post sign off by the mechanic, the device is handed over to the concerned inspector to perform inspector sign- off. In this situation, the system must enable the inspector to sign off the task using the same device as used by the mechanic without having to login into the device all over again. A provision to enable multiple employees to sign off without having to re- login into the application would make the sign off process more speedy and user- friendly. Change Details In the E- Sign Off pop- up, the Employee ID field has been converted into an input field to enable authorized users other than the login user to sign off the task / discrepancy without logging into the iPad again. This new field by default displays the employee name of the login user. Further, the Skill # field also displays in the following way by default: • Primary Skill mapped to the ' Employee #' in HRMS business component • First skill effective for the employee, if Primary Skill is not defined for employee. • Blank, if skills are not defined for the employee To facilitate Dual Authentication in MechanicAnywhere, the following data has been defined in the Configure Dual Authentication screen of the Smart Card Interface business component. • Application Group: Mobility • Entity: MechanicAnywhere • Action: Sign- Off Process parameter dependency for task/ discrepancy sign off However, dual authentication and dual sign off for task/ discrepancy in MechanicAnywhere is allowed only if the following process parameters under the entity type “ Package Type” and the entity “ User- Defined” are enabled in the Define Process Entities activity as explained next. • A user other than the login user can sign off only if the process parameter " Allow sign- off entry by different employee?" is set as ‘ 1’ ( Yes) • The same employee ( Employee ID) can sign off for Inspector or RII in addition to Mechanic sign off, If the process parameter " Permit Dual Sign- off by the employee?" is set as " 0" ( Yes). 6 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The E- Sign Off screen Exhibit 2: The Configure Dual Authentication screen Prerequisite data to be defined here Employee ID is now editable. 7 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to update parameters against Task/ subtask from MechanicAnywhere Reference: AHBG- 21149 Background A provision to update mandatory parameter readings for tasks and sub tasks before their completion is available in Aircraft Maintenance Execution screen in the desktop application. A similar feature is required in the MechanicAnywhere to support mobile users to record parameter values before the task/ sub task completion. Change Details In order to facilitate the update of parameter values against tasks/ sub tasks in MechAnywhere, the following changes have been incorporated in Task Card Details: • New button Parameter Recording has been added In the Task Card Details screen. On click of this button the Parameter Recording popup will appear. However, this button will not be available for tasks/ subtask for which no parameters require to be updated. • The Parameter Recording button displays = ( Count of parameters not updated for task/ sub tasks / Total cunt of parameters defined for task/ sub tasks). For every task/ sub task, the following fields appear in the tab: o Parameter – Displays all the parameters defined for the task/ sub task o Value/ Eval. Response – Captures the value of the parameter. o Exe. Remarks – Captures the remarks of execution of the task o Updated Date & Time – Captures the date on and time at which the parameter value was updated. o Updated By – Captures Employee code of the login user • Icon differentiator for Mandatory, Pending, Completed, New and Delta parameter values o Mandatory parameters are displayed in Red o Parameters for which update is completed are displayed in Green o Parameters for which update is pending are displayed in Yellow 8 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution • Image identifiers for New Update and Delta Update parameters • Callout popup over the Parameter field that will display Current Value and Permitted Values ( only if available) • Conditional Evaluation multiline will display the following information respective to the parameters. User can select the checkbox and on update, the system will assign the Follow- Up Task# to the package if the parameter value matches the trigger value. o Trigger value ( Min/ Max) o Follow- Up Action o Follow- Up Task # o Follow Up Instruction o Remarks Exhibit 1: The Parameter Reading button in Task Card Details screen 9 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The Parameter Recording pop up for task Legends Click here to update task parameters. 10 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 3: The Parameter Recording pop up for sub task Legends Click here to update task parameters.

The Job Type drop- down list box added to create/ add Component tasks. 15 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to display and modify the Sign Off Comments in MechanicAnywhere Reference: AHBG- 22394 Background In Aircraft Maintenance, typically the Quality Audit team reviews the Sign Off comments that the mechanics provide on completing a task or closing a discrepancy. Further, the mechanics would also want to modify the Sign Off comments made previously or add new comments against a task/ discrepancy. Considering these critical requirements, a provision to add, update and view the Sign Off comments against a task/ discrepancy must be built into MechanicAnywhere. Change Details The following developments have been carried out in MechanicAnywhere to enable the addition, update and viewing of Sign Off comments: Discrepancy Card screen: • New column Sign Off Comments added in the Resolution History tab with an icon. This icon indicates that sign off comments are available for the discrepancy. The users can swipe the record to view the Sign Off Comments button. On tapping of the Sign Off Comments button, the Sign Off Comments popup opens up. Now, the users can add new comments or modify/ view existing comments in this popup for the selected discrepancy.

This enables mechanics to work on the discrepancies, if they find the opportunity to work on them earlier than the scheduled date for the aircraft. Similar feature is required in the Maint./ Pilot Discrepancy tab of the E- Log screen of MechanicAnywhere application as currently, the Open discrepancies cannot be added to another package. Change Details The Add Deferred Discrepancies popup in the Maint. / Pilot Discrepancy tab of the E- Log screen has been renamed as Add Discrepancies. Now, the users can retrieve all the unresolved discrepancies of their choice and then allocate them to a package for execution. The Filter By ( first) drop- down list box has been added in the Add Discrepancies popup with the following values: • Deferred • Open However, on launch of the Add Discrepancies pop up, the Filter By drop- down list box will display Deferred and the second drop- down list box ( Advanced Filter 1) will display the following values: • Due By Days • Overdue By Days • Remaining FH • Remaining FC • Discrepancy # • Description • ATA # • Discrepancy Type • Discrepancy Category • Deferral Type On selection of Open in the Filter By drop- down list box, Advanced Filter 1 will load the following values: • Discrepancy # • Exe. Doc # • Discrepancy Type • Discrepancy Description • Discrepancy Category • ATA # The users can use the third drop- down list box ( Advanced Filter 2) to select the value for the attribute selected in Advanced Filter 1 22 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Discrepancy Retrieval To retrieve discrepancies from Due Items, the users can select ‘ Deferred’ from the Filter By drop- down list box. Alternatively, discrepancies in the following statuses from packages created against the aircraft are retrieved, if Open is selected in the first drop- down list box. • Fresh • Pending • Under Resolution • Pending Deferral • Deferred The users can select the check box for the discrepancies and then click the Add button to allocate the discrepancies to a package. These discrepancies assume the status of “ Under Resolution” in the allocated package. 23 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The Maint./ Pilot Discrepancy tab of the E- Log screen Exhibit 2: The rechristened Add Discrepancies pop- up with Filter By as Deferred 24 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 3: The rechristened Add Discrepancies pop- up with Filter By as Open 25 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to enter Execution Comments from Maint. Events & Task tab of E- Log screen Reference: AHBG- 21090 Background A provision to record Execution Comments against a task similar to that available in the Task Card Details screen is required in the Maint. Events & Task tab in the E- Log screen for easy usability. Change Details In the Maint. Events & Task tab of the E- Log screen, new button Execution Comments has been added to facilitate recording of the execution comments against the task. The button displays the count of the execution comments already recorded for the task and on click of the button, the Execution Comments popup appears. The popup comprises two input fields Comments and Date and Time to record the following information: • Execution comments against the task • Date and time of entry of Execution comment Subsequent to data entry, the user can click the Add Comment pushbutton to save the information. 26 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The Execution Comments button in the E- Log screen Execution comments button 27 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The Execution Comments popup in the Maint.

Change Details New Edit icon has been added next to Resolution Details in the Discrepancy Card screen on the click of which the Edit Discrepancy popup appears. In this popup, the users can modify the corrective action and discrepancy description. However, the user is allowed to modify corrective action against the discrepancy only if no sign off has happened for the corrective action. If Mechanic/ Inspector/ Both sign off has already happened against the current corrective action, the system does not allow users to modify the corrective action. 29 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: Change in the Discrepancy Card screen Click the Edit icon to modify Corrective Action 30 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: Changes in the Discrepancy Card screen The Edit Discrepancy popup that appears on click of the Edit icon 31 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to filter, search and sort the tasks in Maint. Events & Task tab of E- Log screen Reference: AHBG- 21782 Background In reality in MRO organizations, the packages that execute heavy checks on aircraft comprise of more than a hundred tasks. Since the E- Log screen has the capability to load all the tasks, the users find it demanding and time consuming to scroll through the lengthy task list to locate specific/ desired tasks. Hence a provision to search for tasks within a package and to sort the retrieved tasks is required to make the task identification speedy for the users. Further, a provision is also required to exclude completed/ closed tasks from search since the users may not want to view them. Change Details As part of this enhancement, the following have been incorporated in the Maintain Events & Tasks tab in the E- Log screen: • Search box to retrieve tasks of the users’ choice. Three filters have been provided including Task Description, Task # and ATA # based on which the tasks from the package will be retrieved. • Toggle button has been added to include/ exclude Closed items ( tasks which are in Closed or Completed status) from the search. However, the toggle button will not influence the search criteria. • Sort button to enable users to specify the display order of the retrieved tasks. Users can select from one of the following attributes: o Sequence # o ATA # o Zone o Exec. Phase 32 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The changes in the Maintain Events & Tasks tab in the E- Log screen 33 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The sort option in the Maintain Events & Tasks tab in the E- Log screen Select the attribute that will decide the display order of retrieved tasks 34 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to identify the Sign Off requirements without entering Corrective Action in MechanicAnywhere Reference: AHBG- 21902 Background The users in MechanicAnywhere become aware of the signoff requirement of a discrepancy only after the corrective action has been specified for the discrepancy. A provision is required to display the signoff requirement even before the corrective action has been specified by the mechanics. This will help mechanics to create discrepancies incidentally found at the time of inspection, which cannot be immediately rectified owing to time constraints. Change Details New process parameter ‘ Allow Identification of Sign Off Requirement without Corrective Action for Discrepancies?’ defined under the entity type Package Type and the entity All User Defined values including Log Card but excluding "-- All Packages--" in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master will now determine whether Corrective Action for a discrepancy is required to view the Sign off requirement at the time of creation. However, this process parameter works in conjunction with another process parameter “ Default Sign- off Requirement for Non Routines” as it handles the Sign Off requirement for package types. The Sign Off requirement toggles will be auto- enabled based on the process parameter in following screens of MechanicAnywhere: • Record Discrepancy Write Up • Create Discrepancy • New Corrective Action • Edit Discrepancy Allow Identification of Sign Off Requirement without Corrective Action for Discrepancies? Value Default Sign- off Requirement for Non Routines Value Impact in Discrepancy Write Up, Create Discrepancy and New Corrective Action screens 1 / Allowed “ 1" for ' Mechanic'," 2" for'Inspector'," 3" for ' Mech. & Insp.' The Signoff toggle buttons will be auto- enabled on page launch 0/ Not Required The Signoff toggle buttons will not be auto- enabled on page launch 0/ Not Allowed “ 1" for ' Mechanic'," 2" for'Inspector'," 3" for ' Mech. & Insp.' The Signoff toggle buttons will not be auto- enabled on page launch 0/ Not Required The Signoff toggle buttons will not be enabled on page launch  Note: However, in the Edit Discrepancy popup and New Corrective Action popup, the Sign Off Requirement toggle buttons ( Mechanic/ Inspector) will remain selected or deselected as saved at the time of discrepancy creation. 35 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The Discrepancy Writeup screen in MechanicAnywhere The toggle buttons are enabled- disabled based on process parameter definition. 36 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The Create Discrepancy screen in MechanicAnywhere The toggle buttons are enabled- disabled based on process parameter definition. 37 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to capture the Est. Man Hours during Discrepancy creation Reference: AHBG- 21726 Background A provision is required in the MechanicAnywhere mobile application to capture the estimated hours of work required for the closure/ resolution of the discrepancy at the time of creation. The estimated hours for a discrepancy is required since in the MRO industry, the mechanics must obtain approval from their supervisors to work on a discrepancy, if the estimated hours is more than eight hours. Additionally, a provision must also be available for users to modify the estimated hours for a discrepancy previously recorded at the time creation. Change Details A new input field Est. Man Hours has been added in the following screens of MechanicAnywhere to record the required hours of work on the discrepancy • Discrepancy Write Up • Create Discrepancy • Edit Discrepancy Another new input field Reported By has been introduced in the Discrepancy Write Up screen to enable users other than the logon user to report discrepancies. In the event of users not specifying the employee ID, the system defaults the field to the login user ID. 38 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: New fields in the Discrepancy Write Up screen in MechanicAnywhere 39 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: New field in the Create Discrepancy screen in MechanicAnywhere 40 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 3: New field in the Edit Discrepancy screen in MechanicAnywhere 41 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to defer a discrepancy from Discrepancy Write- up screen Reference: AHBG- 15390 Background Discrepancies are maintenance requirements that may or may not affect the airworthiness of the aircraft. In real time scenario, if a reported discrepancy cannot be resolved before the next flight and if it will not affect the aircraft operations, a mechanic defers such a discrepancy at the time of creation itself. Though, a provision to create discrepancies in the shortest time exists in the MechanicAnywhere mobile application, the facility to defer a discrepancy at the same time as creation remains to be built into the system. Change Details • To enable mechanics to defer a discrepancy at the time of creation, the Defer option has been added in the Action drop- down list box of the Discrepancy Write Up pop up. • New section Defer By has been added to enable users to record deferral limits to the discrepancy to be deferred. • The Defer By section appears only on the selection of Defer as the action for the discrepancy. • Deferral details including the following can be recorded by users in the Defer By section. o FC o FH o Calendar o Other Parameters o Reason o Type & Item # o Authorization # • On tap of the Create & Sign Off button, the E- Sign Off page appears and the users can sign off the deferral of the discrepancy. A discrepancy is created in the “ Deferred” status. 42 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The Defer action in the Discrepancy Write Up screen The Defer option added in the Action drop- down box. 43 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The Discrepancy Write Up screen in E- Log The Defer By section to record deferral details for the discrepancy. 44 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to Create and Sign Off Discrepancy together in Discrepancy Write Up screen Reference: AHBG- 15426 Background Discrepancies reported against aircraft require sign off from mechanics and/ or inspectors with specific certified skills. Normally as a work practice, these discrepancies are created and signed off in one go so as to fast track the process. In the MechanicAnywhere mobility application, a provision to create & sign off a discrepancy at the same time is the business need of the hour. Change Details To enable Mechanics and Inspectors to perform discrepancy creation and sign off simultaneously, the Create & Sign Off button has been introduced in the Record Discrepancy Write Up pop up of E- Log. • On tap of the Create & Sign Off button for Corrective Action ( mandatory) with the Sign off requirement ' Pending Mechanic', the E- Sign Off pop up appears. The Mechanic field is defaulted with the employee code of the mechanic. • On tap of the Create & Sign Off button for Corrective Action ( mandatory) with the Sign off requirement ' Pending Inspector', the E- Sign Off pop up appears. The Inspector field is defaulted with the employee code of the inspector. • On tap of the Create & Sign Off button for Corrective Action ( mandatory) with the Sign off requirement ' Pending Mechanic & Inspector', the E- Sign Off pop up appears. The Mechanic field is defaulted with the employee code of the mechanic. • On tap of the Create & Sign Off button, if Sign off requirement is set/ derived as “ Not Required”, the E- Sign Off pop up does not appear nevertheless the discrepancy is created successfully. 45 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The Discrepancy Write Up pop up in E- Log 46 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The E- Sign Off popup in the Discrepancy Write Up popup The Employee ID field will be defaulted based on the sign off requirement. 47 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to perform Employee Time Booking automatically based on Task Actuals during Task Completion Reference: AHBG- 20217 Background In certain Aircraft Maintenance scenarios, a single employee is assigned a task in a package and the employee individually works and completes the task. In such circumstances, it would be beneficial for the employees to manually book their timesheets at the time of completion of the task. However, presently, only direct timesheet booking is possible in MechanicAnywhere/ Ramco Aviation and this mechanism is ideal for tasks on which multiple employees contribute their time/ skills. Change Details Typically, the employees start and stop clocks to record timesheet indicating their contribution to the execution of a task in a package. On completion, the system based on the hours clocked on the task derives the actual man hours for the task as well as for the individual employees. Onwards, to cater to a situation in which an employee takes up the execution of the task exclusively, the system will take into consideration the following details of a task ( as recorded by employees) to enable automatic timesheet booking instead of the running clocks for a single employee – task combination in MechanicAnywhere, Work Reporting Hub and Aircraft Maintenance Execution. • Actual Start Date and Time • Actual End Date and Time • Actual Man Hours To facilitate manual timesheet booking in MechanicAnywhere, new input field Act. Man Hours has been added in the Change Status pop up in the Task Card Details screen of E- Log. However, the manual timesheet booking for a task on completion by employees is influenced by the process parameter ‘ Automatically book Timesheet for Employees completing Tasks using the Task’s Actual Hours?’ added under the entity type Package Type and the entity “- User Defined Values -" in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master. The table shown next illustrates the workability of the process parameter. 48 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Process parameter value Impact on timesheet booking on completion of task from package 0/ Not Required Direct timesheet booking based on clocks only possible. 1/ Consider Act. Start Date & Time and Act. End Date & Time The system considers Act. Start Date and Time as Start Time of the Timesheet entry and Act. End Date and Time as End of the Timesheet entry for the task and derives Act. Man Hours for the employee. Act. Man Hours = Act. Start Date and Time – Act. End Date and Time 2/ Consider Act. Start Date & Time and Act. Hours The system considers Act.

Hours The system considers Actual End Date and Time as End Time of the Timesheet entry for the task and derives Actual Start Date and Time in the following way: Act. Start Date and Time = Act. End Date & Time – Act. Man Hours) Exhibit 1: The E- Log screen in MechanicAnywhere mobile app New field - Act. Manual Hours 49 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to end all clocks and also to record employee timesheet from MechanicAnywhere Reference: AHBG- 22337 Background Currently in MechanicAnywhere, the users can stop the running clock of tasks/ discrepancies individually but not collectively. To stop running clocks of multiple tasks and discrepancies, the user has to tediously access each task/ discrepancy and then stop the clock. A provision is required whereby a single action can stop the running clocks of all tasks/ discrepancies started by a user. In many MROs, the timesheet entries of employees are utilized for job costing and payroll. Hence a provision for employees to enter/ edit timesheet entries manually would facilitate the straight through processing of job costing and payroll. Change Details A new button End All Clocks has been added in the eLog screen to stop the running clocks of all the tasks/ discrepancies inside/ across packages started by an employee. However, a new process parameter ‘ End all running clocks for login user inside/ across package( s) in Mechanic Anywhere?’ under the entity type ‘ Package Type’ and the entity ‘ All Packages’ has been added in the in the ‘ Define Process Entities’ activity of the Common Master business component to ascertain the clocks that must be closed. Based on the value for the process parameter, the system ends the clocks of tasks/ discrepancies started by the users. Process parameter value Impact on running clocks 0/ Inside Package Stops all the running clocks associated with the login user inside the current package/ execution document 1/ Across Packages Stops all the running clocks associated with the login user across packages A new left pane activity Record Timesheet has been introduced to enable employees to create and manage timesheets. . Additionally, the new Record Timesheet page can also be accessed from the following screens by new link Record Timesheet. • E- Log • Task Card Details • Discrepancy Card To view/ modify/ delete specific timesheets, the users can provide search criteria to retrieve the timesheet they wish to work with. 50 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 1: The new buttons in the E- Log screen 51 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 2: The new button in the Task Card Details screen 52 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Exhibit 3: The new Record Timesheet screen The Search section The Search results Tap the timesheet record to display on the details on the right Tap to create a new timesheet record Tap to delete the displayed timesheet record. Tap to save timesheet details 53 | Enhancement Notification Ramco Aviation Solution Ability to Limit Same Employee from Signing off as Mechanic/ Inspector and RII Reference: AHBG- 21723 Background As per specific Air Travel regulatory requirement, there are tasks ( both Aircraft and Component) requiring independent inspection and hence must be signed off by RII. Further, the regulatory agencies do not allow for the same employee to execute both RII sign off and Mechanic/ Inspector sign off of a task/ discrepancy.
