Creating a visit package for unscheduled maintenance – An overview

In this page, you can create and confirm the visit package information. A unique visit package number will be generated by the system, based on the numbering type that you select in this page.

You must enter the aircraft registration number for which the visit package is applicable, and specify whether the Certificate of Maintenance must be issued for the aircraft, after completion of the maintenance activity.

You can assign a user-defined status and priority for the visit package, enter the group and category to which the visit package belongs, and the project code, which helps in cost tracking.

You can also provide a reference to a visit package that is already defined and selectively copy details such as the aircraft task, on-wing task, component removal list, non-routine tasks, and engineering order and fleet campaign directive tasks.

The following details can be recorded for the execution of the visit package:

the date on which the aircraft will be grounded for visit package execution
the planned start date and end date for visit package completion
the estimated time and man-hours to complete the visit package
the work center where the maintenance activity is performed
the employee who is planning the visit package.

You can enter the work units that must be performed as part of the maintenance activity and specify the sequence in which they have to be carried out, while executing the visit package. The work center where the work unit must be performed, the part number, serial number and the component ID on which the work unit must be performed, and the type of maintenance can be specified. You can indicate the time and man-hours estimated to complete the work unit, the start date and end date for work unit completion and assign a priority for the work unit.

The system generates the visit package number, updates the details, and sets the status of the visit package as “Fresh”.

You are also provided with the option of confirming the visit package in this page. On confirmation, the system sets the status of the visit package to “Confirmed”.
