Editing activated tasks – An overview

In the “Maintain Activated Tasks" page, you can modify the details of the selected task. Tasks that are in the “Active” or “Inactive” status can be modified. You can create a new revision of the task. Note that the status of the task does not automatically change from ‘Active’ to ‘Fresh’ on modification or creation of a new revision. You can manually change the status by using the ‘Change Status to’ attribute in this page. Other details, such as task description, revision number, type, task reference details, the ATA number, DSC number, estimated time and man-hours required for executing the task, and sub tasks can be modified.

Implications of Status change of tasks in maintenance programs

When you modify the Status of a component or engine task to “Inactive”, the system performs the following.
1. Resets the Schedule Status of the task in all part and component maintenance programs in which the task is included to “Inactive”. Conversely, if the Status is changed to “Active” from “Inactive”, the Status of the task in part and component maintenance programs will be reset to “Active”.
2. Resets the Schedule Status of the task to “Inactive” in aircraft model and associated aircraft-specific maintenance programs, which consists of the task with the Job Type set to “On-wing”. When an inactive task is made active, the system resets the Status of the task to “Active” in all the aircraft model and the associated aircraft-specific maintenance programs that comprise the task.
When you modify the Status of an aircraft task to “Inactive”, the system performs the following.

Resets the Schedule Status of the task as “Inactive” in all aircraft model and associated aircraft-specific maintenance programs, which contain the task to “inactive”. Conversely, when you change the status to “Active” from “Inactive”, the system resets the Schedule Status of the task to “Active” in all the model and aircraft maintenance programs that include this task.

Status change of tasks with multiple revisions in “Active” Status.

However, if a task with multiple revisions in “Active” Status is made "Inactive", the system ascertains the model effectivity, aircraft effectivity, part effectivity of the task with revision # that is made inactive. The Schedule Status of the task is made “Inactive” in all those programs of part, component, model and aircraft that are no longer effective for task with the revision # that was made inactive. Conversely, when status is changed from "Inactive" to "Active", the system resets the Schedule Status of the task to “Active” in the programs of part, component, model and aircraft, which are explicitly set as effective in the current revision of the task. Therefore, the reset of Schedule Status happens only if the Status of the latest revision of the task is changed.

Note: 1) The Schedule Status is reset in the maintenance programs of only those parts, components, aircraft models and aircraft that are effective for the task. 2) Further, the system resets the Schedule Status only if these maintenance programs are in Active, Fresh, Confirm or Return Status.

Compliance History

All the modified information on tasks is archived in the aircraft and component compliance history for future reference.
