Select the “Edit Schedule Details” link at the bottom of the main page.

The “Edit Schedule Information” page appears.

The system displays the following fields in the “Task Details” group box:

Task #	The task for which the schedule details are to be defined.
Revision #	The revision number of the task for which the schedule details are to be defined.
Task Applicability	Indicates whether the task is applicable for “Aircraft”, “Engine” or “Component”.
Base Aircraft Model #	The number identifying the base aircraft model on which the task can be performed
Task Description	The textual description of the task.
Schedule Type	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether the task has to be performed on a “One-Time” or “Recurring” basis. The system displays “Recurring” by default.

Enter the following fields in the “Date Based Schedules” group box:

Time Unit	Use the drop-down list box to specify the time unit for ‘Threshold’, ‘Repeat Interval’ and ‘Terminating Value’. The system lists the values “Days”, “Months”, “Month End” and “Years”. By default, the system displays “Days”.
Threshold	The maximum duration within which the selected task has to be performed (Decimal). For a task with both date-based and usage-based schedules, you can specify one of the below-listed, Threshold interval for date based schedule Threshold value for at least one parameter of the usage-based schedule.
Repeat Interval	The interval in which the task has to be repeated, in the case of recurring tasks (Decimal). However, for a task with both date-based and usage-based schedules, you can specify one of the below-listed, Repeat interval for date based schedule Repeat interval for at least one parameter comprising the usage-based schedule.
Terminating Value	The terminating value specified for the execution of task. (Decimal). For a task with both date-based and usage-based schedules, you can specify one of the below-listed, Repeat interval for date based schedule. Repeat interval for at least one parameter comprising the usage-based schedule.
Limit Basis	Use the drop-down list box to select the limit basis for picking the Next Schedule Date (NSD) for a task that has multiple NSDs. This situation occurs either when a task has date-based and usage-based schedules or when the usage-based schedule comprises multiple parameters. You must note that the Next Schedule Value (NSV) of each parameter is eventually converted into NSD based on the daily average utilization for scheduling of a task. You must specify the limit basis, if the Schedule Type is “Recurring” for tasks with both date-based and usage-based schedules or if usage-based schedule includes more than one parameter.

Enter the following in the “Usage-Based Schedules” multiline:

Parameter

A number that identifies the consumption parameter in the aircraft or its component (Alphanumeric, 40). This parameter must be of type “Consumption” defined in the “Create Parameters’ activity of the “Aircraft” business component. The schedule of the task will be decided based on the values of the consumption parameters.

The system performs the following:.

If you modify the schedule information of a task in ““Return” status, the system changes the status of the task to “Fresh”.
The schedules of tasks are updated in the maintenance programs only if the Prog. Item Type of tasks are Block, Base, Non-Block or To Be Decided.
The Schedule Status is reset in the maintenance programs of only those parts, components, aircraft models and aircraft effective for the task.
Further, the system resets the Schedule Status only if these maintenance programs are in Fresh, Active or Inactive Status.
Updates the schedule changes for a task to AMP / CMP, only if the Schedule Type selected in the current page matches with the Schedule Type for the task in the AMP / CMP.
When you modify the task details in the “Maintain Activated Task” page, the system updates the modified schedule details to AMP / CMP, only after the task schedules are modified in the “Edit Schedule Information” page.
When you authorize the task in the “Authorize Tasks” page, the system updates the modified schedule details to AMP / CMP, only if ‘Inherit Schedules to Program / Template? is set as “Yes”.
When a new parameter is added for the task, the system updates the parameter details to the AMP, CMP, Model Program and Part Program, only if the added parameter is defined for the effective aircraft, component, model and part, respectively.
The system does not updates the schedule changes for task to:

1. AMP, if the current status of the Aircraft Reg # is ‘Frozen” as defined in the “Aircraft” business component.
2. CMP, if the component is attached to the Aircraft Reg # whose current status is “Frozen” as defined in the “Aircraft” business component.

The system displays alert messages for following instances:

1. If the Computed NSD / NSV is overdue for some task(s).
2. When there is a mismatch in ‘Schedule Type’ between effective programs and the current page.
3. If the added parameters are not identified for the effective Models / Parts / Aircrafts / Components.
4. When Schedules are not updated for programs of component(s) attached to frozen aircraft or for .programs of frozen aircraft.
5. When Schedules are not updated for component program(s) having position based schedules.

Computes and updates the NSD / NSV for the tasks. Refer to the section "Scenario-wise illustration of NSD and NSV".

Note: On modification of interval or threshold, Next Schedule Date / Next Schedule Value is not recomputed, if there exist an open escalation for a task.

On re-baseline of Last Performed Date (LPD) / Last Performed Value (LPV), on change of interval, Next Schedule Date / value must be computed based on re-baselined LPD / LPV.

Refer to the following sections for more details:

To proceed carry out the following:

Entering schedule information for the task – An overview

This page enables you to enter the schedule information for the selected task. The schedule decides the optimum limits within which the task is to be performed. Schedule can be fixed in terms of calendar duration and or on the basis of one or more consumption parameters (like flight hours / flight cycles). This becomes very important especially for MPD type and CMM tasks.

You can define the schedules based on dates as well as parameters. The schedules could be both one-time as well as recurring. In case one-time date based schedules, you can specify the maximum number of days within which the task has to be executed. In case recurring date based schedules, you can specify the repeat interval in days. In case one-time parameter based schedules, you can specify the maximum value within which the task has to be executed. In case recurring parameter based schedules, you can specify the repeat interval value. Both date based and parameter-based schedules can be defined.

You can also specify the terminating value of task execution in terms of days.

You can also modify the schedules for tasks anytime in future. Further, you can also specify whether changes made to the task must be incorporated in the part/model maintenance programs and component/aircraft maintenance program as well. The system updates the schedule details in the relevant programs and sets the last modified date to the server date.

The system computes the Next Schedule Date and Next Schedule Value for tasks and updates them in the maintenance programs.

When the Maint. Program Modification is set to “Allowed” in Set Options activity and “Inherit Schedules to Program?” as “Yes”

If the schedules of tasks applicable to component/engine are modified, the system automatically,
1. Updates schedules of these tasks in the maintenance programs of those components that are effective for the task and which are in Fresh, Authorized or Inactive Status. However, if the latest revision of a maintenance program is in "Fresh" or "Inactive" Status, the latest as well as the immediate previous revision is updated. If the latest revision is in "Authorized" Status, the system updates the schedule of the task in the latest revision alone.
2. Updates schedules of these tasks with Job Type as "On-Wing" in the maintenance programs of those aircraft that are effective for the task. However, these maintenance programs must necessarily be in "Fresh", "Confirm", "Return", "Active" or "Inactive" Status. However, if the latest revision of a maintenance program is in "Fresh" or "Inactive" Status, the latest as well as the immediate previous revision is updated. If the latest revision is in "Authorized" Status, the system updates the schedule of the task in the latest revision alone.
If the schedules of tasks applicable to aircraft are modified, the system automatically,
1. Incorporates the schedule changes of these tasks in maintenance programs of those aircraft, which are effective for the task an which are in Fresh, Authorized or Inactive Status. However, if the latest revision of a maintenance program is in "Fresh" or "Inactive" Status, the latest as well as the immediate previous revision will be updated. If the latest revision is in "Authorized" Status, the system updates the schedule of the task in the latest revision alone.

When the Maint. Program Modification in the Set Options activity is set to “Allowed” in Set Options activity and “Inherit Schedules to Program Template?” as “Yes”

For tasks applicable to component/engine, the system updates schedules in;
1. Maintenance programs with revision in Fresh, Authorized or Inactive Status of those parts that are effective for the tasks
2. Maintenance programs with revision in Fresh, Return, Confirm, Active or Inactive Status of those aircraft models that are effective for tasks with Job Type as “On Wing”.

For tasks applicable to aircraft, the system updates the schedules in
1. Maintenance programs and revision of all aircraft models, which are effective for the task and, which exist in Fresh, Return, Confirm, Active or Inactive status.

When the Maint. Program Modification in the Set Options activity is set to “With Revision”and “Inherit Schedules to Program Template?” as “Yes”

For tasks applicable to component/engine, the system
1. Creates new revision of maintenance programs of all parts effective for the task with the modified task schedules, if maintenance programs with the latest revision exist in “Active” status. The new revision of maintenance programs are created in “Fresh” Status. Conversely, updates the task schedules in programs with the current revision, if the status of the revisions is "Fresh", "Return", "Confirm" or "Inactive" for all parts effective for the task.
2. Creates new revision of the maintenance programs with the latest task schedules for all aircraft models effective for the task with Job Type as “On-Wing”, if the status of the latest revision of the maintenance programs is “Active”. The new revision of maintenance programs are created in “Fresh” Status. Updates the schedules of tasks with Job Type set to “On-Wing” in the current revision of aircraft-model maintenance programs, if the status of the revision is one of the following: "Fresh", "Return", "Confirm" or "Inactive".

Similar procedure is followed for tasks applicable to aircraft whenever changes occur in schedules. A new revision of the model maintenance program with the modified task schedules in “Fresh” status is created, if maintenance program with the latest revision exists in “Active” status. However, the system updates the task schedules in the aircraft model maintenance programs with the current revision, if the status of the latest revisions is one of the following: Fresh, Return, Confirm or Inactive.

When the Maint. Program Modification in the Set Options activity is set to “With Revision” and “Inherit Schedules to Program?” as “Yes”

For tasks applicable to component/engine, the system updates
1. The task schedules in component maintenance programs with the current revision, if the status of the revision is "Fresh", "Return", "Confirm" or "Inactive". Conversely, if the Status of the maintenance programs is "Active", the system creates the nest revision for the task in "Fresh" Status with the schedule updates.
2. The schedules of tasks with Job Type “On-Wing” in the current revision of aircraft-specific maintenance programs, if the status of the revision is one of the following: "Fresh", "Return", "Confirm" or "Inactive". Conversely, if the Status of the maintenance programs is "Active", the system creates the nest revision in "Fresh" Status with the schedule updates.

For tasks applicable to aircraft, the system uses the same reasoning an updates
1. The schedules of tasks in the current revision of aircraft-specific maintenance programs, if the status of the revision is one of the following: "Fresh", "Return", "Confirm" or "Inactive". Conversely, if the Status of the maintenance programs is "Active", the system creates the nest revision in "Fresh" Status with the schedule updates.
