Create Component Warranty – A summary of the activity

Warranty is an approved performance level of items or services supplied by a particular vendor to a customer. A service is a repair done by a vendor on an aircraft or component. Purchase of components, or services on various components, have warranty associated with them. The most common items an operator seeks to be covered under warranty are the new assets such as aircraft, engines, APUs, rotables and services thereupon. Other items like spares and consumables can also be covered under warranty.

Component Warranty Reference

A component warranty reference document contains the warranty coverage information defined for a component. The Warranty Clauses and Warranty Terms that are applicable for a particular component are identified as Warranty Coverage information. At any given time, a component can have more than one warranty reference ‘active’.

In this activity, you can create the component warranty reference document.

Warranty Clause

Warranty Clause is a statement, which gives the permissible conditions within which warranty claim can be made. A claim is made when the component under warranty fails within the warranty period. Warranty clauses can be in terms of more than one consumption type parameter like FH, FC or Elapsed time. Whenever there is more than one parameter associated for warranty purposes, warranty clause shall normally apply to any of the parameters, whichever is falling earlier.

Thus, if a warranty clause reads as follows:

‘1000FH or One year (365days) from the date of receipt, whichever is earlier’,

It means that the warranty lapses, if

• the component has served 1000FH within, say 10 months after receipt by the customer, or

• the component has served, say 430FH on the 365^th day after the receipt.

Warranty Type

Warranty can be classified as, “New”, “OEM”, “Overhaul”, “Repair”, "Mod" and "Ultimate Life". This would enable to capture warranty details on a service. Warranty types are explained below:

•  New – denotes that the warranty is given by the Supplier.

• OEM - denotes that the warranty is given by the OEM.

• Overhaul - denotes that the warranty is given for the overhaul.

• Repair – denotes that the warranty is given for the Repair.

• Mod – denotes that the warranty is given for the modification done on the component as suggested by MCR.

• Ultimate Life –denotes that the warranty is given for entire life of  the component.

Component Warranty Statuses

• Fresh – the status of the component warranty reference, on creation.

• Confirmed – the status of the component warranty reference, on confirmation.

• Cancelled – the status of the component warranty reference, on cancellation

• Expired – The status of the component warranty reference, when the warranty on the component expires.
