Aircraft configuration tree structure

On launching the page, the system displays the current aircraft configuration along with the position codes, in the form of a tree structure. Details such as Aircraft #, Component#, Position Codes, Part#, Part Description, Serial #, and Component # are displayed in the tree structure. The system refreshes the tree structure whenever a replacement, removal or attachment transaction is recorded for the component.

Recording component replacement details – An overview

Components fitted to the aircraft have their own maintenance schedule, which might require the component to be removed from the aircraft for execution of the maintenance activity (at the component shop). Discrepancies reported on the component might also mandate the component to be removed from the aircraft. Work orders through which component replacements are executed will have the details such as the removal reason, removal date, the parent component and the in-coming component details, recorded. These replacements are reflected in the physical configuration of the aircraft. The history of the fitment is also recorded, for future reference in usage and reliability studies.

In this page, you can create a component replacement transaction and confirm a component replacement. A unique component replacement transaction number will be generated by the system based on the numbering type you have selected in the “Set Options” activity.

The system displays the basic work order details and displays the details of the component to be removed. The component ID to be removed, part serial number of the component ID and position code where the component is fitted, are displayed. You can enter the tag number to be attached to the component after the removal of the component from the aircraft, the date at which the component is removed and the employee code of the person who removed the component. You must also enter the reason for removing the component.

The component replacement details such as the component ID and the part and serial number of the installed component can be entered. You can also enter the component attachment date and the employee code of the person who installed the component.

When the component to be serviced is removed, it may require some additional components to be removed in order to remove the “unserviceable” component. The additional component that needs to be removed can also be specified in this page. You can specify the position code from where the component is to be removed and component details. You must also enter the reason for which the component is removed.

You can replace the removed component or place a new component in the position code. If you are placing a new component, you are to enter the installed component details. The component attachment date and the employee code of the person who installed the component can also be specified.

A unique component replacement transaction number will be generated for the component details entered in the multiline, based on the numbering type and the option you have selected in the “Set Option” activity.

Note: You cannot record component replacement information for a work order that is in “Closed” status.

You can confirm a component removal or replacement transaction only after creating the transaction.
