Engineering Authorization Management, General Tab

The Engineering Authorization Management window is used to query E/Cs that are pending authorization. In the General tab, enter the search criteria and select the Find button to query for E/Cs .

As with the majority of the query selections in the system, it is better to select as many parameters as possible to minimize the search result.

Note: For Shop E/Cs, the exact name of the Shop E/C in the E/C field must be entered for the system to find it.

Query:

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

E/C

The Engineering Control that specifies aircraft or component scheduled maintenance intervals.

Control Type

The Engineering Control Type (E/C or Task Card).

Category

The category of the E/C (e.g., AD, SB, CHECK).

E/C Status

Select the status of the E/C from one of the following options:

ALL - All records.

Applicable/Not Embody - The E/C is applicable to an A/C Type/Series or Part Number, but may not be mandatory. This status allows the E/C to be entered in the system, but does not require compliance.

Cancel - The E/C has been cancelled.

N/A - The originating document (AD, SB, MOD, etc.) has been evaluated and is deemed not effective to a specific A/C or P/N.

Open - The E/C is Open.

Pending - This is the default status. This will be the status until the E/C is authorized. If the user requires holding this E/C until ready, it can be left as Pending even after the record has been saved. Once the E/C is authorized the status will show as Open.

Rejected - The E/C was rejected or not authorized and may need to be sent back through the authorization process for revision. This status should not be selected manually.

Terminated - The E/C is no longer in use. It has either been complied with for all effective aircraft or components, or the action of another E/C has terminated it. When an E/C is terminated, the termination applies to the entire fleet. This status should not be selected manually.

CHP/SEC/PAR

The ATA chapter/section/paragraph, as applicable.

Document

The document reference number associated to the E/C.

Document Category

The document category code for the document reference associated to the E/C.

Sub-Category

A Sub Category can be used to further define the E/C Category, if applicable. For example, users may want to classify their ADs for Engines, APUs, and Landing Gear separately. The Sub Category System Transaction Code is set up via Settings/ Explorer/ System Transaction Code/ Engineering.

Tied To W/O checkbox

Select this checkbox to search for E/Cs that are linked to Work Orders. This option activates the option to mass authorize pending E/Cs against a specific Work Order (by entering that W/O in the Selected W/O field then clicking the Mass Authorize Pending E/Cs button).

Note: When this checkbox is selected, the Selected W/O field becomes available.

Selected W/O

Enter a W/O to only search for E/Cs linked to that particular Work Order. This option helps mass authorize only those pending E/Cs that are linked to the specified Work Order (by entering that W/O in the Selected W/O field then clicking the Mass Authorize Pending E/Cs button).

Note: This field only appears when the Tied To W/O checkbox is selected.

A/C

The individual aircraft tail number. Enter the aircraft the E/C is effective to.

A/C Type

The aircraft type the E/C is effective to.

A/C Series

The aircraft series the E/C is effective to.

Company

The name of the airline company for which the E/C will be utilized.

Note: If an E/C was created for a specific company, that company needs to be entered in the company field. The system will not find company specific E/Cs if ALL is used in the company field; ALL is reserved for E/Cs that were created without a designate company.

Note: For more information, refer to the Multi Company Functionality.

Control

The Control (A/C, P/N, A/C Type, or ALL) used to auto generate the E/C reference. This field is used for naming purposes only. When the 'ALL' option is selected the E/C Control field will not auto generate the E/C reference. The E/C reference will auto generate from the Sub E/C field. If the Control Type 'Task Card' is selected when querying by Company, Control or Sub E/C Task Card, no results will appear.

Sub E/C Task Card

Enter the associated Sub E/C Task Card. If the Control Type 'Task Card' is selected when querying by Company, Control or Sub E/C Task Card, no results will appear.

EO Effectivity Category drop down

The EO Effectivity Category drop down is used to filter the search results based on the effectivity status of the Engineering Control. The following options are available in this drop down:

ALL - Select ALL to query for Engineering Controls that are effective to component(s), aircraft(s), or both.

PN/EC - Select PN/EC to only query for Engineering Controls that are component effective.

AC/EC - Select AC/EC to only query for Engineering Controls that are aircraft effective.
