The amount of time needed for an aircraft to be on the ground in order to comply with the E/C. The time format is user defined by hours (0.00). This information appears on the A/C Planning Query results window as GTR (Ground Time Required). This field is mandatory when the Auto Reschedule checkbox is selected via the Engineering Control, Schedule Tab. For further information refer to the Auto Reschedule Functionality topic.

Inspection Program Reference

This field allows users to set a reference for all MPD tasks during the import process.

Expenditure

The G/L accounts linked to the expenditure code will be impacted when the E/C, and its associated Task Cards, are added to a Work Order. All materials issued, labor actuals, and expenses performed against this E/C impacts the expenditure codes financially. If the E/C does not have a defined expenditure code the system will use the W/O expenditure code to capture and record all financial impacts. Expenditure Codes are created via G/L Interface/ Update/ Journal Entries Expenditure. For more information, refer to the Configuring Expenditure Codes section of the G/L Interface manual. Financial transactions are recorded and available for review via the Journal Entries Query.

E/C Type

The Engineering Control Type.

E/C Check Type

This field allows the user to enter a system transaction code that sorts the Aircraft Check Status print contents based on the the configuration of the E/C Check Type transaction code. The Group/Sort Order field of the transaction code will sort E/Cs from shortest to longest check type based on their numeric value. For more information refer to E/C Check Type via the Engineering Transaction Codes Training Manual.

Note: This functionality is part of a customized print and is therefore not applicable for most users.

Associated Template

This field contains a selection of Templates that can be used in conjunction with the E/C.

FR (Fatigue Rate)

The Fatigue Rate being recorded by this E/C. This field is used to calculate fatigue schedules along with the Average Flight Time (AFT) and Basic Flight Time (AFB) parameters listed for specific Aircraft Type/Series. This functionality is used for Airbus aircraft only and should be provided by the manufacturer. For more information refer to Engineering Fatigue via the Engineering Training Manual.

FC (Fatigue Cycles)

The Fatigue Cycles being recorded by this E/C. This field is used to calculate Fatigue schedules along with the Average Flight Time (AFT) and Basic Flight Time (AFB) parameters listed for specific Aircraft Type/Series. This functionality is used for Airbus aircraft only and should be provided by the manufacturer. For more information refer to Engineering Fatigue via the Engineering Training Manual.

ETOPS checkbox

Indicates that this E/C is ETOPS rated with an extended range allotted to the aircraft.

EC Legacy

The legacy system's E/C name. This field functions as a mapping between a previous carrier's E/C name and the target carrier's E/C name. This field is not for manual input; it is populated automatically by an interface and is informational only.

This field is part of a customized interface and is not available for all customers.

Capability Area

The Capability Area identifies where a maintenance task can be accomplished in association with the customer's internal capabilities (e.g., a particular E/C can only be accomplished during a heavy maintenance visit at a heavy maintenance capable Site). The Capability Area can be assigned for E/Cs, P/N Controls, and Defect Reports. However, a maintenance task with any Capability Area can be scheduled on Work Orders at Sites that have their Capability Area set to 'ALL'. For more information, refer to the Capability Area via the Planning Transaction Code Training Manual.

Maintenance Program

Maintenance Program enables the user to identify which Maintenance Program a particular E/C belongs to.

Planning Dept.

Note: When Switch PLANDEPT is set to Yes, the Planning Dept and Planning Sub Dept fields become mandatory in the following windows: P/N Control, Engineering Control/ Other tab, Defect Report/ Defer tab. When set to No, the Planning Dept and Planning Sub Dept fields are not mandatory. For more information, refer to Switch PLANDEPT via the Planning Switches Training Manual.

Planning Sub Dept.

The Planning Sub Department code to assist the Planning department in filtering and planning tasks.

Note: When Switch PLANDEPT is set to Yes, the Planning Dept and Planning Sub Dept fields become mandatory in the following windows: P/N Control, Engineering Control/ Other tab, Defect Report/ Defer tab. When set to No, the Planning Dept and Planning Sub Dept fields are not mandatory. For more information, refer to Switch PLANDEPT via the Planning Switches Training Manual.

Repair/Alteration

Defines if the record requires Repair or Alteration.

Other - The component is neither altered or repaired. This is a miscellaneous option.

Alteration - This compliance of the E/C will alter the component (i.e. the removal or addition of sub-components).
