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

Control Type

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

Status

The status of the E/C. When creating a new E/C the initial status will default to Pending; if the user requires to hold this E/C until ready it can be left as Pending, or alternatively it can be changed to another status.

The following Status options are available:

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.

E/C

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

Company

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

Sub E/C

The Sub E/C used to auto generate the E/C reference. This is a free text field used for naming purposes only.

Category

Sub Category

Classification

When the revision is changed and saved, the system will prompt the user with a revision control record, where the changes made for the specific revision can be saved for auditing purposes. The 'Revised By' field will be automatically updated with the user's user code, and the revision date can be set as required.

Note: If Switch ECAUTH is set to Yes, authorization will be required for all E/Cs that have been revised.

Revision By

The user who creates and/or authorizes the E/C revision.

Date (Revision Date)

The date the E/C was put into revision (if E/C is currently in revision), or the date the final authorization step was completed in the E/C revision authorization process.
