Defect Report A/C on Hold Query

The Defect Report A/C on Hold Query window allows users to query for aircraft that have been placed on 'Hold' status due to an incident or accident. This query window was created because once an aircraft has been placed on Hold via the A/C Registration change window, the system will prevent the creation or modification of any transactions against that A/C throughout the entire system. Defect Reports where the aircraft has been placed on Hold can only be queried via this window.

This window is security controlled via Security Explorer/ Technical Records/ Query/ Defect Report A/C on Hold Query. For additional information, refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training manual.

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