TRAX MANUALS > Settings > Settings Module > Settings, Update Menu > Aircraft > A/C Master Buttons > Template Button, via Aircraft Master

The Template button automatically creates an A/C template by copying 'properties' (P/N Effectivity, P/N Positions, A/C E/Cs, and Task Cards) to the currently selected Aircraft record. The P/N Effectivity, P/N Positions, A/C E/Cs, and Task Cards must be previously set up and made effective to the A/C Type/Series that is defined on the currently selected Aircraft record.

Note: The A/C Master Template can only be performed for a particular aircraft one time. Once the template is created, its different sections can be updated, as required, through various means within the system. The product of the A/C Template is the 'Perfect Aircraft' assembly. Upon attempting to create an A/C Template that has already been loaded, the following error appears:

Once completed, verification and auditing of this information should be mandatory to ensure correct compliance information.
