GSE Engineering Compliance, General Tab

Users can manually create a compliance record for the GSE E/C as opposed to automatic compliance via the GSE module (GSE Work Orders) via the GSE Engineering Compliance option.

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.

When an E/C Status is changed, the status, in most cases, cascades down to the E/C effective items. For more information refer to E/C Status Cascade Functionality via the Engineering - E/C Training Manual.

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.

Reset Status for All Effective Items button

This buttons allows users to select which effective individual items (aircraft or components) to have the Status cascaded down to. The status will cascade to the selected items even if they are overridden at the individual effectivity level. When selected, the Multi A/C P/N S/N window pops up where the user can select the individual records.

E/C

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

Category

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

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.

Classification

The classification of the E/C (i.e. Mandatory, Optional, etc.).

Revision

The revision number of the E/C. This can be alpha numeric. 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.

Revised 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.

Amendment

The amendment field normally relates to AD amendment numbers. This is alpha numeric and issued by the authority or company issuing the P/N E/C.

Issued By

The vendor or authority (i.e. FAA, JAA Task Card.) who issued the E/C.

Issued Date

The date the E/C was issued by the vendor or authority.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Note: When creating a new E/C, if Switch ECINTREV is set to Yes, when the E/C is saved, the revision window will pop up where the user will enter the revision description. The system does not allow the revision window to be closed without saving. If set to No the revision window will not pop up.

Note: Users can receive an Email or Notes message when any action is performed against an E/C by setting up the Notifications through the E/C Category System Transaction Code. For more information refer to the E/C Category via the Engineering Transaction Codes Manual.
