TRAX MANUALS > Technical Records > Technical Records Module > Technical Records, Update Menu > Defect Report > Defect Report Detail > Defect Report Detail Buttons > A/C In/Out Service Button, via Defect Report Detail

The A/C In/Out Service button is used by the Maintenance Control department to place an A/C out of service and then return it to service as necessary. This button is typically used in the event of an incident. The aircraft can be placed in or out of service via the Work Order. If the aircraft is placed 'Out of Service,' via the Work Order, it will be placed back 'In Service' automatically when the Work Order is closed. If it is a Line Work Order, the aircraft must be placed back 'In Service' manually.

The following information/options are available in this window:
