Remove Only, via A/C P/N Transaction

One Serial number (or assembly) is removed from an aircraft. This transaction will usually be followed by an installation at a later time.

A transaction record is written for the removed part(s). This will include the P/N control times (TSN [Time Since New], TSO [Time Since Overhaul] etc.) as of the transaction.

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

P/N

The Part Number reference for the aircraft part.

S/N

Batch

The inventory number that is currently associated with a part or group of parts. A part's Batch number can change after various types of transactions take place.

Unschedule radio button

Select this checkbox if the part is to be removed as serviceable (i.e. it can still return for active use at a later time).

Form-1 checkbox

Select this checkbox to generate a Form 1 print for the Removal transaction.

Note: This checkbox is only available when Switch REPRINTFONE is set to Yes. For more information refer to the Technical Records Switches Manual.

Part Number Removal/Install Process

Part's Ownership Information included in F/A Swap:

When a part is removed from a managed aircraft, the Owner and Loan Category of the part (if any) is stored in the 'Fixed_Asset_Pending' table. Once another Serial Number is installed, the Fixed Asset record along with the Ownership information is swapped from the removed Serial Number to the installed Serial Number. (This information in the Fixed Asset Pending table ensures that the Owner information is swapped when a S/N is removed through a 'Remove Only' transaction and replaced through an 'Install Only' transaction.)
