The Positioning Control button is designed to specify E/C applicability based on the part's installed position. Select the Positioning Control button to define P/N Positions by Engineering Control. The Positioning Control button is used along with the P/N A/C Configuration. This functionality should contain the same A/C Position information as detailed in the P/N A/C Configuration window for the E/C to effectively apply.

From the Engineering Control P/N window, select the Positioning Control button.

Enter the A/C and A/C position information in the A/C Position field.

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

E/O

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

P/N

The Part Number reference for the aircraft part.

A/C Position

The aircraft position reference.

A/C

The individual aircraft tail number.

NHA P/N

The part’s Next Higher Assembly P/N (if applicable).

NLA Position

The position of the Next Lower Assembly.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Note: If the specified part has a P/N Control, its schedule can be overridden and kept as such, regardless of any transactions that are conducted and/or any updates that are made within the P/N Master, through the Override checkbox, via the P/N Control Authorization.

The status of the installed part will automatically set to 'Open' when installed on the aircraft position specified in both the Engineering Positioning Control and P/N A/C Configuration window, otherwise upon the P/N's installation onto the specified aircraft, the status of the P/N will be set to 'N/A.'

For more information refer to P/N E/C Position Controls.

Note: For more information on how P/N E/C Effectivity can be affected throughout the system, refer to the P/N E/C Effectivity Tracking Guide.
