Dent Mapping Query

The Dent Mapping Query allows users to query for any aircraft that have physically marked dents on images of the aircraft where one or more defects have been identified. Similar to any of the query windows in TRAX, when more search parameters are entered, the system will return more specific results.

This window is security controlled via Technical Records/ Query/ Dent Mapping Query. For additional information, refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual.

Go to Technical Records/ Update/ Dent Mapping Query.

TRAX displays the Dent Map window.

Enter any desired search criteria and select the Find button. In the following example, the user has elected to search by aircraft.

The system returns the following result. The user can view physical dents that have been marked on the images of the aircraft. They can also view all open defects associated to the aircraft.
