A/C P/N Transaction

Technical Records/ Update/ A/C P/N Transaction

The A/C P/N Transaction option will allow users to enter transactions related to parts for the aircraft (removals, installations, etc.).

This window can be accessed from the Defect Report, W/O Task Card Work In Progress, as well as directly from Technical Record/Update/A/C P/N Transaction. The system will verify that the ETOPS transaction is allowed by validating the status of each part and the status of the aircraft at installation. A warning message will be shown if there is a problem with the transaction. For example, if the part being installed is not ETOPS authorized, or if it has been issued to a non-ETOPS aircraft, a warning message will be displayed.
